Coping with a pair of chargers in Tower Control (14-8, Blaster)

Wednesday, May 10th, 2017

Back the Blaster for a bit, as my battling is getting sloppy again. It will still be sloppy with the Blaster, but it will feel so much worse that I'll want to improve. Or I could just get repeatedly picked off by either one of two chargers sitting on high ...

Suspiciously smooth ride in Tower Control (6-1, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, May 9th, 2017

More sloshing in Museum d'Alfonsino, and I don't get splatted in the first thirty seconds! I must be applying my learning, at least occasionally. I hold back, ink turf, throw Disruptors, and when I move forwards it's to support the Tower and get a couple of splats. Not too shabby. The ...

Some loose aim in Tower Control (13-4, Kelp Splatterscope)

Tuesday, May 9th, 2017

A bit more charger practice for me, with the Kelp Splatterscope this time. I prefer the Splat Bombs of the basic Splatterscope in general, and although the Sprinkler is better for Splat Zones, the Killer Wail of the Kelp Splatterscope should be quite useful for Tower Control in Walleye Warehouse. I ...

Pushing forwards in Tower Control (12-5, Tri-slosher)

Monday, May 8th, 2017

An aim to head right around the back of the green team doesn't quite go according to plan, but what did I really expect? I may have started out along an unorthodox route, but it was one that takes me to the standard initial rush for the team. I was ...

Flicking like an idiot in Tower Control (10-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, May 4th, 2017

Have I toned down my recklessness since the previous battle? Hell no! It was a lot of fun, and as long as my current rank enables me to have that fun my battling will probably remain a little loose. Of course, getting snap-splatted by the Splat Charger reminds me that ...

Rough splatting in Tower Control (17-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017

I honestly think that battling with the Blaster is helping me improve my skill, even if I'm winning less than half of the battles. I'm also having as much as I would with other weapons. I pull out the Carbon Roller Deco purely to stop dropping below A-, as I ...

Super-quick comeback in Tower Control (6-2, Blaster)

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017

Check out my bomb awareness now! I squid behind a Seeker overtaking me, and back off from a Suction Bomb lobbed over the Tower. I feel I'm improving in leaps and bounds. I even throw a Disruptor that probably hits. I don't see, and it's on the inkling on the ...

Bad bomb awareness in Tower Control (12-8, Blaster)

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2017

Here I go again, using the Blaster like a Tri-slosher, heading around the back to hope to surprise the charger. And somehow I surprise the charger! I think A- people are a bit more direct with their strategies and don't quite expect an inkling to play around the objective. That's ...

Being brushed aside in Tower Control (9-4, Blaster)

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2017

I'm continuing with the Blaster, as I think I'm quite enjoying it. It is certainly forcing me to play more sensibly, as the fire-rate is slow enough that I have to make each shot count, and if I rush forwards I will either have to be very good with my ...

Laggy splatting in Tower Control (17-5, Blaster)

Monday, May 1st, 2017

More Blaster practice! This time in Tower Control, where it is perhaps most effective. At least, in the right tentacles it is. I'm not sure that's me yet, particularly as I decide to go around the back of Kelp Dome even though there's no charger to charge for. I think ...
