André de Lacerda Santos omg the part where he said "don't die" is so real I related to that on a personal level I've died so much now I'm so much better
Regarding "watch your gameplay": I really hope Nintendo will add a mode in the future where you can rewatch your recent matches (e.g. like MKTV). I can feel this video was tons of work, so I really hope as many as possible will see it!
A spectating option for friends (either whenever they want or while waiting to join your next match) would be really cool as well. Self reflection is already a big step towards success but theres always a chance you might miss something, therefore it would be great if anyone else could point those things out and hand out some constructive tips :) Not sure if Nintendo would do something like that tho, hopefully in future updates or in a possible third Splatoon game if it’s too much for now
You can use the Switch's screenshot button to record videos. They're only 30 seconds max, so it's best to record immediately after a key moment, like a team wipe or losing a 1v1 for example.
This is the first guide I've seen that actually explains how to improve - most stop at "practice loads", whilst you've actually explained how to do this practicing. Thank you so much! ^^
Yeah, it's a great video. I used to do most of this stuff for Soul Calibur 2 back in the day and it works. Especially recommend that you find a way to record your matches and watch them with a small group of people.
Don’t complain... I think that is the most important point. People is so selfish that thinks the world spin around them. They find it hard to accept that there are other players who busted their asses of to become who they are...
Ok, since we're sharing tips and tricks... I've got a few things. 1. You can move/Swim with your map open. 2. Use it. (Your map) As in, watch the ink during the match while you travel. You can spot enemies by seeing the enemy ink the ground while they move forward. This makes it easier to spot enemies who want to flank you and/or want to get behind your team. 3. Learn all to ways to get around in every map. As in familiarize yourself with every possible way to get to a certain area. Also, start seeing the maps as if they were cut into sections. This will help more in turf war but it's helpful to know what section needs the most attention at the given time. For example: Art Academy The Art Academy has (Well, in my mind) has seven sections. 2 Spawn areas, 2 Shell areas before the spawn area, 2 lower areas, and the middle area. Wish I could show you but, I think you have a general idea of what I'm talking about. At least I hope so. 4. Be tactical. Start thinking ahead of the enemy and try to out think them. Put yourself in their position and think of a way for defeat yourself. Then come up with a counter attack. For example: Let's say we're in turf war. It's the Art Academy and your team is being spawn killed and my team is in the shell area. What do you do? Well, If I were you I'd go to the left hallway bit and try to out flank the enemy team and/or try to get behind them. With knowing that, I tell my team, position myself to where I get the advantage, and as soon as you drop... I spring my trap. 5. Choke points. Find areas in the map where you can stop an enemy team from advancing. For example: (Turf War Art Academy... again) In the Shell section, there's a ramp leading to the middle area. That there is a choke point. (with an e-liter) One could put a ink mine at the beginning of the ramp and the end of it and just stay in the shell area.(or the little tower bit)They could start picking off enemies and start inking the middle area. If any enemies try to use the ramp they'll be spotted and either snipped off or hunted down by the team. Thus preventing the enemy from advancing into the shell or spawn areas. Plus it's a safe spot for a sniper. or someone (With a splatling... Anything long range) could be guarding the choke point while turfing half of the middle are and one of the lower areas. Now, this is good because you have someone who's defending the spawn area and the shell area, but at the same time they can turf half of the middle area and one of the lower areas. They could theoretically be controlling half of the entire map. This gives the rest of the team more flexibility to go kill off the enemy or to get more turf control. Do keep in mind that an enemy could jump over and get in the shell area. So watch out for that. All of this may not work for everyone but this helped me and it might even help you. I've got more but this is starting to get pretty long...
Mr. Roboto I always put ink mines on the tower in tower control. There's always a sense of satisfaction where it goes "They Have the Tower" only for me to watch them get blown up by my ink mine
If you really work on this, Splatoon is such a great game for working on yourself. Particularly Splat Zones where every death is an opportunity to regain focus, control your anxiety, and mostly reflect on yourself how to come back "as a team" and contribute to a shared victory. I'm an average X player and even though I don't play competitively I always spend time in the training room before I play so I can be at my top game for that day and help my team. Out of respect to your random teammates is the best habit to have before jumping into any match or anything in your life that isn't Splatoon
Being persistent is good and all, however if you are salty or tilted at the moment, you will never improve. Take a break. Play turf war. Practice your skills. Do anything but the thing that got you angry
dankey kang honestly taking a breaks has help me rank up alot faster than just going at it like a mad man getting 10 losses in a session now if I loss more than twice in a row I chill out for a bit and try to come back.
This. I was S+9 in RM and I won 6-9 matches in a row. (I don’t remember exactly.) I was literally 1 game away from ranking up to X, but I lost one match. That was fine, since you can’t win every match you play. Another game passes, and my team got wiped within 20 seconds and got a loss by KO instantly. By then, I was a little mad at myself since I only needed one more win. I ended up losing until my meter cracked 4 times in one session. I put the game down for the rest of the week, and came back only to get rank X almost immediately. And proceeded to get demoted almost as fast. Oh well, at least I got there lol
a thing i like to do is whenever i lose/fail/die, i just make loud noises while i'm still having fun before i let the anger build up and i become genuinely angry. whenever i'm silent, i dont do as well as when i'm hyper and all over the place.
Very true, but it's really hard not to get salty when both my cross hairs are on an enemy while I'm using the splash o matic and should get like 9 shots off but get 3
It's easier to find like minded people online than it is everywhere else! On the internet you can filter people with the exact same interest while in real life you have to stick to that small circle of people around you. So I highly recommend to seek for like minded people on the internet it's the easiest way to make friends.
Here’s more tips for those who have the Octo Expansion: 1. Beat it. 2. Beat every stage without using Marina. 3. Try to beat all stages with every weapon. (Spoilers coming up) 4. Try to beat all stages (where you can take damage) without taking damage (or, in the case of one boss: without getting hit). 5. Repeatedly battle Inner Agent 3 until you can easily kill him/her on the first attempt. 6. Repeatedly battle Inner Agent 3 on your bad days. This will help you a lot more than if you repeatedly battled him/her on your good days. 7. Try to kill Inner Agent 3 WITHOUT taking damage.
Maybe, but the Octo-Shot wouldn’t be terrible as a second. (Also I kinda-sorta have like Blasters, Chargers, Splattershots, Dualies, Splatlings, Rollers, AND Brushes as my mains.) Also, you’d learn how to avoid enemy fire within range.
