Nightmare turns to dream in Splat Zones (3-5, Splatterscope)

Friday, November 25th, 2016

This battle goes quite badly for me from the start. Did the Squiffer know I was there? How? Maybe it was just a lucky shot, the kind that I get occasionally. But it kinda sets the scene for my getting splatted from all angles, and making bad decisions because of ...

Some comeback in Splat Zones (3-7, Splatterscope)

Friday, November 25th, 2016

I'm not having a great evening. I nearly drop out of A+ Rank, which isn't great, but perhaps adds evidence to my not being an S-Rank inkling yet, and why I have trouble in that tier. And in this battle, after our team takes an early lead, I just find ...

Being overrun in Splat Zones (5-2, Splatterscope)

Thursday, November 24th, 2016

A couple of unsuccessful battles with the Soda Slosher and Tri-slosher, against opposition that are playing at 2 in the morning and me in the early evening, has my returning to the Splatterscope. I probably won't do any better with it, but I can't do much worse, and I want ...

Charging in to chargers in Rainmaker (4-2, Splatterscope)

Thursday, November 24th, 2016

Okay, I know I'm, not the best charger. Far from it. If you would like more evidence, check out the little battle I have with a better charger from 1'05". Sure, I can manoeuvre quite well, and splat him too, but I never felt in control. But that's cool! I do ...

Finding my groove in Rainmaker (8-6, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2016

I'm getting back in to a charger groove. I really ought to play around with more weapons, I know, as the diversity is good to play and good to watch, and I will do. For now, though, I could use the practice. To prove it, I get off to a shaky ...

Enjoying some back-and-forth Tower Control (7-7, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2016

This is the fun kind of battle I enjoy, where both teams are going for the objective, but neither one is dominating. Everyone is doing their part for their team, and it makes for a fast-paced battle. The fast pace means I'm not always sure what's going on, and when I ...

Slightly manic Tower Control (6-6, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Back to A+ Ranked battles, and why not try to improve my aim with the Splatterscope? I can practice with other weapons another day. It certainly seems like I need the practice with the Splatterscope anyway. I have a shaky start to this battle, trying to keep my range, whilst being ...

Close call vs the Wasabi boys in Black Tie Splatfest (1150p, 3-4, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Are the inkling girls boys too? As Crash of Crash and the Boys would say: yes. I think I was meant to be on that platform as the fan activated. That's cool, I can wait for the next one, and remember how they work as I do. I like how the yellow ...

Aggressive sloshing in Black Tie Splatfest (1160p, 8-3, Tri-slosher)

Monday, November 21st, 2016

I've had some fun with the Splatterscope, and racked up some wins. I think it's time to try another weapon. I can't really decide which one, though, so I swap back to the Tri-slosher, because I like it so much in Ranked I'd like to see it work for me ...

Being cautious in Black Tie Splatfest (925p, 1-1, Splatterscope)

Monday, November 21st, 2016

I'm still attempting to practice caution with my Splatterscope, not rushing in to confrontations I am likely to lose. I have to consider my options with Flounder Heights. There are obvious places to perch in Ranked battles, but maybe not so much in Turf War. I don't get credited for the ...
