I Unlocked The BEST Gun in the Game! 

I cannot describe how happy this makes me This man was literally 90% of my childhood, and now that I've grown into a splatoon obsessed teen, seeing him make a splatoon video just brings me so much joy lol, very fresh

dan finally playing splatoon , who woulda thought this day would come 😭

i hope he does more splatoon videos lol, splatoon is extremely nostalgic and so is dantdm literally my entire childhood in one video

As a half-decent n-zap main, i have some tips to give. 1.) Zap is a very aggressive weapon. You need to go in fast and hit your shots. One thing that can help with this is using gyro controls. Although it is hard to get used to, the difference it makes in close quarters skirmishes is DIVINE. The sensitivity that I personally use is -5 and 0. 2.) Tacticooler (Your special) should primarily be used before large team battles. The run and swim speed boost are splattastic but the main upside is 1 SECOND respawn time, which indirectly allows for incredibly aggressive play. So yeah, tacticooler gud. 3.) Given that N-zap is such an aggressive, short-range weapon I usually play a flanky, fast playstyle and splatoon's amazing movement largly contributes to this playstyle. Besides that, I am so monumentally happy that a youtuber of your dignitas is now playing my favorite game, and is using my favourite weapon. Thank you, Daniel.

This is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to see Dan play Splatoon. Edit: yes I am aware that he played Splat 2 awhile ago I specifically meant Spat 3. Sorry :(

Will you do the story mode as a series ?

Dan playing splatoon is something I didn't know I want but instead I needed it

Hey Dan! I love that you are playing my all time fav shooter series, and I wanna give ya some tips since you seem to be having so much fun: Shoot a bit higher with shooters that way you can paint more with them. Ink base after you push in and do the initial fight, it's free special to build up later just in case. Turn on motion controls if you plan on playing longer term, they have a mouse level of aim control once you get past the initial learning curve. In general I hope yo see more from you, seeing people enjoy this series is awesome. :D

the irony in Dan trying to get the best weapon is that he probably already has it. The regular splattershot is a top-tier weapon lol

Nice to finally see Dan play Splatoon, I highly doubt that he'll make another video, but as a small tip of he does, it's better to use the Motion controls than the analog sticks

I’m so happy that your playing this Dan! I wanted to give you some tips to help a bit. I noticed in the beginning you were inking the ground directly, this is pretty time consuming and it’s better to fire in the middle of the screen, you will cover more turf more quickly by doing this, it also give you a advantage to attack your enemies when you get jumped. Also don’t be so persistent in inking every droplet of turf, ink the general area and leave the little missed bits, it’ll get covered later in combat, trust me! Love the video and please let me know if you saw this! ❤️

Oh my goodness it feels so strange to watch Dan again.. I'm happy he seems happy as ever!

Dan will always be legendary for all his hard work to post for us. I'm happy I'm able to support him! Hope you reach 30M soon, Dan!

I don't even play 80% of the games he posts about but I still watch anyway because quality content is quality content.

BRO KNEW THE VSHOT META WAS COMING

If you're planning on maining N-Zap, place the Tacticooler (your special) near your teammates, that way everyone of your teammates can get the stat boosts too.

This was fun to see. Glad you enjoyed it. Have any thoughts about story mode? EDIT: Nice triple shot by the way.

Dan please turn this in into a series! Would be amazing!

Dan is a LEGEND. Been watching for 8 years, seen you on tour 2017. Glad to see he's still uploading quality content! He was my favorite childhood RU-vidr, AND HE STILL IS.

8:05 “oh those sprinklers are really good” I never thought I’d ever hear this sentence Honestly after a recent buff they’re actually pretty decent

I've been waiting for a splatoon video for months, so this is so cool to see! Love your content! :)

Splatoon 3 most certainly did not dissapoint. It's so awesome

Meanwhile sloshing machine: Bro am I a joke to you?

PLEASE play more of this game!! Its my favorite and im obsessed with it

Splatoon is my favourite game and I can’t believe Dan is making a vid on it! Really hope this turns into a series!!

