I made it to S Rank. I'm not quite sure what to expect, except maybe an increase in skill levels of the other inklings. What I get is a huge increase in skill levels. Splatted by a charger through a tiny gap at the start of the map is unexpected.
But ...

Chargers versus Rollers and Gals. As we're on Camp Triggerfish, we probably ought to win this battle comfortably, as we should be able to control the crossing point at the middle of the map without too much trouble. It will only be the last minute of the battle when the ...

Note the pause after the Splatterscope charges. No one jumps in front of me this time, good. I get to my favoured perch and start with a splat! Then completely miss a relatively easy target.
Back to some splats and good self-preservation, and a decent shot from the ground up to ...

Low-level inklings abound in this Splatfest battle. Lucas is even 1st level! I make a note and try not to be mean, mostly to him, but in general.
Looks like I catch Lucas in my first Splat Bomb Rush, but I also get my intended target (and another inkling) and didn't ...

I dunno what possesses me to try a completely new weapon during the Splatfest. Maybe it was used against me effectively in an earlier battle. At least I take the Custom Hydra Splatling out to the range before taking it in to Turf War.
I think I can control the Hydra ...

I've been abusing the Splatterscope, so let's change weapons. On to the Splattershot Jr, another favourite of mine these days.
The Splattershot Jr naturally requires its own strategies. My normal tactic with shooters is to advance quickly, cross to the opponents' territory, and be a pest. But for the Splattershot Jr ...

Stop jumping in front of my charged Splatterscope, dammit. I would blame that faux pas for my not reaching the middle before the Splatling, but that's just silly and a little salty. It's no big deal really.
Neither's that first Killer Wail. To be honest, I could see it coming. The ...

Having swapped lobbies, I am now using the Splatterscope. A dodgy game followed by a couple of mediocre ones don't change my mind about weapon choice. I can make this work!
Camp Triggerfish comes up. I can cheese this map nicely, by bridging the centre gap with my charger. Maybe not ...

My Pokemon Blue Team was working out well, but one loss seems them scatter to the wind. I play another game but decide it's time to change weapons, so back out myself to do that.
I opt for the Dual Squelcher, to enjoy its range without needing to be quite so ...

Our little team is doing well, beating all the Team Red inklings pitted against us. I'm sticking with the Splash-o-Matic so that I can stick with this team.
What I'm noticing more about Blackbelly Skatepark in this Splatfest than I think I have before is how much the railings get in ...
