Hitting the front of the Splat Zones (5-0, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, June 30th, 2017

The second Seeker may not hit the gap in the ramp to the middle of Arowana Mall, but a decent flick and some support ink from behind gets me up to the Splat Zones nice and quickly. I hop towards the other ramp, and I'm ideally positioned to flick the ...

What did we do in Splat Zones (11-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, June 30th, 2017

I do my usual move at the start of Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones with the Carbon Roller Deco, moving through our Splat Zone and preparing for an incursion to the other side, but holding to secure our Splat Zone first. I decide to press across the bridge a little earlier ...

Sent home from Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones (13-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, June 29th, 2017

Letting loose with the second Seeker as soon as possible towards the Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones lets me regain maximum ink by the time I get there. A little thing, but it's good to consider. The consecutive Seekers let us squid almost all the way there too, making it nice ...

Shooting blanks in Splat Zones (12-7, Grim Range Blaster)

Thursday, June 29th, 2017

There's a bit of a pause as Camp Triggerfish floats below, which doesn't bode well. I would shrug it off, except two squidmates get a head-start, which suggests this could be a bit of a dodgy battle. Still, best not to think about it just yet, and I get a ...

Stalking the Splat Zones (7-3, Grim Range Blaster)

Wednesday, June 28th, 2017

Phew, my aim's all over the place right at the start, inking my way towards the Splat Zones. I am hopping to try to maintain some forward momentum, but I recall that jumping also decreases your accuracy. As my aim is already bad enough, maybe I should walk more. What's ...

Being a menace in Tower Control (14-5, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, June 28th, 2017

I wonder if the Bento Splatterscope will be on the obvious perch to start the battle. And I wonder if I can get around to it unscathed. Yep! I hop over the perch to look for inklings in the sea of purple ink, and almost bump in to one. I ...

Forward support in Tower Control (9-2, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, June 27th, 2017

Less forward and more sideways to start with. I kind of saunter over there too, not really rushing, both wanting to build a bit of charge in to my Bubbler and wanting to see if anyone is coming on the teal team. Yes, one is, and a Disruptor catches him ...

Tenacity in Tower Control (7-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, June 27th, 2017

The green team push up pretty aggressively to start the battle, and I feel a bit impotent against the two-pronged approach. That isn't helped by a mistimed jump/Seeker throw that does nothing. At least I time my jump in to the Killer Wail a bit better, although it's frustrating to ...

Almost across the bridge in Tower Control (12-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, June 26th, 2017

I can get to the Tower on Hammerhead Bridge pretty quickly as a Carbon roller, but as a Carbon Roller I'm not sure that I should be getting there quickly. Still, that Seeker does a good job, I avoid a Suction Bomb, and we take an early if insignificant lead. ...

Distracting the opposition in Tower Control (16-7, Tri-slosher)

Monday, June 26th, 2017

I head for the flank to get behind the orange team immediately, and am glad that the Inkbrush moves a bit faster than me, putting her around the corner and somewhat unaware of me initially. From there, and a little conscious of how many orange inklings have been splatted, and ...
