Nothing's working in Spongebob Splatfest (1014p, 0-5, Slosher)

Monday, October 31st, 2016

Another change of weapon, because my previous team was feeling a little mediocre. This time, I'm back to a bucket, but with the standard Slosher. It has an Inkstrike, and probably a sub-weapon that I forget about. Mostly, the slosher should be good at covering turf without my needing to get ...

Not sucking qute so hard in Spongebob Splatfest (1101p, 3-4, Wasabi Splattershot)

Monday, October 31st, 2016

Okay, I couldn't get the Tri-slosher to work, or the Splatterscope, or the Dual Squelcher. What's left? The Wasabi Splattershot was pretty good when I tried it the other day in Splat Zones, so it could be good in Turf War. And I think it is, or it could be. The ...

Doing my best in Spongebob Splatfest (889p, 0-3, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, October 30th, 2016

I think your Rank affects your teams in Splatfests now. That's unfortunate, because I'm really not an S-Rank player, but am stuck in S Rank as the Splatfest begins. And I'm having a rough time in these Turf Wars. I've already tried the stalwart Splattershot Jr, the Berry Splattershot Pro, and ...

Mostly sucking at Splat Zones (6-8, Wasabi Splattershot)

Sunday, October 30th, 2016

I've been battling with the Splatterscope mostly out of spite, thinking it would suck me out of S Rank quicker, but I appear to be treading water. Fine, I'll mix it up, so that things don't get stale, and try some new weapons. And not just my previous weapons, but some ...

Finding our own way of having fun in Rainmaker (2-9, Splatterscope)

Saturday, October 29th, 2016

After a couple of average battles, I get to one where I simply can't get a foothold. I am out-classed, can't even hold turf, and am splatted from unexpected directions too often for me to be having any fun. My mood drops steadily, until I finally have had enough. I can't ...

Efficient squidmates in Rainmaker (1-2, Splatterscope)

Saturday, October 29th, 2016

That E-litre 3K was in the previous battle. I don't rate my chances of survival in this one. But I spy her early and try to sneak a splat, which, naturally, doesn't go my way. I regroup, though, which I have to do by myself, because my squidmates have taken the ...

Making up for an earlier mistake in Rainmaker (6-6, Splatterscope)

Friday, October 28th, 2016

First battle of the evening, and I get caught up a bit in a charger showdown. I don't know why, I'm likely to lose. It also means I have no idea where the Rainmaker is, because I'm not looking at either the progress meter at the top of the screen or ...

Getting inky in Rainmaker (5-3, Splatterscope)

Friday, October 28th, 2016

More morale-destroying losses in S-Rank Rainmaker follow the previous battle. But I persevere. I have to, or I'll never drop out of S Rank, or never play Ranked battles again. A decent first splat is followed by inching off my perch. Oops. I exercise caution and don't press forwards to the ...

Making an effort in S-Rank Rainmaker (7-4, Splatterscope)

Thursday, October 27th, 2016

I'm getting stomped in S Rank again. I could swap to a different weapon, but I'm sticking with the Splatterscope and either going to improve, or going to drop out of S Rank. Of course, there is a third option of not really improving, but occasionally having a decent battle, and ...

Unintentionally ruining Turf War for the newsquids (1310p, 12-0, Splatterscope)

Thursday, October 27th, 2016

A friend has actually bought a Wii U and Splatoon after all my badgering! This means we can play together. I join his Turf War battle. There are only two problems. The first is that we are not on the same team. It does mean I get to splat him, though, ...
