Not feeling particularly good at Rainmaker with the Dual Squelcher, it's probably not the best idea to switch to the Splatterscope. But whatever. If I want to improve my situational awareness, and get better at dealing with the relative ranges of weapons, it seems like a good plan, if a ...

2-10 with the Dual Squelcher. At least one of those splats was on the Rainmaker, almost on top of our podium, but I'm just feeling like I'm outclassed in Ranked play still. It's difficult to improve when you're suppressed so effectively in many battles.
Still, I seize an opportunity late in ...

My Rainmaker battles keep frustrating me. Lots of skilled squids out to make me lose the coveted A rank tonight, it seems. Swapping weapons isn't helping, so I revert to a battle of Turf War just to feel like I can actually play well.
That doesn't go to plan at first. ...

The battle starts with our team missing a squid. I think we know which way the battle is going to go, but there's nothing to do but give it the best of British.
We put up a good struggle, given the circumstances, and I even think we have a chance of ...

0-11 with the Splatterscope, but I carry the Rainmaker 7 times (once by accident), and do a pretty good job of avoiding the Killer Wails.

Even with my performance with the charger, I am pleased with my contribution to the battle.

Tip: don't jump in front of a charger trying to lay down an ink path.
Tip: don't squid away quite so enthusiastically without first checking that you do, in fact, have the Rainmaker.
Tip: don't walk slowly up to a Splash Wall if you are equipped with a charger. This is when ...

Not all the mistakes are made by me, but I reckon a good portion of them are. It's my first game of the evening, I've made the bold choice of the Splatterscope in Mahi Mahi Resort, and I turn out to be playing against players obviously better than me.

Honestly, I'm ...

Bluefin Depot was my bogey level at the start of the evening, getting splatted everywhere by squids almost completely ignoring the tower. Even with my change from the Tri-slosher to the Dual Squelcher, would this change? Thankfully, yes.
The tower was the focus of attention: they wanted us off of ...

A couple of frustrating Tower Control battles had me almost quitting for the night. The Tri-slosher wasn't working against aggressive splatters who pretty much ignored the objective, which wasn't the way I wanted to play. But I decided to switch weapon and give it another go. I like Splatoon too ...

16-6 in Splat Zones with the Splattershot Jr. I must be doing something right. This may be one of my best Splat Zone battles so far, and certainly with a shooter.
I am particularly pleased with hunting down that pesky charger, and downright proud of lobbing a Splat Bomb on his ...
