Around the back to the goal in Tower Control (4-1, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, October 21st, 2017

If I move quickly enough, I may be able to get around the back of that E-litre 3K before she gets settled on her perch. I squid nice and quickly to the centre of the Mall, and am not interrupted heading around the back. But where's the E-litre 3K? There ...

Turning my fortune around in Splat Zones (5-2, Fresh Squiffer)

Saturday, October 21st, 2017

That blue Splattershot pulls off a couple of good moves to splat me twice. The first time he inks a path to squid through the Suction Bombs I'm trying to use to keep him at bay, giving him a clear shot. The second time, he sees me sensibly avoid his ...

Being useless until the end in Rainmaker (1-5, Tri-slosher)

Friday, October 20th, 2017

I don't think that squidbagging is deserved at the start of the battle, but whatever. At least my squidmates do a bit better, pushing the Rainmaker a bit, and I try to keep it going, but I don't get too far when a Splat Bomb lands next to me as ...

Having fun being bad with the Fresh Squiffer in Rainmaker (8-6, Fresh Squiffer)

Friday, October 20th, 2017

My Fresh Squiffer versus the E-litre 3K. Who could possibly win this match-up?! Well, the E-litre 3K would, if I tried to take her on conventionally. Luckily, I don't, and remember my Suction Bombs and other neat things like hiding behind walls. The other Squiffer is a complication, but I ...

More hits than misses in Splat Zones (15-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, October 19th, 2017

If I had a bucket, I'd be looking for that E-litre first thing. But I don't, and it would be crazy to try it with a Carbon Roller, so I just ink some turf sensibly. I try to stay out of trouble too, but, as is always the case in ...

It's all about the Splat Zones (12-3 Tri-slosher)

Thursday, October 19th, 2017

Squidding across the Underpass to splat the Jet Squelcher is a fun start to the battle, and although we lose initial control of the Splat Zones I turn around to give them some ink immediately after the splat. Purple ink comes from both directions, so it's good that my Bubbler ...

Teamwork wins in Splat Zones (15-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, October 18th, 2017

There's some good conflict in and around the Splat Zones to start the battle. They turn purple first, but we get some splats and make the Splat Zones green pretty quickly. Rolling back around and seeing an inkling squid in to the ink lets me get a rare squish with ...

No shooters, please, it's Splat Zones (10-3, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, October 18th, 2017

The other team has brought a shooter to a non-shooter battle. That's not very sporting. I also see the Hydra Splatling. I think I can move more quickly than those weapons and get the drop on them, so slosh my way across the Splat Zones and am pleased when I ...

Sliding off in Tower Control (8-3, Grim Range Blaster)

Tuesday, October 17th, 2017

I think about hitting the left flank, but jink to the centre so that I don't get in the way of our Splatterscope. That works for me anyway, and I help hold our turf in the early stages of the battle. With the Tower neutralised, I hop on and start ...

Turning the Tower around in Tower Control (8-3, Grim Range Blaster)

Tuesday, October 17th, 2017

Two N-ZAPs and a slosher on the other team makes me worried, more so because I'm giving the Grim Range Blaster another go for Tower Control, which requires me to aim. I decide to hit the flank first, because why not, and although no one is on the container when ...
