"A person's negative emotions should not be seen as a source of entertainment."
...Brother, you just earned a sub for that (and for being a fellow Splatoon player willing to give advice)
yeah
came for the team advice, stayed for the dating advice
This video made me go and look for a team. That was four months ago, now I feel so at home on the team, my teammates all fun and nice people. I'm very glad i decided to try out, so thanks for inspiring me and giving away info on how to go about it! :)
AHHH SO WHOLESOME! Thanks for sharing, so happy you found them!
hows your team going keengoon
yea how’s it going
funny squid man tells me dating advice disguised as competitive play
I would play competitive but I can’t play on school days and I never 100% know when I’m available
That might be tricky to work around. Is this a rule imposed by your parents or just because school days are that busy for you?
If it's parents, it might be worth talking to them about why you think the experience is valuable. Parents do like it when their children are making friends and working to improve at something; they might be willing to make an exception for it. I'm sure they'll appreciate the maturity it took to come forward and negotiate about it, and the worst they can say is no!
@@SquidSchool My parents had that rule in place since Kindergarten and as school has gotten more complex and involved, the rule has actually become a benefit as opposed to a negative.
I wouldn't try and negotiate it with them after an incident a couple years ago where I went against that rule big time.
This is why anytime I've tried playing something with a team it was during the summer
@@jonathanlala4867 that's understandable. Good on you to recognize the value in their rules
Yeah i have school and usually an amount of homework. I rarely have a cut out schedule, but ive thought about join a team, similar to the main comment. Ive never been in a team and only played soloq. I have been looking to enter the competitive scene but i dont know how to enter. Any advice?
Love this video. I’d like to add a few thoughts.
1. Stick around. Many people form new teams with high expectations. Everyone thinks they’re improving, so surely their last team will be better than their new one. When this doesn’t happen, they immediately move on looking for something else. Be patient! It takes time to develop chemistry. The grass may seem greener on the other side, but there are not infinite teams out there. Assess the situation you’re in and don’t get discouraged by the first obstacle.
2. But don’t get stuck. Lots of players are on teams that have been together for ages and they aren’t happy. STOP DOING THIS. This is a game we play. Life is too short and this game’s lifespan is even shorter. Someday Splatoon will be dead and when that day comes, do you want to look back and say “I spent 3 years with a team that stagnated because I was too afraid to branch out and explore anything new”. Don’t waste your live voluntarily staying in situations you aren’t happy with.
What do I do if the team I'm in isn't active enough for practice?
@@sino8066 Either do pick up scrims with others or leave the team to find a new team that takes the game as seriously as you do.
After watching this video I realized my goals aren't what I thought they were, honestly I just want to use my Sploosh-o-Matic and be one of the best players in the world just to show everyone how good it can be.
I'm glad we were able to help you figure out what your goals are! There are lots of other great resources about goal-setting outside the context of Splatoon that I'd encourage you to look into. I'm a fan of the SMART criteria, myself.
sploosh o matic gang rise up
Its a personal issue, but ive been suffering from social anxiety for a while, it might stop me from trying to get into competitive properly, but this video helped me nonetheless :)
Glad we could help! I hope you find meaningful experiences with the game whether you go for it or not.
Did you ever manage to find a team?
@@RiahGreen I paused playing splatoon since splat3 came out cuz ive been preoccupied with valorant 😩 but I now have friends to play with together on that game its been great!! :D
@@xdsquids That's awesome!
I think my team fought you in a very small tournament once a few years ago. It was called Metro Battles, and Devy was the captain! we were Peanut Butter Squids and though we made it through the loser bracket, you wiped the floor with my barely practiced group of friends. I think you guys won the whole thing IIRC!
We've been doing tournaments for about 3 years now, so there are many many teams we've played and I won't remember everything, but good to see you again!
