First three pushes are in the three different routes in Arowana Mall. First is right down the middle, getting to the tower super-fast, and getting me splatted with some alacrity too. Second is to the left, to get above the approaching tower, and gets me splatted quickly.
The third route takes ...

Three chargers on the other team for Tower Control. On the one hand, it should mean we will get control of the tower and be able to get and keep the lead without too much trouble. On the other hand, it will also mean that we are unlikely to be ...

A couple of failures with the Splatterscope in S-Rank Tower Control and I revert to the Tri-slosher. I'm still trying to be effective so far, but S-Rank battles are mostly making me feel rubbish, ineffective, and out of my depth.
In this battle, I'm still fairly fresh and trying to compete. ...

I really don't think I'm good enough, or dedicated enough, or serious enough for S Rank Splatoon. But I give it a try, mostly.
At least in this Rainmaker battle I contribute to splats and inking turf, rather than simply being target practice for the other team.

I even pull of some ...

I admit that I'm playing it safe with the Splattershot Jr. I could use a different weapon, but the Jr lets me be mobile and gives me a Bubbler for emergencies. I'll swap to something else once I'm a bit more comfortable.
This Rainmaker battle gets off to an amazing start. ...

I made it to S Rank. I'm not quite sure what to expect, except maybe an increase in skill levels of the other inklings. What I get is a huge increase in skill levels. Splatted by a charger through a tiny gap at the start of the map is unexpected.
But ...

Chargers versus Rollers and Gals. As we're on Camp Triggerfish, we probably ought to win this battle comfortably, as we should be able to control the crossing point at the middle of the map without too much trouble. It will only be the last minute of the battle when the ...

Note the pause after the Splatterscope charges. No one jumps in front of me this time, good. I get to my favoured perch and start with a splat! Then completely miss a relatively easy target.
Back to some splats and good self-preservation, and a decent shot from the ground up to ...

Low-level inklings abound in this Splatfest battle. Lucas is even 1st level! I make a note and try not to be mean, mostly to him, but in general.
Looks like I catch Lucas in my first Splat Bomb Rush, but I also get my intended target (and another inkling) and didn't ...

I dunno what possesses me to try a completely new weapon during the Splatfest. Maybe it was used against me effectively in an earlier battle. At least I take the Custom Hydra Splatling out to the range before taking it in to Turf War.
I think I can control the Hydra ...
