Hey, look: it's Eddie! No hard feelings from the last time I spotted him, I hope. We're on the same team this time, at least. Not that it seems to help. The other squids take control of the Splat Zones and use their range to keep hold of them.

Whatever we were doing in this battle, we were doing the right thing! Good turf control, I suppose, plus I managed to keep myself out of trouble for the most part.

I got to know Mahi Mahi Resort quite well during the previous Splatfest, helping with my situational awareness. Having a ...

I'm sure my squidmates are doing something, I just don't really know what.
Mind you, a pattern throughout the evening on Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones is seeing one team with the longer-range weapons dominate. As the other map is Mahi-Mahi Resort, it's a tough call what to equip.

Okay, the Inkzooka only splats me a couple of times, but with that range and accuracy it is quite noticable, particularly as it can come out of nowhere. And, sure, coming from a splatterscope user, I realise I can't really complain.
I try to stay back and make use of the ...

The other side has a charger too. An E-litre, and in the tentacles of a competent squid. He hides his laser sight and everything. It leads to some surprise splats, but I like to think I can give as good as I get. Or good enough, anyway. I just need ...

Splat Zones today! The two maps are Kelp Dome and Urchin Underpass, so I know full well that I am pushing my luck in sticking with the Splattterscope, but I am hoping that its ability to cover a long stretch of turf quickly will be an advantage. I just need ...

I know how to play Splatoon. I certainly don't press the reset-camera button instead of jump near the start of the game. But one thing I do is wear a t-shirt with the haunted trait. It's actually pretty decent, acting as a one-squid Echolocator whenever I'm splatted. And in Ranked ...

This is not one of my better starts to a Tower Control battle. Okay, so I let the longer-range charger have the main perch and hit my secondary perch instead, and get a nice early splat, but all that squidding about outside of my own ink is a bit embarrassing. ...

9-2 with the Splatterscope on Piranha Pit Tower Control is not too shabby! I also try to help the team out by keeping the turf inked our colour, particularly if my squidmates are mired in green.

I'm on a winning streak in Ranked tonight, bagging a handful of wins in a row. As I quit the lobby for a brief pause, this gives Splatoon the opportunity to pit me against some S-rank players when I return. Okay then.

The battle goes better than expected, even when I ...
