Sneaking the lead in Rainmaker (10-7, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017

There's the usual posturing around the Rainmaker at the top of the Heights, with little movement either way. I decide that it's probably about time someone grabbed the Raimnaker, so do it myself. I think I'm going to get a decent distance, and although I get fairly far, I am ...

Tough-fought comeback in Splat Zones (11-8, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017

I'm a little lucky not to get splatted by that Carbon Roller when I first go down the side, but we lose the Splat Zones anyway, my Disruptor misses the E-litre 3K, and I'm too slow with my Bubbler against the .52 Gal. So it goes. To make matters worse, ...

Splatting forwards in Splat Zones (4-3, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017

My plan to get quickly around the purple team almost works, right up until I meet the purple team. Maybe I Disrupt one of them, that should count for something. I come back to purple ink blocking our entrance to the Splat Zones, but the Splat Zones at least remain ...

Pushing back in Splat Zones (5-2, Tri-slosher)

Monday, August 21st, 2017

My mood has not lifted much. That last uploaded battle was good, but anomalous, and my losing streak continues. I am now half-way down A-, and still trying to salvage some self-respect with the Tri-slosher. I don't think I'm having bad battles as such, but I'm feeling frustrations stronger than ...

Finding some splats in Tower Control (15-5, Tri-slosher)

Monday, August 21st, 2017

I've been on a bit of a losing streak, not really finding a groove in my battling. I don't think I've been in the right frame-of-mind, to be honest, but it's hard to tell at the time. But if there's one weapon that I can believe in, it's the Tri-slosher, ...

Taking back Tower Control (14-9, Tri-slosher)

Sunday, August 20th, 2017

I can see that inkling coming on to the column to try to hit us quickly, and aim my Tri-slosher to stop the assault. I'm not quite prepared for two inklings, though, and the increased inky pressure splats me before I can splat both of them. But my bucket can ...

Fun at the resort in Tower Control (7-5, Grim Range Blaster)

Sunday, August 20th, 2017

Both teams gauge the other to start the battle, not committing too much ink forwards, and it seems like we come out on top with splats and turf. When the purple team are definitely two inklings down, I climb on to the Tower and start pushing it forwards. Some forwards ...

Having a blast in Tower Control (12-6, Grim Range Blaster)

Saturday, August 19th, 2017

I like my use of the Burst Bomb on the fan, keeping the platform elevated and getting the splat on the Rapid Blaster. If my aim were better, it would have been a direct hit, same with the Roller, but I'm still happy to get indirect hits, as long as ...

Can I keep doing this in Splat Zones (11-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Saturday, August 19th, 2017

The classic Seeker trail gets me to the Splat Zones quickly, but I don't launch the second soon enough, and run out of ink. I just about escape a Suction Bomb and an E-litre 3K shot, but where are my squidmates? The Splat Zones turn purple. One of them is ...

Early celebration in Splat Zones (6-1, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, August 18th, 2017

I can't quite roll right around the back without running out of ink. So it goes for not being able to squid in your own ink trail. The pause lets me take a breath, and decide which way I'll turn. Towards the Splat Zones, I think, as I spy a ...
