Trying the N-ZAP '89 in Splat Zones (3-1, N-ZAP '89)

Monday, July 10th, 2017

Okay, I've used the N-ZAP before, but not for ages and not for much. It does seem to be my nemesis when wielding the Tri-slosher, though, and with a Sprinkler and Inkstrike, the N-ZAP '89 looks to be a good choice for Splat Zones. I'll take it out for a ...

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. ...

Quite a splatty Splat Zones (12-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, June 9th, 2017

I would say that my Seeker work at the start of the battle isn't as good as the other team's, but give it another second and there we go, the splat was sought after all. And as that inkling is trying to come up our flank, I head that way ...

Just about keeping the Splat Zones (9-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, June 9th, 2017

That looks like some Rapid Blasting coming from around the corner. I shouldn't run in to it, but I don't always do what's good for me. I get a couple of half-decent flicks at the inkling, but they stay standing. I hope it's not going to be one of those ...

A few splats in Squad Splat Zones (4-1, Tri-slosher)

Monday, June 5th, 2017

Time for some more Squad battles with Acethunder. I don't know who Craig is, sorry, he jumped on when Acethunder briefly disappeared, and I wasn't paying attention. It's a bit hit-and-miss as to the opposition, with some being around our rank, but there also often being S or S+ ranked ...

Twice the splats in Rainmaker (14-7, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, May 16th, 2017

Will a Seeker drive over the podium? I give it a go, because the launch routes from the base are limited, and it does. That's handy. Otherwise pushing forwards with a Seeker at the start of this battle goes a bit awry, and an Echolocator discourages me from going far ...

Rushing to the goal in Rainmaker (3-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, May 16th, 2017

Okay, some stuff happens in this battle, but I'm less interested in that than the results. We have a level 18 inkling go 11-2 with a Splattershot Jr, when the rest of the team doesn't get more than 3 splats. That can only be a smurf, an experienced player starting ...

Some splats in Rainmaker (13-6, Tri-slosher)

Monday, May 15th, 2017

I wasn't taking a look around as the battle starts, my cat had just brought in a mouse and I managed to get it isolated and safe before rushing back to my Gamepad. I didn't miss much, and I don't get splatted by the Rainmaker's Shield. A little to-and-fro with Point ...

Being brushed aside in Tower Control (9-4, Blaster)

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2017

I'm continuing with the Blaster, as I think I'm quite enjoying it. It is certainly forcing me to play more sensibly, as the fire-rate is slow enough that I have to make each shot count, and if I rush forwards I will either have to be very good with my ...
