2-10 with the Dual Squelcher. At least one of those splats was on the Rainmaker, almost on top of our podium, but I'm just feeling like I'm outclassed in Ranked play still. It's difficult to improve when you're suppressed so effectively in many battles.
Still, I seize an opportunity late in ...

The battle starts with our team missing a squid. I think we know which way the battle is going to go, but there's nothing to do but give it the best of British.
We put up a good struggle, given the circumstances, and I even think we have a chance of ...

0-11 with the Splatterscope, but I carry the Rainmaker 7 times (once by accident), and do a pretty good job of avoiding the Killer Wails.

Even with my performance with the charger, I am pleased with my contribution to the battle.

Tip: don't jump in front of a charger trying to lay down an ink path.
Tip: don't squid away quite so enthusiastically without first checking that you do, in fact, have the Rainmaker.
Tip: don't walk slowly up to a Splash Wall if you are equipped with a charger. This is when ...

Not all the mistakes are made by me, but I reckon a good portion of them are. It's my first game of the evening, I've made the bold choice of the Splatterscope in Mahi Mahi Resort, and I turn out to be playing against players obviously better than me.

I'm definitely an aggressive player, and this becomes fairly obvious in Rainmaker. I imagine my squidmates would prefer I occasionally wait for them to get ahead and splat the opponents or lay down a trail of ink. It would probably be a good idea too sometimes.

The maps in rotation are Port Mackerel and Flounder Heights. Both rather different. I could use the Splatterscope on the Port, and a Tri-slosher at the heights, but we don't get to choose the map out of the two. I plump for the Tri-slosher to start with, the Nouveau version ...

An early lead is demolished quite convincingly in this Rainmaker battle on Camp Triggerfish. Thank goodness for the brave squids who stopped their lightning advance and then sacrificed themselves in the water to reset the Rainmaker.

We get close again, but it's not close enough. How can it be, without actually ...

Not me, but I like to think I helped. At least by splatting the Rainmaker carrier at some point, and at the end with my Splat Bomb Rush.

There really wasn't much time to do much else. My squidmates were on top of it.
That battle is pretty short, so let's add ...

15-8 with a Splatterscope on Rainmaker? You wouldn't think that my Gamepad's low-battery light came on near the start of the game. Well, except for the excessive spinning of the camera when I try to get the power adapter plugged in between splats.

I'm glad Saltspray Rig has been fixed/adapted for ...
