Putting up a fight in the Splat Zones

Friday, September 16th, 2016

Sticking with the Dual Squelcher, and improvising the start, where I move around my squidmates. I think that Inkbrush is going to be a problem for me, but it seems the Sprinkler is more my nemesis. I really do try to make use of my weapon's range, when I have it, ...

No-hope Splat Zones

Friday, September 16th, 2016

We're battling over Splat Zones, so I take the choice of the Dual Squelcher to cover ink and keep me away from trouble. I make earnest attempts to achieve both these goals, but the turf I ink is mostly out of the Splat Zones, if only because we're pushed back enough ...

Trying my best in Rainmaker

Thursday, September 15th, 2016

After a fair start to the session, everything goes to pot. I try the Splatterscope, Tri-slosher Nouveau, Aerospray RG, and Dual Squelcher all to little effect. The other inklings are just all over me, and I'm getting very frustrated. I swap back to the Splattershot Jr, my first choice of weapon ...

Going for the podium in Arowana Mall Rainmaker

Thursday, September 15th, 2016

I didn't mean to drop through that grate, but never mind. You work with what you're given, and at least I didn't fall in to the water. My first splatting is delayed. Chasing down the Squiffer is maybe not the best idea. In a different battle, the other team dunks the ...

Losing sight of the Rainmaker

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016

My plan is to go after that Splatterscope at the start of the battle. I think I know a quick way to the perch. My plan works too! I splat the Splatterscope, and get a second splat when moving on. My squidmates even get the Rainmaker and advance it healthily. Getting ...

Frantic Rainmaker

Wednesday, September 14th, 2016

I'm eschewing the temptation to equip the Splatterscope initially for Arowana Mall, instead opting for the Splattershot Jr. I should be more mobile and, with the Bubbler, more resilient. If I remember the Bubbler, that is. I don't mean to pick up the Rainmaker that first time. I was just going ...

Being useful at last in Tower Control

Tuesday, September 13th, 2016

Finally, I have a game where I get in to some kind of groove. Sure, I chase the E-litre 3K around for longer than I probably should have (how many times do I have to hit him anyway?), but at least I get rid of his piercing laser beam from ...

Trying my best in Tower Control

Tuesday, September 13th, 2016

I'm having a rough session in Tower Control tonight. I swap away from the Splatterscope to the Tri-slosher, just hoping to be more useful. Or, at least, more direct. All that really happens is that I get hunted by an N-ZAP, and not for the first time this evening. Maybe ...

Dominating Moray Towers in Tower Control

Monday, September 12th, 2016

Let's take the battle to the opposition! I'm not sitting on that tower in the middle of Moray Towers whilst an E-litre 3K hovers over me. I'm not even going to sneak up on him the normal way. I'm going the long way around. It kinda works. A fellow inkling makes ...

Outmatched in Tower Control

Monday, September 12th, 2016

Moray Towers is one of the maps, which means I want to give my Splatterscope an outing. It's a positive start, with an early splat a bit too typical of a cheesy charger, but the situation goes downhill quickly, as it only can do on Moray Towers. The opposite team makes ...
