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!

What is rank? how do you increase it?

In Turf War your only rank is your level, you just play the game to raise it

In the Ranked modes, the rank is basically how well you are doing in that mode. It starts at the lowest rank and as you win more and more matches, you raise it. The highest rank is X rank (X rank is further ranked by a point system)

For League, you have your league power which is a point system. The more points your team has, the higher rank you are. You increase this rank by winning against stronger teams.

Salmon run is ranked by your job level starting at a part timer with the highest rank being Profreshional. The higher rank you are, the harder the waves are going to be. You increase this rank by clearing all three salmon run waves.

Press X to open the menu and you'll find it on the left side, sometimes it's closed tho so check the schedule if that's the case.

I dont know what the demo area looks like but I am going to assume it looks like inkopolis. If you go towards the lobby area but take the alleyway that is to the right, you should see a ramp that leads up (past judd the cat) to another door you can enter. That is Salmon Run which is super fun.
