Not enough to control the Splat Zones (11-8, Tri-slosher)

Friday, October 21st, 2016

I don't fancy my chances with the Splatterscope in Splat Zones, despite one of the maps being Camp Triggerfish. So what weapon shall I use. The Tri-slosher is a favourite, and that both lets me throw ink around and be mobile. Along with the Disruptor, keeping opponent ink levels low, ...

Letting the Splat Zones take care of themselves (6-2, Tri-slosher)

Friday, October 21st, 2016

As often happens when I'm having a bad streak of getting splatted and stomped, I decide to let the objective do what it wants and instead skirmish around the map. I get to a decent spot early, but misjudge where the Dynamo Roller is, and how long it takes for him ...

Keeping the Splat Zones purple (4-3, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, October 20th, 2016

I didn't make a good shake of the Splatterscope in Splat Zones. I don't think it's the maps, and I don't think it's the weapon. Maybe it's me, my ability waxing and waning like my mood, or maybe there's a cyclic nature behind when I'm matched against the skilful, wide-awake ...

Quick-moving squids in Rainmaker (6-5, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, October 20th, 2016

Whee, the Tri-slosher! What a lovely, silly, effective weapon. Quick moving, low-aiming, disrupting. It bags me two splats at the start of the battle, and only loses a third because of a Splash Wall. I keep on splatting, even avoiding a Roller, thankfully, but I'm sure he'll get me back. I'm ...

Doing more with a bucket in Rainmaker (14-9, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, October 19th, 2016

Okay, I'm swapping the Splatterscope for a different weapon. The Splattershot Jr? No, the Tri-slosher, I think. I'm sure I can do some damage with the bucket. Or I can squid in to the laser sight of an E-litre 3K quite effectively. More precaution needed. So, of course, I spot the ...

Back and forth mayhem in Rainmaker (5-7, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, October 19th, 2016

Tonight's not my night with the Splatterscope. I'm not getting the splats, my aim isn't there. More than usual. I may not be aiming well, but I'm squidding okay. I squid up a neat wall to the Rainmaker to start with, even if I probably shouldn't, but I survive, and get ...

Just about competent in Rainmaker (5-6, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016

I'm not really feeling it with the Splatterscope this evening. That should be a hint to swap weapons, but I did want to get back in to practice with the Splatterscope, so I'll persevere for now. Or maybe I should swap to the Splattershot, as that inkling with the rather basic ...

Raining ink in Splat Zones (8-5, Slosher)

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016

My losing streak continues. I've tried a bunch of weapons too. One last try to be useful in Splat Zones, and I shall opt for the basic Slosher. It should throw plenty of ink around, and hopefully keep me a safe distance away from trouble, as long as I control ...

Poor defending in Rainmaker (6-6, Splatterscope)

Monday, October 17th, 2016

Rainmaker, on Bluefin Depot and Arowana Mall. I'm sticking with the Splatterscope, as the stages are good and I've been doing pretty well. Let's hope I can keep it up, in the face of an E-litre 3K. No, not really. She out-ranges and out-skills me, and my reactions aren't quick enough. ...

Last-minute goal in Rainmaker (5-7, Splatterscope)

Monday, October 17th, 2016

Let's see if I can make amends for the previous battle. Not by splatting that Roller, it seems. Not until he stands stock still for me, anyway. Desperate to do better, I grab the Rainmaker as soon as it is available and dash for the opposition turf. Of course, that doesn't ...
