I'm not sure why I have trouble finding puddles of my own ink, but I still do. That's okay, as it's obvious and just a little adjustment is needed so that I can recharge my ink tank and launch a Seeker. The first is a bit of a dud, seeking ...

Because I've dropped to A Rank, because the other map for Splat Zones is Bluefin Depot, and because I like the bucket so much, I'm swapping to the Tri-slosher for a bit. The bucket works everywhere for everything.
I'm learning not to rush straight in to the Splat Zones, particularly not ...

The battle switches to Rainmaker! Okay, bucket, we can do this. I like Bluefin Depot and have a good relationship with Mahi-Mahi Resort, both maps that I can skirmish on and around. I even start this battle with a good Disruptor throw, even if I don't get the splat from ...

When the Kelp Splatterscope splats me from that jump I could never make, I think my number's up, and this battle is over. It doesn't stop me from trying, but I am now quite wary of my distance.
At least my Splatterscope allows me the benefit of shooting to cover some ...

I know I disparage my aiming skills with a charger quite regularly, but there are some battles where I am really glad of having Splat Bombs as a Sub-weapon.
Of course, it would help if I remembered the basics of being a squid too, so that I don't lie completely outside ...

This battle does not go particularly well for me. I try to keep the turf covered at the start, and take pot-shot at inklings too far from me, and end up getting splatted by a Gal from behind a Splash Wall as I aim badly for his squidmate.
I miss-time a ...

Bluefin Depot offers a nice height difference for a charger, at least until the other team make it across the map. But if you're good enough, you can stop them, right? I stop the Tower's first movement, at least, and one approaching inkling, but the yellow team's progress must be ...

I try not to be too impetuous at the beginning of this Rainmaker battle, wanting instead to provide the support a charger should. Of course, this support includes inking paths for the Rainmaker, so my plan to hang back is amended when we take an early lead.
Well, 'lead', really. We ...

This is the fun kind of battle I enjoy, where both teams are going for the objective, but neither one is dominating. Everyone is doing their part for their team, and it makes for a fast-paced battle.
The fast pace means I'm not always sure what's going on, and when I ...

One more loss will see me drop out of S Rank. Now, it's not that I am aiming for the loss, but it would be a relief to be back in A+ for a bit. I also have a bunch of time to rack up some more losses, if this ...
