Being bad at Tower Control on Moray Towers

Sunday, January 3rd, 2016

More Splatterscope use on Moray Towers during Tower Control. It's a decent start, splatting an opposing charger when she's not looking, but then I get tunnel vision and miss seeing the kid inking her way up to my little perch. A few more good moves, avoiding a Killer Wail, a ...

Taking control on Moray Towers

Saturday, January 2nd, 2016

After the chaos of five chargers on Tower Control in Arowana Mall, the battle in Moray Towers is rather more subdued. The only charger in the battle is the Splatterscope I have equipped, which puts rather a lot of pressure on my tentacles. I relax a little after I get ...

So many chargers on Tower Control

Friday, January 1st, 2016

Arowana Mall and Moray Towers are in the Ranked map rotation, which can only mean one thing: squids are equipping their chargers! This includes me, now that I quite enjoy using the Splatterscope, particularly on these maps, which are much suited to charger use. The only problem is that the ...

Release the Kraken!

Thursday, December 31st, 2015

Titles for battles are difficult. There are only so many combinations of events that occur, even if the battles themselves are wonderfully dynamic. In this case, I encounter a couple of Krakens. Excellent, I think, when the second appears. At least I have a title for my video. I start at ...

Mucking around on Museum d'Alfonsino

Wednesday, December 30th, 2015

A change of scenery! Museum d'Alfonsino crops up in the Pineapple Splatfest. It's quite an open map, with some side routes, and just one way to cross the middle—up and across the central rotating platform. That's quite a pinch point, and as I show quite early, you need to watch ...

Wreaking havoc in Arowana Mall pt. 5

Tuesday, December 29th, 2015

The fun with the Kelp Splatterscope was good, but I want Pineapples to be recognised as tasty on a pizza, so I pull out the Splash-o-matic once more. Maybe we've already had too much havoc on Arowana Mall, but this last foray in to my wreaking it is perhaps the ...

Charging to defeat

Monday, December 28th, 2015

It's the following morning of the Splatfest. After an evening of wreaking havoc with the Splash-o-matic I decide to switch back to my Splatterscore. I know I can be useful on Arowana Mall, I've found good tactics for Kelp Dome, and there is a lot of open space on Museum ...

Wreaking havoc in Arowana Mall pt. 4

Sunday, December 27th, 2015

A defeat on Arowana Mall in Splatfest is nothing, really. It's a Splatfest after all, and there are titles to be earned. I queue up for the next game, and again it's in Arowana Mall. My standard opening move is nearly caught before I climb the side wall, and laying ...

It's a tough battle sometimes

Saturday, December 26th, 2015

Standard start, goes okay, some resistance down the alley, but at least I don't rush headlong in to my first splat. It takes a little more time than it often does. But as is usual when splatted initially, when I respawn I take some time to ink turf close to ...

Wreaking havoc in Arowana Mall pt. 3

Thursday, December 24th, 2015

More Splatfest Turf War on Arowana Mall, and with my Splash-o-Matic I am again wreaking havoc. My start is impeded slightly by trying to shoot ink through a fellow squid's head, but that's going to happen when we're all bunched up at the start. I quickly get on my way ...
