I am by no means a Splatoon noob and also not a pro, but as someone with several hundred hours of playtime across both current Splatoon games, I do believe I'm experienced enough to claim that this video is indeed very informative and good for those who are just starting out.
@@user-rk9jg9ir6g All the online gamemodes requires an NSO subscription. The singleplayer campaign does not. I don't know if you need NSO to access the in-game shops. You don't really have much use for them if you can't play online, but it may be enough to be connected to the Internet to access them should you care for that.
I wish I found this when I was a beginner! It's the most informative, high quality guide I have ever seen. I wont hesitate showing this guide to my new friends ❤️
Absolutely phenomenal guide, incredibly informative and manages to be incredibly useful to newcomers. In particular I have to praise the audio mixing for being incredibly clear and well balanced, I especially love that the ending cut with the celebratory screaming was toned down significantly so that I wouldn't need to lower my volume temporarily. Hope to see more content in the future! I await your next video excitedly.
I think something you should mention is to totally test out the different sensitivity options for the right stick and motion controls. It really helps with making the game more accessible as it lets you find your preference and really helps for those that might find motion controls too difficult to use. Otherwise, this is a really good guide for new players.
Ty im getting a Nintendo for Christmas and i wanted to play splatoon 3 since it came out but never knew how to play this helped me alot and i cant wait to play!!
This was fantastic. So many guides are just one-take stream of consciousness narrations in the lobby. Having a structured script and relevant footage to reference makes this soooo much more helpful and useful.
I’m a average player that loves the game non competitively and competitively. you covered a lot more than most people could in 20 minutes! Great guide! Wish I had this when I started
Incredible guide! I was actually surprised this was the first guide in the channel, because you come off as very experienced in both writing AND editing.
i plan on jumping into splatoon with splatoon 3, and i was already hyped because of the weapon design, but now i have nothing to be worried about, thanks pro player cookie..
i am a (near) complete splatoon noob, and splatoon 3 is gonna be the first game in the series i pick up! just wanted to say that this video is super helpful for me :) the formatting is super nice, and i really like the way you explained all the weapons! short and sweet, but still in depth for each one! keep up the good work!! :D
@@deadweightnero i really want to but i never got a wii u (despite begging for one) and by the time i got a switch splatoon 3 was already announced and i decided to just wait
I've always had an interest in the series since the first game was announced, however, Splatoon 3 is the first entry that I'm going to be playing (Largely since I didn't have the consoles before, and being a minor meant I couldn't just go buy them)! After trying out the testfire, I definitely still need practice (Especially since I couldn't get motion controls down in a full 12 hours of straight gameplay), and was planning on doing the hero mode to get that down, before trying to get far in ranked matches (or anarchy matches as they're called in splatoon 3.)
Such detailed and clear explanation on gameplay and weapon class. I love how this game is Nintendo exclusive because I only enjoy playing this years on my switch 😂 I learned the hard way for Splatoon 2 and tbh, I don’t think I could even explain that well to anyone else like you did. Will definitely recommend this video guide to newcomers. Looking forward to future uploads!
Im getting splatoon 3 for my birthday, and this is helpful. I will probably use the stick view controls, i have used motion controls before, its very hard for me
Thank you so much for this, I was terrified for the splatfest world premiere because I don't want to let my team down, especially if we end up with just 2 players on the tricolour section!
I've played the story of every splatoon game, had a great time 100%ing Splat 3's story mode this past weekend, but I've always been bad at multiplayer. This video was really helpful on knowing what roles different weapons play, thank you!
Not only does this help those that are new to the games but secondly it is also perfectly formatted to be used to show those who are skeptical of or are on the fence about whether to get invested in the series what the game is like to help them make their decision. Amazing guide!
Thank you! I just started with Splatoon 3 and it is my first ever game where you have to react quickly (I used to play Animal Crossing exclusively). I must say the story mode is a lot of fun for a complete gaming noob and some levels are pretty challenging (most are a lot of fun though). But thank you for explaining some of the online game modes. There's just a lot and the Splatoon lingo is also quite unique. 😂😂😂😂
Great video! :) I used to play splatoon 2 back in 2018 and just got back into it a couple days ago when i saw they brought out Splatoon 3, this video was extremely helpful, i couldnt believe you only had 566 subs when i checked! The videos quality is great im sure you will grow in no time :) Keep it up
even though I have been playing splatoon for a long time I still watched this because it seemed interesting. this is a great and very informative video. Would reccomend if your thinking about getting a splatoon game.
I'm very excited to buy Splatoon 3 as soon as I can! I've been curious about this game for a while so I decided to make some research. Thank you for this!
One big thing he missed was the clothes branding. Based on the brand of your gear effects how often you will gain a specific clothing slot ability. They are also setup to never gain some slot abilities too. This is used to help you grind for specific abilities on clothes ... so use those Drink Tickets wisely. Drink Tickets can be received from Salmon Run or the Campaign.
I was looking for beginner guides for some of my friends, and then I found this video, and heard “Australian competitive splatoon player” and I was like, new favourite RUclipsr 💀
Using your special will automatically give you a free ink refill. So if you have a quick special like tenta missiles and are out of ink, you can use it as a quick way to refill your ink instantly why you're in a pinch.
