I'm aiming to jump the conveyer belt and slosh the Kelp Splatterscope on the normal perch, but my squid-sense tingles as a Seeker zooms past me. I turn and get a nice early splat, before enacting my plan. Maybe it's good that I wasn't first to make the jump, as ...

I'm sure if I practice enough, I'll be good with a charger one day. I'm also sure Splatoon 2 will be released first. But at least at my ranks, some other chargers have similar aim to me, and my first exchange with the Splatterscope ends in a no-score draw. Moving ...

The initial battle looks to be over our Splat Zone. But I suppose it would, as that's where I am. We mostly have to fend off the occasional Suction Bomb, whilst I try to work out when it's safe to push forwards. I don't make the best decision. I take ...

My losing streak/skill degradation/poor choices continue, and not even switching to the Tri-slosher can stop my falling in to the B+ rank. Still, I'm confident the bucket can get me back out of there pretty quickly.
I'm helped a little by one inkling apparently trying to tank his ranking, turning up ...

It's just me in our Splat Zones, conscientiously capturing it. That's got to be a first. I even get a splat before I'm splatted. Not by much, but it's something. A good Disruptor throw hits something on my return, and upwards sloshing destroys a Sprinkler and catches a jumping inkling. ...

Four Wasabi Splattershots split across the two teams. I guess they're popular. One splats me near the start, but with a Splat Bomb on a conveyer belt that I simply can't get away from. I get close to being splatted by another, but a squidmate saves me, and I perhaps ...

That's a good dive away from a chasing Burst Bomb, even if I end up rolling in to a block. The battle over our Splat Zone begins, the other team getting in to a stronger position early. I loiter near the ramp, hoping to splat an inkling and take the ...

I'm careful not to get in our charger's way whilst he's aiming, and that first purple inkling takes a bit of ink to splat him, but we're on our way. The second inkling is hiding in plain sight, just squidin' on the ground, and I'm a bit lucky that our ...

I can tell this battle is going to be tough from the team compositions. Two chargers, a bucket, and a roller for us, three shooters and a charger for them. It's going to be rough for us. Still, it's a fairly standard start, as I help ink our Splat Zone ...

I've had a string of battles where we've been overrun, and I'm feeling a bit tense. The early splat after an unstable connection warning is not helping. But I keep a stiff upper lip and battle on, for the team.
I shift to a defensive role immediately, and see that we ...
