Stymied by an inky tower in Tower Control (16-10, Tri-slosher)

Friday, September 15th, 2017

I'm aiming to jump the conveyer belt and slosh the Kelp Splatterscope on the normal perch, but my squid-sense tingles as a Seeker zooms past me. I turn and get a nice early splat, before enacting my plan. Maybe it's good that I wasn't first to make the jump, as ...

Mostly Sprinkler splats in Tower Control (11-8, Kelp Splatterscope)

Friday, September 15th, 2017

I'm sure if I practice enough, I'll be good with a charger one day. I'm also sure Splatoon 2 will be released first. But at least at my ranks, some other chargers have similar aim to me, and my first exchange with the Splatterscope ends in a no-score draw. Moving ...

Sneakiness around the Splat Zones (14-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, September 8th, 2017

The initial battle looks to be over our Splat Zone. But I suppose it would, as that's where I am. We mostly have to fend off the occasional Suction Bomb, whilst I try to work out when it's safe to push forwards. I don't make the best decision. I take ...

Lots of splats in the lower ranks of Tower Control (15-5, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, August 27th, 2017

My losing streak/skill degradation/poor choices continue, and not even switching to the Tri-slosher can stop my falling in to the B+ rank. Still, I'm confident the bucket can get me back out of there pretty quickly. I'm helped a little by one inkling apparently trying to tank his ranking, turning up ...

Can't stop me sloshing in Splat Zones (16-9, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, June 4th, 2017

It's just me in our Splat Zones, conscientiously capturing it. That's got to be a first. I even get a splat before I'm splatted. Not by much, but it's something. A good Disruptor throw hits something on my return, and upwards sloshing destroys a Sprinkler and catches a jumping inkling. ...

Getting a streak in Splat Zones (8-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, June 2nd, 2017

Four Wasabi Splattershots split across the two teams. I guess they're popular. One splats me near the start, but with a Splat Bomb on a conveyer belt that I simply can't get away from. I get close to being splatted by another, but a squidmate saves me, and I perhaps ...

Fierce fight over the Splat Zones (10-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, June 2nd, 2017

That's a good dive away from a chasing Burst Bomb, even if I end up rolling in to a block. The battle over our Splat Zone begins, the other team getting in to a stronger position early. I loiter near the ramp, hoping to splat an inkling and take the ...

Last-ditch effort in Splat Zones (14-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, May 22nd, 2017

I'm careful not to get in our charger's way whilst he's aiming, and that first purple inkling takes a bit of ink to splat him, but we're on our way. The second inkling is hiding in plain sight, just squidin' on the ground, and I'm a bit lucky that our ...

Tough battle in the Splat Zones (10-8, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, May 21st, 2017

I can tell this battle is going to be tough from the team compositions. Two chargers, a bucket, and a roller for us, three shooters and a charger for them. It's going to be rough for us. Still, it's a fairly standard start, as I help ink our Splat Zone ...

Ninja Squidding around the Splat Zones (12-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

Saturday, April 29th, 2017

I've had a string of battles where we've been overrun, and I'm feeling a bit tense. The early splat after an unstable connection warning is not helping. But I keep a stiff upper lip and battle on, for the team. I shift to a defensive role immediately, and see that we ...
