Charger and charger in Tower Control (7-3, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, January 31st, 2017

I could sit on the charger perch for this battle, but I see the Kelp Splatterscope on the other team and think about trying to prevent her from putting pressure on our team. That also lets me ink the side of the building to help everyone's initial progress. The other charger ...

Decent defence in Tower Control (6-3, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, January 31st, 2017

Hullo, there's another charger on my team. I automatically assume they are better than me with a charger, particularly having the E-litre 3K equipped, and so rather than aim for a usual perch, I want to stay out of their way and instead see if I can be disruptive whilst ...

Supporting the team in Tower Control (5-1, Splatterscope)

Monday, January 30th, 2017

I don't quite make a Blaster work on Flounders Heights and Piranha Pit this evening, so swap out to the Splatterscope to end the evening. I am the typical Flounder Heights Splatterscope for this battle, loitering on the perch and taking care of the incoming Tower. I shouldn't really feel guilty ...

Missing my moment and making up for it in Tower Control (13-7, Tri-slosher)

Monday, January 30th, 2017

I remember quite late in the evening that the fastest way to the ramp on Piranha Pit is across the conveyer belt out of the base, and not across the side. Well, I manage to use it well this battle, getting a splat, but not finding the charger. I press ahead ...

Backwards and forwards in Tower Control (14-6, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, January 29th, 2017

No chargers on the yellow team in this Piranha Pit battle over Tower Control, so I ink some turf without feeling a need to rocket over the ramp. That comes after I sneak behind a Splash Wall, where I get another couple of splats, albeit to the detriment of my ...

Up and down in Flounder Heights Tower Control (8-2, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, January 29th, 2017

Only a Squiffer on the other team as a charger, so I don't feel in any great rush to cross the map and pressure the obvious perch. I don't dawdle, but I try to lay down some ink and charge my Bubbler a bit, and then I hear the Squiffer ...

Doing my own thing in Tower Control (8-4, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, January 28th, 2017

Flounder Heights and Piranha Pit Tower Control! Both fabulous maps for the Tri-slosher, which is where I start this evening. I have a plan, and that's to go up and over the top and around the back, to try to flank the green team. Naturally, the plan is hindered when I ...

Causing trouble in Tower Control (11-4, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, January 28th, 2017

I'll have a quick go with the bucket before I call it a night. I decide to go along a side route, which should give me good visibility of the Tower before I drop down in to trouble. All looks clear, and I'd like to cross the map to see ...

Getting involved in Tower Control (8-5, Splatterscope)

Friday, January 27th, 2017

I've learnt that I can travel down Moray Towers at the start of the battle more quickly with just a short charge of the Splatterscope. That's great! This is also the second battle in a row where I drop off the edge as I get to my perch. At least ...

Charger vs charger in Tower Control (6-4, Splatterscope)

Friday, January 27th, 2017

Yikes, an E-litre 3K Scope on the other team. I'm far from surprised, with both Arowana Mall and Moray Towers available for Tower Control. I just doubt my own ability with a charger most of the time, and when I am out-ranged significantly too I get a bit worried about ...
