One squid goes puff as we enter Ancho-V Games.
A second disappears as the stage pans a second time.
The third decides he doesn't like the odds.

What's a squid to do? Put on a brave face and battle anyway? Or have a small squid party?

The Soda Slosher is a nifty weapon. I need to get used to the Inkzooka, although I do seem to get some easy-mode splats just by firing it, which is fun. It also sloshes ink everywhere, much as it is supposed to, which is good for Splat Zones.
I do miss ...

I'm trying a new bucket, the Soda Slosher, for Splat Zones. The Slosher has worked well for me in Splat Zones before, and I really just want to try a new weapon.
The Splat Bomb sub is familiar enough, but I've never really got to grips with the Inkzooka. I suppose ...

I've been battling with the Splatterscope mostly out of spite, thinking it would suck me out of S Rank quicker, but I appear to be treading water. Fine, I'll mix it up, so that things don't get stale, and try some new weapons.
And not just my previous weapons, but some ...

Walleye Warehouse can be good for the Splatterscope, particularly in Splat Zones, where you can hang back and ink the turf relatively safely. That is, until you are flanked by inklings going down the side routes. It's a good map.
I try to hold back and keep myself safe, which is ...

Splat Zones, with Port Mackerel and Walleye Warehouse. I think the Splatterscope could be useful here. In other tentacles, perhaps, but I'm sticking with the 'scope whilst I remain in S-Rank battles.
My first battle of the session is on Port Mackerel, where I have definite tactics, mostly to stay on ...

One victory with the Splatterscope is followed by a horrid loss. The other team were very well coordinated. So it goes, and I could use some losses to drop my rank in A+ a bit. And I could use the practice with the Splatterscope. I used to get a bunch ...

Sunday, October 23rd, 2016
I've had a run of victories with the Tri-slosher, and am getting dangerously close to S Rank again. I can't have that, so I swap back to the Splatterscope, partly for practice, partly because I think I'll fare worse than with the Tri-slosher and maybe get some losses.
Not that I ...

The tactic to squid up the middle didn't work as planned in the previous battle, but that doesn't mean it isn't sound. I gather more evidence, and maybe it isn't the best idea.
Plan B is to rain ink down on our captured Splat Zone from the fence, and that works ...

More Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones. I try a new tactic for the start of this battle, squidding right down the middle and through our Splat Zone to falnk the enemy a different way.
The plan works initially, helped by the good inking of my squidmates, but I am spotted and awaited ...