Thanks, splatoon 3 is my first one that i got a few weeks ago and glad I watched until the end because I only played hero mode for the first week before jumping online. Came back for a refresher because I'm level 18 now and want to finally try ranked mode
I'm literally about to pick up Splatoon 3 in the mail today, I have never played one, but I have always been kinda interested, since I play a LOT of competitive games and shooters, and my stream chat has told me I should use the 3rd game as a opportunity to try it, play it, and get competitive! This info was just what I was looking for, now I know what I am jumping into, and what types of weapons I want to try. Great to hear it from a fellow Australian, that was just the icing on the cake to hear it from a local player who is big on the competitive scene! I can't wait to dive in later today and get to practicing. I don't usually use gyro controls at all, I normally struggle to get used to them, but I will take your advice and actually try them this time around!
You forgot at least one *MASSIVE* and important thing; ability chunks. The gear system isn't doomed to total RNG; you can get ability chunks by resetting gear, and then use those chunks on empty gear slots to pick exactly the ability you want.
I haven't forgotten! You're right, ability chunks are quite crucial to play optimally! (I spent hundreds of hours grinding for my sets :P) However, I didn't think it was necessary for a complete beginner's guide. It would be more fitting to talk about ability chunks and grinding methods in a separate guide for players to seek out once they're no longer a beginner. But you're right, it was probably worth mentioning. Thank you very much for your comment!
@@coachcookie_ I only brought it up because talking about RNG, without mentioning the way to mitigate said RNG, could give newcomers the wrong impression.
This video has been really usefull to me. I didn't know anything about that game but planned to begin with Splatoon 3. Thank you very much for the video !
Technically not a noob, I did play splatoon 2 but not as extensively as most people who love the series. I never was sure of how I should've picked my weapons or gear so this guide really helped!
I've only played a smidgen of Splatoon 2 before the person I shared the cartridge had to separate due to reasons. This'll probably help me out A LOT! Thanks!
Starting with Splatoon 3, and noticed a lot of my skills from Destiny 2 and Warframe carry over. That said, your guide is still great for the different mechanics
Hey, just wanna say that this video was really well edited, scripted, and read. Of course, informative, as well. Very high quality video, and I was surprised you only have a few hundred subs - well, this video definitely earned a sub from me!
Thank you for making this guide! I thought not many people would be new to the Splatoon series, so no one would find it sensible to create a guide. But you did! a very up-to-date, informative explanations of the games intricacies. I first played Splatoon 2 in a Target store as a teen, but I never got the game. Nonetheless, I was hooked on it, I was so excited to see Splatoon 3 being announced and I am super stoked to play. My only question is: What is the purpose of the penalty in Clam Blitz and Splatzones. Is it to prevent one team from overtaking the match in one fell swoop? Great video!!
I'm very glad you enjoyed! The penalty score serves to punish a team for losing control of the objective *right* before they win off a push. In both Tower Control and Rainmaker, if an attacking team gets team wiped right before they win, the objective will end up moving very far backwards before they can try again, which both forces them to make another substantial push to win *and* rewards the defending team by giving them more room to breathe before they defend again. Under the same circumstances during SZ and CB, though, there's nothing stopping a team from coming in and instantly winning the game in only a few seconds. The penalty emulates that extra bit of effort needed to get your score back to where it was when you lost it. Sorry if this was a bit technical! Thank you very much for your question, and thank you for watching!! 😁
Simple and brief. This is the best beginner's guide of splatoon3. Tips is just what I wanted to know. Thanks! I was in trouble to find the one because there's no video like this in Japanese. Hope to see another guide for intermediate player.
A lot of people that I’ve tried to introduce to splatoon hate motion controls, and saying “just keep using them, they help like a lot.” Is true but it doesn’t make them understand. (not trying to be mean I literally couldn’t come up with how to explain it until a week ago) So why do they help? The reason is that it allows really REALLY precise aim. It’s the equivalent to a mouse for a pc gamer. Like imagine using the arrow keys or something to aim, not ideal right? Obviously you’d rather use the thing you can control precisely with your own hand movement. Have a nice day to anyone who saw this text wall and decided to read it :)
I always wanted to get into this shooter but I still don't know, as a heavily PC fps focus guy with quake, overwatch, valorant, rainbow six, hunt showdown, tarkov. Don't know how sweaty this game can be
This is a great guide although the part where you said unlike chargers to splatlings beings able to release charge early is a bit off, both can release early shots although charger will not 1 shot or have their farthest reach
I did catch that before I uploaded, but since Splatlings benefit way more from releasing their charge early, I thought it would be fine to leave as it is for a complete beginner's guide. Thank you very much for your feedback!!
I just got back from Splatfest 3 and noticed a bright red light above the ink tank to really let you know that you have a special to use or not. I checked this out and and never realized that was there this whole time. It's REALLY obvious this time around.
Thanks for this, I've never played a Splatoon game before but I'm excited to start with Splatoon 3. This beginner's guide is exactly what I needed.

Absolutely phenomenal guide, incredibly informative and manages to be incredibly useful to newcomers.
