One thing that gave Splatoon veterans a lot of trouble was the altered button layout. The old button for jump -- X -- was switched to B in Splatoon 2. Now X opens the map, which means people who were used to the old Splatoon controls fell down pits by accidentally opening the map instead of jumping like they meant to.
