Stumbling to the podium in Rainmaker (3-1, Fresh Squiffer)

Tuesday, November 14th, 2017

Follow that Seeker! Our speed doesn't help us burst the Rainmaker's shield, but it doesn't seem to matter that the green team do it. Nor does it seem to matter much that I can't hit anything early on. I give up on splatting inklings, and go for the open Rainmaker ...

Being ruthless in Splat Zones (10-1, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, November 14th, 2017

Holding back to start with seems to work quite well. Even if we lose early control, it's easily got back when the other team are splatted away. A bit of luck helps too, like the Splatterscope just missing my dangly ear. I wisely stay away from him, and head across ...

Comeback kings in Splat Zones (13-11, Tri-slosher)

Monday, November 13th, 2017

It is a nice move to get around the side of the platform to start with, and nearly gets me the drop on an inkling, but once I was spotted I should have moved backwards. So it goes. I look more towards the Splat Zones on my return, which helps, ...

Danger is my middle name, in Splat Zones (10-2, Tri-slosher)

Monday, November 13th, 2017

My little bucket can reach quite far from the top of the Depot, managing to cover an entire quadrant of the Splat Zones. That's not enough, though, so when I spot a target I dive down, Disrupt, and get a bit lucky not to be splatted. I run with that ...

Sloshing the Splat Zones like a ninja (8-1, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, November 12th, 2017

Hammerhead Bridge is a bit busy with obstacles. I don't consider there to be any great reasons to dash ahead, so I take it slow and steady, building a path, and some charge for my Bubbler. I then use cover sensibly, and try not to give away my intentions with ...

Around the edges of Splat Zones (12-4, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, November 12th, 2017

My reticence at the start of the battle is because we have a smurf on our team. I don't like battling with or against smurfs, in much the same way that I wouldn't like to play Rugby against the Welsh national team. I'm just not that good and don't like ...

Losing with flair in Splat Zones (6-3, Zink Mini Splatling)

Saturday, November 11th, 2017

Ah, Saltspray Rig Splat Zones. Is there a more brutal map for Splat Zones? Probably not! I quite like it because of this, even if the winner is generally decided by whoever captures the Splat Zones first. I decide to try to sneak around the teal team to start with, ...

Trying to turn the Splat Zones around (15-10, Zink Mini Splatling)

Saturday, November 11th, 2017

It's a rough start to the battle. I don't do myself any favours by dashing in to the line of fire in the middle of the Splat Zones, helping them turn orange, and at least I get a couple of splats to ease some of the pressure before I begin ...

From purple to yellow in Splat Zones (6-2, Zink Mini Splatling)

Friday, November 10th, 2017

My attempt to flank the purple team works well, in that I get behind them, but that Splattershot Jr is on the ball. Heading down the other corridor as a second option could have gone badly, nearly dropping on to a Kraken, but I make it to the end as ...

Pushing the Rainmaker forwards (5-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, November 10th, 2017

I don't recklessly grab the Rainmaker immediately, and keep checking to see if we're about to be flanked. It's a shame I miss the green ink in the background, but ultimately I don't think it matters. I also don't purposely pick up the Rainmaker, managing to inexpertly squid through the ...