Let’s make this a series 🙏

This is something we wanted but never expected. With the Nzap, I would suggest high sensitivity, and putting the drink by your team. I used the Nzap a lot in September and I got top of the leaderboard with those 2 main things, hope ot helps, and I do not want to sound annoying or bossy...

Dan playing this game is always fun to watch! You did pretty well, my man! I'd love to see more splats from you in the future, especially with the Pokémon Splatfest coming in 2 weeks! If you play during the Splatfest, I hope you splat up the competition!!

My main advice as someone who's been playing this series since not too long after 2 came out is just go with what weapon you think works the best for you! My favourite is currently the Sloshing Machine!

Splatoon 3 is soooo dope. I was really hoping for you to do a video on it. Now it’s here 😃

8:14 “the swish swish” -Dan 2022

Dan! I loved this video you should definitely make more of these videos.

Watching Dan play Splatoon 3 is so surreal to me but I'm all for it 🐙

i didnt expect you to play splatoon 3 for a video but im here for it

Omg do more of this, this is my favorite game make this a series please

A tip for using the inkzooka (the special weapon on the splattershot): when you use it, there's some arrows on your screen that go forward and curve down, that shows you how the shots are going to arc, so you can use that to your advantage to try and hit better shots

Been wanting to play this for so long and i finally get to see pro gameplay😆

Heres a tip that I've learned over the years. When you're covering, you can put your cursor up more and just keep going left and right. This will cover more in less time.

Please play more of this game, I really enjoyed this video

plz continue this series! I'm probably gonna get this game for christmas and I really want my favorite youtuber to keep playing this!

watching dan play such a different way than I do was so funny

i swear, every time i watch one of dan's videos i get hit with a wave of nostalgia.

YOO!! I have been OBSESSED with splatoon lately, and have 115 hours. it made my day to see this video :)

I luv that dan still is making videos every vid make my day better!

I really hope he keeps playing!

So cool to see you playing Splatoon! Would be amazing if you played story mode, I think you'd really enjoy it!

It’s awesome to see a legend at work, and in Splatoon! Just watching you play makes my day! Hope you reach 30mil soon!

Please do more. This was very fun to watch.

Im so happy that Dan is playing Splatoon, It's one of my favorite games

The best weapon is the splash o matic

5:54 that was an autobomb! They chase you around but just keep moving until it leaves you be

I love this. Please play more Splatoon 3in the future. Also, even though it sounds counterintuitive, could you try not inking base at the start of the game? The reasoning is that it lets you get to the middle faster and gives you uncontested turf to charge your special with later on in the game.

This is what happens you you don't even play the story mode

We can all agree that Dan never disappoints us!

5:55 That, Dan was a version of the bomb that chases the closest enemy.

What a great video! Make more of these Dan these are awesome!

Honestly hope you play more Splatoon 3 a lot more than the other games, currently obsessed with it lol

Crazy to see how Dan's changed honestly raising 90% of his fans from young Tnx dan much love!❤

Me: I hope Dan plays splatoon again! Dan:SPLOOP!!!

It’s so cool that your playing splatoon 3 it has been all I have been playing right now. SO COOL! I hope you keep making videos of this game I would love to see more! 👍

Hey Dan, quick tips (that are not just telling you to switch to motion controls), when your player is facing the other way, for example, your character is looking at the camera, press the “y” button. This will cause your character to immediately snap where your character is facing. Get used to it.

I love your vids so much. Some RU-vidrs run out of creativity or just have some videos that aren't as good as usual, but you somehow never disappoint us. Considering he has a family to look after at the same time! I hope Asher and Jemma are good. Keep up the great work! 😁

Dan playing my favourite game, yes please! This was a great birthday present for me. I would love to see Dan play more Splatoon. Maybe try Hero Mode aswell?

daaaan, its the splash o matic! n zap kinda sucks! it has nothing special, its just there and not worth it in a team comp.

Top splatoon player cringing because back then nzap was not that good

ive been waiting for you to play 3 and i really hope you do more gameplay of splatoon 3 because its my fav switch game

Ok for turf war, what you do is go out and ink as much as you can, and then ink your spawn

The last video I watched of Dan was 11 months ago, which was his let's go pikachu series. Its nice to see that after all this time he still has so many supporters, he deserves every one of them.