Nine Tailed Fury Actually YES, you CAN. All attacks are 100% dodge-able. (Yes, even the Inkjet, Autobomb Launcher, UFO Phase (Hardest phase in a No-Damage run), & Jump-Splashdown combo are ALL dodgeable with INSANE inking skillz (and also precise splat bomb throwing.) ...Just nobody has the skill to do so, (WITHOUT TAS,) since it’s about like tryna have an entire ship’s hit box dodge all the bullets in a bullet hell...
I love Splatoon but every time I think about going competitive I get nervous cause I feel like I'm too old to do it. But after watching this video, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to attempt to get to Rank X and see what happens from there
It’s so disappointing playing rank battle and getting so many wins in a row, then stop playing for a day and all of a sudden I lose 2 ranks. I just got to S+ and now back to S rank. Thanks for the tips, this really helped a lot.
Most excellent information. It's refreshing to hear these points spoken from a solid splatoon 2 player. Maybe could you do a followup video of which perks suit a weapon class better and/or what load outs are more effective in specific game play modes?
I watched this video a long time ago, maybe even years ago. I recently started playing on a competitive tf2 team. I saw this video again, and I can’t believe how much of it has stuck with me through this time. My entire method getting better at tf2 is just exactly this, even if I had forgotten about the video itself. Truly an incredible video, for more than just splatoon 2.
Always when i get bodied i always die everytime i only shoot a shot if ink but i don't care, it's good practice and sometimes i even get 1 or 2 kills. I have 1000+ splatoon 2 play hours most used to just normally play and get better at the game without watching any videos on how to get better. I basically just played and played and now in ranked i get 15 up to 20 kills per round! Thank you for this video, i will try to follow these tips even tho my online just expired, will train offline in octo expansion for example or trying out combos
Still to this day, this guide remains one of the bests out there and is fully applicable to Splatoon 3. For the longest time I never had a TH-cam channel so I never got the opportunity to thank you for everything you did for the community as well as myself. So thank you, thank you so much for everything and we hope to see you around in the future :) Take care of yourself Wadsm ❤️
Hey thanks so much for this video! I hear all of these tips from top players all the time, but never all within one place. The persistence and time dedication really spoke to me, especially from someone who I look up to a lot 😅 Probably the best competitive video I’ve ever seen!
It's encouraging to hear someone say this who has been in competitive play. Whenever I watch Smash guides I always come away with the feeling of "maybe I'm not good enough and that's why I keep losing" when in reality the best players just play a shit ton, focus on specific areas of improvement, and not getting down on yourself when you keep losing... That's pretty basic and very helpful but I've never heard anyone say it
I developed a growth mindset about Splatoon after watching this, you gave me determination to get better, I've also found the weapon I'm best with, the Tri Slosher! Thank you so much!
this video also acts as an "I'm gonna train and get better!" kind of boost for when i get my everywhere kicked and feel like i cant go any further for me. thanks a ton fam
Thanks, I am pretty good at this game, but the lack of being able to train offline and me not having much access to internet is really holding me back and I feel like this video really helps me to be even better at the game.
I just watched the Nintendo splatoon world final for 2018 with your team from Germany and I was amazed by how you wiped out the entire team with your bucket and then I found your channel, crazy! Huge fan, I hope to be kick ass like you one day :)
Everyone has the potential to improve. Sorry for replying to this after two fucking years but,, I went from stuck in A- and I practiced a lot, reaching S+ in all modes. I’m even X rank in some (clam blitz was the most treacherous), by watching this video. You got this :>
I love this video! I always find myself telling myself that I’ll never be good at this game, mostly because I don’t learn from my mistakes; I just get pissed off. Now, after watching this video, I’m inspired to play Splatoon 2 more, and I’m going to kick butt
I want to complete hero mode, use my Callie amiibo to get the items, then ima git gud and change my name to, “your inner agent 3,” from the octo expansion But I need to git gud. I remember like 2-3 years ago when it came out my dad and I played so much together
This is way I main carbon roller. I like a challenge. I'm getting better. I'm learned its ok to back off. I have to get better on my fling aim. I'm still playing around the sensitivity options. I do get mad when I drop from S+ to A+ because I don't go up against better people. And I feel guilty for splating them. A+ was really hard for me before. As a carbon roller I can't afford to play aimlessly. I do send friend requests to people that kick my butt. So I can get better. And I do hang longer in a lobby if a lot of good player are in it. But I can see carbon roller would suck in a competitive environment. I like using the carbon roller because some people really dislike being splated by one.
I play at rank X and carbon roller is my secondary main. Inkbrush is my #1 main wepaon and carbon roller is next. Don't underestimate the power of carbon! It's hard to master but it works once you do.
Finally someone who explains how to work on their carrier and being better at the game, especially since there are so much players just giving up the game. This clearly is what the community needed. Great video, definitely worth a follow. Good job.
Are you the Wadsm from the World Champions Chip... omg. Your Gameplay was Godlike... 0.o Thx for this Tips. I play with the Clash Blaster because my aim is bad and i like the curling bombs. ^^" But jeah. I never seen good Splatoon Players with it... ^^" What do you think about the Clash Blaster?
Good at low Level but if you are planning to get into competitive you should drop it and Go for more Meta weapons and with enough practice your aim will get better👌
If you wish to play Clash competitive like my captain does, use it as a support weapon. Always be with someone and engage enemy squids 2v1. Clash is good for chip damage and places with a lot of hallways and closed spaces. It does suffer greatly from its bad damage output and range, so not a lot of people play it. But if you can use the weapons effectively and make it work in your gameplay style, then go for it!
This video is amazing! Every single tip in it really helped. Especially the "watch others" segment. I picked up the strategy of dipping in and out of ink repeatedly while strafing and shooting opponents to confuse them and splat them effectively. This game is so unique and I absolutely adore it
I forgot about splatoon for most of last year, I focused on smash odessey and Mario kart. I’m gonna get better at splatoon again, thanks for the great advice!
Great video, wadsm! Many valid points, and I agree with everything you said. 👍🏻 One can tell you put a lot of effort into this video. I will make sure to remember what you said, especially about practicing e.g. sub strafing in the dummy room... C: (I keep throwing random bombs!)
