Disrupting in Tower Control (11-6, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, August 26th, 2017

I quite like scoped chargers, mostly when I'm aiming to flank them. They don't know I'm coming until the ink hits, and then it's too late. My position after hitting the E-litre 3K is good for clambering on to the Tower too, as the other purple inklings aren't around. I ...

Hitting the sides for the knockout in Tower Control (10-4, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, August 26th, 2017

Ooh, a charger on the other team. Can I surprise her on the usual perch? Nope, doesn't look like she's there. There are inklings beneath me, though, and I have a bucket. My sloshing doesn't quite work out as intended this time. But I get back on the grating to ...

It's all a bit quiet in Tower Control (8-3, Tri-slosher)

Friday, August 25th, 2017

That slightly extended intro seems ominous, but I think little more of it, seeing chargers on the blue team, and make a beeline towards the usual perch. There's a charger there, but they drop, or fall, so I have to give chase. Or wait a moment, and she pops up. ...

Very splatty Rainmaker (11-8, Zink Mini Splatling)

Friday, August 25th, 2017

Not focussing fully on the Rainmaker's Shield generally helps, as splatting an opposing inkling will reduce the incoming ink from the other team. I get a nice splat in this vein to start the battle, and move up to find a second splat as I hear my ink hit something. ...

Good moves and bad in Rainmaker (10-8, Zink Mini Splatling)

Thursday, August 24th, 2017

That Disruptor throw wasn't too bad a move. Running backwards in to the Splat Bomb was pretty bad, though. Trying to splat the Inkzooka would be a good move, but not when she's on our team, and doing so lets the other team burst the Rainmaker Shield, splatting us both. ...

Holding back the knockout in Rainmaker (11-9, Zink Mini Splatling)

Thursday, August 24th, 2017

Man, I still can't throw Disruptors reliably, my first attempt in this battle hitting the floor at my feet. That most contribute a little to my getting splatted, but I could have backed off too. So it goes. My second throw does much better, catching two inklings, and it's only ...

Small splatlings in Rainmaker (11-7, Zink Mini Splatling)

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017

I'm having another go with the Zinc Mini Splatling. It's pretty tricky to get right. I'm mostly finding that I my shooting stops without my realising, but when I can get the timing right I can almost be effective. I protect our charger at the start of this battle, which ...

Sneaking the lead in Rainmaker (10-7, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017

There's the usual posturing around the Rainmaker at the top of the Heights, with little movement either way. I decide that it's probably about time someone grabbed the Raimnaker, so do it myself. I think I'm going to get a decent distance, and although I get fairly far, I am ...

Tough-fought comeback in Splat Zones (11-8, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017

I'm a little lucky not to get splatted by that Carbon Roller when I first go down the side, but we lose the Splat Zones anyway, my Disruptor misses the E-litre 3K, and I'm too slow with my Bubbler against the .52 Gal. So it goes. To make matters worse, ...

Splatting forwards in Splat Zones (4-3, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017

My plan to get quickly around the purple team almost works, right up until I meet the purple team. Maybe I Disrupt one of them, that should count for something. I come back to purple ink blocking our entrance to the Splat Zones, but the Splat Zones at least remain ...
