First battle of the evening, and I get caught up a bit in a charger showdown. I don't know why, I'm likely to lose.
It also means I have no idea where the Rainmaker is, because I'm not looking at either the progress meter at the top of the screen or ...

A friend has actually bought a Wii U and Splatoon after all my badgering! This means we can play together. I join his Turf War battle.
There are only two problems. The first is that we are not on the same team. It does mean I get to splat him, though, ...

The Splatterscope isn't a great choice for Kelp Dome and Hammerhead Bridge. It's a workable weapon, no doubt, but I find I have to try harder to make it work for me. I'll have another go, this time with the Tri-slosher.
The bucket should work fairly well on the Bridge, given ...

Well, it's more that other inklings seem much better than me, making me look quite poor in comparison.
I try to do my best, but I seem simply outmatched too often. That, and I am an Inkzooka magnet. Maybe I should learn how to aim that. Or learn how to aim ...

I missed that Splatterscope on the opponents' base before the start. I would have been more circumspect in approaching the tower had I noticed. As it is, I get splatted pretty quickly by her.
New plan: circle around the back. The plan works quite well, but mostly by accident, as the ...

My plan is to go after that Splatterscope at the start of the battle. I think I know a quick way to the perch. My plan works too! I splat the Splatterscope, and get a second splat when moving on. My squidmates even get the Rainmaker and advance it healthily.
Getting ...

Which way to go at the start of Splat Zones on Kelp Dome. Right! Maybe. It seems to give a decent view, but only of my spindly tentacles to a Roller below me.
I go right again, but ink ahead of me as a diversion. It doesn't really work. My Killer ...

I'm about to quit for the night, but notice I am one battle away from being 'On Fire'. I can't leave it there, obviously, so I head back in. But as I have to win the battle to get fiery, I swap to something more reliable than the Custom Blaster ...

No one jumps on the tower for the first 40 seconds of this battle! Admittedly, I am running around the side getting a couple of pre-emptive splats myself, but in my defence it is also me who first gets on the tower, and then rides it for half the map. ...

That first splat is so sweet! I even purposely wait a second longer to get that bit closer. I only notice on review that the charger is aiming at a squidmate, so thankfully that extra second didn't cost our team a splat. But that Luna Blaster is irritatingly better than ...
