Not quite making the goal in Rainmaker

Saturday, September 3rd, 2016

A relatively cautious start to this Rainmaker. But, then I shouldn't be in the middle of the action as a charger anyway. Getting hit by that Inkzooka kinda shows that, kinda doesn't given their range. Another feeble bomb throw, a disappointment after that great one at the start, is easily forgotten ...

Advancing the Rainmaker

Friday, September 2nd, 2016

As our team forms on the base, I have to wonder: how can I use the Splatterscope in Rainmaker on Mahi-Mahi Resort. A little late to be thinking this, I suppose, and it probably shows in my initial moves. Getting hit by the Disruptor isn't much fun, nor the second time, ...

Sly dunk of the Rainmaker

Friday, September 2nd, 2016

I don't see that Suction Bomb that splats me. But never mind, it must have been a good throw. Back to the action, and I get my own lucky splat, right in front of the unclaimed Rainmaker. A Splat Bomb Rush follows me along the side route, but when I lose ...

At least it wasn't a knockout Rainmaker battle

Thursday, September 1st, 2016

Still in S Rank, but wanting to be positive. I have a better string of games in this session too, which is good. Maybe the maps suit me better, maybe the battle mode is key, or maybe I just get more suitable teams. Either way, I'm having fun. I don't catch ...

S-Rank frustrations in Tower Control

Thursday, September 1st, 2016

This turns out to be the last game of the session for me. I simply can't take being crushed any more tonight. I try to be less reckless, more cautious, adopt a support role at times, try to advance the objective when possible, but I'm just useless. The team wins in ...

I can't play S-Rank Tower Control

Wednesday, August 31st, 2016

Somehow staying in S Rank, I battle on. But I don't know why. Actually, I do know why: in the hopes of dropping out of S Rank again, if I lose enough. But losing battles isn't much fun when you're being stomped every game. I've tried several different weapons, and none ...

Battle to the end in Tower Control

Wednesday, August 31st, 2016

Do you like my new hat? I think I should make use of it, which pretty much means equipping the Splatterscope. I'm okay with that. There's the usual reluctance to get on the tower at the start of the battle, which is probably less to do with not wanting to ride ...

Splatting in extra time in Tower Control

Tuesday, August 30th, 2016

Let's stick with the Custom Blaster for now in Tower Control. Hopefully it will work just as well on Piranha Pit as it does on other maps. I quite like the route the tower takes in Piranha Pit. It makes for a good battle with lots of tension, without sacrificing the ...

Blasting away in Tower Control

Tuesday, August 30th, 2016

First choice weapon tonight for Tower Control was the Tri-slosher, one of my favourites. It didn't work out so well. Let's give a recent new weapon another go instead, the Custom Blaster. I mostly get back in to the swing of the weapon without much delay, although I doubt I will ...

Sloshing around the Splat Zones

Monday, August 29th, 2016

Two chargers on each team. Hopefully our chargers will keep their chargers at bay. Or maybe the longer range of the Slosher over the Tri-slosher I'm more used to will help me splat the chargers myself. I like my odds in both Urchin Underpass and Ancho-V Games with the Slosher, as ...
