Splatting for the knockout in Tower Control

Sunday, October 2nd, 2016

Squidding works better in ink, it seems. My quick movement with the Tri-slosher isn't as smooth at the start of this battle, but I still get a couple of early splats to trade for just one of me. From that, I return to help ride the tower a bit, but ...

Taking back and losing the tower in Tower Control

Sunday, October 2nd, 2016

I get to the tower nice and quickly again on Blackbelly Skatepark, but my sloshing of ink doesn't bag me any splats this time. Because of that, I divert in to support mode and try to ink routes and distract or splat the purple inklings. Which, this time, lets the ...

Splatted one notch away from knockout in Tower Control

Saturday, October 1st, 2016

A rush to the tower with my Tri-slosher, slosh ink down from above to clear the way behind me, and have some excellent squidmates to pick off the stragglers. It all looks like this is going to be too easy. This calls for a 'Nice!' Which is when I get splatted, ...

Sloshing away in Tower Control

Saturday, October 1st, 2016

Tower Control on Blackbelly Skatepark and Flounders Heights. It's a good day to break out the Tri-slosher! Unlike other amps, Blackbelly Skatepark is a good place to go directly for a ride on the tower, particularly with the Tri-slosher. The tower is at the highest point of the map, letting the ...

Keeping the opposition busy in Tower Control

Friday, September 30th, 2016

I like riding the tower. I try to do it when I can. But sometimes it seems that playing support is a better idea. I don't always decide what I'm going to do when the battle starts, but I know what my first move is. In this case, I want ...

Not your typical charger in Tower Control

Friday, September 30th, 2016

Chargers should really hang back, shoot from afar, keep a safe anchor for the team. And I try to do that, most of the time. Maybe some of the time, at least. But I get caught up in the heat of the battle, and like to support my team. And ...

Providing support in Tower Control

Thursday, September 29th, 2016

I'm flitting around the weapons tonight, more to avoid inklings than explore options. But it seems to work either way. The Tri-slosher is always a fun weapon to use, and works well in Tower Control. Being able to slosh ink up and down makes it versatile, and not having to aim ...

Taking a late lead in Tower Control

Thursday, September 29th, 2016

I'm not sure what weapon to start with this session. I opt for the Custom Blaster, which has worked well in Tower Control before, but I don't know about using it on these maps. I get off to a good enough start, splatting a fellow blaster, but then embroil myself too ...

Okay, that's better in Tower Control

Sunday, September 18th, 2016

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 ...

I'm not good enough for Tower Control

Sunday, September 18th, 2016

Well, it's more that other inklings seem much better than me, making me look quite poor in comparison. I try to do my best, but I seem simply outmatched too often. That, and I am an Inkzooka magnet. Maybe I should learn how to aim that. Or learn how to aim ...