Let's get Dan to 27M! I think he deserves it mostly! 💪 💪 💪

“Bro, you just got SPLATTED. Straight up.” - DanTDM, 2022

Dantdm I’m so happy you played one of my favorite games of all time and I’m just wanting to let you know you really should play the story mode since it’s a decent length probably could make 2-10 videos on the whole thing and I just wanted to tell you that I’m one of your biggest fan I may be young but I’ve been with this channel since around 2015 I’m praying you see this! I love you Dan The diamond minecart,your my hero

Noice woerrk

I never knew Dan played Splatoon! I hope you play more of this in the future (Also that last triple kill was insane! Great job)

Dan if you didn’t know with the dualies you can double press and aim joystick anyway and you will sidejump or front flip and it will help you’re movement when you’re in very risky battles

Lil tip for you Dan, if you ink in the air you can ink more than aiming at the floor

I hope you play this game more and make more videos about it. It was very entertaining to watch.

dan i am so happy to see you play this! its one of my fav games rn

PLEASE PLAY MORE OF THIS, THIS GAME IS AWESOMEEE!

Yeah you really figure out what you need to do that is an important part of splatoon keep it up

I love this so much. P.S. quick tip if u decide to continue playing, use motion controls (you don't have to) because it's a lot easier to aim with motion controls and you'll get much better aim once you get used to it (also please do story mode I'd love that even more)

This is my favorite game! Please keep playing! Maybe the story mode? Salmon run? Tableturf?

Dan i would love more!!! I love seeing childhood youtubers plsying games im currently into!! :D

dan playing my favorite game brings me endless joy

Watching Dan play learning everything is so cute

Seeing dan play splatoon is so entertaining. Hope we see more splatoon content

Dan casually claiming his own gun 11:50

i have loved dans vids ever since i can remember but i found recently he has been playing games that im not really that into but now he is playing splatoon 3, a game i have over 400h in, this is great i love it

Please play more of this game, I beg of you!

I wish he actually made more videos on it

Finally, splatoon! Hope u can make this a series dan :)

I havent got splat 3 yet but you playing and naming stuff just brings me joy XD

Here are some tips to get better at splatoon 3: 1: USE MOTION CONTROLS It’s difficult to get used to if you don’t play many games that use these, but you need this to be able to react and turn quickly 2: When inking, don’t aim at the ground. It decreases your painting ability and range. If you aim straight forward instead, the ink will fly further and then fall down, inking more. 3: USE YOUR SPECIAL 4: I can’t think of a fourth tip 5:Or a fifth 6: I just said, I’m out of tips. I guess, uh, watch videos by pro players and play the game I guess?

I never thought I’d see the day Dan played splatoon again…

Dan please do more, the guy who made my childhood special playing one of my favourite games ever would just be so cool as a series

Its cool to see Dan play Splatoon 3, as a fan of Splatoon and Dan seeing this makes me smile :)

Hay Dan i’m happy you’re playing Splatoon 3 and And I hope you do more videos on it 👍🏻

DAN, please play more of this!!

Been growing up with Dan for the past 8 years, the farthest back I can remember is that one video, with the pigs and the airships. I’ve gotten into this phase, kind of an obsession with Splatoon. It’s really nice to know that Dan has kinda grown up with me. I kinda wish there was an event going on around here, where I could meet him. Maybe when I make my own channel, I could possibly collab, if he would give me the chance. I told myself that at one point, if I could have one wish, it would be to play some Minecraft with Dan.

another great video. i hope you make a series of the story mode.

Tip(s): >Don’t aim at the ground aim straight in front of you, weapons nearly always paint everything between the end of their range and you >If you get spawn camped, grind for your special weapon to push back NEVER jump in combat unless your using the splash-o-magic or H3nozzlenose as jumping significantly decreases accuracy >You don’t get carried, everyone contributes, even as a distraction >Don’t be afraid to stand your ground >kills aren’t as important as Points in turf war
