Great comeback in Rainmaker

Tuesday, September 20th, 2016

Romain was on our team in the last battle, and he seemed pretty good. Now he's on the other side. I hope that doesn't bode ill. It's the first battle of the evening on Mahi-Mahi Resort too, so naturally I get confused by what is water and what isn't. And ...

Solid Rainmaker

Tuesday, September 20th, 2016

Sticking with the Tri-slosher for Rainmaker, although I don't expect another battle like the last very often. I go for the charger again, because that worked well for me last time. Not so this time. I'm not convinced his aim was pointed sufficiently at me, but so it goes. I ...

Tri-slosher killing spree in Rainmaker

Monday, September 19th, 2016

[I've had to edit out a few seconds of the video, as the recording glitches and cannot be rendered] Ranked rotates to Rainmaker! Let's give the Tri-slosher a try. It's maybe not the ideal weapon for Rainmaker, but I like it as a general weapon anyway. I make an early beeline ...

Securing the Splat Zones

Monday, September 19th, 2016

Moray Towers is in the rotation. I grab my Splatterscope without even seeing what Ranked mode is live. I really like Moray Towers (and there is only ten minutes before a Squid Sisters update). Splat Zones! That'll do, pig. My Splatterscope can reach across the Splat Zones nicely, and I can ...

Okay, that's better in Tower Control

Sunday, September 18th, 2016

The Splatterscope isn't a great choice for Kelp Dome and Hammerhead Bridge. It's a workable weapon, no doubt, but I find I have to try harder to make it work for me. I'll have another go, this time with the Tri-slosher. The bucket should work fairly well on the Bridge, given ...

I'm not good enough for Tower Control

Sunday, September 18th, 2016

Well, it's more that other inklings seem much better than me, making me look quite poor in comparison. I try to do my best, but I seem simply outmatched too often. That, and I am an Inkzooka magnet. Maybe I should learn how to aim that. Or learn how to aim ...

Dealing with a camping Roller in Tower Control

Saturday, September 17th, 2016

Not a great start to the battle. I miss squidding up the block, then don't realise an orange inkling is right behind me. Looking right down the barrel of an Inkzooka is never good sight either. To top it off, a Kraken jumps over some grating to splat me. I ...

Where is the tower in Tower Control

Saturday, September 17th, 2016

I missed that Splatterscope on the opponents' base before the start. I would have been more circumspect in approaching the tower had I noticed. As it is, I get splatted pretty quickly by her. New plan: circle around the back. The plan works quite well, but mostly by accident, as the ...

Putting up a fight in the Splat Zones

Friday, September 16th, 2016

Sticking with the Dual Squelcher, and improvising the start, where I move around my squidmates. I think that Inkbrush is going to be a problem for me, but it seems the Sprinkler is more my nemesis. I really do try to make use of my weapon's range, when I have it, ...

No-hope Splat Zones

Friday, September 16th, 2016

We're battling over Splat Zones, so I take the choice of the Dual Squelcher to cover ink and keep me away from trouble. I make earnest attempts to achieve both these goals, but the turf I ink is mostly out of the Splat Zones, if only because we're pushed back enough ...
