I decided to leave this out of the video, but I'll say it here:

*Don't worry about your gear!!* Until you're amongst the greatest players on the planet, your gear won't be the reason you're losing. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with while you improve! Only once you feel like you're at the top of your game should you consider it a hindrance.

Thank you for watching!

@dantethespoon1087

I think another thing is to not get tilted at yourself. If all you feel is anger towards yourself for losing or making mistakes, it will make your mental plumet and think you'll never get good and you'll just give up on the game

@ophylias2107

the E liter bit got me. perfect professional tact through the entire video then a punch out of nowhere. Perfect.

@WafAAAAHHH

I used to have a “blame everyone but myself” mindset in Splatoon 2, and I was always losing, raging, and simply not having fun. Eventually, I learned to focus more on my own individual performance, and not let myself get unnecessarily tilted at everything. When Splatoon 3 came out, I started winning more and genuinely having fun. Mindset is a huge part of improvement!!!

@JustJoshinCH

Don't use your specials all at once! Stagger your specials to get full effectiveness out of each of them, and to displace enemies for longer. ie; using booyah bomb to stall and push back enemies, then use a crab tank further ahead to further push back and potentially kill opponents who are still caught off guard, all the while your team can move forwards, and put pressure onto enemies.

“Dying is the single worst thing you can do “ 
Me with an average death count of 15 in ranked games and also questioning how I’m S+0 lol 😅
But seriously dying is not good at all like said in the video you need pressure, only reason I have high deaths is because I’m aggressive and have lots of quick jump speed and respawn in my gear. I agree with most of the video , keep up the hard work !

@kotslegoats

dude i've watched so many of these "how to improve" or "how to get better" videos for splatoon, but this is the best one by far. you''re very straight to the point. i literally felt my brain grow x2 LOL,, thanks man!

@tiley4897

As a top 500 player, these are actually good tips! Good job!

@Kioko_spl

Focus on Positioning! I totally agree. Like for charger I often hear "I need better aim" but good positioning alone can extreamly pressure the enemys.

@andreesprz1316

This helped me a lot it let me realize that I do tunnel vision and zone out a lot and that I need to focus on only a few weapons instead of the full scale

@fantagreenchannel

This video has no reason to be this well-edited and have a good and convincing voice over, yet it does. Thank you so much! This helps me going throigh my current Splatoon burnout

@Daniiii_playsdatrumpet

I mean you 100% gotta stay calm, even while being ambushed, and remember these games are for FUN. Not competition

@DangerDurians

A big tip Ive found to help me, that you bring up
If a weapon or special seems to catch you out all the time
Try using that weapon/special, and see how enemies deal with you

@stix_spl

"Dying is the single worse thing to happen to you"

Tetras, inkbrush and splatanas: "are you sure about that"

@dangangalaxy9759

Phenomenal video, not just for Splatoon, but for improvement in general. I started improving a lot in Smash for instance when I realized the importance of exploiting your character’s strengths and your opponents weaknesses and not giving them what they want.

@OctagonalSquare

As an amateur, I made a video with tips for new players a few weeks back, and while I didn’t get as detailed, it’s really cool to see a pro say the same kinds of things. Makes me feel more assured that my tips are good

@pigenthusiast

I havent been able to keep up with the competition in splatoon due to me achieving higher ranks and this really helped me thanks

@Dead-Tired_Knight

I am struggling getting into S+ for the first time ever, thanks to your video I learned so many things about the mindset and now I will just keep trying and never give up. Thanks again, the video was very helpful.

@Whyisoliz

Got burnt out on 3 really fast as well bc the games basically the same as 2. Taking a break really does help and i found myself playing better by not playing at all ironically

@aauz

I just got into s+0, and unlocked x battles. played my placement matches and I think I won one. I got extremely tilted, worst I've felt about playing in a while.  my teammate had a similar experience the day before, and I immediately felt better. just remember that you aren't alone, whether you're on a comp team or not. there will always be someone who is feeling the same way. shoutout to suletta (my teammate), you're real one 🤝 good luck everyone!
