Splat Zones were up and down for me yesterday, and they return today. I think the Splatterscope will help, either with inking lots of turf to hold the Zones, or my shaky aim dropping me out of S Rank.
The first battle was average, the second terrible, so I join a ...

Let's stick with the Splatterscope for now. Practice makes perfect, or at least better, and the Tower gives me a decent platform to aim at. It looks like we have some heavy opposition, though.
My first splat is actually my trying to be cautious, and I see the inkling come up ...

I go for a change of weapon, swapping to the Wasabi Splattershot for a change of pace. This battle goes against us pretty quickly. I don't know what my squidmates are doing, but it probably isn't fair to blame them for the other team being good.
We are pushed back to ...

Sloshing appears to be working, either in itself or by good squidmates lifting my morale. I almost don't mind that I completely fluff that first jump to the lower leve in Bluefin Depot. I must confess, that isn't the only time it happened this evening. Or this battle.
The Slosher works ...

Whee, the Tri-slosher! What a lovely, silly, effective weapon. Quick moving, low-aiming, disrupting. It bags me two splats at the start of the battle, and only loses a third because of a Splash Wall.
I keep on splatting, even avoiding a Roller, thankfully, but I'm sure he'll get me back. I'm ...

Rainmaker, on Bluefin Depot and Arowana Mall. I'm sticking with the Splatterscope, as the stages are good and I've been doing pretty well. Let's hope I can keep it up, in the face of an E-litre 3K.
No, not really. She out-ranges and out-skills me, and my reactions aren't quick enough. ...

I know I say I'm not a camper, but I also admit that I play aggressively. I find Bluefin Depot offers a good challenge for getting near the other team's base, as there is really only one route, and it is up an uninkable, unsquiddable grate. I like getting up ...

Still stuck in S-Rank frustration, I'm back to giving the battle a solid go. I want to play Splatoon, I just don't want it to be quite so serious. Not much chance in S Rank, though.
Either way, I'm going to have to adjust to the circumstances, or make the circumstances ...

Three chargers on the other team for Tower Control. On the one hand, it should mean we will get control of the tower and be able to get and keep the lead without too much trouble. On the other hand, it will also mean that we are unlikely to be ...

A couple of failures with the Splatterscope in S-Rank Tower Control and I revert to the Tri-slosher. I'm still trying to be effective so far, but S-Rank battles are mostly making me feel rubbish, ineffective, and out of my depth.
In this battle, I'm still fairly fresh and trying to compete. ...
