Coming from behind in Splat Zones (6-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Saturday, July 29th, 2017

Point Sensors are flying everywhere at the start of the battle! That's not good for me as a Carbon Roller, but neither is trying to compete against the range of, well, most other weapons. I don't last long. The yellow team dominate the Splat Zones. I decide to go the ...

Seeker splats in Splat Zones (9-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

Friday, July 28th, 2017

Well, that Slosher wasn't the target of my Seeker, but I'm thankful he popped up there anyway. Right in the middle of the Splat Zone. Another Seeker just inks turf, which is fine, and the teal team are pushed back, allowing us to capture the Splat Zones. That's a good ...

Doing my best in S-Rank Splat Zones (4-3, Grim Range Blaster)

Friday, July 28th, 2017

I'm slipping out of S Rank, for which I am grateful. Some times it can't come too soon, sometimes I feel mildly competent enough. Starting this battle makes me feel somewhat competent, even though the first splat is a lucky one. I follow it with a fairly decent splat, although ...

A few blasts in Tower Control (11-7, Blaster)

Thursday, July 27th, 2017

No one's really going for the Tower at the start of the battle. That's probably wise, though. Personally, I'm on the grating because it seems like the best place to be with my Blaster, particularly as I'm lacking a reliable way to ink walls. My positioning pays off too, getting ...

Crossing the bridge in Tower Control (5-2, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, July 27th, 2017

I'm never quite sure what to do on Hammerhead Bridge. Straight down the middle doesn't seem sensible, but it's so skinny that hitting the sides rarely works. So, straight down the middle, just under the Tower, and hopefully pop up to splat an inkling. It nearly works! I give chase to ...

Doing my bit for Tower Control (5-3, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, July 26th, 2017

I try my usual suicide run around the back of Kelp Dome, squidding towards the normal charger perch. The E-litre 3K Scope is there too, and although I get a good Disruptor throw, maybe I should have stuck with ink. I don't see which way the E-litre 3K drops until ...

Rolling 'round the Splat Zones (6-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

Wednesday, July 26th, 2017

I make my normal moves on Moray Towers Splat Zones, with the way looking clear, after securing our Splat Zone, to sneak around the side. There are no chargers, so I ignore the perch to wobble my way up behind a Seeker. I'm spotted, though, which isn't much of a ...

Doubling up the splats in Splat Zones (8-4, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, July 25th, 2017

I don't rush to the Splat Zones. Our own doesn't get contested quickly on Moray Towers, which lets me ink a fuller path and build more of a Bubbler charge as I move. The Splat Zone is captured easily enough, and with no approaching threat I drop down. A green ...

Up and down the Moray Towers Splat Zones (7-4, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, July 25th, 2017

Sloshing over the Splat Zones seems like the best use of my bucket on Moray Towers, so I tend to take a defensive route to start these battles. That goes well, so I try to get sneaky around the side of the other team. I get around the side, destroy ...

Finding some breathing room in Splat Zones (7-4, Tri-slosher)

Monday, July 24th, 2017

I'm back in S Rank, and not faring too well overall. I pull out the Tri-slosher in a bid to be as competent as possible, but it doesn't always work. Thankfully, my squidmates know what they're doing, and take care of things whilst I squid around being target practice for ...
