This video is a lie all you need to say is “This way!” , “Ouch!” , and “Booyah!” *this message brought to you by Nintendo*
Honestly I still don't fully understand the point of "Ouch..." LOL
@@chillfactory9000 I use it to let my team know "hey, I'm down, the person who killed me is still a threat and near where I died" it's basically a free location callout, complete with a visual
And “Help!” in Salmon Run
@@chillfactory9000 I use it specifically for when someone is coming at us from behind and catches me off guard so my teammates get a bit of a warning to be able to react but people use it differently (some players say ouch after every death 💀)
@@cryptid-king I got in the habit of saying ouch after every death tbh lol
Me: oh boy a video about call outs and labeling in Splatoon.
Video: a fairly deep retrospective on how to treat other people with compassion.
This channel has had a running joke, "this is also dating advice" that started in the Finding Your Team video. I probably could have slipped a few of those in here. It would've been really on the nose talking about the praise to criticism ratio, one of those sources is explicitly about family relationships.
@@SquidSchooldo you think a psychology degree could give me a competitive advantage? i feel like im plateauing....
If you don't, you're throwing tbh@@ratofthecity6351
Idk why but the image of Pearl with headphones on and a controller playing like squid call of duty is both hilarious and adorable
the idea of doing callouts for splatoon sounds stressful, but then i remembered that i learned 70+ pages of police SOPs, roughly 50 10-codes, and countless hours of training....for a GTAV roleplay server. yeah, i think i got this. 😂
Hahaha go get em champ
0:28 Ok, I've only really seen pro valorent play in well-edited breakdowns explaining the strategy teams use after the fact. So seeing the sheer panic and chaos behind the scenes in this clip is hilarious.
Saw a clip with pro apex team messing around going “I need a FLATLINE” “I can’t get you one we don’t have one” “WELL FIND ONE”
@@lasagnatray7879classic HisWattson haha, honestly such a shame he's not in any team anymore
"keep the focus on your game, not on your ego" is actualy literal god tier advice. i do calls for my friends in stuff like splat and apex a lot and im usually good at not being a salty loser, but sometimes the frustration seeps in- i feel like this is a much needed mantra, not just for splatoon but for most team games. thank you!
eh...my "ego" does rely on winning, so maybe my teammates should play better when i'm constantly dying because of them not listening but hey you do you. :/ not like you'll be better than me...
@@vaniillazilla friend, i think this is a good example of why you need to set your ego aside. there's only so much communication you can do in a random match, but if you're on voice you need to consider exactly why you're not being listened to - noone wants to work with a leader who will blame all mistakes on them.
chemistry and good tone with your team will help you win, and short of that, at least you can try to have fun in the process. i sincerely hope you have a better time doing callouts in the future.
unlike what you assumed, i do communicate. don't doubt my skills and try to blame it on me bc i get stuck on a team with timmys, my dopamine relies on winning. i have to be good at something or otherwise i'm not good enough to be a human being.
no, i don't need a therapist as i believe that mental health"professionals" are a scam.@@azureforest
this isn't the only thing i took away from the video, but "your sister is ugly" goes so hard
thank you for this, I have autism and I'm very badly socially-inept so I've been very scared and put-off by social and competitive games. Splatoon is the one game I can play competitively because its simpler.
The role of callouts is to help you win. Callouts that don't help you win shouldn't be used
I've found with our teammates that discussing callouts after the game "this callouts didn't help, we should simplify/replace/stop using them". Remember that you're criticizing what people say and people tend to get emotional over that.
Also please especially if you're playing with a non-native speaker stick to a limited set of words
Recently was able to join a team and I REALLY needed this. This was fate. Yeah I agree with the way they say things like I had someone say “I don’t think Splatling is for you” kinda made a dent on my mood that day.
Yeah, that's a really hurtful thing of your teammate to say :/ You definitely deserve to be treated better
@@SquidSchool It wasn’t from my team that I recently joined I was playing league with some other players and I could tell that the guy was getting a bit tilted.
