Do I really need almost a minute to get my aim in at the start of battles? At least I can hit the ground, which is what's needed for Turf War.
Once I've hit the ground enough times, it seems I am warmed up, and inklings become fair game.
And I gave ...

Another flirtation with the Splash-o-Matic, and I switch back to the Splatterscope. It's weird but nice how comfortable I am with the charger these days. Comfortable, but not exactly competent. All those missed shots early on, and at close range! And against Barbarians for a change! This is a battle ...

After the battle, reviewing the video, I realise that we have a 0-0 inkling. He disappears after 10 seconds and doesn't come back. He was the Tentatek Splattershot, which left us with 3 chargers, an E-litre 3K Scope, a Heroshot Replica, and my Splatterscope.

Given our limitations, I think we put ...

Another Splatfest! Let's blast through the battles. To ease myself in to the Ninja vs Barbarian Splatfest, I take my old favourite in to battle, the Splash-o-Matic.
I adopt my old techniques too. Half sneaking around the side routes, half running headlong in to trouble. I do try to be a ...

Doesn't the tower's pillar provide cover from being splatted? That E-litre is using haxxx, gotta be.
Having a squidmate get splatted whilst I'm hidden by a wall is also pretty confusing. I'm surprised I recovered so quickly.

I have a pretty good game, racking up the splats, being sneaky, riding the tower. ...

Enjoying a new-found winning streak in A+ Tower Control, I stick with the Dual Squelcher. The side route is best for my range again, but for some reason I don't ink the other squid enough to splat him, and move on to the tower. What a silly mistake.
Whilst a couple ...

I abandon Ranked for Turf War to give the Rapid Blaster a fairer test, but only encounter more frustration. I am not in the mood for continued failure whilst trying to learn a new weapon, so I grab my Tri-slosher and head back to Ranked, to see if I can ...

Thinking I should mix up my battles a bit again, this is my first game with the Rapid Blaster. Yeah, I know I shouldn't really take a new weapon in to Ranked, particularly as I have never got used to any blaster, but I didn't think it would make a ...

9-2 with the Splatterscope on Piranha Pit Tower Control is not too shabby! I also try to help the team out by keeping the turf inked our colour, particularly if my squidmates are mired in green.

I have to admit, I didn't realise we were so closing to winning, and so ...

I'm on a winning streak in Ranked tonight, bagging a handful of wins in a row. As I quit the lobby for a brief pause, this gives Splatoon the opportunity to pit me against some S-rank players when I return. Okay then.

The battle goes better than expected, even when I ...
