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.

A pretty good Rainmaker battle for me, particularly using the Splatterscope. We make a couple of good pushes forward, and hold the centre fairly well.
When we have the lead, and the end of the game nears, a squidmate grabs the Rainmaker and heads backwards, no doubt to keep the Rainmaker ...

Back to the Splatterscope for Rainmaker, a dubious move for me, and I clearly don't have an opening strategy for Saltspray Rig yet. But I do like grabbing hold of the Rainmaker! And riding the platforms with a charger is a silly amount of fun.
How did I sneak a splat ...

I'm pretty sure I've never played Rainmaker on Saltspray Rig before. I think there were problems with the map. Anyway, my inexperience probably shows, as I didn't take a minute to recon the map and its changes before plunging in, with my Splatterscope no less.

Far from my best battle in Splat Zones, but I like to think that at least I made a good showing of myself. I feel I splatted a lot of ink around in the right places, even if my aim is still a bit dodgy.

A couple more losses, even after ...

I'm not sure I helped too much in this Splat Zones battle, but I'll take the ranking points. I need them.

Well, I suppose I took out that Sprinkler. Not the Splash Wall, though. And I did give a morale-boosting 'Nice!' at the end. I'm sure that counts as contributing.

Just when I think I'm getting the hang of Splat Zones, it all starts going wrong. The opponents push forwards, get their specials charged, and I'm flushed out of a comfortable perch.

Not a bad result for me as a squid, but we perhaps could have kept the lead. Maybe I'm ...

Piranha Pit is such a good new map. The conveyer belts add a dynamic element, there are corners to run and hide around, and perches that give chargers just enough of a view without having them dominate.
The battle for Splat Zones in Piranha Pit works well too. Access to your ...
