Splatoon 2: List of all the removed and new abilities

The Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere demo version is now available on the eShop, and while you can’t actually play any matches you, you can run around Inkopolis Square and check out the game’s various menus. Among those is an overview of all of the abilities in the game, which means we now know for sure all of the new abilities – and all the abilities from the first game that have been removed. Here are all the abilities that have been removed:
