Somehow turning it around on Rainmaker

Tuesday, May 31st, 2016

E-litre 3Ks, huh? What can you do? Get in to pointless duels with them, apparently. Playing the support role looks to be a good idea, as the other side are keen to keep the turf purple, making their pushes more quick and effective. But one of them isn't expecting me to ...

Muddling around in Rainmaker

Monday, May 30th, 2016

Sometimes, I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm doing. Of course, the start of any Ranked battle is fairly formulaic, and so it goes for this Rainmaker on Urchin Underpass. I even get a nice Splat Bomb splat and Splatterscope double. After that, I'm just making it up as ...

Being sneaky in Splat Zones

Sunday, May 29th, 2016

Or, at least, trying to be sneaky. It's not easy when your ink gives away your entrance, as the Kelp Splat Charger inkling notices. I go back to exact my weak revenge, before trying a different route. A major bit of newb fever hits me for a bit, as I flounder, ...

Decent Splat Zones

Saturday, May 28th, 2016

The Splatterscope is fun, the Splattershot Jr was good, but I'm switching it up again to battle with the Dual Squelcher for a bit, still in Splat Zones. I take care to mind my range, and my surroundings, but can't quite stop a two-pronged attack at the start of the battle. This ...

Splat Zones not going in to overtime

Friday, May 27th, 2016

Switching around the weapons, just for variety, I'm going with the Splattershot Jr in to Splat Zones. I like being mobile and not being predictable, so it's kinda funny when I try a fancy squid/jump/turn to prevent being splatted, only to have a different inkling splat me from behind anyway. Or ...

Overcome with ink in Splat Zones

Thursday, May 26th, 2016

A muddled start, some competent play to get a fair lead, and then purple ink goes everywhere. It's a fun, frantic battle, and I am impressed with my agile evasion of that Seeker, as well as the occasional realistion that I should be inking the Splat Zone rather than hunting inklings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO5b3NTUDr0 That ...

A less passive approach to Port Mackerel Splat Zones

Wednesday, May 25th, 2016

Port Mackerel Splat Zones with the Splatterscope has seen me holing up on the raised platform over the first Splat Zone, and keeping that zone secure. But it seems that A+ battles demand a more active approach to defence, one that involves a little more aggression. I can see why, too. ...

Counting down in Splat Zones

Tuesday, May 24th, 2016

I've been on a number of losing games of Splat Zones where the opposition takes control and simply dominates the turf. It's pretty frustrating when it happens, but is normally well-earned. This game almost goes the other way. There's a small period where we lose control, btu once we regain it ...

Dodgy start to Splat Zones

Monday, May 23rd, 2016

My first battle of the evening, and it shows. My co-ordination is off, my aim is off, and I make newbie mistakes. Thank goodness for the rest of my team having their wits about themselves. At least I get my act together in good time, and start contributing to controlling the ...

Nowhere to hide from E-litre 3k Scope in Tower Control

Sunday, May 22nd, 2016

Doesn't the tower's pillar provide cover from being splatted? That E-litre is using haxxx, gotta be. Having a squidmate get splatted whilst I'm hidden by a wall is also pretty confusing. I'm surprised I recovered so quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp5EiaeuGVg I have a pretty good game, racking up the splats, being sneaky, riding the tower. ...
