I'm getting back in to a charger groove. I really ought to play around with more weapons, I know, as the diversity is good to play and good to watch, and I will do. For now, though, I could use the practice.
To prove it, I get off to a shaky ...

Back in S Rank, back feeling a bit rubbish at the game as a result. I start with the Splatterscope, with pretty much the same plan as before to improve or drop out of S Rank, but it becomes clear that this will demotivate me today. Not the Splatterscope, not ...

The battle mode changes, as do the maps, and with Port Mackerel and Camp Triggerfish available for Rainmaker I go back to the Splatterscope. Those lovely long corridors should suit the charger well.
Nope, not really. Well, not in my tentacles. This is actually a pretty poor battle for me, getting ...

I haven't given up on the Octobrush, but am moving between weapons to have a more familiar end to the session.
The Splattershot Jr doesn't go as well as I'd hope, so I go back to the Soda Slosher, which I recently added to my inky arsenal.
The frist splatting is a ...

I'm sticking with the Octobrush Nouveau, probably for a bit. This is my second battle with it, and I obviously don't have the hang of it yet. Don't let that first splat fool you. But of course I don't have the hang of the brush yet, because it will take ...

A losing stream has me plummetting down the A+ Rank. That makes it time to try a new weapon! A brush, I think, and the Octobrush Nouveau looks like a decent option. I'll give it a go.
Of course, I take it out to Sheldon's trial zone first, but even though ...

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 ...

I usually have a rough idea of what I'm doing in relation to my team and the goal in most battles. This is not one of those battles.
I like to think I am contributing, by inking turf, forging paths, engaging the opposition, but it mostly feels like I am 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. ...

Splat Bombs explode sooner than Suction Bombs. That makes a difference in the first few seconds of this Rainmaker battle in Port Mackerel. It doesn't quite stop me getting splatted, though.
The Rainmaker is picked up and dropping immediately, and then left alone, for reasons unknown. I blast a path with ...