One. Wow. These points helped so much. Two. This helped me not be afraid to play solo queue, because I used to be afraid of losing my rank. Three. Keep making these videos. There amazing.
Holy crap, 90% of this video was information I needed to hear. Stuff about practicing I already know, and I’ve been working on, but training and things about practicing in the training room with sub strafing and stuff? I really don’t know why I didn’t think of that. There are a TON of amazing points you pointed out so I’m super glad you talked about them, and thanks again for the video! I subbed to you, so keep up the good work!
I play and practice my aim and skills really hard whenever I feel like it. Now I think I've gotten really good at the game thanks to all that practicing, and me playing through Octo Expansion 100%. My aim is really good most of the time. When I play online and I get salty/mad because of losing too much, I take a nice break, before I come back and try again.
What should I do if I am put on teams who don't do the objective, don't paint, and don't kill? I get cracks everytime I lose in Splat Zones, and my rank went from S to A because I got 20+ kills and 1500p+. I have been on teams, watched gameplay, etc. My ranks are all over the place from A- to S+. Also, nice tips.
Drew D. Well you just gotta stick to the game you're meant to play with your weapon. If you're a slayer stick to killing opponents and hope others do their job. If you play backliners it's of course your job to push the objective, but then it's up to others to kill stuff. Get me one thing straight: you're not losing because of your teammates. There might be matches where it seems that way but in the end it evens out.
The reason why your video is so strong is because this is a more generalized advice video for the competitive mindset for video games, and maybe even for yourself as a person as well. Fantastic points, sempai.
The last tip is my favorite, I used to complain a lot but when I closed my mouth and opened and focused my mind I improved in whatever I wanted. Complaining all of the time is truly a hindrance.
I was really discouraged after needing to disband my team earlier this year. I just stumbled upon this video and I feel that urge to get back on my feet again! I don't really have the time to commit anywhere between 8 to 16 hours a day like I used to being 25, but I really want to get better. Out of all this, I especially need to work on not complaining. Dualies drive me up the wall and have since release. Maybe I'm not getting better against them because of my hatred towards them. I don't know for sure, but thank you.
I started splatoon 2 in late April and this game is so damn fun! But I’ve wanted to get better so I did everything srb2dude said to switch to motion controls, I bought a pro controller, land adapter, new hdmi, cat 8 lab cable, monitor and even a gaming chair. I changed all the needed settings and after 3 weeks I’ve moved up from A+/S+ to S+1/2. Thank you for this playlist, I’m confident this will really improve my game
The “taking a break” part is so true. There are so many levels in games (including hero mode in Splatoon 2) that I couldn’t get past no matter how hard I tried, so I put the game down for a little, came back, and understood what I was doing wrong, and got past it. Taking breaking is healthy, and can help you in game.
Does anyone realize that the thumbnail has a female inkling with a muscular body without anything covering it? I may be looking to much into this but isn't that kinda I L L E G A L?
I searched this after watching the championship ship again. I really want to be able to get into a tournament one day, and I feel like this was very, very helpful. Thank you for your help, and for inspiring me!
I’m a few hundred hours into the game and have a long way to go before I’m good, but this video seems very helpful. Thanks. Also, that 3-football clam blitz delivery in the championships gave me the chills it was so amazing!
On top of the persistence is key, a break can be good as well as sometimes your mind has too much muscle memory of repeating habits that could make you preform worse than you can actually do.
Great video! I've been away from the game for almost 3 months because I was working double shifts, and now that I have free time at night again I was kind of unmotivated to come back since I'll most likely suck after not playing for so long. But watching this made me miss the game like crazy! I'll totally play some matches tonight and have fun even if I suck lol.
The reflecting tip really works. Also dont become salty or whatever just take it as a learning experience!!! I genuinely became a lot better with the octobrush
I've been looking for a good guide on this game and ways to improve, and I'm glad I did. My big issue areas are positioning, knowing when or when not to engage an enemy, or finding a good weapon or style to use. I've mostly found that I like to be a Backliner with weapons like splatlings or chargers, and frontliner/slayer with octobrush, ttek, and other stuff. I also am on a team who is very new and are taking our time to prepare and practice. We entered into SqSS today, and lost, but it was great being able to play against so many good teams and notice our trouble areas when playing Thanks so much Wadsm! It helped out a ton!
Glad I could help! Competing in SqSS will defintitely help eben if it feels a bit overwhelming at first. Actually positioning and knowing when to engage and disengage are good topics for another video. I will keep them in mind!
I play splatoon everyday and time and I never get better.. I tried so hard but I'll always be at the same spot in my entire Splatoon life. I love the video
I'm really happy that you made this video! I was feeling really depressed cause when I reached lvl 25 I started getting put in harder matches, but this is making me realize it was probably for the better. It'll help me learn my weaknesses and help me adapt to using the brush in new ways!
Bruh I came here to get some tips to cus i wanted to get back into splatoon 2 cus i got hyped of 3. And i left with some great life advice and feeling inspired and honestly... hopeful. Thanks mate
Ok, so basically for now, I'm gonna start playing a shit ton of splatoon and see if I like this. Splatoon is the only game I've come even close to wanting to play competitively. I've played other comp games like smash, cs:go and stuff but it never felt... fun enough? But I love playing splatoon and have since I got the original on day 1 and 2 a couple weeks or days after launch, but I gave neither a good amount of time. When playing both I always found the game fun even when I lose, I just care less about losses than in other games. I think it might be because of the short game length. Splatoon is also the only comp game series that I feel I was already naturally better at playing, I'm not really too sure of my skillset, but I usually get close to the top or first place, but I always want to play more when I see people that completely decide the result by being on the opposite team vs another team. I guess this is where watching your gameplay and improving on your habits and knowing your advantages and disadvantages comes to play. Anyways, I hope nobody had to read that. I'm very tired so I'm going to shower and go to sleep and so that another couple times until the weekend when I will get my splatoon 2 cart back from my friend who I lent it to. He also borrowed smash. He's kinda good at smash. I can't play against anything better than a level 6 cpu and I never want to. I don't know why I'm rambling so much especially considering nobody is gonna see this. I'm just tired.
I read it :) and i feel you. I played lots of comp games. Mostly cs go, league of legends and rocket league. I just got a switch and splatoon 2. I know this is fairly old at the moment but god this game is so much fun. I love the concept. But losing a match is not as bad as in most other games.
