I'm still attempting to practice caution with my Splatterscope, not rushing in to confrontations I am likely to lose. I have to consider my options with Flounder Heights. There are obvious places to perch in Ranked battles, but maybe not so much in Turf War.
I don't get credited for the ...

It's been a bit of a rough start to the Splatfest, and I've swapped from the Tri-slosher to a Wasabi Splattershot and now to the Splatterscope. At least I should be able to cover a lot of turf without need to close with the other team. Not that using a ...

Surprise Rainmaker! I was trying to jump across the grate to continue sloshing, and thought my squidmate picked up the Rainmaker. Nope! Okay, we get a three-point lead, but I don't think it was worth the splat.
I notice a motif in this battle. The other team like to lie in ...

The Soda Slosher is working nicely for me. I am even getting the hang of the Inkzooka. Not that I really need it in this battle.
I take a side route to the Rainmaker, hoping to surprise the opposition, but the surprise is on me. I don't know where they are. ...

Having used the Tri-slosher for so long, with it's splayed sloshing, I am not quite yet used to the Slosher's more narrow sloshing arc. It's great at inking a path, and covering turf, but I have to be a bit more accurate to get splats. Still, I have used a ...

I've dropped out of S Rank, but the battles don't really seem to get much easier. Well, maybe they do, kinda. They get more to my level, which keeps them challenging without being stressful.
Rainmaker today, with Flounder Heights and Port Mackerel. An excellent combination all around, and I'll stick with ...

I love Flounders Heights. So many routes to take, so many walls to squid up, so many ways to get ambushed. Ideally, I would be the one doing the ambushing, and I think I am in this battle.
I zip past the Splat Zones with an eye to coming up behind ...

Pretty much this whole match is an accident. I want to jump past the Rainmaker to get a splat or two and slow down the opposition, but I get bumped to the side.
Sure I get a splat, but not the way I wanted. Not inking the wall properly doesn't work ...

Squidding works better in ink, it seems. My quick movement with the Tri-slosher isn't as smooth at the start of this battle, but I still get a couple of early splats to trade for just one of me. From that, I return to help ride the tower a bit, but ...

The plan to concentrate on the E-litre 3K worked so well in the previous battle (in a way) that I have the same plan in this battle.
A good E-litre really can disrupt a Rainmaker battle, but so can being distracted by trying to splat an E-litre 3K, as I demonstrate.
The ...
