Hitting the spots in Splat Zones (7-2, Carbon Roller Deco)
19th July 2017 – 7.00 amI hold my position against an encroaching yellow inkling on the far side of our Splat Zone. She's pretty insistent too. I feel like pressing the issue, but that doesn't work so well. I probably should have enjoyed the stalemate, given that it would have kept the yellow team effectively one inkling down.
The same inkling goes on to capture our Splat Zone and splat my squidmates there. I try to make up for my defensive shortfall by sneaking up, but her sneakiness beats mine, simply by hiding outside of the Splat Zone. Thankfully, her slow rate-of-fire lets her down compared to my quick flicking, opening up a window for us to retake control.
We neutralise the Splat Zone, but don't capture it. I am hindered somewhat by a Killer Wail, and rather than walk back in to lots of inky pressure I push forwards to hit the yellow team from behind. My Seeker Rush charges at the right time, but my Seekers don't do much splatting. They do ink a path for me to approach the oblivious Splatterscope, which helps, and another lets me cross the Splat Zone to close on another inkling.
With the yellow team out of the way, I can capture their Splat Zone, and my squidmates capture ours. Now we starts scoring! There's lots of yellow ink outside of the Splat Zones still. A squidmate is taking care of some of it, which lets me push across the yellow Splat Zone again to watch for returning inklings.
The Splatterscope's return is short-lived, as is the inkling with the Killer Wail, although I don't stop the Special from firing. I don't mind, as I'm on the right side of it to continue pressing, and with a Seeker Rush ready. That gets a splat and inks a lot of turf towards the yellow base. I pick one path to squid down, which turns out to be well-chosen but not required. The yellow inkling pops up in to the inky explosion of the final Seeker hitting her Splash Wall.
I just about get away from the yellow base, survive a Splat Bomb Rush, and a Suction Bomb Rush, but my luck runs out when I push for another splat. The yellow team surge ahead to try to recapture the Splat Zones, with some urgency as our counter sits at two, but it's all to nought. I squid through our Splat Zone as my squidmates capture it, and get not much further before the yellow Splat Zone is inked blue again.
Before I know it, the battle is won. Woomy!