@@chromaticperception yeah, in CS:GO I have about 30 hours and most of that time I felt way less satisfied than when I play splatoon even when I was doing well and I would say a losing match in splat is more fun than a winning one in CS.
In my case - I’ve decided to “Retire”, I only play Leisurely now - not only for bad match-ups/cold match-ups… everyone else has a Better Chance to get X Rank than I do and ever would. Not only that, Life’s Challenges getting in the way. Me working nights - I have to sacrifice my Road to Competitive Gaming just to make ends meet, and to maybe try to focus on something else. X Rank was only a Vision, but as an Action… it was not meant to be. Everyone else… Good Luck.
My friend and I often have 1v1 "deathmatches" (custom game mode) usually just to have fun but it also helps us improve. I can't play normal battles or practice much since I have to play on my limited hotspot (hopefully I'm getting wifi soon) and I'm overall pretty bad. So my friend usually says he'll go easy on me. and every time I'll deny him saying "If you go easy on me I'll never learn." glad to see I'm in the right mindset. Thanks for the tips, they're gonna help me a lot.
About testing weapons here is some advice for people who want to get good at different types! So practice with one type for a while then when you are good move on (also i think its important to have times when you dont practice so use that time with weapins specials and subs you are good with so you dont get rusty) This video is amazing and goes in detail about what to do great video!
I've started playing not even a week ago. I've played at least a hour a day and I can see I'm improving a lot. Also I only watched one video to learn how to play and did better than most other people. Hey I'm level 17 in under a week!
This was really good. I'm still in S+ right now, so I'm far away from a top player and I recently realized I do not have the time to devote to become really good at the game. But if I did, this would be an excellent guide. I am so impressed with splatoon's community. I wish I was like 15 or something and I could devote more time to it... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this guide.
The only thing i really get mad about/complain about, are when my teammates do really dumb things, like run head first into the oppising team with just the rain maker, and no teammates to back them up, or bringing an arrowspray into any modes other than splat zones and turf war
You know what I can't confirmed that this worked but I will say one thin lot has reawoken my drive to play and get better o stopped caring recently but now I feel that urge to get better I feel very determined, thank you
Great video. This advice was some of the best because every other video is the same advice that is just about play style and not things like consistency, etc.
Alright, I tried to follow these rules. I overcame the most annoying weapons (clash blaster, *BOUNCY* squiffer, carbon roller, etc.) I've started to main the splat roller, because it's set is perfect for me, for I like to jump into action with a splashdown and get a squid-load of kills. Also, curling bombs are great because they make a path, and they can deal enough chip damage to get a distance kill with a vertical flick. I also tried to find good enemies, so i play at 4 : 12 A.M. so I can get the most advanced Japanese players. Yes, I get destroyed, but I learn from that. EQUIP NINJA SQUID IF GOING AGAINST プレーヤー AT NINETY-NINE STAR, WITH AN E-LITER. Other than that, I think that these tips are extremely helpful and I recommend them. I have now played for 500+ hours.

This isn't just about splatoon, it's about how to succeed in general, which is proof of how real this advice is.
Yes, getting bodied really helped me into running a multi-million dollar company
Not dying is very useful at times too
André de Lacerda Santos omg the part where he said "don't die" is so real I related to that on a personal level I've died so much now I'm so much better
Or how vague it is
Don’t die??
if you close your eyes, this video becomes more about life advice than it does splatoon advice
"If you die, ask yourself how you could've avoided it" lmao
@@georgemarshall6095
Yeah I don't think that would be a good one to take literally lol
"the most important tip I can give you, don't die. It sounds simple but it's truly the best thing you can do."
5:08
"Getting bodied is the best thing that can happen to you."
Regarding "watch your gameplay": I really hope Nintendo will add a mode in the future where you can rewatch your recent matches (e.g. like MKTV).
I can feel this video was tons of work, so I really hope as many as possible will see it!
same
LOLametro Totally agree. A rewatching feature with different angles would be great.
A spectating option for friends (either whenever they want or while waiting to join your next match) would be really cool as well. Self reflection is already a big step towards success but theres always a chance you might miss something, therefore it would be great if anyone else could point those things out and hand out some constructive tips :)
Not sure if Nintendo would do something like that tho, hopefully in future updates or in a possible third Splatoon game if it’s too much for now
You can use the Switch's screenshot button to record videos. They're only 30 seconds max, so it's best to record immediately after a key moment, like a team wipe or losing a 1v1 for example.
@@edadankmemes But you won't learn much from team wipes you do unfortunately. It's way more valueable to review a full match where you struggle.
I like the fact that this community is so welcoming!
Well...
Most of it is... Keyword, MOST.
Still better than a certain other competitive Nintendo community that discredits and disrespects top tier mains.
Wait is it toxic
@@awesomeness-uj9qq hehehehe
Watched it entirely and it's probably the best video I've seen about Splatoon. Great content and solid points bro
SorinMH I agree!
A competitive player watches a how to get good video lol
666th like...
This is the first guide I've seen that actually explains how to improve - most stop at "practice loads", whilst you've actually explained how to do this practicing. Thank you so much! ^^
Yeah, it's a great video. I used to do most of this stuff for Soul Calibur 2 back in the day and it works. Especially recommend that you find a way to record your matches and watch them with a small group of people.
Don’t complain... I think that is the most important point. People is so selfish that thinks the world spin around them. They find it hard to accept that there are other players who busted their asses of to become who they are...
Amen.
Lol
There is always a big difference between venting and complaining.
Ok, since we're sharing tips and tricks... I've got a few things.
1. You can move/Swim with your map open.
2. Use it. (Your map) As in, watch the ink during the match while you travel. You can spot enemies by seeing the enemy ink the ground while they move forward. This makes it easier to spot enemies who want to flank you and/or want to get behind your team.
3. Learn all to ways to get around in every map. As in familiarize yourself with every possible way to get to a certain area. Also, start seeing the maps as if they were cut into sections. This will help more in turf war but it's helpful to know what section needs the most attention at the given time.
For example: Art Academy
The Art Academy has (Well, in my mind) has seven sections. 2 Spawn areas, 2 Shell areas before the spawn area, 2 lower areas, and the middle area. Wish I could show you but, I think you have a general idea of what I'm talking about. At least I hope so.
4. Be tactical. Start thinking ahead of the enemy and try to out think them. Put yourself in their position and think of a way for defeat yourself. Then come up with a counter attack.
