Splatfest Pokemon! I'm starting with the Splash-o-Matic, just to get myself back in the frame-of-mind for Turf War. I get a cheeky first splat deep in opposition territory, then get splatted for being a bit cocky.
The route works well the first time, so why not keep doing it? I keep ...

Another Splatfest! Let's blast through the battles. To ease myself in to the Ninja vs Barbarian Splatfest, I take my old favourite in to battle, the Splash-o-Matic.
I adopt my old techniques too. Half sneaking around the side routes, half running headlong in to trouble. I do try to be a ...

This battle doesn't start out well. The different turf textures make me misjudge a jump, and it's straight in to the water. I hope my squidmates aren't relying on me.
The splats just keep on coming. And not my splatting them, but my being splatted. At least I lay down a ...

Back to the Splash-o-Matic, the weapon I was most comfortable with for a long time. Let's see what I can do with its straight firing line and Suction Bomb Rush.
And immediately I find a squid on the other team who is better with it than me. I try to remedy ...

My Rainmaker battles keep frustrating me. Lots of skilled squids out to make me lose the coveted A rank tonight, it seems. Swapping weapons isn't helping, so I revert to a battle of Turf War just to feel like I can actually play well.
That doesn't go to plan at first. ...

Not much of a first look any more, as Piranha Pit was released at the end of December, but it's my first game on the map. Rather than head directly in to Ranked battles on unfamiliar terrain, I pop on to Turf War first. It's a bit more relaxed, less ...

Part of my motivation for trying different weapons is because they often seem so effective when used against me in certain battle modes. This is one of those games.
The .52 Gal weapon splats with a couple of hits, and has a fairly long range. Its sub weapon is the Splash ...

Feeling rusty, I revert to the Splash-o-Matic in the hope that I can be useful in Splat Zones. It's a good weapon, and one I am comfortable with, but perhaps not one that is most useful for Splat Zones, with it having a short range. But the Suction Bomb Rush ...

Titles for battles are difficult. There are only so many combinations of events that occur, even if the battles themselves are wonderfully dynamic. In this case, I encounter a couple of Krakens. Excellent, I think, when the second appears. At least I have a title for my video.
I start at ...

A change of scenery! Museum d'Alfonsino crops up in the Pineapple Splatfest. It's quite an open map, with some side routes, and just one way to cross the middle—up and across the central rotating platform. That's quite a pinch point, and as I show quite early, you need to watch ...
