Not getting far with the Rainmaker (14-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, November 15th, 2017

My previous battle gets me warmed up for this one, where I try to apply what worked. I get a couple of early splats, then head to where I can send my Seekers to ink and splat. Going in to the corner gets me cornered by the E-litre 3K, but ...

Seekers for the Rainmaker (18-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, November 15th, 2017

Why am I looking up? I dunno. It's easily corrected, and I get on track immediately. It's a bit of a miss at the inkling right in front of me, but at least I don't get splatted instead, not even by the Rainmaker's shield bursting. I prefer splatting Inkzookas anyway. ...

Stumbling to the podium in Rainmaker (3-1, Fresh Squiffer)

Tuesday, November 14th, 2017

Follow that Seeker! Our speed doesn't help us burst the Rainmaker's shield, but it doesn't seem to matter that the green team do it. Nor does it seem to matter much that I can't hit anything early on. I give up on splatting inklings, and go for the open Rainmaker ...

Being ruthless in Splat Zones (10-1, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, November 14th, 2017

Holding back to start with seems to work quite well. Even if we lose early control, it's easily got back when the other team are splatted away. A bit of luck helps too, like the Splatterscope just missing my dangly ear. I wisely stay away from him, and head across ...

Comeback kings in Splat Zones (13-11, Tri-slosher)

Monday, November 13th, 2017

It is a nice move to get around the side of the platform to start with, and nearly gets me the drop on an inkling, but once I was spotted I should have moved backwards. So it goes. I look more towards the Splat Zones on my return, which helps, ...

Danger is my middle name, in Splat Zones (10-2, Tri-slosher)

Monday, November 13th, 2017

My little bucket can reach quite far from the top of the Depot, managing to cover an entire quadrant of the Splat Zones. That's not enough, though, so when I spot a target I dive down, Disrupt, and get a bit lucky not to be splatted. I run with that ...

Sloshing the Splat Zones like a ninja (8-1, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, November 12th, 2017

Hammerhead Bridge is a bit busy with obstacles. I don't consider there to be any great reasons to dash ahead, so I take it slow and steady, building a path, and some charge for my Bubbler. I then use cover sensibly, and try not to give away my intentions with ...

Around the edges of Splat Zones (12-4, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, November 12th, 2017

My reticence at the start of the battle is because we have a smurf on our team. I don't like battling with or against smurfs, in much the same way that I wouldn't like to play Rugby against the Welsh national team. I'm just not that good and don't like ...

Losing with flair in Splat Zones (6-3, Zink Mini Splatling)

Saturday, November 11th, 2017

Ah, Saltspray Rig Splat Zones. Is there a more brutal map for Splat Zones? Probably not! I quite like it because of this, even if the winner is generally decided by whoever captures the Splat Zones first. I decide to try to sneak around the teal team to start with, ...

Trying to turn the Splat Zones around (15-10, Zink Mini Splatling)

Saturday, November 11th, 2017

It's a rough start to the battle. I don't do myself any favours by dashing in to the line of fire in the middle of the Splat Zones, helping them turn orange, and at least I get a couple of splats to ease some of the pressure before I begin ...
