Applying pressure in Rainmaker (8-7, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, February 18th, 2017

Oop, I nearly get too close to the Rainmaker's shield at the start, but I hang back and nick it off the teal team to get an early, but slight lead. They come back immediately, beating my measly metres, and I both show some restraint to get a splat, and ...

Saving it at the end in Rainmaker (10-8, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, February 18th, 2017

I don't think it benefits me and my bucket to get anywhere fast on Hammerhead Bridge in Rainmaker. I slow down a bit, inking turf, building my Special's charge, and still get caught out by an inkling. I've never been a fan of jumping either. At least I survive the next ...

Splats all around in Rainmaker (11-7, Tri-slosher)

Friday, February 17th, 2017

I like Walleye Warehouse, and I like running around the back on Walleye Warehouse. But will it work on more experienced inklings? It doesn't look like it. I almost but not quite get a splat, and whilst I do nothing the other team takes an early lead. My Bubbler is ready ...

Hits and misses in Rainmaker (11-9, Tri-slosher)

Friday, February 17th, 2017

Back in S Rank, woe is me. But I'll try to stay optimistic. For this venture, I'll stick with my Tri-slosher, and see if I can hold my own on occasion with the bucket. The battle doesn't start well, as I am easily spotted by two inklings as I try to ...

Taking care of the Splat Zones (5-0, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, February 16th, 2017

The bucket is working well for me tonight. Maybe I'm bucketing smarter, not harder. I think that's the case in this battle. I refuse to be sucked in to pointless squabbles or petty revenge, and look after myself first and the Splat Zones second. I make good use of my Bubbler, which ...

Bad to better in Splat Zones (10-3, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, February 16th, 2017

To hell with the Splat Zones! Kinda! I want to get around the back of the other team, surprise splat them, and let us have some time alone with the Splat Zones. My strategy doesn't really go according to plan. The alternative route works a bit better, and we get control ...

Doing just enough in Splat Zones (12-3, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, February 15th, 2017

I can get to the Tower in Blackbelly Skatepark quickly, and I think that should serve me well in Splat Zones, particularly with a Tri-slosher. But my ink doesn't quite slosh down on the Roller coming up, and it's a Carbon Roller, so I get splatted pretty quickly. I should ...

Ups and downs in Tower Control (12-10, Blaster)

Wednesday, February 15th, 2017

I enjoy the Tri-slosher and Splatterscope so much I forget that the Blaster can work well in Tower Control. I sometimes remember, though, and tonight I give the Blaster an outing. I use its explosive ink to bag a couple of splats at the start, although ink from above gets ...

Some good splatting in Splat Zones (11-3, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, February 14th, 2017

I find out in a previous battle that my perch isn't quite as safe from a dedicated Octobrush as I would like. That won't stop me from using it, but in this battle I aim to be a bit more mobile, attempting to hold the centre ground but covering more ...

Flying splats in Splat Zones (7-3, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, February 14th, 2017

I found my Splatterscope Splat Zones spot on Museum d'Alfonsino the other day, and I'm going to use it again today. It's useful because I can cover over half the Splat Zone whilst keeping relatively safe, and aware of the main assault channel. I can't quite stay up where it's safest, ...
