Being sneaky in Splat Zones (5-5, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, November 15th, 2016

The Tri-slosher is really working for me today. I stick with it for Splat Zones, and go with my original strategy on Arowana Mall. Sadly, I get distracted by a possible splat in the Splat Zones, instead of trying to flank down the side, and get splatted by a Slosher. Back ...

Super-quick Splat Zones (3-3, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, November 15th, 2016

I realised in a previous match that there is no point squidding on the drop down from the base in Museum d'Alfonsino. You don't fall faster. Instead, I ink all the way down, which hopefully is a bit more productive. I also realise that my Tri-slosher can get pretty good coverage ...

Blowing my big moment in Splat Zones (2-2, Tri-slosher)

Monday, November 14th, 2016

I like Arowana Mall. But instead of using the Splatterscope and sitting on my perch, I'm sticking with the Tri-slosher after its excellent outing yesterday. And I have a plan for the start of the battle. I will rush the centre, then ignore the Splat Zones and attempt to flank the ...

What a comeback in Rainmaker (4-10, Splatterscope)

Monday, November 14th, 2016

The battle mode changes, as do the maps, and with Port Mackerel and Camp Triggerfish available for Rainmaker I go back to the Splatterscope. Those lovely long corridors should suit the charger well. Nope, not really. Well, not in my tentacles. This is actually a pretty poor battle for me, getting ...

Pretty solid sloshing in Tower Control (16-6, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, November 13th, 2016

The Splatterscope is satisfying to play well, but the Tri-slosher is just so much fun! I swap to give the bucket a go in Tower Control, and it works out better than I'd hoped. I go the first minute of the game without getting splatted whilst flanking the opposition, Disrupting one, ...

Splatting in Tower Control (8-5, Splatterscope)

Sunday, November 13th, 2016

I'm back with the Splatterscope! I'm hoping that having a tower to aim for will get me some splats without having to aim too hard. But we can't have everything we want, it seems. But I do get some splats! Splat Bombs get me some splats, mostly, particularly the Splat Bomb ...

Having good squidmates in Rainmaker (1-1, Soda Slosher)

Saturday, November 12th, 2016

I haven't given up on the Octobrush, but am moving between weapons to have a more familiar end to the session. The Splattershot Jr doesn't go as well as I'd hope, so I go back to the Soda Slosher, which I recently added to my inky arsenal. The frist splatting is a ...

Not really getting to grips with the Octobrush in Rainmaker (7-14, Octobrush Nouveau)

Saturday, November 12th, 2016

I'm sticking with the Octobrush Nouveau, probably for a bit. This is my second battle with it, and I obviously don't have the hang of it yet. Don't let that first splat fool you. But of course I don't have the hang of the brush yet, because it will take ...

First Rainmaker with an Octobrush (5-11, Octobrush Nouveau)

Friday, November 11th, 2016

A losing stream has me plummetting down the A+ Rank. That makes it time to try a new weapon! A brush, I think, and the Octobrush Nouveau looks like a decent option. I'll give it a go. Of course, I take it out to Sheldon's trial zone first, but even though ...

Working the Soda Slosher in Rainmaker (10-10, Soda Slosher)

Friday, November 11th, 2016

Surprise Rainmaker! I was trying to jump across the grate to continue sloshing, and thought my squidmate picked up the Rainmaker. Nope! Okay, we get a three-point lead, but I don't think it was worth the splat. I notice a motif in this battle. The other team like to lie in ...