@@smidge742 yeah, red flag, avoid teaming with players who say stuff like that.
I understand their frustration but it is no excuse to put some one else down, you want to splatling you are allowed to play splatling!
@@k-bot187 Not to mention that if someone doesn’t play Splatling they can’t get better at it
"only the most hardcore of players learn how to socialise" serving up some "don't do drugs kids" vibes
I think even without the location callouts,
praise is just good in general.
The whole part about dealing with criticisms and tone of voice brought back memories of my junior and senior years of high school playing volleyball. When we’d mess up a play our coach would go “Really?! Really? in this harsh angry tone. And this would be during _practice_ mind you. Even got threatened with “running laps until we puked” (her words) during a tournament if we lost another game. We won (and got second in the tournament overall) but this video puts things into perspective that I never picked up on back then.
I think imma just chill in solo B Rank cuz I’m a filthy casual and have no friends lmao
Though I don’t mind getting better.
After going on a 4 mile run, feeling great, and having this video to learn how to properly make call outs has been great. Despite me putting 1000 hours into Overwatch and picking this game up again before splatoon 3, it's hard for me to stay calm under intense situations and try to not sound mean in my call outs directed towards my other teammates. Thank you for releasing this video! Since I am planning to start a splat 3 team with some people that have barley played any Splatoon, how should I approach those call outs as a S to S+ player? Hope you have a great rest of your day and next Friday cannot come soon enough and this channel will pop off when spalt 3 comes out!
Keep running, it's good for you! The big thing in Splatoon 3 will be learning the callouts on the new maps; if you haven't learned the returning Splat 1 and 2 maps already, that'll be a good memorization exercise to help get you caught up; I need to go learn the S1 maps myself, I got into the series in 2018, I've only played that game for 2 hours!
Spalt 3 lol.
Lack of patience is from the 1000 hrs of overwatch 😹
Accidentally dehydrated the grapes, hope you like raisins
This is acceptable
@@SquidSchool Accidentally dehydrated the raisins. Um. I have the bag the grapes were in still.
@@PygmentSplat You can keep that
I'm not interested in playing competitively, but the passion you have for the game really comes through in your videos and gets me excited to play another round
I forgot about that stamp play. It was super satisfying with everyone there. Also the WBG throwback. Good times. 👌🏻
Still one of the best special pushes I've ever been a part of, that was just a moment of brilliance.
@@SquidSchool shot calling Doovy tent for splat 3??? 👀
@@devvydoovy You're picking up tent??
@@SquidSchool it’s the one heavy weapon I struggle with most. Idk if I’ll fully take to it, but it’s been an idea. Since I do know how to be a distraction in games.
This is an excellent resource and covers much more than I ever expected. I was especially impressed by you bringing up that study related to the positive to negative feedback ratio. Awesome stuff
one thing i noticed in 3 with special coordination is big bubbler on tower control. the enemy team all had it, and kept popping them one after the other and made a massive push until our hydra put a stop to it with a booyah bomb
This is exactly the video I've been wanting
SAME! I searched it up and all the vids were meh but I love squid schools vids so hooray
Me too!
Usually my call outs are left mid and right since we are usually facing enemy spawn. I need to learn specific call outs for splat 3. I think im good at knowing when and what to call out such as what im doing and what they are doing but i am not good at team leadership for plays.
23:51 ITS THE VALORANT ACCENT LMAOOO
LOL I've never heard it called that, that's hilarious
It's pretty common among League of Legends players as well.
I feel like if you ever want to engage in a competitive scene in a game fast pace you'll need to mentally train yourself to multitask, which is easier said than done for some people.
Also, since i found Splatoon Stronghold and this channel ive learned a lot more stuff in depth that i didnt know before and questions that nobody asked being answered (like if Dynamo affects squid roll speed)
"Who Asked? (affectionate)"
As someone who's dippin into OW competitive, multitasking is essential as much as gamesense is. The games can get really chaotic
Booyah!
