Mistakes were made in Rainmaker (7-9, Splatterscope)

11th February 2017 – 7.00 am

Two shots needed to hit a stationary inkling. Not my finest hour. At least the Splattershot splats me, not the Rainmaker shield, although I was hoping that my Splat Bomb Rush would explode the shield a bit quicker.

I somehow avoid the Kraken, despite my realising a bit late that there really is only one place I could be, what with it being the start of the battle and there being almost no ink around. Still, I count my blessings, and then my splats. That worked out quite well.

I support my advancing squidmates, which goes okay, but the Squiffer catches me around a corner to stop our shenanigans completely. Super-jumping back may not be the best idea, but there's a chance it will work, and the Rainmaker is close to the podium. It doesn't work.

I try to find a good place to provide support, but it seems to be a better place for the Luna Blaster. I then manage to activate my Splat Bomb Rush, hoping to clear a path before grabbing the Rainmaker, but grab the Rainmaker by mistake. I panic and make a beeline for not where I currently am, and get surprisingly far!

That Rainmaker carry went well, I think I'll give it another go. Oh, right, that inflatable is purposely in my way. Well, I can go under and over. Or I could, if I remembered to become a kid sooner. Slightly embarrassingly, I abandon my squidmates and head in the other direction, and it goes about as well as can be expected.

I redeem myself slightly with an excellent Rainmaker splat, even if me and the Inkzooka just toy with each other afterwards. As we enter extra time, I try to add my support, but fall through that same grate again, hilariously in to a Kraken. Not my best battle. Could do better. As a result, I drop out of S Rank once more.