For example: Let's say we're in turf war. It's the Art Academy and your team is being spawn killed and my team is in the shell area. What do you do? Well, If I were you I'd go to the left hallway bit and try to out flank the enemy team and/or try to get behind them. With knowing that, I tell my team, position myself to where I get the advantage, and as soon as you drop... I spring my trap.
5. Choke points. Find areas in the map where you can stop an enemy team from advancing.
For example: (Turf War Art Academy... again)
In the Shell section, there's a ramp leading to the middle area. That there is a choke point. (with an e-liter) One could put a ink mine at the beginning of the ramp and the end of it and just stay in the shell area.(or the little tower bit)They could start picking off enemies and start inking the middle area. If any enemies try to use the ramp they'll be spotted and either snipped off or hunted down by the team. Thus preventing the enemy from advancing into the shell or spawn areas. Plus it's a safe spot for a sniper.
or someone (With a splatling... Anything long range) could be guarding the choke point while turfing half of the middle are and one of the lower areas.
Now, this is good because you have someone who's defending the spawn area and the shell area, but at the same time they can turf half of the middle area and one of the lower areas. They could theoretically be controlling half of the entire map. This gives the rest of the team more flexibility to go kill off the enemy or to get more turf control.
Do keep in mind that an enemy could jump over and get in the shell area. So watch out for that.
All of this may not work for everyone but this helped me and it might even help you. I've got more but this is starting to get pretty long...
Mr. Roboto I always put ink mines on the tower in tower control. There's always a sense of satisfaction where it goes "They Have the Tower" only for me to watch them get blown up by my ink mine
I can never seem to put more than one on the tower, so it’s a lil underwelming
If you really work on this, Splatoon is such a great game for working on yourself. Particularly Splat Zones where every death is an opportunity to regain focus, control your anxiety, and mostly reflect on yourself how to come back "as a team" and contribute to a shared victory. I'm an average X player and even though I don't play competitively I always spend time in the training room before I play so I can be at my top game for that day and help my team. Out of respect to your random teammates is the best habit to have before jumping into any match or anything in your life that isn't Splatoon
Well put. Need to hear something like this rn....
Being persistent is good and all, however if you are salty or tilted at the moment, you will never improve. Take a break. Play turf war. Practice your skills. Do anything but the thing that got you angry
dankey kang honestly taking a breaks has help me rank up alot faster than just going at it like a mad man getting 10 losses in a session now if I loss more than twice in a row I chill out for a bit and try to come back.
This. I was S+9 in RM and I won 6-9 matches in a row. (I don’t remember exactly.) I was literally 1 game away from ranking up to X, but I lost one match. That was fine, since you can’t win every match you play. Another game passes, and my team got wiped within 20 seconds and got a loss by KO instantly. By then, I was a little mad at myself since I only needed one more win. I ended up losing until my meter cracked 4 times in one session. I put the game down for the rest of the week, and came back only to get rank X almost immediately.
And proceeded to get demoted almost as fast. Oh well, at least I got there lol
Honestly, I just shut down and allow myself to lose out of sadness of being a failure.
a thing i like to do is whenever i lose/fail/die, i just make loud noises while i'm still having fun before i let the anger build up and i become genuinely angry. whenever i'm silent, i dont do as well as when i'm hyper and all over the place.
Very true, but it's really hard not to get salty when both my cross hairs are on an enemy while I'm using the splash o matic and should get like 9 shots off but get 3
I came to learn how to play Splatoon, i came out re evaluating my life.
I can say the same lo, but with no satisfactory conclusions
I don't really play Splatoon 2, but as an dedicated art student I can safely say that this is something my proffessor would agree to.
I mean how much playing time you would get when you’re saving Zelda🤷♂️
Oof. I wish I had friends that I could show my gameplay footage... or work with... or, interact with like a normal human being.
It's easier to find like minded people online than it is everywhere else! On the internet you can filter people with the exact same interest while in real life you have to stick to that small circle of people around you. So I highly recommend to seek for like minded people on the internet it's the easiest way to make friends.
Wanna play together ?
I wouldn't mind making new friends to play with
Same
Damn same.. Everyone skiPS MY TEXT GODDAMMIT
Here’s more tips for those who have the Octo Expansion:
1. Beat it.
2. Beat every stage without using Marina.
3. Try to beat all stages with every weapon.
(Spoilers coming up)
4. Try to beat all stages (where you can take damage) without taking damage (or, in the case of one boss: without getting hit).
5. Repeatedly battle Inner Agent 3 until you can easily kill him/her on the first attempt.
6. Repeatedly battle Inner Agent 3 on your bad days. This will help you a lot more than if you repeatedly battled him/her on your good days.
7. Try to kill Inner Agent 3 WITHOUT taking damage.

I'll try...
Wouldn't that just make you main the octo shot?
Maybe, but the Octo-Shot wouldn’t be terrible as a second.
(Also I kinda-sorta have like Blasters, Chargers, Splattershots, Dualies, Splatlings, Rollers, AND Brushes as my mains.)
Also, you’d learn how to avoid enemy fire within range.
Nine Tailed Fury Actually YES, you CAN. All attacks are 100% dodge-able. (Yes, even the Inkjet, Autobomb Launcher, UFO Phase (Hardest phase in a No-Damage run), & Jump-Splashdown combo are ALL dodgeable with INSANE inking skillz (and also precise splat bomb throwing.)
...Just nobody has the skill to do so, (WITHOUT TAS,) since it’s about like tryna have an entire ship’s hit box dodge all the bullets in a bullet hell...
Just to add onto myself, why would Nintendo make an undodgeable attack in a game which isn’t M&L: BIS?
I love Splatoon but every time I think about going competitive I get nervous cause I feel like I'm too old to do it. But after watching this video, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to attempt to get to Rank X and see what happens from there
Nah you're never too old.
Youre never too old to play splatoon competitive
I always feel like I'm too young, and I'll bring my team down somehow, even though I've been playing Splatoon 1 and 2 for 2 years now.
@@swordbunni age doesnt matter in the competitive sense, no worries
It’s so disappointing playing rank battle and getting so many wins in a row, then stop playing for a day and all of a sudden I lose 2 ranks. I just got to S+ and now back to S rank. Thanks for the tips, this really helped a lot.
@@defnotjef111yearsago3 Well said.
