The day I hit A-, I was playing the Custom Jet Squelcher in Splat Zones. One of the maps in rotation was Port Mackeral, which I LOVE with the Jet Squelcher. Its range lets me absolutely dominate the narrow alleys and apply great pressure throughout the match. Anyway, I felt like my team was dominating when suddenly we fell behind. Only slightly, but time was ticking and we needed to push to claim their zone before too long. So I went to the right alley that led to their zone and ran head-on into another Inking. I pressured him out of the alley and he hit his Bomb Rush, completely dousing the area in bombs. I swam up my very narrow path of ink through the maelstrom (This is why Swim Speed Up is important kids/squids!) and came flying out of the ally at him, removing him from the game without a scratch on myself. Sooooo satisfying. Afterward I tried to flip their zone when one of his teammates came after me and I managed to kill him on the zone despite having almost no ink, finally flipping it. I then was able to start a spawn camp and keep everyone at bay in the alleys while my team advanced with me and we coasted to a knockout.
I don't remember if it was that game, but the same evening I went 18-5. It was a good night.
