"Ranked battle report! Sounds like ranked battle is an intense multiplayer mode for Inklings who are super serious about tracking wins and losses and trying to improve their rank. Weve also gotten word that the Turf War matches weve been talking a lot about will be officially classified as regular battles. Ranked or regular, both sound really rawesome to this researcher! Roo hoo!"
And another update:
"Splat Zones report! Weve gotten some new intel about the ranked battle mode called Splat Zones. Apparently the goal is to splatter set areas, or zones, with enough ink to gain control (unlike Turf War, in which youre fighting to ink everything in sight!). As the two teams fight for control of a stages Splat Zones, it sounds like things can get pretty intense! Sounds kinda like us here in lab fighting over the good stapler!"
