Being useful in S-rank Splat Zones [13(6)-8, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Wednesday, January 31st, 2018

I'm reluctant to get too involved too quickly in S-rank battles, as I'm not entirely convinced I belong here. Still, holding back and providing some foundational support is generally useful, and sending the odd Robo Chicken to the other side to pressure the charger almost always helps. I admire one Robo ...

Rough at sea in Salmon Run [21-18-25, 16/317]

Wednesday, January 31st, 2018

I love me a bit of Splash-o-matic. Naturally, the first few bosses are splatted smoothly enough, and it's only pausing to do more than is needed that causes a bit of a build up. Still, you can't complain about an abundance of Scrappers and the odd Steel Eel, as that's ...

Too little focus on Tower Control [15(3)-6, Tri-slosher]

Tuesday, January 30th, 2018

Some good sloshing clears the way to ride the Tower in safety for a bit, but only for a bit. I hop off to try ease the pressure a bit more, helped along by a direct hit from the Splatterscope off my Ink Armour, and get the splats I need. ...

Splats all around in Tower Control [11(2)-6, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Tuesday, January 30th, 2018

My Bomb-throwing still needs work, although if I can ever pull off a wall-bounce trick shot with a Robo Chicken I'll claim it was intentional. I get a bit lucky against the Splattershot Pro when chasing the initial Tower push, but maybe karma is quickly paying me back for covering ...

Up to S Rank in Splat Zones [6-3, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Monday, January 29th, 2018

I mostly hold back and let my squidmates do the dangerous inking, but playing my part by solidifying our foundational ink, and holding the central turf once we capture the Splat Zones. As our spearhead is splatted, I ensure the Splat Zones aren't washed over in green goo, and even ...

Inking the kelp in Splat Zones [7(3)-1, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Monday, January 29th, 2018

Kelp Dome is back! I had a quick look around in recon mode, and the changes look positive, and not major enough to confuse me. As such, I take a standard indirect route to the Splat Zones, just to be cautious, and catch a cheeky bugger trying to out-flank us. ...

Blasting ahead in Tower Control [11(3)-6, Blaster]

Sunday, January 28th, 2018

I battled with the Blaster a fair bit before, and I think it's worth seeing how I fare with it now. Not too great, to be honest, because I have to aim well at close range, but this is why we practice. The Toxic Mist comes in handy and doesn't ...

Splooshing it up in Rainmaker [17(2)-6, Sploosh-o-matic]

Sunday, January 28th, 2018

Back to the Sploosh-o-matic for some Rainmaker, and this time with a nifty Ninja Squid jacket. I like it from the start, the Curling Bomb being Seeker-like, and squidding around the edge to patrol for inklings to splat. I even hit the flank to make a potential path for the ...

Playing to the whistle in Splat Zones [13(6)-8, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Saturday, January 27th, 2018

An early precaution of not inking the Splat Zones but the ramp to the left of me pays off, and keeping to the sides keeps me unsplatted for long enough that the orange Splat Zones turn teal soon enough. We take the lead, and I patrol the edges to try ...

Robot chickens everywhere in Splat Zones [6(2)-3, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Saturday, January 27th, 2018

Two Custom Splattershot Jrs and an Octobrush on our team, one Custom Splattershot Jr, an Octobrush, plus a Carbon Roller on the blue team, adds up to a lot of Robo Chickens. And we all like using them. The little automatons start flying as soon as we get close to ...
