I know I say I'm not a camper, but I also admit that I play aggressively. I find Bluefin Depot offers a good challenge for getting near the other team's base, as there is really only one route, and it is up an uninkable, unsquiddable grate. I like getting up ...

More Turf War! The Splattershot Jr for me this time, with my natty new hat. I'm looking pretty fresh, this is going to be a good battle.
I ink turf to ink turf, but also to charge my Special. Once charged, it's up to the top to engage the pink team. ...

Back for more Splat Zones. Let's see if all that time spent on Hammerhead Bridge in the recent Splatfest pays off.
I don't have to get on top of the Splat Zones with my Splatterscope, and can hang back and still ink some turf. I am helped, of course, by my ...

Let's have a game of Turf War. I'll stick with the Splatterscope, because why not?
Of course, because it's Turf War, the focus is on inking turf, so instead of rushing to the centre of the map, and any objective there, I start by inking turf. Good tactic!
I get enough ink ...

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 ...