This Way!
Ouch!
I'm interested in breaking into the comp scene when splatoon 3 rolls around, but the number 1 thing that keeps me from doing it is the thought that I'm just not good enough. I'm x rank peaking at 2200 which while nothing special I think could be ok for a lower level team. I just don't know my level and don't want to play with people way better than me and proceed to disappoint. What would you say is the best way to find a team specifically for your level of play, and more specifically how could I gague my current skill to find out what level team I should look for? Love your videos, they've single handedly made splatoon a far better experience for me and I truly hope splatoon 3 brings nothing but the best for you.
I'm seeing all sorts of team recruitment posts looking for A rank players, like, you're more than qualified. I have a video on finding a team that's linked here, but to paraphrase it, you're looking for people who have the same goals that you do. Skill mismatch isn't even necessarily a bad thing; when I played for the Grillers, there were some players on that team who were considerably better than me, but they were more laid back and I was more ambitious, and it just so happened that we never had a problem. But being quad X opens a lot of doors for you, and it's just a matter of hunting through team recruitment posts on Discord and networking with people you've played with until you find an opportunity that feels really good. Everyone's going to be looking when Splatoon 3 comes out, there'll be no shortage of chances to play for you.
Thank you for the kind words!
Man, now I'm a little worried as an A ranker...
Like, sir, you have absolutely reached top-level play. YOU alone are absolutely NOT going to be the reason that a team loses.
@@sherbertshortkake6649 When I say top level, I'm talking about much stronger players than even me, usually at least 2800XP or of comparable mechanical skill to someone who's got there. The difference between 2200 and 2800 is very significant, and there is still a lot to learn at this player's level. That said, they're well past the point at which people start learning coordinated competitive play, and I think they won't have any problems finding a team just because of their rank.
i like playing competitively but im super low level
this has been one of the most positive and genuine videos I've seen on any competitive game, and you have no idea how much I appreciate that in a community (or even set of communities) rife with toxicity and huge egos
positivity even with randos goes a long way into improving the overall quality of the social culture in competitive games, or any community really, and i really appreciate your work
this has also been incredibly helpful to me, an autistic person who can't easily identify why people see my way of talking as negative or confrontational
Yes, this was a good surprise for me as well, usually competitive playing and empathy/positivity don't go hand in hand
God, I wish I could've sent this to the friends that I used to play competitive Counter-Strike GO with. The amount of psychological pressure due to how I was treated sure affected my mood and how I performed in a competitive setting. I was recommended your UA-cam channel, as a good resource to improve in Splatoon, but I wasn't expecting to run not only into good advice to improve as a Splatoon player, but as well how to take in things in a psychological level, that can be extrapolated to basically any other competitive game. Very little content I see in the nature of getting better at games touch these topics, and I can't but thank you for doing so. I wish I was told many of these things years ago.
Wow ok I am so glad this got randomly recommended. This is so well made and useful!
Leaving a boosting comment because this is really what the scene needs to encourage new squids and octos to get into competitive and not get discouraged!
this was a very nice video altogether, i learned a lot and it made me feel way less scared about playing competitively
also, having someone acknowledge that people on the other side of the screen have feelings and deserve respect for once makes me feel very warm and fuzzy
Really useful for starting comp teams, thank you so much for this
I was about to ask who the hell memorizes all the names of the locations of a map, then I realized I play echo VR and I've memorized boots, shoulders, nest, bowtie, nugget, Pac-Man, pellet, ghost...
I feel like callouts might be a bit better if your team know what North, South, East, and West is on the map. Left and right can be really confusing because of perspective.
You can shout "sniper on the left ledge!" and players will panic and look to their left, which leads to confusion, especially if there are multiple ledges involved.
Instead, you can shout something like "Sniper West Ledge!" and players will know to look to the hill on the west side of the map.