I’ll be that person who will become super nervous if I was accepted into a team for a scrim. Being nervous is one of my many flaws when it comes to gaming I be too focus on wanting to impress my team and not fail them I end up messing up rather it’s public or private. This video is really helpful to people who wishes to join/form a team in Splatoon. You just got a sub.
I found a team this summer after watching the video and reaching out. My Splatoon experience is so much different now. Playing in tournaments such as low ink are so much more fun than solo que.
Congratulations! Low Ink is a great event series, highly recommend it for any up and coming teams. Also check out Splatoon Amateur Circuit, Launchpoint, and LUTI, all great sources of good competitive matches for new teams that don't want to just get dropped into losers bracket by FTWin in Round 1.
@@SquidSchool launch point is pretty fun as well. Being on a team introduced me a whole lot of Splatoon stuff I was not aware of.
@@SquidSchool need a "how to get out of Launch Point" guide now😏
@@davidli9887 We're done after the top 500 video lol
Those servers are tricky because they're based on voting, so it's more important for other people to like you and think you're a good player than it is for you to be a good player. Networking is legitimately something I'd recommend for that, not that networking doesn't have its advantages anyway.
@@SquidSchool thanks for the tips! 😕You mean that's the last video of the channel?
I was on a team with my friends we ended it after one died and we went to different teams, but the amount of things we learned from each other made me a better player. I'm now solo we stay in touch to keep each other fresh but teams really do improve your gameplay and experience.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope life has been kind to you 🫂
Great video. I tried to start my own team from scratch and boy was that a mistake. No one was on the same page about goals and practices. Now I'm on a different team that is consistent and serious about improving!
I wouldn't say trying to start something is ever a mistake; the experience you get from failing often teaches you more about what you need to look for next time. Glad the story has a happy ending!
Hell yeah a new vid! :D Fantastic advice my dude, gj
Thank you!
Ive been playing since splat 1 but am not amazing. With splatoon 3 im setting up a competitive beginners team just for fun and this vids super helpful
Glad you found it helpful!
1:57 honestly one of the wisest things i've heard from a youtuber, good on you
2:03 omg hes so happi XD
Honestly great vid, I’m in school and I’ve been trying to get into comp, so the section on checking if it’s affecting ur grade and whatnot really helped. So thank you for the vid!
Honestly finding a comp team was probably one of the best decisions of my life.
Because after playing with them for a little while I have finally found people who I feel safe enough to be around without hiding my feelings or emotions.
The difference between my callouts with my team and with drafts or pickups is night and day.
I am much more quited when with pickups but as soon as I'm with my teammates that all just goes away and I start shouting freely callouts without second guessing myself or hesitating.
It it also brings out my emotions that are otherwise burried deep away inside hidden from anyone else.
And that's really freeing. And I can't thank them enough.
I've very recently got into competitive Splatoon and the teams I tried to make with already existing friends never ended well because they didn't have the same goals as me or the same commitment. I remember watching this video back when I was starting to gain interest and today, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and was able to find a team that had similar goals as me and were helpful and supportive in lots of ways! I do hope I'm able to stay with them for a while and we get along really well.
Left is the new right and vice versa. We didn’t know that already? 😏
Like I said before, still a great vid! ❤️😎😁
Great stuff as always!
Appreciate it!
I like to watch your vids and see the splatoon 2 tournaments from a couple years before to get better
1:07 whenever I see these colours In splatoon I cant unseen splatoon 3
Watching this video as a csgo global elite player, this has really helped me understand the friendliness of game communities.
Thank goodness for learning how to be patient with others
I actually did my part of being the Captain of a team for the first time ever. My first experience was a bit of a mixed bag - knowing what I would know, and as well as, I recruited two that actually had experience as a Captain.
One case was of being a Map Monitor - knowing what routes are being taken - or noticing weapons and their range on the map. Then having to see or direct the others during a match - communication is no longer a problem - except during play - I happen to be more focused that I forget to say what I’m doing or ask if someone can do another thing, at times.
