So close to dropping out of S Rank! Will it finally happen? Maybe! If I get frustrated by inking the back of a squidmate's head more times. But that's just general frustrating rearing its head. The inkling didn't jump, and it's generally a bit chaotic as we all run away ...

I really don't think I'm good enough, or dedicated enough, or serious enough for S Rank Splatoon. But I give it a try, mostly.
At least in this Rainmaker battle I contribute to splats and inking turf, rather than simply being target practice for the other team.

I admit that I'm playing it safe with the Splattershot Jr. I could use a different weapon, but the Jr lets me be mobile and gives me a Bubbler for emergencies. I'll swap to something else once I'm a bit more comfortable.
This Rainmaker battle gets off to an amazing start. ...

I made it to S Rank. I'm not quite sure what to expect, except maybe an increase in skill levels of the other inklings. What I get is a huge increase in skill levels. Splatted by a charger through a tiny gap at the start of the map is unexpected.
But ...

I've worked out that going up to the centre of the platform in Kelp Dome on Rainmaker is a sure way to get splatted by its shield, and instead take one of the jutting columns. Much better.
If I can work out what can stop an Inkzooka splatting me, I think ...

What the hell are my team doing at the start of this Rainmaker battle? They go every which way but actually towards the Rainmaker. And there's a growing body of empirical evidence that all I'll manage to do at the start is get splatted. Oh well.
At least we get a ...

Oops, squids go through grates. It's almost like I don't know this. I get myself back in to position and hope I'm not too late to defend the Rainmaker. But I am a little. One splat, but then hit on two fronts. Never mind.
Chargers aren't just good for splatting inklings ...

Okay, I know what's happening at the beginning of this battle. It's pretty straightforward, and I am in the middle of it. The second push looks pretty clear too, right up until the Rainmaker is dunked on the podium. The animation plays and everything, but our inkling gets splatted and ...

Splat two inklings with the Rainmaker's shield, wait for someone to grab it, then miss them and get splatted from both sides. I'm not entirely sure what my squidmates were doing at the start of the battle.
As always, I could improve my aim, but I have fun with the Splatterscope, ...

Arowana Mall is a great place for chargers. We have two on our team, they have none. But what good is a charger as a suppressive weapon when no one wants to carry the Rainmaker. I suppose I'll do it.
Once I've shown that the Rainmaker is benign, my squidmates have ...
