Splatting around the Rainmaker (9-6, Tri-slosher Nouveau)

Friday, January 6th, 2017

I forget how useful Seekers are in Rainmaker, and they've got better in general with their wider trail. They don't stop personal stupidity, though, and my eagerness to get past the Rainmaker, shield intact, is not my smartest moment. I hopefully make up for that initial mistake immediately afterwards, with some ...

I think I did something in Rainmaker (4-2, Tri-slosher Nouveau)

Friday, January 6th, 2017

I think I contributed to this Rainmaker battle. I was pretty aggressive, and successful at splatting the opponents, at the start. I would like to say that I distracted the yellow squids enough to give my squidmates an advantage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo39zS2vV3Y I don't think I did much afterwards, unless you count finding safety ...

Getting the splats around the Splat Zones (9-6, Splattescope)

Thursday, January 5th, 2017

I want to hang back in this Splat Zones battle in Walleye Warehouse, take care of the turf, apply pressure to encroaching threats. But I can't resist going mobile and trying to apply more direct pressure. Sure, it doesn't work, not at first, but approaching the Zones from a different perspective ...

Back and forth in Splat Zones (7-3, Splatterscope)

Thursday, January 5th, 2017

I feel guilty squidding slowly behind the Roller, and just as guilty splatting ink over his head. But we both take the same route, so without going a sub-optimal way for me there's not much to be done. We'll work something out. My opposite charger seems to be coming my way. ...

Going for glory in Tower Control (7-1, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, January 4th, 2017

No chargers on the other side to try to harass, or get splatted by. Let's see if I can flank the purple team for some surprise splats, by going down the side route. Well, kinda, only helped by my ineptitude at squidding up Flounders Heights. Sloshing ink over my head, walking ...

Taking one for the team in Tower Control (7-1, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, January 4th, 2017

I go back to the Tri-slosher for a couple of battles, because I normally do well with it on Piranha Pit and Flounders Heights. Seeing the Splatterscope on the other team has my making my opening gambit of flying over the conveyer to engage it, but she's hanging back a ...

So many chargers in Tower Control (6-4, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2017

An E-litre 3K on our team, along with my Splatterscope. With her longer range, I'll let her take the normal perch overlooking the Tower, if she wants it. Then again, with three chargers on the other team, maybe this will be one of those chaotic battles where you can't rely ...

Lots'o'splats in Splat Zones (19-8, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2017

On the one hand, I didn't really give the Roller a proper outing this evening. On the other hand, I like running rampant with the Tri-slosher. It doesn't happen every battle, but when it does, I have buckets of fun. Arf! My main aim is to get to the centre and ...

Up and under in Splat Zones (3-1, Tri-slosher)

Monday, January 2nd, 2017

I've had some initial experience with the Splat Roller, and swapped to the Splatterscope for a bit to have some fun for a bit. That doesn't work at all, with an excellent E-litre 3K on the other team denying me any time to find my aim. Let's see what I ...

Doing a bit better with a Roller in Splat Zones (4-1, Splat Roller)

Monday, January 2nd, 2017

I do much better in my second battle with the Splat Roller. Admittedly, having an excellent team behind me to take up my huge slack helps greatly. I hope they didn't notice me trying to squid on un-inked turf. I do know how to squid, honest. I miss the jump-flick on ...
