I decide which side to flank based on the side of the podium I start on for this battle. I can't help but pause for a splat, though. Once I'm back on track, I flank effectively, although maybe without splats.
The splats come from a second flanking move, once I work ...

I'm sticking with the Tri-slosher. Maybe I should re-introduce more weapon variety, but I like the bucket quite a lot. I'm also sticking with my plan to flank the opposition early and often.
I don't catch out an inkling quite so easily this battle, and although I disrupt him it is ...

My first battle of the session, and I am already thinking about flanking the opposition and being a disruption. It works quite well to start with, although that first splat had the inkling perhaps lacking a little awareness. The following two were just my good positioning, though.
I make a poor ...

More Tri-sloshing on Rainmaker, this time in Museum d'Alfonsino. I try for a falnking manoeuvre again to start with, after a previous battle that reminded me of the extra blocks, and it nearly works. I get a splat, but it's mutual.
I like the route, though, so I tend to use ...

Pretty much this whole match is an accident. I want to jump past the Rainmaker to get a splat or two and slow down the opposition, but I get bumped to the side.
Sure I get a splat, but not the way I wanted. Not inking the wall properly doesn't work ...

I'm on a losing streak in Splat Zones. Clearly my mojo has left me. Instead of trying to cover the Splat Zones I go on a skirmish, hoping that whatever disruption I can cause will be enough to let my squidmates take control.
I start quite well, aiming to get not ...

I'm clearly in the better team in this battle. I don't honestly think I can say that I make a difference. Sure, I make a pretty good start, getting some splats, staying safe, laying down an Inkstrike, but it's my squidmates who press the advantage.
I think it's going pretty well, ...

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 ...