It's important for everyone on the team to always be keeping an eye on the map, but it is nice, for example, to have someone whose job it is to check enemy gear before each round so you don't get 3 people talking over each other about it. Good luck getting your team together!
i think the whole earth should hear this video at a age they will under stand it
We're gonna need some translators
Came from Reddit and been needing this
Not sure why im watching this tbh lol
I just watched your rank up videos, but I really like your video formats.
I don't think I'm gonna join a team, most I've go a down this line is that I know someone in a team. Great video though!
Good vid definitely helped
Thank you!
Love your content!!!
Thank you!
Thx so much, I’ll use this
Gem!
Me!
Once you start dishing out blame, you stop being a team and start being a group of people playing together
I love this.
I love the drawings lol.
Those were made by the founder of Bravous, Scott Novis! He makes little illustrations like this for all his blog posts on www.scottnovis.com/blog and offered to pitch in for the project.
I've only played Splatoon 2 a couple months ago and I'm decent at the game I'm taking time to learn how to play motion control with split joycons but it's not been easy and I feel uncomfortable joining the discord until I know to play motion idk if me learning motion is holding me back from what I can and cannot do and idk if I'll ever improve but this video does give me somewhat hope for that s+ rank in all ranked game modes
If you want gameplay tips, our channel has a series on common mistakes players make at different levels of ranked that I think you'd get a lot out of! Good luck with the grind
Thank you
I thought the dating bit was a joke by no he’s right
1:53 putz
The famous dating advice meme
I'm curious- do you know if there's any competitive scene for salmon run? I'd love to put together a proper team for it since it's my favorite part of the game, but finding people has been tough
I have no problems playing Splatoon without wired internet. Like Wulff Den said, if you have crappy wifi, then you should look at the Ethernet adapter.
Some people's wi-fi works most of the time, but even then, a wired connection would still make things better.
I just want a team who has the same timezone so we can play league and get featured on the sploon twitter😳
There are big communities of people who play in North America, Europe, and Oceania; hopefully that gets you at least pretty close to your time zone!
i have decided to join a team due to this video, wish me luck :)
Man…
The whole talk about making a Team - and Cutting Off a Member or Two… reminds me of that Tabletop Board Game “Dead of Winter” - with the Option to… “Vote to Exile”, to Kick Them OUT of The Colony for suspicion of being a Betrayer or is the Betrayer - same as “Among Us”.
I actually want to build one, but I’m still alone - rethinking strategy, and I don’t know if I can make one fast enough before the next Tournament this weekend coming.
Also… that’s a Question, if I Build a Team, am I automatically The Captain? As in, I have to act as The Leader immediately? I prefer not to be yet, maybe I could be a First Officer? Or just a regular member?
In theory no, but in practice if you're the one who took the initiative to get it together in the first place, you're probably the one with the most leadership skills who's going to end up doing that stuff haha
The way I became a TO for the first time was that I made a Facebook event for a Smash tournament thinking that once we got there the experienced TOs would run it, but everyone saw my name on the event page and figured I was in charge. So I learned how to run a Smash tournament that day.
Good experience on a college application or resume tbh
1:36 you really called Putz out lmao
I use a Wi-Fi connection, and I usually have to rely on being inches away from the router (in a not too comfortable position) just for stability. I never knew about switch Ethernet adapters, and I would like to know a good place to get them and how to set it up without cutting off our Wi-Fi signal.
You'll need 2 pieces of equipment for a wired connection, the Switch "Wired LAN adapter" (the officially licensed one I've seen is made by HORI), and an ethernet cable long enough to reach your router.
The adapter plugs into your Switch, and then the cable goes from the adapter to the back of your router. You'll know it's working if you get a picture of a wire instead of the wi-fi icon in the upper right corner of the Switch main menu screen.
The only way it could interfere with your home's internet setup more than it already does in terms of the bandwidth it uses is if the router doesn't have any open plugs for the cable and you need to unplug something to use it.
