We were two chargers and two Rollers. Not the best combination, but it worked a bit. One Roller drops out, and we get a shooter as a replacement. That feels like it should be better.
I have an opposite number, it seems. A Splatterscope on the orange team who is out ...

I don't go straight for opponent territory in this Splatfest battle on Mahi-Mahi Resort. I still get splatted with little delay, so maybe my normal tactic is fine after all.
I keep trying to be a bit more circumspect in my inking, rather than aggressive, but it doesn't seem to affect ...

Inkbrushes are quick! Quicker than me, however hard I try, so I simply tag along for the boost. It's a good move, getting me to the top of Saltspray Rig nicely.
Spraying some ink around is interrupted by a Kraken, which I know can climb up and splat me, so I ...

Moray Towers in the second Hoverboard Splatfest battle! Let's see what I can do. It has been a while since I've been here for a Turf War.
Of course, the map has been modified, so my normal route isn't quite as effective, or risky, and I adopt a different route that ...

I start the Hoverboard Splatfest with a safe, comfortable weapon, the Splash-o-Matic. I will switch a few times, particularly as Moray Towers is one of the maps, but it's good to get a decent start.
First battle is on Saltspray Rig, a map that I like, but where circumstances can go ...

Romain was on our team in the last battle, and he seemed pretty good. Now he's on the other side. I hope that doesn't bode ill. It's the first battle of the evening on Mahi-Mahi Resort too, so naturally I get confused by what is water and what isn't. And ...

Sticking with the Tri-slosher for Rainmaker, although I don't expect another battle like the last very often. I go for the charger again, because that worked well for me last time. Not so this time. I'm not convinced his aim was pointed sufficiently at me, but so it goes. I ...

Ranked rotates to Rainmaker! Let's give the Tri-slosher a try. It's maybe not the ideal weapon for Rainmaker, but I like it as a general weapon anyway. I make an early beeline ...

Moray Towers is in the rotation. I grab my Splatterscope without even seeing what Ranked mode is live. I really like Moray Towers (and there is only ten minutes before a Squid Sisters update).
Splat Zones! That'll do, pig. My Splatterscope can reach across the Splat Zones nicely, and I can ...

The Splatterscope isn't a great choice for Kelp Dome and Hammerhead Bridge. It's a workable weapon, no doubt, but I find I have to try harder to make it work for me. I'll have another go, this time with the Tri-slosher.
The bucket should work fairly well on the Bridge, given ...
