Taking back the tower in Tower Control

Thursday, October 6th, 2016

New tactic for Blackbelly Skatepark Tower Control. My Tri-slosher can get me to the tower really quickly, but I have been doing that in each game this session so far. Instead, I aim to outflank the opponents from the start. It would help if I knew how to squid. Or ...

Ink flies in Tower Control

Thursday, October 6th, 2016

A bit of a runaround on the tower to start with, as an N-ZAP chases me. Neither of us really wins. Even during that short time, there is blue in everywhere on our side of the map, which is a situation I think needs correcting. Having inked the turf purple, I ...

Bubbling for the goal in Tower Control

Wednesday, October 5th, 2016

Trying to ride the tower immediately on Blackbelly Skatepark is disrupted by finding a Suction Bomb where I want to be. Pausing only has me awkwardly fall from the central column, where I am splatted without getting a splat myself. Not the greatest start to the battle. My next splat is ...

Fighting back in Tower Control

Wednesday, October 5th, 2016

I dunno how I don't splat that Roller as he's squidding up the central column before he gets to splat me. I can only assume my ink is sloshing down and hitting a different inkling. It gets me a little salty, though, which is only made worse when hit by ...

Skirmishing in Splat Zones

Tuesday, October 4th, 2016

My not-quite-a-rampage worked well in the previous battle, so that's my strategy for this one too. I think a skirmishing approach will be necessary too, with that E-litre 3K in the other team. Thankfully, I catch the E-litre 3K looking the other way immediately, and her reaction is to run in ...

Going for a rampage in Splat Zones

Tuesday, October 4th, 2016

I'm having a bad time this evening. I can't get my normal choices of weapons to work for me. I'm getting a little frustrated, which calls for a more radical change than just the weapon. I pick the Splash-o-Matic and decide to mostly ignore the objective, and instead try to go ...

Helping the Rainmaker along

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

The Tri-slosher wasn't working for me in Rainmaker, so I've swapped to the Splattershot Jr, hoping for a better result. I flank the opposition to start with, mostly becuase at this level it seems too reckless to head straight for the Rainmaker. I don't get much of a result, although at ...

Splatting the way to the goal in Tower Control

Monday, October 3rd, 2016

I grab the Splatterscope for Moray Towers Tower Control, and then perform quite average on Museum d'Aflonsino for a couple of games, and get stomped when Moray Towers turns up. I should change weapon. The Tri-slosher is a perennial favourite of mine for Tower Control, and it works a charm again ...

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 ...
