Release the Kraken!

Thursday, December 31st, 2015

Titles for battles are difficult. There are only so many combinations of events that occur, even if the battles themselves are wonderfully dynamic. In this case, I encounter a couple of Krakens. Excellent, I think, when the second appears. At least I have a title for my video. I start at ...

Mucking around on Museum d'Alfonsino

Wednesday, December 30th, 2015

A change of scenery! Museum d'Alfonsino crops up in the Pineapple Splatfest. It's quite an open map, with some side routes, and just one way to cross the middle—up and across the central rotating platform. That's quite a pinch point, and as I show quite early, you need to watch ...

Wreaking havoc in Arowana Mall pt. 5

Tuesday, December 29th, 2015

The fun with the Kelp Splatterscope was good, but I want Pineapples to be recognised as tasty on a pizza, so I pull out the Splash-o-matic once more. Maybe we've already had too much havoc on Arowana Mall, but this last foray in to my wreaking it is perhaps the ...

Charging to defeat

Monday, December 28th, 2015

It's the following morning of the Splatfest. After an evening of wreaking havoc with the Splash-o-matic I decide to switch back to my Splatterscore. I know I can be useful on Arowana Mall, I've found good tactics for Kelp Dome, and there is a lot of open space on Museum ...

Wreaking havoc in Arowana Mall pt. 4

Sunday, December 27th, 2015

A defeat on Arowana Mall in Splatfest is nothing, really. It's a Splatfest after all, and there are titles to be earned. I queue up for the next game, and again it's in Arowana Mall. My standard opening move is nearly caught before I climb the side wall, and laying ...

It's a tough battle sometimes

Saturday, December 26th, 2015

Standard start, goes okay, some resistance down the alley, but at least I don't rush headlong in to my first splat. It takes a little more time than it often does. But as is usual when splatted initially, when I respawn I take some time to ink turf close to ...

Wreaking havoc in Arowana Mall pt. 3

Thursday, December 24th, 2015

More Splatfest Turf War on Arowana Mall, and with my Splash-o-Matic I am again wreaking havoc. My start is impeded slightly by trying to shoot ink through a fellow squid's head, but that's going to happen when we're all bunched up at the start. I quickly get on my way ...

Turning the tables

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2015

It's not just Arowana Mall being used for the Splatfest. The other two maps get plenty of inking too. I stick with my Splash-o-Matic, though, as the issue of liking pineapple on pizzas is too significant to muck around with a weapon I'm less comfortable with. In this Splatfest Turf ...

Wreaking havoc on Arowana Mall pt. 2

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2015

More havoc in Arowana Mall. My opening move with the Splash-o-matic is generally to get to the opponent's side of the map as quickly as possible, then, well, it all gets a bit fluid after that. There's not much you can predict in the average game. Having said that, a ...

Wreaking havoc on Arowana Mall pt. 1

Monday, December 21st, 2015

The latest Splatfest in the EU region happened recently. Splatfests are special party nights in Splatoon. A divisive topic is picked by the Squid Sisters, with Callie representing one side and Marie the other. Every squid then gets to side with either Callie or Marie, and then battle over who ...
