A little flustered in th Splat Zones (10-5, Tri-slosher)

Monday, February 13th, 2017

My jumping lunge at the confidently close charger doesn't quite work, with only one slosh hitting. At least when I squid right back up I manage to get the splat, as it would have been embarrassing to miss completely. I still have to start again, though, as I don't quite ...

Splatty confusion in Splat Zones (12-8, Tri-slosher)

Monday, February 13th, 2017

Flounder Heights, my favourite! But Splat Zones, my not-so favourite. I'll pick the bucket anyway, and hope the Tri-slosher will inspire me to be good. Or I'll run headlong in to trouble as always. At least I Disrupted someone! Holy crap, the Inkstrike is in the air as I have already ...

Causing trouble around the Splat Zones (14-6, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, February 12th, 2017

An Octobrush, Rapid Blaster, and Luna Blaster on the other team spell trouble for me and my Tri-slosher. But I know how to wield a bucket, so hopefully I'll be okay. I get underneath the brush to start with, more by his efforts than mine, but the Rapid Blaster catches ...

Causing disruption in Splat Zones (15-8, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, February 12th, 2017

Splat Zones with Museum d'Alfonsino. My Tri-slosher should be okay here, both for sloshing from below, from above, and for skirmishing beyond the Splat Zones, which is what I enjoy the most. My first attempt stops abruptly, but that's only to be expected at the start of the battle. My second ...

Holding my own in the Splat Zones (8-4, Splatterscope)

Saturday, February 11th, 2017

When the Kelp Splatterscope splats me from that jump I could never make, I think my number's up, and this battle is over. It doesn't stop me from trying, but I am now quite wary of my distance. At least my Splatterscope allows me the benefit of shooting to cover some ...

Mistakes were made in Rainmaker (7-9, Splatterscope)

Saturday, February 11th, 2017

Two shots needed to hit a stationary inkling. Not my finest hour. At least the Splattershot splats me, not the Rainmaker shield, although I was hoping that my Splat Bomb Rush would explode the shield a bit quicker. I somehow avoid the Kraken, despite my realising a bit late that there ...

Looking good until the end in Rainmaker (12-6, Splatterscope)

Friday, February 10th, 2017

I'm sticking with the Splatterscope for this S-Rank foray. It should work in Arowana Mall, at least. Well, in theory, in the tentacles of a good player, perhaps. But I'm riding this one out in as much style as I can, and I notice that I even start this evening ...

Splatting to the goal in S-Rank Tower Control (4-4, Splatterscope)

Friday, February 10th, 2017

Both teams look varied and balanced at the start of the battle, and it will be interesting to see how that works for both of us. I make a bee-line for the Tower, although as a charger I'm not entirely sure why, maybe just because I can supply the ink ...

Hooray for Splat Bombs in Tower Control (5-6, Splatterscope)

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

I know I disparage my aiming skills with a charger quite regularly, but there are some battles where I am really glad of having Splat Bombs as a Sub-weapon. Of course, it would help if I remembered the basics of being a squid too, so that I don't lie completely outside ...

A bit of fun in S-Rank Tower Control (6-6, Splatterscope)

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

This battle does not go particularly well for me. I try to keep the turf covered at the start, and take pot-shot at inklings too far from me, and end up getting splatted by a Gal from behind a Splash Wall as I aim badly for his squidmate. I miss-time a ...
