I usually have a rough idea of what I'm doing in relation to my team and the goal in most battles. This is not one of those battles.
I like to think I am contributing, by inking turf, forging paths, engaging the opposition, but it mostly feels like I am in ...

The Soda Slosher is working nicely for me. I am even getting the hang of the Inkzooka. Not that I really need it in this battle.
I take a side route to the Rainmaker, hoping to surprise the opposition, but the surprise is on me. I don't know where they are. ...

Splat Bombs explode sooner than Suction Bombs. That makes a difference in the first few seconds of this Rainmaker battle in Port Mackerel. It doesn't quite stop me getting splatted, though.
The Rainmaker is picked up and dropping immediately, and then left alone, for reasons unknown. I blast a path with ...

Having used the Tri-slosher for so long, with it's splayed sloshing, I am not quite yet used to the Slosher's more narrow sloshing arc. It's great at inking a path, and covering turf, but I have to be a bit more accurate to get splats. Still, I have used a ...

I've dropped out of S Rank, but the battles don't really seem to get much easier. Well, maybe they do, kinda. They get more to my level, which keeps them challenging without being stressful.
Rainmaker today, with Flounder Heights and Port Mackerel. An excellent combination all around, and I'll stick with ...

One squid goes puff as we enter Ancho-V Games.
A second disappears as the stage pans a second time.
The third decides he doesn't like the odds.

What's a squid to do? Put on a brave face and battle anyway? Or have a small squid party?

The Soda Slosher is a nifty weapon. I need to get used to the Inkzooka, although I do seem to get some easy-mode splats just by firing it, which is fun. It also sloshes ink everywhere, much as it is supposed to, which is good for Splat Zones.
I do miss ...

I'm trying a new bucket, the Soda Slosher, for Splat Zones. The Slosher has worked well for me in Splat Zones before, and I really just want to try a new weapon.
The Splat Bomb sub is familiar enough, but I've never really got to grips with the Inkzooka. I suppose ...

Having dropped out of S Rank, I opt for a different weapon. I think I'd be more effective with the Tri-slosher, but I also don't want to climb right back up to S Rank if I can help it.
I remember that I tried a Blaster in Tower Control before, and ...

Down to an S Rank of 1. We either win this game, or I'm back down to A+. I have mixed feelings about this. Let's see what I can do with the Tri-slosher.
An early splat is typical. I recover and get a double splat, albeit sacrificing myself to a Killer ...
