All looks fairly standard at the start of this battle. A bit of a tussle for control of the turf, one team grabs the Rainmaker and makes progress, the other team tries to claw their way back. But this is not a normal battle.

Nope. The blue team could easily win ...

The Soda Slosher should work well on Flounder Heights, as long as I actually get up to the top of the Heights and slosh downwards. Which I almost do near the start, but after a couple faltering climbs.
At least I survive the initial onslaught, but at what cost? The green ...

I ponder my weapon options for Rainmaker, and decide on the Soda Slosher. Its spread isn't as good as the Tri-slosher, but it has a little extra range, and the Inkzooka should help with inking paths for the Rainmaker. If we ever get the Rainmaker.
One splat in to the battle ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