@@SquidSchool Ahh i see, thank you.
@@desmo-ciel no problem!
I must become the strongest ink brush player
Do you think it would be a good idea for one or more teammates to have a pocket main with a completely different role from their primary as long as everyone agreed to it? Why or why not?
If they like it and are willing to practice it, sure. It's important not to spread yourself too thin, but there's some room for variety
My Nintendo account got hacked as I was watching this video and they changed the email to it so it's lost all of its online functionality because I can't sign back into it without knowing the email it was newly assigned to. I'm probably gonna make a new account exclusively for playing Splatoon 3, but all of the data on my old account was lost and I cannot play anything with an internet connection on it, but thankfully I'm still able to do online play with my old account so not all is lost quite yet. It's hard being optimistic in such a hard time, but hell if I'm gonna let the loss of a very valuable Nintendo account be the end of me.
I have a video console but a NOT STABLE AT ALL internet. I DCed like 6 times in a ranked session and almost lost my rank.
Are you playing on wifi or a wired connection?
Im playing wireless even though i would like to play wired. But the router is so far away from my room that its practically impossible getting a wired connection.
@@zeldadude6478 gotcha, yeah, there's a significant improvement in the stability of a wired connection for Switch games. That's the only thing I could think to suggest besides "get better internet 4head" (which isn't especially helpful)
Hey I am setting up a team to climb the ranks. Looking for a fellow front liner aswell as a mid range and long range teamates! I am fairly skilled at the Splattershot, Splattershot pro, and the splatterscope
i wish i could 😭😭
my parents are really strict abt online friends
That Putz12 person's whole content creation revolves around cursing and bashing Splatoon when he plays even if he is doing well or winning... Lol, it's the charm of his content creation and part of the humor and his style, not his actual feelings or emotions being shown. Haha
all my ranks are c.. c- to c+ but im nowhere near other peoples ranks who are just trying. I feel like I just want to have fun, but that rush of happiness when on a win streak is something im also looking for.
Im nervous about looking like some dumb little kid, with my horrible ranks. I dont play ranked for the lack of communication, cause most of the time the randomly generated teammates dont really work together. and when we do I cant really reach out to them after the game. so im stuck on what to do.
I think im decent on turf wars, but ranked is something that scares me to do alone. I play with real life friends every so often but they tend to be higher rank then I am.
I really dont know what to do, im scared people arent gonna like me or not take me seriously, and im scared I wont have fun.
Hey I am down to play with you. Trying to start a team and climb the ranks. My peak is A in tower constrol and I have good communication!
I just realised its an esport
It's not a huge one in business terms but it's got a lot going for it. It's the gold standard for inclusivity that every other esport should strive toward.
Wait... Is this the start of the dating advice gag?!?!?!
you found it
Me who isnt allowed to use discord, has no friends who play splatoon, and has no team league power: :')
League power resets every 2-hour rotation, it's not like ranked where your rank stays with you for a long time.
Sorry to hear it's so tough for you to find people who play. Maybe try looking into some Splatoon Twitch streams, if that's allowed?
Likely not. But thanks for making this video anyway :)
Is there any discord that searches for teams for 13+ and around S+ to low X levels
There won't be a specific Discord for those age ranges or ranks. Wherever you post, whether it's in Inkademy or the Splatoon Recruitment and Free Agency servers you'll just say what you're looking for in the post you make.
What are some good team names?
i know people try making references to things related to splatoon (or other things), but it’s honestly up to you! lmk what kind of things you’d like for a name and i can suggest things :)
Anyone wanna form a team? My friend and I are looking for some buds to play with, we don’t have any requirements, just be a cool person and you’re in
If im 10 and im decent at the game (S+o tower control) am I able to join a team?
Good question!
