Splatfest Changes:
During Splatfests what was previously the Vibe Meter will now display your Splatfest Power.
Initial Splatfest Power level depends upon your current Ranked Battle rank.
Splatfest Power level will change depending on wins or losses during Splatfest Battles.
The player with the highest Splatfest Power on the winning team will receive a slightly larger boost to their Splatfest Power than their teammates after the match.
Until now, Splatfest matchmaking favored grouping players with similar play styles. Players will now be more likely to play with those of similar Splatfest Power level.
The higher a team’s average Splatfest Power level, the more Splatfest Points they will earn after winning.
