One-minute Splat Zones (3-0, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, August 6th, 2017

Sticking around our side of the Splat Zones seems like a solid opening gambit, and we keep things a nice green for a while. But that Kelp Splatterscope on the perch looks menacing to me. Maybe I can do something about it. Normally, I'd head down the side, along the corridor ...

Last-ditch assault on the Splat Zones (10-8, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, August 6th, 2017

I've thrown better Seekers in Port Mackerel, but at least my squidmate covers my error, and we both cover our Splat Zone. A bit of patrolling looks to go well, but the teal team make a coordinated push and throw enough ink everywhere to cause problems and capture both Splat ...

Behind the lines in Splat Zones (8-2, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, August 5th, 2017

I see that inkling coming towards the ramp. If I had known it was the Luna Blaster maybe I'd have turned away, but so it goes. The other way may suit me better, but sneaking up on inklings whilst Echolocated isn't as easy as it could be. I should think ...

By the skin of my beak in Splat Zones (16-10, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, August 5th, 2017

It's a bold move to go right around the back at the start of the battle, particularly as there isn't a charger to find on the usual perch. Naturally, the green team grab the unusually unguarded Splat Zones, and I hope to make up for my move with a few ...

Top cooperation in Splat Zones (5-2, Tri-slosher)

Friday, August 4th, 2017

My squidmate does all the good moves down the side channel at the start of this battle. Maybe I'm a minor distraction, helping her get the splats, but she gets the splats. They all count! She pushes higher, as I cross the bridge. I get one splat of my own, ...

Splatting all over the Splat Zones (15-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, August 4th, 2017

That Tri-slosher takes a few hits to splat. but I get him in the end, and avoid some purple threat from behind. The Splat Zones are ours, an Inkstrike helping, and a pause before heading up the wall helps me stay unsplatted for a bit longer. Sticking to the wall ...

Splat Zones and beyond (4-1, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, August 3rd, 2017

Aww yes, look at that Seeker right between the flower boxes. A quick jump and I'm meeting two purple inklings with my Carbon Roller, and discouraging another from coming up to the Splat Zones. Maybe he doesn't mind too much, with the range of that shooter. Do I hit him with ...

Small victories in Splat Zones (5-6, Fresh Squiffer)

Thursday, August 3rd, 2017

I'm still not particularly effective with the Squiffer, but I kinda like it's potential in the right tentacles. As I am still learning, rather than dwell on all the mistakes I make, I think it's good to look at the little things I get right. Despite the Splat Zones being purple, ...

Squiffing in the Splat Zones (6-3, Fresh Squiffer)

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017

It's a nice idea to plant that Suction Bomb for the inkling to drop in to, squidding away from harm as I do. It would work better if I didn't squid in to an active Killer Wail. I head a different way next, and still find a Killer Wail, but ...

Forward support in Tower Control (8-2, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017

Well, my trip around the back to surprise the E-litre 3K goes better than expected. The other inkling was a surprise to the both of us, and my Bubbler charges just in time to repel a third inkling. Very nice indeed. I back off from there, not wanting to be ...
