To say I didn't enjoy my time in S Rank before is to understate my mood somewhat. I'm back there now, having only briefly bounced down to A+, and I would like to stay positive. I hope this attitude lasts.
Although I feel out-classed again, I also feel like I am ...

A pretty nifty start to this Tower Control battle for me. A couple of splats, albeit after a couple of misfires, and although I miss getting a triple-splat, getting rid of the opposing charger makes up for it, as well as providing a good opportunity for our team.
Sadly, I don't ...

Still stuck in S-Rank frustration, I'm back to giving the battle a solid go. I want to play Splatoon, I just don't want it to be quite so serious. Not much chance in S Rank, though.
Either way, I'm going to have to adjust to the circumstances, or make the circumstances ...

I'm not having much luck, or fun, in S-Rank battles. Change of tactics! I switch from the short-range Tri-slosher to something that should let me keep my range, but without requiring the precision of a charger: the Dual Squelcher.
An early splat is not encouraging, but getting sent back to the ...

I had no joy with the Custom Blaster in S-Rank Tower Control, so I revert to the Splattershot Jr.
Straight up the centre and on to the tower, somehow not getting splatted by the charger on his perch.
I keep riding the tower, my squidmates taking care of the other team, and ...

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. ...

Three chargers on our team, two on theirs. That's to be expected for Camp Triggerfish, I suppose, but it doesn't make me confident all the same, so I go in to aggressive mode, looking to ride the tower and push in to opponent territory. It's not something I feel comfortable ...

An E-litre 3K on the other team! This can only mean one thing: I shall be made to look mediocre. Well, maybe not straight away, as first ink is mine, but I doubt this brief moment of comparative competence will last.
Instead of trying to out-scope the E-litre, which I will ...
