Bad-to-better Tower Control

Friday, April 15th, 2016

This is not one of my better starts to a Tower Control battle. Okay, so I let the longer-range charger have the main perch and hit my secondary perch instead, and get a nice early splat, but all that squidding about outside of my own ink is a bit embarrassing. ...

Piranha Pit Knockout in Tower Control

Thursday, April 14th, 2016

9-2 with the Splatterscope on Piranha Pit Tower Control is not too shabby! I also try to help the team out by keeping the turf inked our colour, particularly if my squidmates are mired in green. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txV5qnvaudY I have to admit, I didn't realise we were so closing to winning, and so ...

Playing with the S-ranked in Tower Control

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

I'm on a winning streak in Ranked tonight, bagging a handful of wins in a row. As I quit the lobby for a brief pause, this gives Splatoon the opportunity to pit me against some S-rank players when I return. Okay then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLYS7sZ7lcQ The battle goes better than expected, even when I ...

Close call in Piranha Pit Tower Control

Tuesday, April 12th, 2016

Okay, maybe my early mojo is settling down a bit now, but that's okay. At least I make the most of a tight spot, after falling off the top of that conveyer belt. I think I'm not really used to moving with the tunnel vision of the scope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox2AFPFa-mE It looks like ...

Early celebration on Piranha Pit Tower Control

Monday, April 11th, 2016

There was me thinking I'd not battled in Tower Control on Piranha Pit before, but of course I have. Maybe not with the Splatterscope, though, but definitely with the Tri-slosher. Still, they are quite different weapons that require very different strategies. I think I'm getting the hang of the Pit ...

Controlling Moray Towers Tower Control

Sunday, April 10th, 2016

I don't think I can beat my previous Tower Control battle, but only because it was so amazing, and it is churlish to stop for the evening after one game. So here we go again. Another good game, with some mistakes, some good splats, some impetuous charging ahead, some caution. That's ...

Excellent Moray Towers Tower Control, 20-3 with the Splatterscope

Saturday, April 9th, 2016

My first game of the evening, and it's a belter. Perhaps my best game of Tower Control, and one of my best Ranked battles so far, certainly with a charger. This is the battle that motivated me to make a 'Games of Fame' playlist on YouTube, and a game of ...

You can tell from the start in Rainmaker

Friday, April 8th, 2016

Three chargers on our team in Rainmaker, three shooters and one blaster on the other. Yeah, we're not going to do well in this battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5aClao-rF0 To be fair, we work quite well as a team. I don't think the chargers hampered us too much, although they certainly don't work as well in ...

Charging in Turf War

Thursday, April 7th, 2016

Another relaxing game of Turf War to unwind after a string of losses in Rainmaker. This time, I take my Splatterscope out for a ride on Camp Triggerfish, making use of the long lines-of-sight to ink plenty of turf and splat a handful of squids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfkwC0llJs4

Am I really this bad at Rainmaker?

Wednesday, April 6th, 2016

Perhaps a poor question to ask with a postitive splat ratio using the Splatterscope on Saltspray Rig. But I'm feeling outclassed in a string of games, and it's making me wonder if I'm just bad. I'm sure it's a combination of things. Playing with/against better players, not making best use of ...
