Being unsplatted doesn't help you win the Splat Zones (12-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, September 10th, 2017

Don't mind my erratic movements at the start of the battle, I'm just plugging my Gamepad in to the power adapter. I get underway smoothly enough, right in to an N-ZAP. Pretty typical, really. With so much yellow ink around, I hold back, sending Seekers forwards, inking the corridor, until ...

Skirting the Splat Zones (7-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, September 10th, 2017

I don't go all the way around the side to start this Walleye Warehouse battle. It takes a bit longer, and either no one's watching the side anyway, so what's the point, or an inkling is coming down the corridor and my route is blocked either way. This time, an ...

Forward support in Rainmaker (8-2, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, September 9th, 2017

I've still not really got the hang of Hammerhead Bridge. I never really know what route to take, or what works. I fully expect to pop up on the other side of the Rainmaker and be splatted instantly, so it is a nice relief to get one splat and push ...

Getting close in Rainmaker (10-7, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, September 9th, 2017

I don't rush in to things to start with, which makes a nice change. My horribly thrown Disruptor is par for the course, though, but it looks like a squidmate splats the Hydra Splatling for me. Or he gets bored and wanders off. Works for me, as I can get ...

A few good moments in Rainmaker (9-6, Hero Charger Replica)

Friday, September 8th, 2017

My charger skills are still not great. Sure, I splat the Kelp Splatterscope, but I have to take that extra second to make sure of my aim, which lets my target spot me, and splat me back. But my squidmates grab the Rainmaker. I drop down to provide closer support ...

Sneakiness around the Splat Zones (14-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, September 8th, 2017

The initial battle looks to be over our Splat Zone. But I suppose it would, as that's where I am. We mostly have to fend off the occasional Suction Bomb, whilst I try to work out when it's safe to push forwards. I don't make the best decision. I take ...

Forwards and back in Splat Zones (9-2, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, September 7th, 2017

Sneaking around the back works out okay at the start of this battle. Not great, but I get an easy splat out of it, and help to neutralise the Splat Zones. Another splat jumps in front of my bucket, and I push back the Rapid Blaster nicely, before popping my ...

Good start goes south in Splat Zones (14-8, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, September 7th, 2017

Sneaking around the back often works when inklings focus on the Splat Zones. It works fairly well for me in this battle, although the green team get quite far forwards, and I have to work to catch up with them. My skin is saved a bit when I squid forwards ...

Zonal inking in Splat Zones (6-2, Kelp Splat Charger)

Wednesday, September 6th, 2017

Oh boy, that E-litre 3K easily out-ranges my puny Kelp Splat Charger. I am going to have to be wary of him. Sure enough, he blasts ink clear over my head from the perch opposite to mine, where I barely get close to the perch itself. That's cool, I will ...

Could go either way in Splat Zones (11-7, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, September 6th, 2017

My standard gambit in Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones with the Carbon Roller Deco works well again, and I turn away from our Splat Zone with supernatural timing to avoid being splatted. Hopefully this is a good omen, but I'm sure it's just luck. I look to cover some blue ink, ...
