How To IMPROVE your AIM in Splatoon 3

Forcing yourself to use snipers will also help. It's the equivalent of throwing yourself in the deep end to learn how to swim, but it helped me improve quite a bit.

Step one: use motion controls

Man, the speed sensitivity is something else. I play with 4 and 4. I decided to try 5 and 5, and everything moved so freaking quick, it was insane.

15:51 something that helps me is 'centering the screen' on my target. As opposed to trying fix your crosshairs on the target, putting the opponent into the middle of the screen naturally makes your aim align!

The sensitivity being comfortable bit is really important, I'm ADHD and need things to be as fast as my thought process but my friend who gets motion sick easily can't even watch me play. You definitely should go with what's comfortable over what anyone else plays. That said it's also true there's a bit of a discrepancy for different ranges of weapons. If you like playing high sensitivity and find you struggle with backlining, try pulling your sensitivity down. Similarly, if you play low sensitivity and struggle with short range over longer range, try pushing up your sensitivity. For instance, when playing frontline and midline weapons I use +5/+5 sensitivity, (I main Splash o Matic and Dualie Squelchers respectively) I like having the freedom and speed. But for backline (I like playing Hydra/Heavy Splatling and Chargers on occasion) I use -3/-3. Otherwise I don't change up my sensitivity and I can really feel the difference when I forget to adjust my sensitivity between weapon swaps, so no matter what it is make sure you're staying consistent and feeling comfortable

I’m sure it’s minor compared to aim drills and motion > sticks, but knowing that bullet spread increases with each shot is so helpful to know and think about, especially in turf wars and while painting for special. Thanks for another great video!

The H-3 Nozzlenose is a pretty underrated shooter weapon.

For input delay, just remember the wise words of chuggaaconroy; "The switch isn't wired, the switch is weird."

As a casual player, I'm not really interested in drills and all that. In 1 and 2 I always had a problem of turning the controller too far when aiming but never thought to increase the sensitivity. In 3 I finally brought it up to 5 and it feels way better. I like to practice aim just by playing weapons that need aim. Stuff like tri stringer, 96, h3, explo, glooga, or any charger

Brings me back lol. I remember watching the guides for both splat 1&2.

One thing I learned about shot leading is most of the time, if you line up the moving enemy with the white lines on the edge of the cross hair, you'll more than likely hit the shots. Obviously depends on the speed and weapon but I've noticed this with most weapons.

To enable airplane mode on your switch, you have to undock the switch and enable it in either the settings under airplane mode or the quick settings by holding the HOME button. From there, you can go into your settings and enable individual connections (NFC, wi-fi, or bluetooth [controller connection is always on when docked for obvious reasons]).

Hey dude id really love it if you would do a video on how to approach backliners as a short range shooter as I struggle to get close enough without dying half the time. Also thanks for the consistent uploads.

As a noob player, I'm thankful for your tips and explanations! So motion control back on, first :S

was playing some turf matches and realized i needed some tips on aiming, WHAT A COINCIDENCE!! tysm for making this vid ❤️❤️

aim drills have definitely helped me get more comfortable with aiming. i'd been using the default sensitivities (-1 -1 i think?) even since the beginning of splatoon 2, and done okay, but since i started doing aim drills i've found that i prefer my sensitivity to be faster than that. it's a gradual process, testing a sensitivity, playing it a bunch, then adjusting it some more, but i've definitely noticed that tracking my opponents in matches has been getting easier in so many more scenarios

Definitely didn't know about or notice that bug for pressing Y. VERY HELPFUL

I also recommend playing the story mode with motion controls

watching this video taught me that Splatoon is actually even more real in the way they handle aiming than all other shooters wow.

i don’t have the game yet but i’m taking notes 🕵🏻