Some teams do look for players that are past a certain age, so don't expect that every team will want to play with someone so young. Don't hold it against anyone if they say no because of your age. It's honestly safer that way anyway! But if you can figure out your goals, maybe talk them through with your parents, and find some kids near your age, there's no reason you guys couldn't start trying to play competitively now.
It's a great experience that will teach you how to learn, how to be a leader, and how to communicate well with other people. Just make sure you're being good to your teammates and telling your parents about your interactions with strangers online.
@@SquidSchool Thank you for that advice, I will at least try to make a group or join one from the Inkademy discord server but I don't know if I'm going to get a group together but I'll try to make one thx anyways. :D also is it ok if I copy and paste a pictue of my IGN SW and etc
@@krintzay239 I'm confused, where are you copying the picture from and where are you pasting it? Pretty sure you can't drop image files in TH-cam comments
Hey would you want to try and make a team together? My peak is A plus and I plan on becoming the best frontliner I can be.
@@maxbrahler600 Sure mister
I loved this video, but I don't have friends...
There's always time to make new friends!
Me too man. Me too
@@splatboy7079 boom now you two are friends ez
@@SquidSchool I don't think it's as simple as that I haven't even talked to @kensa
@@splatboy7079 My point is that, online, it's easy to find new people to play with. There are tons of Discord servers and stream chats to look into!
I'm making another comment because I finally know what to say about the whole putz12 thing.
Although I won't deny there is some entertainment value in watching someone so self-unaware, arrogant, and childish routinely get what's coming to them, it's less about that and more about setting an example out of people like him. We don't laugh because we find it funny, we laugh to shame him because his behavior is unacceptable and we don't want it poisoning our community or the perception thereof.
People have tried being nice to him multiple times, and they've tried in earnest to teach him where he went wrong and how to be better. But he's shown time and time again he thinks he's above criticism and anyone who gives it is a troll. That means the only other option, like it or not, is to mock him. If he doesn't clean up his act, then he will continue to get that treatment until he runs away with his tail between his legs. Ironically enough, that is how it should be if we want to keep what makes this fanbase what it is. After all, we're not his friends or his therapists or his coaches, and we shouldn't feel obligated to act like we are.
Splatoon has a very inclusive and (usually) mature community, and it's exactly for that reason I must ask: why should I be tolerant of his behavior when he shows no tolerance towards anything other than what he deems as perfection, especially when he can't be bothered to reach those standards himself? Why should I be accepting of his presence in the community when he wants people he thinks are below his skill level to stop playing the game?
I know obsessing over him is unhealthy, and in theory it would be best to just not pay attention to people like him. However, that ignorance could just as easily signal more toxic people like him to take over the scene. After all, if no one is raising any objections to that behavior, then surely that means it's acceptable to act like that, right?
I just don't think this is a good response. You don't need to bully a player on his twitch stream because you want to send a message to other people that his behaviour isn't acceptable. He's... just kind of being angry on his twitch stream and blocking people on his switch. There isn't a voice chat for him to shout down at people. I would not know about putz if it weren't for people dunking on him and people on the internet aren't going to make him control his emotions better.
Social shame isn't a way to help someone overcome poor emotional control nor does it do anything for other people because you're making it "aren't you glad you aren't putz" rather than "don't be rude".
I don't care if a random guy I play with thinks I could be a bad player, it's not my business because I can't hear him nor do I seek out his possible opinion on me. Maybe if putz was yelling at people outside of his twitch stream (i.e. @ ing them on twitter) tolerance paradox would apply but even then you can just block rude people.
Splatoon isn't toxic but there's kind of a mean girl catty vibe I get from a lot of people which I'd say is significantly more pervasive than anything putz could do. Basically every other game with a voice chat is toxic for having voice chat, Splatoon doesn't have voice chat, so...
No
Now that i think about it, does the splatoon esports allow people who are diagnosed with ADHD by a docter
i know many neurodivergent people play comp, but I’d put it in a recruitment post!!
