A touch of lag in Splat Zones (12-7, Carbon Roller Deco)
10th June 2017 – 7.00 pmLooks like me and the E-litre 3K are heading the same way to start the battle, and he splats the inkling in front of me. I was probably going to miss my flick anyway, judging by my ambitious flicking from the moving platform, and diving in to the Ink mine was a bit silly.
No one went the conventional way to the Splat Zones, it seems, so I ink a path for others to follow. A Seeker Rush encourages me to drop down immediately, but nothing's really happening. I see some ink finally fly above me, and wait for a simple splat. I have to wait a split-second longer than expected, but the splat comes. A second splat is more immediate.
A touch of lag shows itself again when I jump towards the .96 Gal, but I really shouldn't be jumping towards a .96 Gal in the first place. I find the E-litre 3K again, and he takes a splat as I jump past him. I had better be careful of the opposition charger, so keep my squiddy head low, moving only under cover of Inkstrike. That doesn't stop me getting splatted by an Ink Mine in the same place as before, though.
Hey, I wonder what that Aerospray is doing right after the Ink Mine splats me? Probably nothing important. The .96 Gal takes a moment to think about being splatted, but I survive to launch Seekers everywhere, and the other .96 Gal takes a moment longer, but his ink was hitting me anyway. More alarming is how low their score is getting.
The green counter is thankfully stopped by squidmates, as I may not have got there in time. I add some ink to the Splat Zones, being cautious about Ink Mines, before turning my attention to the returning inklings. All three are on a slightly delayed splat, but they do splat. It's quite a nice effect, really.
My Seeker Rush comes at a nice time, and I retreat before I'm in trouble. An inkling also comes my way at a nice time, but changes in to a Kraken when it is a bit inconvenient for me, to be honest. He somehow ignores me, which is good, and I dodge a Splat Bomb, which is also good, but I still end up as a green blotch in the Splat Zones when I bite off more than I can chew.
Everything is very green. I don't know where inklings are or aren't, so exercise a little caution. I send a Seeker across the Ink Mine, and move up as my Seeker Rush charges. I don't use the Rush in a cautious place, sadly, but I get a splat and help reclaim the Splat Zones with it. I add some inky pressure to the green team on my return, and join my squidmates to patrol the newly purple Splat Zones.
Lots of ink flies around, and my moment is lost slightly when some of it hits the fan, but I recover to see a small cluster of inklings in my path. How I get only one splat, I don't know, but the touch of lag may not be helping. Still, it is only a touch of lag, and quite tolerable. Despite the loss, it was an enjoyable battle.
