Follow that Seeker! Our speed doesn't help us burst the Rainmaker's shield, but it doesn't seem to matter that the green team do it. Nor does it seem to matter much that I can't hit anything early on. I give up on splatting inklings, and go for the open Rainmaker ...

Holding back to start with seems to work quite well. Even if we lose early control, it's easily got back when the other team are splatted away. A bit of luck helps too, like the Splatterscope just missing my dangly ear. I wisely stay away from him, and head across ...

It is a nice move to get around the side of the platform to start with, and nearly gets me the drop on an inkling, but once I was spotted I should have moved backwards. So it goes. I look more towards the Splat Zones on my return, which helps, ...

My little bucket can reach quite far from the top of the Depot, managing to cover an entire quadrant of the Splat Zones. That's not enough, though, so when I spot a target I dive down, Disrupt, and get a bit lucky not to be splatted. I run with that ...

Hammerhead Bridge is a bit busy with obstacles. I don't consider there to be any great reasons to dash ahead, so I take it slow and steady, building a path, and some charge for my Bubbler. I then use cover sensibly, and try not to give away my intentions with ...

My reticence at the start of the battle is because we have a smurf on our team. I don't like battling with or against smurfs, in much the same way that I wouldn't like to play Rugby against the Welsh national team. I'm just not that good and don't like ...

Ah, Saltspray Rig Splat Zones. Is there a more brutal map for Splat Zones? Probably not! I quite like it because of this, even if the winner is generally decided by whoever captures the Splat Zones first. I decide to try to sneak around the teal team to start with, ...

It's a rough start to the battle. I don't do myself any favours by dashing in to the line of fire in the middle of the Splat Zones, helping them turn orange, and at least I get a couple of splats to ease some of the pressure before I begin ...

My attempt to flank the purple team works well, in that I get behind them, but that Splattershot Jr is on the ball. Heading down the other corridor as a second option could have gone badly, nearly dropping on to a Kraken, but I make it to the end as ...

I don't recklessly grab the Rainmaker immediately, and keep checking to see if we're about to be flanked. It's a shame I miss the green ink in the background, but ultimately I don't think it matters. I also don't purposely pick up the Rainmaker, managing to inexpertly squid through the ...
