Hooray for Splat Bombs in Tower Control (5-6, Splatterscope)

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

I know I disparage my aiming skills with a charger quite regularly, but there are some battles where I am really glad of having Splat Bombs as a Sub-weapon. Of course, it would help if I remembered the basics of being a squid too, so that I don't lie completely outside ...

A bit of fun in S-Rank Tower Control (6-6, Splatterscope)

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

This battle does not go particularly well for me. I try to keep the turf covered at the start, and take pot-shot at inklings too far from me, and end up getting splatted by a Gal from behind a Splash Wall as I aim badly for his squidmate. I miss-time a ...

Playing safe in S-Rank Tower Control (4-3, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, February 8th, 2017

Bluefin Depot offers a nice height difference for a charger, at least until the other team make it across the map. But if you're good enough, you can stop them, right? I stop the Tower's first movement, at least, and one approaching inkling, but the yellow team's progress must be ...

Not a bad S-Rank battle for me in Splat Zones (6-7, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, February 8th, 2017

It looks like I can't aim for toffee at the start of this Splat Zones battle. That's not an entirely wrong judgment either. I could at least turn to ink our Splat Zones instead, which would also have my seeing the Carbon Roller coming for me earlier. So it goes. I ...

Happy Splat Zones (2-2, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, February 7th, 2017

Okay, it's not such a happy start to this Splat Zones battle. I hit the back of an (admittedly jumping) squidmate's head, then miss my shots across the gap and get splatted. So it goes. We have a bit of trouble getting rid of the Roller too, more so when he ...

Ink everywhere in Splat Zones (8-3, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, February 7th, 2017

Ancho-V Games Splat Zones almost insists that chargers hold back and just spray ink everywhere. Who am I to disappoint? Rather than head to the side grating, where maybe I can get more splats, I go to overlook the Splat Zones, and see if I can get more ink there ...

Splatting towards victory in Tower Control (8-2, Splatterscope)

Monday, February 6th, 2017

I'm close to getting back in to S Rank, so I choose the Splatterscope for tonight. I'm not exactly hobbling myself, as I can have decent battles with the Splatterscope, but I am more likely to have a decent battle and still be in a losing position. Sue me, I ...

Turning my battle around in Tower Control (7-7, Tri-slosher)

Monday, February 6th, 2017

Oh my goodness, I'm having a rough time at the start of this battle. My usual strategies are failing me, and I don't quite know how to adapt. There's not much I can do with the short-range of the Tri-slosher, particularly when even the three sloshes seem to be missing ...

Sharing the splats in Tower Control (9-4, Splatterscope)

Sunday, February 5th, 2017

I think I like Hammerhead Bridge, but as much as there are multiple routes and levels all over the place, I never am as comfortable as on my favourite Flounders Heights. But Tower Control on the Bridge should be good for the Splatterscope, and it's no surprise to see a ...

Supporting the Rainmaker (1-0, Splatterscope)

Sunday, February 5th, 2017

I think I see an alternative perch for my Splatterscope on Camp Triggerfish Rainmaker, and aim for it. You know what, it looks pretty good. It would be better with inklings to aim for, but all I have is a Splat Charger aiming at me. One nicely rolled Splat Bomb later, ...
