Time to try out the new weapons! Kinda! I'm sticking with a Splatterscope, and giving the Bento version a go. I kinda see that the Splash Wall can help in short-range situations, and like the Echolocator for a charger a lot. Maybe I can do without Splat Bombs or a ...

I think I've escaped the early attention in my first advance in this battle, somehow getting past the inklings on the ground. But rather than moving on to surprise the charger, I jump in to a firing Luna Blaster. The result isn't pretty.
My second jump lands me on an exploding ...

There's something about my first battle of the night if I'm using a Tri-slosher. Or maybe it's just the past few days and not an ongoing trend. Still, I play like an inkling possessed in this battle, like I did in my previous excellent Tri-slosher showing. If only I could ...

All looks fairly standard at the start of this battle. A bit of a tussle for control of the turf, one team grabs the Rainmaker and makes progress, the other team tries to claw their way back. But this is not a normal battle.

Nope. The blue team could easily win ...

I ponder my weapon options for Rainmaker, and decide on the Soda Slosher. Its spread isn't as good as the Tri-slosher, but it has a little extra range, and the Inkzooka should help with inking paths for the Rainmaker. If we ever get the Rainmaker.
One splat in to the battle ...

Are the inkling girls boys too? As Crash of Crash and the Boys would say: yes.
I think I was meant to be on that platform as the fan activated. That's cool, I can wait for the next one, and remember how they work as I do.
I like how the yellow ...

I was watching some of my best games, in the Games of Fame playlist, and was pretty impressed by some of the charging I've managed to do. Maybe I got some luck here and there, but even if it is luck, it's great when it happens. And it's also why ...

The Splatterscope is satisfying to play well, but the Tri-slosher is just so much fun! I swap to give the bucket a go in Tower Control, and it works out better than I'd hoped.
I go the first minute of the game without getting splatted whilst flanking the opposition, Disrupting one, ...

I'm sticking with the Octobrush Nouveau, probably for a bit. This is my second battle with it, and I obviously don't have the hang of it yet. Don't let that first splat fool you. But of course I don't have the hang of the brush yet, because it will take ...

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?
