It's a Money vs Money battle in the Splatfest, so the colours change around for us.
Either the others aren't trying so hard, with nothing on the line for the Splatfest, or we are being a bit too aggressive in pushing forwards.

I think our team are gelling quite well. Ben and ...

The Tri-slosher Nouveau is still working for me in the Splatfest, although I'm starting to feel the effects of its short range. Not to start with, thankfully, and neither when I take the side route in reverse to get to the opponents' base.
There's always so much more turf to ink ...

One of our squids disconnects early in the battle. This puts us at something of a disadvantage. Or gives us a challenge. Either way, we're not quite strong enough to overcome the odds.
My shoddy start to the battle doesn't help. Aiming that the wrong place, running out of ink, being ...

Let's get through some of the Rich of Fit Splatfest battles. I tend to play with an aim to becoming a Queen of the Splatfest, which results in plenty of games played.
I do okay in the Rich or Fit EU Splatfest in the first few battles, but a ninja boy ...

It's another EU Splatfest, with the theme of wanting to be Rich or Fit in the New Year. Personally, I'm just happy to be getting to grips with new weapons and maps in Splatoon.
The Splatfest maps are Urchin Underpass, Flounder Heights, and Mahi-Mahi Resort. The first is an original map, ...

A couple of demoralising losses in Splat Zones has my changing weapons again. I'll give the Custom Dual Squelcher a go, after trying it out in Turf War recently.
The Custom Dual Squelcher has an excellent range, which lets you throw ink in to the Splat Zones from a good distance ...

Sneaking around the back of someone doesn't work too often, making it extra-sweet when it does. There is something quite satisfying about splatting someone so easily. Catching another slosher with my own slosher is satisfying too, making me think I'm doing something right.
Not quite doing something right, I wasn't quite ...

I stick with the Tri-slosher Nouveau for another Splat Zones battle, this time on Piranha Pit.
We're up against all shooters, which could be dangerous. Or maybe their lack of variety will play against them. As is usual when I have a bucket in my suction cups, I get slosh-happy and ...

After a couple of poor games with the .52 Gal, I swap weapons again. This lets me keep the battles fresh by mixing up my tactics, and gives me an excuse to exit the lobby with my current squidmates.
The Tri-slosher works well in Tower Control, and it should work well ...

It's easy to blame your squidmates when you lose, but sometimes it can feel like you are doing more than your fair share of the inking.
I do my best to keep our zone covered in our ink, and claiming the other zone for ourselves, but it seems that if I'm ...