The most useful video I've seen in ages! Thank you for making content like this, I'm sure it will help many players.
Kaldemar holy shit kald wassup
@@pokefanover900000000 and coins to make character all
Most excellent information. It's refreshing to hear these points spoken from a solid splatoon 2 player. Maybe could you do a followup video of which perks suit a weapon class better and/or what load outs are more effective in specific game play modes?
OkieYoshi MD There are so many things to look into left, I can't promise I will make a guide for this topic but I will make more guides for sure!
Indeed! Thanks for the reply nonetheless (:
I watched this video a long time ago, maybe even years ago. I recently started playing on a competitive tf2 team. I saw this video again, and I can’t believe how much of it has stuck with me through this time. My entire method getting better at tf2 is just exactly this, even if I had forgotten about the video itself. Truly an incredible video, for more than just splatoon 2.
Glad it could even be useful for other games! :)
Everything you said was great life advice in general. Wish more people in the world had ur mentality
"Good things come to those who work hard"
That's truer than the original quote!
Always when i get bodied i always die everytime i only shoot a shot if ink but i don't care, it's good practice and sometimes i even get 1 or 2 kills. I have 1000+ splatoon 2 play hours most used to just normally play and get better at the game without watching any videos on how to get better. I basically just played and played and now in ranked i get 15 up to 20 kills per round! Thank you for this video, i will try to follow these tips even tho my online just expired, will train offline in octo expansion for example or trying out combos
Bro this guy is skilled at lots of front-line weapons. It feels satisfiying getting lots of kills constantly
Still to this day, this guide remains one of the bests out there and is fully applicable to Splatoon 3. For the longest time I never had a TH-cam channel so I never got the opportunity to thank you for everything you did for the community as well as myself. So thank you, thank you so much for everything and we hope to see you around in the future :) Take care of yourself Wadsm ❤️
Hey thanks so much for this video! I hear all of these tips from top players all the time, but never all within one place. The persistence and time dedication really spoke to me, especially from someone who I look up to a lot 😅 Probably the best competitive video I’ve ever seen!
It's encouraging to hear someone say this who has been in competitive play. Whenever I watch Smash guides I always come away with the feeling of "maybe I'm not good enough and that's why I keep losing" when in reality the best players just play a shit ton, focus on specific areas of improvement, and not getting down on yourself when you keep losing... That's pretty basic and very helpful but I've never heard anyone say it
I use the octoling levels and octo canyon in general to train with every hero weapon which helps me learn how to become good with different weapons
I developed a growth mindset about Splatoon after watching this, you gave me determination to get better, I've also found the weapon I'm best with, the Tri Slosher! Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
TRI SLOSHER GANG
I’m good at the game my aim is just horrendous lmao 😂. U could be right in front of me and imma shoot to my left
Nah man, you were just trying to predict your opponent's movement.So, sometimes it will work.
this video also acts as an "I'm gonna train and get better!" kind of boost for when i get my everywhere kicked and feel like i cant go any further for me. thanks a ton fam
The squid samus thing at the end gives me chills
Thanks, I am pretty good at this game, but the lack of being able to train offline and me not having much access to internet is really holding me back and I feel like this video really helps me to be even better at the game.
"Spend time training"
Me: No!
Yes!
@@lorettabes4553 girl
I just watched the Nintendo splatoon world final for 2018 with your team from Germany and I was amazed by how you wiped out the entire team with your bucket and then I found your channel, crazy! Huge fan, I hope to be kick ass like you one day :)
I'M ONLY A KID BUT I WANNA BE THAT GOOD.
I'm decent, I guess. A-, A or A+ in modes...
Everyone has the potential to improve. Sorry for replying to this after two fucking years but,,
I went from stuck in A- and I practiced a lot, reaching S+ in all modes. I’m even X rank in some (clam blitz was the most treacherous), by watching this video. You got this :>
I love this video! I always find myself telling myself that I’ll never be good at this game, mostly because I don’t learn from my mistakes; I just get pissed off. Now, after watching this video, I’m inspired to play Splatoon 2 more, and I’m going to kick butt
Glad it could help!
I want to complete hero mode, use my Callie amiibo to get the items, then ima git gud and change my name to, “your inner agent 3,” from the octo expansion
But I need to git gud. I remember like 2-3 years ago when it came out my dad and I played so much together
This is not only helpful for splatoon, most of these tips are like life lessons that can apply to anything. You just helped me a lot with my PhD
This is way I main carbon roller. I like a challenge. I'm getting better. I'm learned its ok to back off. I have to get better on my fling aim. I'm still playing around the sensitivity options.
I do get mad when I drop from S+ to A+ because I don't go up against better people. And I feel guilty for splating them. A+ was really hard for me before.
As a carbon roller I can't afford to play aimlessly.
I do send friend requests to people that kick my butt. So I can get better. And I do hang longer in a lobby if a lot of good player are in it.
But I can see carbon roller would suck in a competitive environment. I like using the carbon roller because some people really dislike being splated by one.
I play at rank X and carbon roller is my secondary main. Inkbrush is my #1 main wepaon and carbon roller is next. Don't underestimate the power of carbon! It's hard to master but it works once you do.
I'm a carbon main too! It's nice to meet another :3. Also, as an X rank carbon main I know that it has such a high potential. Keep going!!!
Finally someone who explains how to work on their carrier and being better at the game, especially since there are so much players just giving up the game. This clearly is what the community needed. Great video, definitely worth a follow. Good job.
Are you the Wadsm from the World Champions Chip... omg. Your Gameplay was Godlike... 0.o
Thx for this Tips. I play with the Clash Blaster because my aim is bad and i like the curling bombs. ^^" But jeah. I never seen good Splatoon Players with it... ^^"
What do you think about the Clash Blaster?
Good at low Level but if you are planning to get into competitive you should drop it and Go for more Meta weapons and with enough practice your aim will get better👌
Basic Name im A+ and S. Thx
If you wish to play Clash competitive like my captain does, use it as a support weapon. Always be with someone and engage enemy squids 2v1. Clash is good for chip damage and places with a lot of hallways and closed spaces. It does suffer greatly from its bad damage output and range, so not a lot of people play it. But if you can use the weapons effectively and make it work in your gameplay style, then go for it!
