Saltspray Rig Rainmaker

Wednesday, March 16th, 2016

I'm pretty sure I've never played Rainmaker on Saltspray Rig before. I think there were problems with the map. Anyway, my inexperience probably shows, as I didn't take a minute to recon the map and its changes before plunging in, with my Splatterscope no less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9XawYMBESQ I think I did okay in ...

Hard fought Splat Zones

Tuesday, March 15th, 2016

Far from my best battle in Splat Zones, but I like to think that at least I made a good showing of myself. I feel I splatted a lot of ink around in the right places, even if my aim is still a bit dodgy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HekxniEAmM4 A couple more losses, even after ...

Short and sweet Splat Zones

Monday, March 14th, 2016

I'm not sure I helped too much in this Splat Zones battle, but I'll take the ranking points. I need them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9TcyS9ARYY Well, I suppose I took out that Sprinkler. Not the Splash Wall, though. And I did give a morale-boosting 'Nice!' at the end. I'm sure that counts as contributing.

Tides turned in Splat Zones

Sunday, March 13th, 2016

Just when I think I'm getting the hang of Splat Zones, it all starts going wrong. The opponents push forwards, get their specials charged, and I'm flushed out of a comfortable perch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjj1uf-3XQI Not a bad result for me as a squid, but we perhaps could have kept the lead. Maybe I'm ...

Suppressed by chargers in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Saturday, March 12th, 2016

The Dual Squelcher may have a good range, but it's not as good as a charger. In the right tentacles, a charger is a good suppression weapon, and these squids have the right tentacles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8wrVCus7f0 And in the next battle, after a shaky start, I get to the top rank with a ...

Golo considered harmful during Rich or Fit Splatfest

Friday, March 11th, 2016

A new lobby gets me a new squidmate to enjoy. Golo may not be that harmful, but he gets himself in to good positions and definitely causes a nuisance. I think I like him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_B2-Q5MYGg But the squids in the next battle are mostly newsquids, and I feel guilty for staying so ...

Close call in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Thursday, March 10th, 2016

The battle felt closer than it turned out to be, even though it's still quite close, maybe because that Killian squid kept jumping me from out of nowhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_DlfkAThx8 He's an aptly named kid, that's for sure. A disconnection before the next battle gives me the opportunity to change my equipment, so I ...

Not missing a mine in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Wednesday, March 9th, 2016

So close to going 5-0 with the Splattershot Jr in this battle, but I step over a mine and can't get away in time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F23Y8hzVr3w Never mind, we're racking up the points for Team Money in the EU Splatfest! Next I'm trying not to hassle newsquids. I can only be so aggressive during Turf ...

Super-jump splats in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Tuesday, March 8th, 2016

Squids were super-keen to super-jump in this Splatfest battle, and other squids were just as keen to wait and welcome them with ink spraying. I continue where I left off last night, with the Splattershot Jr. Its Bubbler should come in handy, and its ink efficiency is superb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFeaHEepapQ Flounder Heights is such ...

Leaving them to it on Rich or Fit Splatfest

Monday, March 7th, 2016

Another dominating game in the EU Splatfest, with Ben and Steiner, plus a random squid that's changing each game now. I leave them to it at the opponents' base when I realise we've got them cornered, and return to ink some of the turf we've bypassed. I think the others have ...
