How I splat you in Rainmaker (16-7, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, April 15th, 2017

Whee! Speedy to the centre, then slightly more circumspect to avoid an early splat. I throw a Disruptor over the top to frustrate the teal inklings there, and divert to follow an ink trail for splat. I go back to help break open the Rainmaker's Shield, which works better when ...

Superb support in Rainmaker (5-0, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, April 15th, 2017

The Mahi-Mahi Resort water level doesn't drop immediately in Rainmaker, only when one team gets close enough to the podium. That makes the route around the side a little more hazardous and open to being stopped. I go that way anyway, because I enjoy it so much. I get to a ...

Not really surviving the Splat Zones (12-4, Tri-slosher)

Friday, April 14th, 2017

I do enjoy skirmishing around Walleye Warehouse with a Tri-slosher. I like it perhaps more when there's a charger to harass, all friendly like. And, sure, we lose the Splat Zones initially, but it's not the end of the battle, and I somehow survive loads of ink being tossed around. My ...

Turning the battle around in Splat Zones (11-3, Tri-slosher)

Friday, April 14th, 2017

The Tri-slosher and Flounder Heights go together well for me. Splat Zones is more hit-and-miss, though. It's a good start to this battle, with a conventional move to the top of the Heights, capture our Splat Zone, and I chuck a Disruptor over the top to hopefully frustrate a green ...

Carried away with splatting in Tower Control (10-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, April 13th, 2017

Some more Tower Control, and after a few fun but rusty Splatterscope battles in Kelp Dome I swap to the Carbon Roller Deco. So of course the next battle will be on the angles of Hammerhead Bridge. I can make it work, particularly with one battle for orientation. I start this ...

Splats everywhere in Tower Control (13-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, April 13th, 2017

Right, time for some more concentrated splatting than with the Splatterscope. I pull out the Carbon Roller Deco to see if I can gain some Rank back. That early Seeker splat is nice, squidding in to a Splat Bomb less so. At least I get just about out of the ...

Sidestepping in Tower Control (6-3, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, April 12th, 2017

I'm not too impressed with being back down in A Rank, but I can make the best of my situation and pull out the Splatterscope for a bit. I'm fairly average with it at the best of times, and out of practice at the moment. But hopefully I can do ...

What a comeback in Squad Splat Zones (9-5, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, April 12th, 2017

Sticking with a duo-squad and buckets for the two of us in Splat Zones for the moment. Hammerhead Bridge is a map where my position on the base pretty much suggests which way I go at the start, as everything seems viable. Left this time. In to the Splat Zones ...

Bucketing splats in Squad Splat Zones (11-2, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, April 11th, 2017

I'm a duo squad for a bit, having been invited by AceThunder. I started with the Carbon Roller Deco, but seeing my squadmate opt for the Tri-slosher encourages me to swap over too. I show some good sense to start with, chucking a Disruptor ahead of me to slow a ...

Carbon Roller double squish in Splat Zones (10-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, April 11th, 2017

Phew, I move just in time when lurking behind that wall. I don't want to rush in to being splatted, but I want to ink the Splat Zones. When nothing happens I push forwards, just as a Killer Wail starts to form around me. I must be feeling lucky, because ...