Schubi Can be a reasonable pick on 1-2 maps but unfortunately there are better options in the game :/
Wadsm Okay. Thx
This video is amazing! Every single tip in it really helped. Especially the "watch others" segment. I picked up the strategy of dipping in and out of ink repeatedly while strafing and shooting opponents to confuse them and splat them effectively. This game is so unique and I absolutely adore it
War echt ein super hilfreiches Video. Danke 😁
I forgot about splatoon for most of last year, I focused on smash odessey and Mario kart. I’m gonna get better at splatoon again, thanks for the great advice!
Thank you so much !
This video is so useful ^^ !
You're the best teatcher ;)
I really like this video, everytime I feel powerless or think I'm not good enough for my team, I watch this video.
This video encourages me
Great video, wadsm! Many valid points, and I agree with everything you said. 👍🏻 One can tell you put a lot of effort into this video. I will make sure to remember what you said, especially about practicing e.g. sub strafing in the dummy room... C: (I keep throwing random bombs!)
And I keep on never really using my specials... and doing stupid stuff with my bombs.
One. Wow. These points helped so much. Two. This helped me not be afraid to play solo queue, because I used to be afraid of losing my rank. Three. Keep making these videos. There amazing.
step 1: equip tri slosher
step 2: done
Holy crap, 90% of this video was information I needed to hear. Stuff about practicing I already know, and I’ve been working on, but training and things about practicing in the training room with sub strafing and stuff? I really don’t know why I didn’t think of that. There are a TON of amazing points you pointed out so I’m super glad you talked about them, and thanks again for the video! I subbed to you, so keep up the good work!
The whole videos overview: play splatoon like it’s a sport and you can get good the same way you get good at sports
I play and practice my aim and skills really hard whenever I feel like it. Now I think I've gotten really good at the game thanks to all that practicing, and me playing through Octo Expansion 100%. My aim is really good most of the time.
When I play online and I get salty/mad because of losing too much, I take a nice break, before I come back and try again.
What should I do if I am put on teams who don't do the objective, don't paint, and don't kill? I get cracks everytime I lose in Splat Zones, and my rank went from S to A because I got 20+ kills and 1500p+. I have been on teams, watched gameplay, etc. My ranks are all over the place from A- to S+. Also, nice tips.
Drew D. Well you just gotta stick to the game you're meant to play with your weapon. If you're a slayer stick to killing opponents and hope others do their job. If you play backliners it's of course your job to push the objective, but then it's up to others to kill stuff. Get me one thing straight: you're not losing because of your teammates. There might be matches where it seems that way but in the end it evens out.
The reason why your video is so strong is because this is a more generalized advice video for the competitive mindset for video games, and maybe even for yourself as a person as well. Fantastic points, sempai.
Thanks! Yeah you can apply it to a lot more but you gotta start somewhere!
you kind of sound like the guy from the "laws of power" videos
The last tip is my favorite, I used to complain a lot but when I closed my mouth and opened and focused my mind I improved in whatever I wanted. Complaining all of the time is truly a hindrance.
"If you die then give up the match"
Omw to get banned for throwing matches
I was really discouraged after needing to disband my team earlier this year. I just stumbled upon this video and I feel that urge to get back on my feet again! I don't really have the time to commit anywhere between 8 to 16 hours a day like I used to being 25, but I really want to get better. Out of all this, I especially need to work on not complaining. Dualies drive me up the wall and have since release. Maybe I'm not getting better against them because of my hatred towards them. I don't know for sure, but thank you.
Where can I watch these tournaments you mentioned in the beginning?
Mostly streamed on twitch on weekends.
I started splatoon 2 in late April and this game is so damn fun! But I’ve wanted to get better so I did everything srb2dude said to switch to motion controls, I bought a pro controller, land adapter, new hdmi, cat 8 lab cable, monitor and even a gaming chair. I changed all the needed settings and after 3 weeks I’ve moved up from A+/S+ to S+1/2. Thank you for this playlist, I’m confident this will really improve my game
You're all set! Next stop: Rank X :)
you slowly start sounding like a work out trainer.
The “taking a break” part is so true. There are so many levels in games (including hero mode in Splatoon 2) that I couldn’t get past no matter how hard I tried, so I put the game down for a little, came back, and understood what I was doing wrong, and got past it. Taking breaking is healthy, and can help you in game.
How am I supposed to get a team if I am 12 years old nobody wants me I am too young
Same..
Shamy Shrimp hey um wanna join mine I got one now wanna join it? We have 5 members and need a 6th final member I created the team so wanna join it?
@@omran9872 Thanks but I'm good lol I'm not that good anyway
Shamy Shrimp what are your ranks?
This is so true, 3:58 I improved a lot by watching other people's game and especially when I die.
Does anyone realize that the thumbnail has a female inkling with a muscular body without anything covering it? I may be looking to much into this but isn't that kinda I L L E G A L?
There aren't any nipples, so it probably won't be flagged
Dude it means the F word I saw it in a video
I searched this after watching the championship ship again. I really want to be able to get into a tournament one day, and I feel like this was very, very helpful. Thank you for your help, and for inspiring me!
Glad I could help!
I’m a few hundred hours into the game and have a long way to go before I’m good, but this video seems very helpful. Thanks. Also, that 3-football clam blitz delivery in the championships gave me the chills it was so amazing!
Haha seems like that's what most people remember me for, but glad you liked the WC!
Most of these tips can be applied to life in general too. Nice video.
I know I’m a bit late but I seriously thank you for the information, I went from an 1800-1900 x rank player to an average of 2100
the best life advice ever, now i’m ready for my ap exam
On top of the persistence is key, a break can be good as well as sometimes your mind has too much muscle memory of repeating habits that could make you preform worse than you can actually do.
Amazing. I just began with Splatoon 2. I can't stop playing..Thanks for the info
I knew as soon as I heard the Xenoblade Chronicles music that it was gonna be a good video.
Great video! I've been away from the game for almost 3 months because I was working double shifts, and now that I have free time at night again I was kind of unmotivated to come back since I'll most likely suck after not playing for so long. But watching this made me miss the game like crazy! I'll totally play some matches tonight and have fun even if I suck lol.
