Also there isn’t any auto aim unlike just about any other console shooter.

Playing this game without motion is very rough unless you only use rollers.
the fact that the game does not have autoaim is itself an endorsement of how good the gyro controls are. it just isn't required for accurate aiming, flicks, etc.

by the by is ink resistance any good in this game? it seems obviously a lot weaker than splatoon 1 but I'm having trouble quantifying by how much.

The only bad octo expansion level is the one where you have to sink the 8-balls into holes to make a bingo with the cannon.

Yeah, until they randomly get bounced entirely off the level and make you lose when you shoot them out, 3 times in a row

actual easiest way to kill them is just holding down ZR with a roller and walking over them

they don't stop you from doing it and you don't even need to aim! :)

Well, you can squid around when you're got a second.

Anyone have tips for using the inkjet? I keep hearing it's good but I have only ever gotten one kill with the thing, it seems super finnicky to hit people with

Supply and demand. Nintendo lowered production of amiibo, so the usual market logic kicks in. That's why you should always buy the amiibo first day.
it's actually why you should buy the amiibo never

I wouldn’t mind seeing Off The Hook as the hosts again but it seems like too good of an opportunity to not introduce new hosts with each game.
it would be criminal to bring back squid sisters but not off the hook
