Rolled over but not defeated in Rainmaker [10-6, Sploosh-o-matic]

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018

That's a solid start to the battle, sneaking around the Rainmaker for a surprise splat, and working up the Towers to be near the podium. My squidmates aren't far behind either, although when I try to rejoin them, despite managing to avoid a Splashdown, that Roller is deadly with her ...

Teamwork in Rainmaker [5(2)-1, Sploosh-o-matic]

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018

My opening gambit fails again. I swear, I'll either make that work or be splatted trying. Still, my Curling Bomb gets a direct hit, and my ink spreads enough to get an assist too. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all. I get to super-jump back too, although to a ...

A little Turf War [2137p, 5-4, Sploosh-o-matic]

Monday, January 22nd, 2018

So I was stalking CallieYuga (see recent Salmon Runs) and saw him as available when I poked my nose in to the 'Friends' section of the lobby. It turns out to be relatively easy to join other inklings in battles, if the timing is right and you don't care about ...

Listen to the squid in Rainmaker [1-1, Sploosh-o-matic]

Monday, January 22nd, 2018

My idea to drop down on unsuspecting squids is perhaps good, particularly with a short-range weapon like the Sploosh-o-matic, but the timing is sadly off. My squidmates take care of the orange team, though, and quite thoroughly. I'm expecting to hit hiding squids in that sea of orange, but there's ...

Getting a bit close in Rainmaker [13(2)-7, Sploosh-o-matic]

Sunday, January 21st, 2018

There's movement all over the place to start the battle, with plenty of inklings thinking that a splatty start would be more tactical than moving the Rainmaker. As I try to get rid of any chasing inklings with a Curling Bomb, and reminded by the Tri-slosher of the bridge above ...

From blue to green in Splat Zones [7(1)-2, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Sunday, January 21st, 2018

My first Robot Chicken finds a target, which pleases me, but I don't want the incoming Tenta Missiles to do the same, causing a brief retreat. And despite our good start, the blue team come back to push us out of the Splat Zones quite thoroughly, from the front and ...

Enjoying the Specials in Salmon Run [22-20-17, 21/554]

Saturday, January 20th, 2018

I think going the long way to the Steelhead will be quicker. It isn't, but I manage to nab a Golden Egg like I deserved it. The Drizzler is easier, and the second Steelhead takes priority over the Steel Eel, but I overlook a Cohock, and get a pan to ...

Autobombs and Ink Storms in Splat Zones [14(3)-3, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Saturday, January 20th, 2018

I'm wondering where that E-litre 4K will set up, and hit the flank to lob an opportunistic Robot Chicken her way. It doesn't find anything, but moving up to the Splat Zones level finds the telltale shot of ink, and I try to combine Ink Storm and Robot Chicken to ...

What difficult third wave, in Salmon Run [16-14-21, 12/510]

Friday, January 19th, 2018

Bah, that's a poor throw on the Flyfish, particularly as my aiming arc showed the Splat Bomb would fall short. Still, it's the first boss in the first wave, we will cope. Then again, the Flyfish is splatted anyway, and I honestly don't know how. All bombs fell out of ...

Shown no mercy in Splat Zones [13(6)-5, Custom Splattershot Jr]

Friday, January 19th, 2018

Uh-oh, our Rapid Blaster isn't moving. Hopefully it's just temporary, and there's not much to be done but press on. Splatting the Inkjet with my Ink Storm keeps my spirits up early, and although I avoid a Splashdown I run in to the inkling that comes out of it. Heading ...