This will definitely be helpful! Thank you gem
this is a really good channel, i’ve already learned a lot from this video and i love the way you teach!
Thank you, I appreciate you saying so! Glad we could help!
As someone getting back into splatoon, I really needed this! Thanks!
Agh... so difficult... :( I'd love to have a Splat 3 team, but I have Asperger's and that makes it super difficult to remember a lot of information and then utilize it in a social setting. I'm quiet when I play (besides talking to myself) because I'm intimidated by everybody even though I've been playing since 2018... plus, I'm a girl, and I know this is a male-dominated competitive scene; guys like to scream and sound angry, and that makes me nervous. What do I do?! (sorry for the very specific scenario. Anybody can answer this)
Of all the competitive gaming communities, you're in the right one. It's more gender-diverse than any other esports community, and I know you'll find other neurodivergent players or people who will do their best to be understanding and make it work. That's not to say it'll be easy; navigating relationships with friends and teammates isn't easy for anyone. But if you're up front and honest about who you are and what you need and you can stomach a few people not understanding before you find the right ones, there's someone out there for you. Just say up front that you have X y and z problems in relationships, that you need a b and c kinds of support from people to get along with them, and then it's up to them whether they're willing to do those things for you. If anything new comes up that you didn't ask for at first, just bring it up right away. The best you can do right now is enough for you to be able to go out and find people that are good for you.
Hey look at that, another "this is also dating advice" moment
i’m making a semi casual team and if you’d want to join that’d be fun, lmk if you want
I'd reccommend looking into some of the lgbt+ discord servers for splatoon! There's quite a few, but most lgbt servers have a more even gender split and low tolerance for toxic players. You'll probably want to join a smaller server if you get intimidated by huge groups, but like I said, there's tons out there
I can relate to this. Been wishing to find a team of my own because I have not done competitive since splatoon 1. I have autism and adhd so I understand having trouble memorizing lots of details and putting it in social situations like teams. If you want a team member we could try being one together. We can start out slow on turf wars or salmon run to learn how each other plays and get used to each other then when both are comfortable and learn each others ways of doing things then maybe go into ranked. I'm a girl too so I get the boy thing. Or not, I am a random person in the youtube comments sections so I can understand if not. :)
for many months i was looking for videos like this , super helpful for players who want to get in :))))
I like this channel almost as much as I like you as a person. Keep up the good work, you're a real pillar of the community.
Thanks for the vid makes the game that much better
I love your videos, they've been a super big help as I've broken into the competitive scene over the last few months! One thing that I've had a problem with sometimes, though, is the music being a little bit too loud. I have ADHD and mild audio processing issues and when the music is too loud, it makes it difficult to understand what you're saying as the music competes with your voice. This is especially a problem with the music with lyrics, because it's a whole separate voice that I have to fight. It's not a super huge issue but it's something I do notice
I'm not sure, but maybe you can lower the volume of the music in the settings
When I play with my brother all a say is “clear jump” and “ I’m dead” then once while I say “gottem”
Awesome video, very useful with a touch of humanity and empathy, I dig it
Sick video! I subscribed! :)
My super jump callout with my friends is just "don't die"
Amazing video
I remember this one time me and my friend played Salmon Run with this guy. We played a game or two and then I asked how he thought of our gameplay. The one and only thing he said was, and I quote, "You two are about... Profresh 2 and Profresh 1 respectively" with absolutely zero elaboration on what that meant. We were all in EVP at the time.
Don't get me wrong the guy is really good at Salmon Run, he was on like EVP 500 or something if I'm remembering correctly. But... seriously?
0:27 smh should've put kyo saying "relax, relax, i'm solo raying the tower, i'm raying the tower" into zero turning into slenderman
Whoa whoa whoa slow down, I'm an old man, that's too many memes at once for me
24:03 This certainly send my sides flying.
Very informative however. It certainly taught me to just focus on myself if I solo queue or don't have VC with a group I'm in, no matter what. And that I need to learn the map vocabulary.
