Yes, but also

Roller: flick on ground vs flick while jumping changes the direction of the flick from horizontal to vertical.

For dualies: there is a buttan. use buttan.

I don't think we should nerdshame, learning about the differences in gyro implementation between Splatoon 1 and 2 is cool.

Are we only going to have the 4 or so weapons we have right now available in the splatfest? Cause that's unfortunate.

I think you can level up during the splatfest and get more stuff from the shops, but i'm not 100% sure. i just dont know why the shops would even be open to visit in the splatfest demo otherwise

If they are level gated in the full game they dont have to change each shops code for a demo if they just disable leveling.

I thought that was the case since we have to customize a character for the splatfest demo

I missed the testfires earlier in the year because I didn't have a Switch yet, did you have Inkopolis Square access then?

Testfires never gave you access, even on the Wii U. It was just tutorial and lobby.

Same. I spent 5 min learning the controls and forgot them 10 min later. If I manage to shoot ink during the first match on the 15th it will be a win

Supposedly, using the Pro controller in wired mode adds more lag than Bluetooth, yes really. Supposedly.

Worth mentioning that the demo's options menu seems to let you save your squid's loadout to an Amiibo though, so you might be able to preserve your pre-release self forever as a toy

Something that one goon wouldn't stop crying over every loving splatfest. Oh and it lets you reroll abilities on gear.

In Splat 1 some gear had 1 ability, some 2 and some 3. But some of the gear with 1 or 2 looked fresh, so you could use sea snails to give it more slots so it'd be on par with the 3 slot gear.

Now in Splat 2 abilities are more like gems from diablo, so I wonder if sea snails will also be used to remove or implant abilities as well.
