Sloshing green ink in Rainmaker (10-5, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, May 17th, 2017

I sensibly don't charge to the middle of Bluefin Depot too quickly, instead letting things work themselves out a little first, helped by bolder squids and long-range weapons. A bit of sloshing gets me comfortable, squiddy ghosts start appearing, and when I drop down our Dynamo Roller intimidates the Rainmaker ...

Twice the splats in Rainmaker (14-7, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, May 16th, 2017

Will a Seeker drive over the podium? I give it a go, because the launch routes from the base are limited, and it does. That's handy. Otherwise pushing forwards with a Seeker at the start of this battle goes a bit awry, and an Echolocator discourages me from going far ...

Rushing to the goal in Rainmaker (3-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, May 16th, 2017

Okay, some stuff happens in this battle, but I'm less interested in that than the results. We have a level 18 inkling go 11-2 with a Splattershot Jr, when the rest of the team doesn't get more than 3 splats. That can only be a smurf, an experienced player starting ...

Doing just enough in Rainmaker (13-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, May 15th, 2017

I'm not sure why I have trouble finding puddles of my own ink, but I still do. That's okay, as it's obvious and just a little adjustment is needed so that I can recharge my ink tank and launch a Seeker. The first is a bit of a dud, seeking ...

Some splats in Rainmaker (13-6, Tri-slosher)

Monday, May 15th, 2017

I wasn't taking a look around as the battle starts, my cat had just brought in a mouse and I managed to get it isolated and safe before rushing back to my Gamepad. I didn't miss much, and I don't get splatted by the Rainmaker's Shield. A little to-and-fro with Point ...

Bombs be my downfall in Splat Zones (10-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

Coming up against a a .52 Gal that splats me reliably with one hit, a Carbon Roller that splats me after I splat him, and a Splattershot Jr, of all weapons, that splats me a second after I splat him, I have a stint down in B+. I come straight ...

Still going down in Rainmaker (14-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

My rank continues to drop, so I swap out away from practicing with different weapons and head for my favourites. It doesn't really help. That is, my battling gets more reliable personally, but I can only do so much. Still, I love the Carbon Roller Deco, and I love ...

Splatty Rainmaker goes nowhere (14-5, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, May 13th, 2017

I see that Hyrda Splatling, and stupidly think it's a good idea to find and splat them immediately. So it goes that I run in to a Nozzlenose. Dunno how that happened. I see how my next splatting happens, though. I have a great idea to ambush an Inkzooka from ...

Doing what we can with an inkling down in Rainmaker (12-5, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, May 13th, 2017

Look at me go! I do enjoy my bucket. It also lets me slosh the Rainmaker's Shield from safely behind a wall. Not that it matters this time, as our green ink overwhelms the purple, and it is a purple inkling who feels the splat as a result. I'm so ...

Inking the way for the Rainmaker (7-4, Tri-slosher)

Friday, May 12th, 2017

It's always good to get close to the Rainmaker as soon as possible, but rarely good to get next to it as soon as possible. So I get close and decide what's going on first. Bumping in to a rolling squidmate makes me think the way ahead can't be too ...
