A fairly cautious approach keeps me unsplatted again, as the other inklings all battle rather more directly for the Splat Zones. My squidmates take the upper hand, which lets me sneak in around the side and start causing my own disruption, helped by an Ink Storm. That incomplete patch of ...

I'm reluctant to get too involved too quickly in S-rank battles, as I'm not entirely convinced I belong here. Still, holding back and providing some foundational support is generally useful, and sending the odd Robo Chicken to the other side to pressure the charger almost always helps.
I admire one Robo ...

I'm not worried about the low battery as much as that inkling inking his way to our podium, in preparation of a purple Rainmaker drive. I suspect he will be an irritating presence for most of the battle, and I would do well to ignore him, if not his ink. ...

Some early caution pays off for me in Splat Zones, although my Splat Bomb throws are quite pitiful. My squidmates must be doing something right at least, as we capture the Splat Zones and hold on to them for a huge amount of time. We nearly win by knockout, as ...

Sticking with the bucket for now, and we're back in the Academy. Early inking in a safe zone is a straightforward start, and I use my Burst Bombs as minor threats when moving in to the more contested area. My sloshing the wall of the central structure is meant to ...

I like the green bucket, and even though I'm not convinced it's the best choice for Turf Wars I'm sure I can at least be effective with it. Even so, our mixed-weapon group of invisibility inklings may be at a disadvantage to the all-shooter Flight team. Still, I make the ...

I'm continuing with my Splattershot Jr plan, as it seems to be mostly working. But I'm being a bit more aggressive with it now, because it seems to be mostly working. I hit the flank of the purple team immediately, ignoring the Rainmaker, and although I don't catch the Dynamo ...

Heading down the side seems like a sensible move in the Academy, as long as not everyone does it. It lets me fling an Autobomb towards the green side, and roll up the side to the Splat Zones, with relative cover. Running in to another Roller almost ends with my ...

I can played Ranked battles, so let's play some Ranked battles. It's Tower Control, my favourite mode from before, but with some changes. The biggest is probably the checkpoints, and I don't quite know how they work. I should probably use the recon option to find out, but, as usual, ...

I've got access to the N-ZAP '85, so let's try it out. It should be better at inking turf than the Splattershot Jr, and it still has the Ink Armour. I have already forgotten my own advice to activate Ink Armour sooner rather than later, though, which really doesn't ...
