Back in A+! Let's hope I don't get petulant and whiny because I get splatted within 10 seconds of the start of the first battle in the evening. I'm probably just a bit rusty.
I'm going with the Dual Squelcher today, as its range should come in handy for the ...

I'm not adapting to S Rank well at all. I am kinda hoping to lose a whole bunch of battles and drop out of the rank. Although I honestly don't want to throw the battles, I'm not about to make myself ill trying to fit in somewhere I don't belong. ...

So close to dropping out of S Rank! Will it finally happen? Maybe! If I get frustrated by inking the back of a squidmate's head more times. But that's just general frustrating rearing its head. The inkling didn't jump, and it's generally a bit chaotic as we all run away ...

The Custom Dual Squelcher seems to be helping me be a little bit useful in S-Rank battles, and my fresh new hat looks good on me, so I continue battling.
I seem to be learning from getting crushed so much to keep my distance from the other team. Or, more likely, ...

As much as I feel like a fish out of water in S-Rank battles, I hope to contribute to the team effort when I don't feel entirely demoralised.
The Custom Dual Squelcher should let me stay out of the most obvious of trouble, as long as I respect its range, which ...

Which way to go at the start of Splat Zones on Kelp Dome. Right! Maybe. It seems to give a decent view, but only of my spindly tentacles to a Roller below me.
I go right again, but ink ahead of me as a diversion. It doesn't really work. My Killer ...

Still struggling in S-Rank battles. The Dual Squelcher seems to be a decent choice for me in Mahi-Mahi resort Splat Zones, giving me the range I need to stay out of direct trouble, and the Resort giving me enough options to stay at range.
Not that I stay out of trouble, ...

Sometimes I use a weapon kind of how it was designed to be used. For the Dual Squelcher, I assume this to be keeping at long range and not squidding in to short-range encounters. For the Custom Dual Squelcher, the Killer Wail Special can also be used as a suppressive ...

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 ...
