Having used the Tri-slosher for so long, with it's splayed sloshing, I am not quite yet used to the Slosher's more narrow sloshing arc. It's great at inking a path, and covering turf, but I have to be a bit more accurate to get splats. Still, I have used a ...

I've dropped out of S Rank, but the battles don't really seem to get much easier. Well, maybe they do, kinda. They get more to my level, which keeps them challenging without being stressful.
Rainmaker today, with Flounder Heights and Port Mackerel. An excellent combination all around, and I'll stick with ...

After a couple of average battles, I get to one where I simply can't get a foothold. I am out-classed, can't even hold turf, and am splatted from unexpected directions too often for me to be having any fun.
My mood drops steadily, until I finally have had enough. I can't ...

That E-litre 3K was in the previous battle. I don't rate my chances of survival in this one. But I spy her early and try to sneak a splat, which, naturally, doesn't go my way.
I regroup, though, which I have to do by myself, because my squidmates have taken the ...

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 ...

More morale-destroying losses in S-Rank Rainmaker follow the previous battle. But I persevere. I have to, or I'll never drop out of S Rank, or never play Ranked battles again.
A decent first splat is followed by inching off my perch. Oops. I exercise caution and don't press forwards to the ...

I'm getting stomped in S Rank again. I could swap to a different weapon, but I'm sticking with the Splatterscope and either going to improve, or going to drop out of S Rank.
Of course, there is a third option of not really improving, but occasionally having a decent battle, and ...

Chargers versus shooters in Rainmaker. Not a great match-up, but so it goes.
There is a royal rumble in the centre of Arowana Mall to start with, where I also get a nice and lucky splat on the Rainmaker to begin. But so much ink is flying it doesn't look safe.
When ...

Whee, the Tri-slosher! What a lovely, silly, effective weapon. Quick moving, low-aiming, disrupting. It bags me two splats at the start of the battle, and only loses a third because of a Splash Wall.
I keep on splatting, even avoiding a Roller, thankfully, but I'm sure he'll get me back. I'm ...

Okay, I'm swapping the Splatterscope for a different weapon. The Splattershot Jr? No, the Tri-slosher, I think. I'm sure I can do some damage with the bucket. Or I can squid in to the laser sight of an E-litre 3K quite effectively.
More precaution needed. So, of course, I spot the ...
