The stars aren't aligned for me in Splat Zones (4-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, March 16th, 2017

My first battle back in S Rank. I'm sticking with the Carbon Roller Deco, as I am enjoying it and think I can now be useful with it in most places. It should be good in Camp Triggerfish, with the long corridors to roll along or throw Seekers down, but ...

Back to S Rank with a messy Splat Zones (8-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, March 16th, 2017

Seekers help me, and hopefully my squidmates, get away from our base quickly. They're great at the start of a battle, because even though they use a lot of ink, you can squid along and regain it all back again. When I get to the Splat Zones I back off ...

Slightly rusty Splatterscoping in Rainmaker (9-7, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, March 15th, 2017

I've been battling with the Carbon Roller Deco quite a lot, and am enjoying it. But with a short session, I think I'll go back to a previous favourite, the Splatterscope. Good choice, with an E-litre 3K on the other team! I'm sure I'll be fine. My first duel with the ...

I'm no hacker -- Tower Control

Wednesday, March 15th, 2017

This video is out-of-sequence to the rest, just because I want to get it out of the way. It's four full battles, start-to-finish, with four weapon and kit changes, no pauses, no edits. Someone recently suggested that I hack my sub-abilities, and that everyone does. Nope, not me. I play to ...

Comeback kings in Rainmaker (9-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, March 14th, 2017

I get myself in to a sticky spot at the start of the battle. I think a green inkling is going to squid up the wall, but before that happens I get some blasts of ink from behind. I can do nothing else but squid through the grate, which puts ...

Seekers in Rainmaker (11-9, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, March 14th, 2017

I take so much care to line up my first Seeker, between the containers of Port Mackerel, that I don't notice one already being launched beside me. Never mind, it all helps. I take a bit of time to ink around, which seems sensible, and press forwards when it feels ...

So nearly dunking the Rainmaker (8-8, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, March 13th, 2017

I kinda pick up the Rainmaker by accident at the start of this battle. I notice the inkling squidding in the ink on one of the columns on the yellow side, and go to flick him off with my Carbon Roller. To be fair, I do exactly that, but I ...

Manic Mackerel Rainmaker (5-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, March 13th, 2017

Port Mackerel and Flounder Heights sound great to my run with the Carbon Roller Deco. I bet I can do things in Rainmaker too, particularly with Seekers painting long, straight lines. That is, if I can aim them down the long, straight lines. This is why I take a moment ...

A helping of blue in Splat Zones (5-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, March 12th, 2017

Back to the Carbon Roller Deco to finish tonight's session. It's not easy to use, but I think that just means I should get more practice with it. Although I really shouldn't treat it like a bucket, I can't help but take similar routes as with a Tri-slosher. I don't find ...

Splats all around in Splat Zones (15-6, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, March 12th, 2017

Do I make a good start, or do my squidmates seem asleep? As I push forwards I check my Gamepad, and they are moving, so everything seems okay. Hopefully it doesn't bode well for the rest of the battle. It's nice to have a decoy for my first flanking effort. They ...
