Still in S Rank, playing a little later. STILL there are Japanese players, now up after 5 am. Sure, this is obviously the kind of dedication I put in to my games. Whatever, I'm feeling a bit fresher, the ranked battle is now over Splat Zones, and I think a ...

Trying to play the objective in S Rank Tower Control against Japanese players willing to stay up beyond 2 in the morning is an exercise in frustration. I am not having fun.
I am close to dropping out of S Rank, though, which may give me temporary respite from feeling completely ...

Back in S Rank, in a lobby filled with Japanese players who are up at 2 am. I am having a terrible time, being matched against players who clearly take this game much more seriously than I do.
I've switched between several weapons and just done horribly in every battle. I ...

New tactic for Blackbelly Skatepark Tower Control. My Tri-slosher can get me to the tower really quickly, but I have been doing that in each game this session so far. Instead, I aim to outflank the opponents from the start. It would help if I knew how to squid. Or ...

A bit of a runaround on the tower to start with, as an N-ZAP chases me. Neither of us really wins. Even during that short time, there is blue in everywhere on our side of the map, which is a situation I think needs correcting.
Having inked the turf purple, I ...

Trying to ride the tower immediately on Blackbelly Skatepark is disrupted by finding a Suction Bomb where I want to be. Pausing only has me awkwardly fall from the central column, where I am splatted without getting a splat myself. Not the greatest start to the battle.
My next splat is ...

I dunno how I don't splat that Roller as he's squidding up the central column before he gets to splat me. I can only assume my ink is sloshing down and hitting a different inkling. It gets me a little salty, though, which is only made worse when hit by ...

My not-quite-a-rampage worked well in the previous battle, so that's my strategy for this one too. I think a skirmishing approach will be necessary too, with that E-litre 3K in the other team.
Thankfully, I catch the E-litre 3K looking the other way immediately, and her reaction is to run in ...

I'm having a bad time this evening. I can't get my normal choices of weapons to work for me. I'm getting a little frustrated, which calls for a more radical change than just the weapon.
I pick the Splash-o-Matic and decide to mostly ignore the objective, and instead try to go ...

The Tri-slosher wasn't working for me in Rainmaker, so I've swapped to the Splattershot Jr, hoping for a better result.
I flank the opposition to start with, mostly becuase at this level it seems too reckless to head straight for the Rainmaker. I don't get much of a result, although at ...