This video is pure gold omg
This is probably the most informative and helpful video I’ve ever seen about splatoon
The reflecting tip really works. Also dont become salty or whatever just take it as a learning experience!!! I genuinely became a lot better with the octobrush
I've been looking for a good guide on this game and ways to improve, and I'm glad I did. My big issue areas are positioning, knowing when or when not to engage an enemy, or finding a good weapon or style to use. I've mostly found that I like to be a Backliner with weapons like splatlings or chargers, and frontliner/slayer with octobrush, ttek, and other stuff. I also am on a team who is very new and are taking our time to prepare and practice. We entered into SqSS today, and lost, but it was great being able to play against so many good teams and notice our trouble areas when playing
Thanks so much Wadsm! It helped out a ton!
Glad I could help! Competing in SqSS will defintitely help eben if it feels a bit overwhelming at first. Actually positioning and knowing when to engage and disengage are good topics for another video. I will keep them in mind!
I play splatoon everyday and time and I never get better.. I tried so hard but I'll always be at the same spot in my entire Splatoon life. I love the video
I’ve had this game for 3 years and I am learning from this video that has came out 2 years ago.
I'm really happy that you made this video! I was feeling really depressed cause when I reached lvl 25 I started getting put in harder matches, but this is making me realize it was probably for the better. It'll help me learn my weaknesses and help me adapt to using the brush in new ways!
Bruh
I came here to get some tips to cus i wanted to get back into splatoon 2 cus i got hyped of 3. And i left with some great life advice and feeling inspired and honestly... hopeful. Thanks mate
You're welcome :)
Just started streaming Splatoon 2, one of the best experiences I've had as a content creator so far! Can't get enough of this game :)
That Taking A Day Off Advice Really Helped Me Out A Lot Thanks ^^
I love all the effort you put in your streams and videos lately! I'm happy you found what you're looking for in the scene again! 😊
Wanna improve your 1v1 confrontations?
-Keep fighting the hero within over and over again in the Octo Expansion-
Ok, so basically for now, I'm gonna start playing a shit ton of splatoon and see if I like this.
Splatoon is the only game I've come even close to wanting to play competitively. I've played other comp games like smash, cs:go and stuff but it never felt... fun enough? But I love playing splatoon and have since I got the original on day 1 and 2 a couple weeks or days after launch, but I gave neither a good amount of time.
When playing both I always found the game fun even when I lose, I just care less about losses than in other games. I think it might be because of the short game length. Splatoon is also the only comp game series that I feel I was already naturally better at playing, I'm not really too sure of my skillset, but I usually get close to the top or first place, but I always want to play more when I see people that completely decide the result by being on the opposite team vs another team. I guess this is where watching your gameplay and improving on your habits and knowing your advantages and disadvantages comes to play.
Anyways, I hope nobody had to read that. I'm very tired so I'm going to shower and go to sleep and so that another couple times until the weekend when I will get my splatoon 2 cart back from my friend who I lent it to. He also borrowed smash. He's kinda good at smash. I can't play against anything better than a level 6 cpu and I never want to.
I don't know why I'm rambling so much especially considering nobody is gonna see this. I'm just tired.
I read it :) and i feel you. I played lots of comp games. Mostly cs go, league of legends and rocket league. I just got a switch and splatoon 2. I know this is fairly old at the moment but god this game is so much fun. I love the concept. But losing a match is not as bad as in most other games.
@@chromaticperception yeah, in CS:GO I have about 30 hours and most of that time I felt way less satisfied than when I play splatoon even when I was doing well and I would say a losing match in splat is more fun than a winning one in CS.
In my case - I’ve decided to “Retire”, I only play Leisurely now - not only for bad match-ups/cold match-ups… everyone else has a Better Chance to get X Rank than I do and ever would.
Not only that, Life’s Challenges getting in the way. Me working nights - I have to sacrifice my Road to Competitive Gaming just to make ends meet, and to maybe try to focus on something else.
X Rank was only a Vision, but as an Action… it was not meant to be.
Everyone else… Good Luck.
My friend and I often have 1v1 "deathmatches" (custom game mode) usually just to have fun but it also helps us improve. I can't play normal battles or practice much since I have to play on my limited hotspot (hopefully I'm getting wifi soon) and I'm overall pretty bad. So my friend usually says he'll go easy on me. and every time I'll deny him saying "If you go easy on me I'll never learn." glad to see I'm in the right mindset. Thanks for the tips, they're gonna help me a lot.
Not only i have to train, i have to trian myself to get a new mindset, thanks for this advice
Probably the best splatoon guide I've ever seen. Great job wadsm keep it up!
About testing weapons here is some advice for people who want to get good at different types!
So practice with one type for a while then when you are good move on (also i think its important to have times when you dont practice so use that time with weapins specials and subs you are good with so you dont get rusty)
This video is amazing and goes in detail about what to do great video!
I've started playing not even a week ago. I've played at least a hour a day and I can see I'm improving a lot. Also I only watched one video to learn how to play and did better than most other people. Hey I'm level 17 in under a week!
This was really good. I'm still in S+ right now, so I'm far away from a top player and I recently realized I do not have the time to devote to become really good at the game. But if I did, this would be an excellent guide. I am so impressed with splatoon's community. I wish I was like 15 or something and I could devote more time to it... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this guide.
The only thing i really get mad about/complain about, are when my teammates do really dumb things, like run head first into the oppising team with just the rain maker, and no teammates to back them up, or bringing an arrowspray into any modes other than splat zones and turf war
I took a 1month and a bit break and I love jumping into the new meta for the first time!
Thanks for the tips man, Really appreciate it.
Thanks I will use this to improve my drumming
This advice is so good and genuine that it can be applied to a lot of shooters besides Splatoon.
You know what I can't confirmed that this worked but I will say one thin lot has reawoken my drive to play and get better o stopped caring recently but now I feel that urge to get better I feel very determined, thank you
Great video. This advice was some of the best because every other video is the same advice that is just about play style and not things like consistency, etc.
Alright, I tried to follow these rules. I overcame the most annoying weapons (clash blaster, *BOUNCY* squiffer, carbon roller, etc.) I've started to main the splat roller, because it's set is perfect for me, for I like to jump into action with a splashdown and get a squid-load of kills. Also, curling bombs are great because they make a path, and they can deal enough chip damage to get a distance kill with a vertical flick. I also tried to find good enemies, so i play at 4 : 12 A.M. so I can get the most advanced Japanese players. Yes, I get destroyed, but I learn from that. EQUIP NINJA SQUID IF GOING AGAINST プレーヤー AT NINETY-NINE STAR, WITH AN E-LITER. Other than that, I think that these tips are extremely helpful and I recommend them. I have now played for 500+ hours.
