New Japan Splatfest! Perfect Body vs. Perfect Intellect

[yokokazuo]

The latest Splatfest has been announced for Japan!

"Which do you want?"
A perfect body or a perfect intellect?

 

[Joseph Staleknight]

So, Japan's version of "Art vs. Science", where Art refers to "physical aesthetics"?

But really, I'd personally take a perfect brain over a perfect body any time. Our brains are pretty much the reason we even have things like Arts and Sciences, and a perfect body can only get you so far.

I'm pretty sure the proper term is "Brawns" vs "Brains".

That works too.

Would honestly take brains, my body isn't perfect anyway and i'd rather very smart than to be very fit. (Coming from the guy who picked fitness over money).

 

[rsnw]

Honestly I'd consider joining the perfect body team, since I am already in a high-level class and my body isn't that good, and I'm still an orienteener.
Though, it could go any way.

Marie is on Team Brain because she already has a gorgeous body. :)

 

[Flareth]

Much as having a killer body might be a boost to my self-confidence, I prefer having a sharp mind. Too bad it's been wasted on Splatoon for the last 8 months.

Definitly perfect brain here. There is just so much more you can do with a perfect brain. Maybe invent a time machine:p.

 

[JuddTheCat]

You can have a perfect brain for ideas to make a perfect body.

 

[Coleo&Idea]

When I have a perfect body I also have a perfect brain.

 

[birdiebee]

I voted Team Brain.

As others have mentioned it makes more sense?

Also if your mind is perfect, theoretically you'd have a perfect body by extension of that. You never wouldn't be motivated to attain your goals, or get bogged down by petty human emotions- jealousy, lack of self-esteem, suffer from depression, common things that hold people back from being their best.

Not to mention acute awareness of others intentions, ability to easily manipulate others to meet your ends.. you could get/do/make/be anything you want. It's difficult to fathom the extent of what a perfect mind can do, because human history has never seen one.

Edit: said Splatfest began, but I just thought it was already Friday/Saturday for some reason haha...

It starts Friday 7pm PST, Saturday 3am GMT, 12pm JST.

This is exactly the kind of splatfest we need over here in the good ol' US of A.

 

[BlackZero]

If I could, I would vote brains. Good physical conditioning is important, but nothing can beat strong intellect.

 

[PrinceOfKoopas]

Isn't Team Brain obviously going to win when the voting base are nerdy videogame players?

 

[aceofscarabs]

Marie keeps her Team Science leanings, I see.

 

[Zombie Aladdin]

I love how Callie is simultaneously mad-typing, playing squid-shogi, and playing squid-go.

You can have a perfect brain for ideas to make a perfect body.

Yep. You'd be surprised just how many bodybuilders there are out there who are also intellectuals. (Arnold is one.) They're using their wisdom and knowledge to strategize how to sculpt their physique and avoid mistakes.

Man, not even half an hour into the Splatfest and already Perfect Intellect is proving to be too popular:

I just hope this won't carry all the way to the end.

I had forgotten about Splatfest. (Looks like servers are down right now though...)
I don't think I've ever faced my team in a Splatfest so it looks like that may happen this time depending on the numbers.

Also for those wondering, the current maps are Walleye Warehouse, Piranha Pit and Ancho-V Games.
