SLOW MOTION SCIENCE!  Ferrofluid dropping on magnet

I have a physics question: if you allow a drop of water to hit a piece of paper, it will leave a slash pattern. If you were to control for every variable and the identical volume of water falls the identical distance through, let us say, a vacuum, logic would tell us the splash pattern should also be identical. Yet intuition  would whisper to us that , similar to snowflakes, each pattern would be different, unique. Which would be true? Would the splash patterns be identical or different?