And while enriching, I wonder if I can even hande a stresser like having a team. My own bubble is comfy, secure and warm. Others bubbles are cold, spiky and smell from the inside.
"Man this team is so annoying and laggy"
Weak aura response:
"I know, right? I have my special but I doubt it'll even work"
Strong aura response:
"FUCK IT, WE BALL"
Me watching this video knowing damn well I won’t have anyone to call out to: *Oooo I should learn this when 3 comes out*
thank you
It's a silly callout by a favorite between my friends and I is just "House". It's one syllable and the tone tells a lot about what we're meaning
House (Panicked) - Oh god someone's gotten in base and I'm getting two v one'd someone HELP PLEASE-
House (Excited)/"HOME INVASION" - A little long but effectively "I've gotten into the base and am causing the enemy team issues."
House (Mild frustration) - "They got in again someone please help I don't have the range/dps for this."
It's a little chaotic because we're not competitive players we're just a bunch of people screwing around but I'm surprised how many of these kinds of callouts I've been using without thinking!
That thumbnail made me laugh so hard! Thanks for the advice!
It's important that you repeat all phrases 4 times within 1 second
cool vid thanks. Also appreciate your reference to Pearl's metal band \m/,
I would listen to their EP
2:16 Wow this is the first time i seen splatoon 2 weapons.
TALK!!!! THATS AMAZING!!!! :D
"Suicide" as a callout sounds like they are trying to meme the map lol
When you say the stuff about the goals and pushing objective last i normally just rush and it works out better because i find my opponents dont expect it to work, most times i find the only reason why i lose is because of lack of planning or by chance
"I find myself saying this even in solo queue" ME TOO. I mean, okay, I don't play pvp competitively, but I *do* play Salmon Run with people on voice, and the number of times I've announced a flyfish or been all "QUOTA, QUOTA, JUST STAY ALIVE" when the ink is flying hard in the last few seconds while in solo is almost embarrassing.
Really appreciate the content warning for the callout word that is often triggering!
I was able to make a decision based my mental state if I can watch that segment or if I should skip it instead, and without the warning on screen that wouldn't have been possible.
So again, thank you for that warning, it means a lot!
Love this thumbnail
I love the new intro, SO much.
Thanks to TheGaffe for that! He was the guy who taught me how to use Premiere for the How to Get Out of Ranked videos, does some cool stuff on Twitch with a game engine that he uses as a streaming platform with objects representing users that have physics and he can play with.
Great video Gem :D

Thanks! The ink pouring animation and sequence was made by TheGaffe, he does some really innovative stuff on Twitch.
Appreciate the timely effort on this video
(14:07) Note about the "their weak" callout. If your teamate hears that and gets to the opponent after they heal, thats your teammates fault. Everyone knows hp comes back quick in splatoon, dont act on "their weak" unless you are close enough for it to matter. You aren't "baiting your teammate", its their responsibility to determine if they can take advantage of a damaged player.
The fact that this vid only have 3.8k likes is sad. This man help so manny players...
...keep it going 👑
I never thought Id see valorant masters footage in a splatoon related video^^'
Ngl "@#$*$# dudes be #@$###&@ sleeping" is gonna be my call out for a wipeout
i just think it's really interesting because in my experience with splat2, the casual-player wide consensus was that you ink base and then charge forward, it was really rare i was matched with a team that skipped inking base or was up against a team that skipped it (at the beginning of the match). obviously it did happen, but it was just the fairly-normal way to play terf war; ink base to some degree, then charge forward. and then splatoon 3 launches, and suddenly it's completely flipped! everyone goes straight into trying to control mid, which makes a lot of sense, but it's just so bizarre how the general attitude about terf war changed SO quickly from 2 to 3. did anyone else notice this or was it just a me thing? i've changed my play style accordingly for splat 3, but the stark difference is still crazy to me! i cant help but wonder if it was because of the new way we spawn, able to control how far into the map we launch, which direction, etc.
i prefer "skip" or "shun" to "ignore." depending on accent "ignore" is 2-3 syllables.
ily squid school ❤❤❤
I feel like I would enjoy learning from this guy rather than my high school classes XD
What a nice dude..
