It's not just Arowana Mall being used for the Splatfest. The other two maps get plenty of inking too. I stick with my Splash-o-Matic, though, as the issue of liking pineapple on pizzas is too significant to muck around with a weapon I'm less comfortable with. In this Splatfest Turf ...

More havoc in Arowana Mall. My opening move with the Splash-o-matic is generally to get to the opponent's side of the map as quickly as possible, then, well, it all gets a bit fluid after that. There's not much you can predict in the average game. Having said that, a ...

The latest Splatfest in the EU region happened recently. Splatfests are special party nights in Splatoon. A divisive topic is picked by the Squid Sisters, with Callie representing one side and Marie the other. Every squid then gets to side with either Callie or Marie, and then battle over who ...

Mahi-Mahi Resort is the new map for Splatoon. Much like other recent maps, it has some dynamic elements. In this case, the water level lowers half-way through the battle. First, that means the water level is high to start with, and squids and kids don't like water. I'm not sure ...

Let's play some Turf War, today at Flounder Heights. My default weapon for Turf War has been the splash-o-matic for quite a while now. It shoots straighter than most weapons, which isn't a great advantage when wanting to spread lots of ink, but I find it really aids my mobility. ...

Arowana Mall is a good level for chargers, with its split level and long, thin design, so I have my Splatterscope equipped. Tower Control can go either way for chargers. Although you need to ride the tower to win, which presents an obvious target for long-distance splats, chargers just don't ...

Tower Control, Moray Towers. I have my Splatterscope on me, as the long, open ramps and open and low central area of Moray Towers lends itself perfectly to chargers. Naturally, other squids have the same idea. There's another charger in my team, and one ink gun. Yeah, only three of ...

Rainmaker, Flounder Heights. I have an Aerospray MG equipped today, as I enjoy rapid-fire inkers, and the seeker sub and inkzooker special both ink long straight lines, which are great for making a path for the Rainmaker. As is normal for the start of the match, we make a beeline ...

Rainmaker, Camp Triggerfish. Still using my Kelp Splatterscope. The game starts as normal, with a rush up the middle by most of us, and a bit of a brouhaha at the Rainmaker. There's not much that grabs my attention as we vie for position and ink advantage, not until about ...

Rainmaker, Camp Triggerfish. I am running with my Kelp Splatterscope, because of Triggerfish's nice, long stretches of open space, and the few vantage points looking across the water. A couple of charged shots gets me up to within shooting distance of the Rainmaker, and my team are right with me. ...
