I'm pretty sure I've never played Rainmaker on Saltspray Rig before. I think there were problems with the map. Anyway, my inexperience probably shows, as I didn't take a minute to recon the map and its changes before plunging in, with my Splatterscope no less.

Far from my best battle in Splat Zones, but I like to think that at least I made a good showing of myself. I feel I splatted a lot of ink around in the right places, even if my aim is still a bit dodgy.

A couple more losses, even after ...

I'm not sure I helped too much in this Splat Zones battle, but I'll take the ranking points. I need them.

Well, I suppose I took out that Sprinkler. Not the Splash Wall, though. And I did give a morale-boosting 'Nice!' at the end. I'm sure that counts as contributing.

Just when I think I'm getting the hang of Splat Zones, it all starts going wrong. The opponents push forwards, get their specials charged, and I'm flushed out of a comfortable perch.

Not a bad result for me as a squid, but we perhaps could have kept the lead. Maybe I'm ...

The Dual Squelcher may have a good range, but it's not as good as a charger. In the right tentacles, a charger is a good suppression weapon, and these squids have the right tentacles.

And in the next battle, after a shaky start, I get to the top rank with a ...

A new lobby gets me a new squidmate to enjoy. Golo may not be that harmful, but he gets himself in to good positions and definitely causes a nuisance. I think I like him.

But the squids in the next battle are mostly newsquids, and I feel guilty for staying so ...

The battle felt closer than it turned out to be, even though it's still quite close, maybe because that Killian squid kept jumping me from out of nowhere.

He's an aptly named kid, that's for sure.
A disconnection before the next battle gives me the opportunity to change my equipment, so I ...

So close to going 5-0 with the Splattershot Jr in this battle, but I step over a mine and can't get away in time.

Never mind, we're racking up the points for Team Money in the EU Splatfest!
Next I'm trying not to hassle newsquids.
I can only be so aggressive during Turf ...

Squids were super-keen to super-jump in this Splatfest battle, and other squids were just as keen to wait and welcome them with ink spraying.
I continue where I left off last night, with the Splattershot Jr. Its Bubbler should come in handy, and its ink efficiency is superb.

Another dominating game in the EU Splatfest, with Ben and Steiner, plus a random squid that's changing each game now.
I leave them to it at the opponents' base when I realise we've got them cornered, and return to ink some of the turf we've bypassed. I think the others have ...
