My plan is to go after that Splatterscope at the start of the battle. I think I know a quick way to the perch. My plan works too! I splat the Splatterscope, and get a second splat when moving on. My squidmates even get the Rainmaker and advance it healthily.
Getting ...

I'm eschewing the temptation to equip the Splatterscope initially for Arowana Mall, instead opting for the Splattershot Jr. I should be more mobile and, with the Bubbler, more resilient. If I remember the Bubbler, that is.
I don't mean to pick up the Rainmaker that first time. I was just going ...

Finally, I have a game where I get in to some kind of groove. Sure, I chase the E-litre 3K around for longer than I probably should have (how many times do I have to hit him anyway?), but at least I get rid of his piercing laser beam from ...

This turns out to be the last game of the session for me. I simply can't take being crushed any more tonight.
I try to be less reckless, more cautious, adopt a support role at times, try to advance the objective when possible, but I'm just useless. The team wins in ...

Somehow staying in S Rank, I battle on. But I don't know why. Actually, I do know why: in the hopes of dropping out of S Rank again, if I lose enough. But losing battles isn't much fun when you're being stomped every game.
I've tried several different weapons, and none ...

I know I say I'm not a camper, but I also admit that I play aggressively. I find Bluefin Depot offers a good challenge for getting near the other team's base, as there is really only one route, and it is up an uninkable, unsquiddable grate. I like getting up ...

More Turf War! The Splattershot Jr for me this time, with my natty new hat. I'm looking pretty fresh, this is going to be a good battle.
I ink turf to ink turf, but also to charge my Special. Once charged, it's up to the top to engage the pink team. ...

Still stuck in S-Rank frustration, I'm back to giving the battle a solid go. I want to play Splatoon, I just don't want it to be quite so serious. Not much chance in S Rank, though.
Either way, I'm going to have to adjust to the circumstances, or make the circumstances ...

I had no joy with the Custom Blaster in S-Rank Tower Control, so I revert to the Splattershot Jr.
Straight up the centre and on to the tower, somehow not getting splatted by the charger on his perch.
I keep riding the tower, my squidmates taking care of the other team, and ...

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.
