It's good to see the ink coming over the brow of the ramp in Arowana Mall. It makes the first splat more rewarding. I've been on the other end of those a few times, and it can make a squid a bit salty. It's good to know how it happens.
That ...

Not my best start to a battle on Museum d'Alfonsino, dropping off the platform instead of squidding, but never mind. It's encouraging to see my mature response to getting to the Splat Zones and seeing an inkling squid away. I don't give chase, or fire indiscriminately, and instead splat the ...

I'm thinking the Tri-slosher will lead to some Splat Zone fun for me, and I go looking for it in the early stages of this battle. It seems that the other side wants to have fun too, and they find it more than I do. But I collect myself ...

Not my best start to a Rainmaker battle on Camp Triggerfish. I wonder if my Splatterscope squidmate will want the fence-top perch, and am willing to take the low road if he does. Our Slosher wants a bit of high-up action too, and as I can't even squid up the ...

I can't stay away from the Splatterscope. Sometimes I even have a good battle with it. And I think I prefer the plain Splatterscope than the Bento version, as the Splat Bombs come in far too useful, as I demonstrate early on. I also show that I can aim sometimes.
I'm ...

I like my buckets, but I think the Tri-slosher Nouveau may be better for Rainmaker than the basic bucket, with the Seeker painting long straight(ish) lines. Not so handy on Ancho-V Games, perhaps, but I'll see if I can make them work. And can I survive without a Bubbler?
I get ...

If a battle wanted an unstable connection half-way through, this would be it. Apart from inking the back of a squidmate's head at the start, I make a cracking contribution to this Rainmaker battle. I even remember from the previous battle about that extra block that I can use to ...

So much that I do wrong or that goes wrong in this battle. Right from the start, I splat the back of a squidmate's head, not hitting the Rainmaker's shield, and then when I hit the shield I had a purple inkling right in my sights.
I would say that things ...

That's a beautifully angled Killer Wail that splats the Rainmaker and me. I appreciated it during the battle, it was that good.
I grab the Rainmaker a few times. My first Rainmaker carry gets us a decent advantage. The second extends that slightly, thanks to holding back a little as support ...

I wonder where that E-litre 3K will plant herself? Hmm. Hey, good guess! Better first shot would have been nice, as well as a bit of situational awareness afterwards. But that first splat against the E-litre is worth it.
I also ignore my earlier advice to hang back and provide support ...
