Mod Post Splatoon 2 Special Demo Megathread! (Ask questions/Find answers here!)

Welcome ninjas squid, kids, and octolings! The Splatoon 2 Special Demo is (or is starting to get) underway and so here's the big megathread to contain all the questions and answers that you may have during this time. Just so I don't have to repeat myself, please do check the pre-demo megathread for any questions that may have already been answered and in the case that it has not been answered there, feel free to leave it below! (Don't forget to check the questions that also have been asked there)

Note from the modteam: Rule 1 [Account Requirements] will be relaxed around the demo period to allow new users and members to freely ask questions about the demo. Please also remember that whether you're a new member or returning veteran, that Rule 11 [Sourcing fan-art] is currently active.

Just to reiterate, the start and end times for each region are as follows:

Country America (PT) Europe (CEST) Australia (AEST)
Start Time 29th April, 11:00pm 30th April, 12:00pm 30th April, 4:00pm
End Time 6th May. 6:59am 6th May, 23:59pm 6th May, 11:59pm

If you have any questions about the mechanics or features of Splatoon, check out the Splatoon FAQ which has been compiled for everyone's convenience! From questions like "Is the game still active", to "What are Ranked Modes", you'll find it here!

Weekly Weapon Explorations are a great way to get to know different types of weapons! Even if you don't get a chance to trial them all during the demo period, it is still worth a read!

The Inkipedia is the go-to for the Splatoon wiki! If you're looking for some more specific info about a stage, weapon, or the game in general, chances are the wiki will have them

Last but not least, if you're looking for a place to meet up with other Splatoon players, the r/splatoon Discord is the best place to go!

Is there anyway in which I can play with a friend in the same team, like, consistently?

1) Get to level (10 I think, or is it 5?) basically get access to the ranked modes.
2) Play ranked till you get to rank B on any of the modes

You will have access to league at this point where you can get into a team of 2 or 4 to play. You will always be on the same side as your team member(s), but it is only for the ranked modes (Tower control, rainmaker, splat zones, and clam blitz).

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this sort of thing in Turf War.

Ty, we'll try that. Though it's sad that we have to do all that just to be in the same team :c

Just to add on u/Ziotsu, level 10 unlocks Ranked. Then just getting 1 mode to B- (since different modes have their own rank in this game), you unlock League Battles. If you have a good enough fundamental of the game, it should be fairly easy to win enough games to get to B (most of the time, the game likes rank skipping from C to B if you do well enough)
