  • Everything you need to know to become good in Splatoon 2!
    The lack of guides of top players in the scene motivated me to do an ultimative guide on how to improve as a player in this scene. I tried to squeeze as much information into the video as possible. I've spent a lot of days working on it to serve the topic justice so any feeback is welcomed! If you have further questions I might be able to answer them in the comments!

      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.

    • @doman2725
      @doman2725 Před 6 lety +38

      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

  • @corgikun2579
    @corgikun2579 Před 6 lety +65

    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

  • @Mr.Roboto_
    @Mr.Roboto_ Před 6 lety +151

    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...

    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.

      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!

    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.

    • @Wadsm
      @Wadsm  Před 6 lety +2

      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.

    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.

    • @a_bear
      @a_bear Před 6 lety +1

  • @spacemanspiff4777
    @spacemanspiff4777 Před 3 lety

    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

  • @JKingTheVA
    @JKingTheVA Před 6 lety

    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!
