I like to think I can squid down the centre of Arowana Mall pretty quickly, but those bumps seem to get in the way and slow me down. For that reason, the side routes seem more attractive, although with more visibility and vulnerability when reaching the centre. Particularly from chargers ...

I'm still keen to rise above A-, which means concentrating a bit. I don't think it means 'equip a Blaster', but I did quite well with one the other day, and am happy to get better with the weapon. I opt this time for the basic Blaster, as the Killer ...

I go one way, but bump in to inklings. So I go the other way, and bump in to inklings. Never mind, the start is nearly always chaotic. Disrupting the Rapid Blaster easily makes up for any early hiccup, including not splatting in the incoming super-jumper.
I try out-flank the inklings ...

Ancho-V Games is a fun map, but not one that benefits my rushing in to the centre. I try instead to build up the charge on my Bubbler, and then toss that idea out of the window and get stuck as the platform rises, putting me in a crossfire.
Not a ...

I think going around the side would let me surprise some green inklings almost whenever I play Flounder Heights. And, to be fair, it does to start with. I push further forwards to splat the charger, but when I get to her perch she's gone.
Of course she's gone, the Tower ...

My decline in rank seems inexorable. I thought I could sacrifice some points by practicing new weapons and easily gain them back, but once I hit A- it seems that I am stuck here. Even turning to my trusty Tri-slosher doesn't seem to help, as I lose battle after battle, ...

It's Splat Zones again, but only for half-an-hour, so why not stick with the Kelp Splatterscope? Why not indeed. The first two battles are quick and decisive, if not outstanding. It seems like A- can be a bit fickle, and it may not entirely be up to my own contributions ...

Another ten battles or so, and Arnaud is still there. He'll outlast me, because I'm just after one more decent battle before I call it a night. I think this is the one. A good early splat, and simultaneous Killer Wails, and Arnaud following up to splat me. Excellent.
Falling backwards ...

Yep, I've been knocked down to A-. So it goes. I'm thinking I shouldn't be down here long, but not even my mad Splatterscope skillz with a Z are reliably helping me win the battles. It doesn't help when I forget to release the trigger before squidding.
One thing I notice ...

The Kelp Splatterscope! No relying on Splat Bombs this time. It seems like a good idea, with the Sprinkler for Splat Zones, and Killer Wail for Port Mackerel and Walleye Warehouse. That's if I manage to use them both, particularly as I still haven't got it in my head which ...