It’s night time and I should be asleep. But I’m outside taking photos with the sound of coyotes getting shot in the distance and watching this. What am I doing with my life
i did not know squid warfare was this deep.
0:59 today we got a 10x match and went gamer mode with call outs and anytime in between saying 10 times. lol
23:50 you were right, it DOES sound silly, and I couldn't stop laughing for a good 5 minutes
Is there a list of S3 callouts anywhere? I haven't found anything standard yet
🍇 here’s your grapes, Gem
Watching this vid like I use any type of vc while playing splatoon
I hope this ges revised within a few months for splat 3 ofc
Yeah this is definitely for me right
Yeah I know this video was made for me but wait what people don't use Nintendo switch online
This video might have just given me the most important advice I've ever needed in my life. I get treated like a horrible team member throughout all of my life, and have trouble recognizing my tone of voice. The upward inflection might very well be monumental.
24:03 IM LOOSING IT
its so sweet finding other autistic players in the comments :) im just a casual player rn but its great to know there's a whole community of people like me if i decide to try anything competitive
i’ve played competitive shooters for YEARS and played them at a high level , and seeing all these steps for call outs seems so weird, i feel like the more u comm and build chemistry with your teammates, the more natural making calls feels. and when you play with a team for long enough you just know what to do for certain situations based of their comms
I hope that someday we can make are own solo q d pas callouts.
How do you learn how to do that inflection?
So dumb question but whats the easiest way to get both game audio and be able to talk to teammates. Just started really playing on a switch as ive been a pc player so i can just use discord there
I run my switch HDMI cable into a monitor, and then run an aux cable from the monitor's sound output to the pc's line-in (this would be the microphone input on the back of the pc). Then all of your sound will run through your pc. You might need to look up how to configure that microphone port as line-in if it doesn't do it automatically. I use a usb mic, which keeps the port free for this.
Maybe something I should look into
I've never been the biggest fan of learning callouts in maps but I still like to play a bit harder then casual and win more than I lose
So I end up doing the non descriptive call outs of: "Guy on mid" "High up mid" "Right side" "2 upcoming left"
Usually general direction, how many to look out for, and whatnot
god i wish there was an updated version of this vid, im struggling to find where to learn callouts
oh the irony of the sentinels clips.
i love gamer pearl lol
You know she'd be a COD player
Heh heh...cod
booyah booyah this way? this way booyah this way!
Is there a map callout guide for splatoon 3 yet?
24:02 Making this comment so I can find where this is in the video cuz it makes me laugh so much xD
Is there a specific minimum skill level you would recommend to get to before finding teams?
It's never too early to search for teams, solo-queuing versus team comps are very different skill sets and can both complement each other no matter what your rank is. There are certainly lower skill teams out there and they aren't difficult to find, though high-competitive focused servers and groups probably aren't the place you'll see most of them. It depends on what people are looking for in team callout posts, but I'm sure there will be something worth your time! (as for someone like me and others with social disabilities, groups tend to be off-putting and competitive play can get too intense to be fun. It might be better to queue up with partners before joining a group as it helps with communication -- just on a less stressful level)
@@emilybee6246 Thank you so much! This is really helpful
How do you go about doing callouts though? As far as I was aware, there isn’t an in-game voice chat system.
Discord! On top of creating a group DM and calling it, there are a bunch of public community Discord servers that will come with channels for players to use for pickup games, and steady teams will always make their own team server so they can set up voice chats how they want, create different roles so they can let subs and friends voice chat with them but keep private team communication to themselves, that sort of thing.
I want to build a team and use callouts like this. I will have a very different system to the standard one though.
I have a video called "finding your team" with tips for doing this if you're interested
I saw it already.
