I head for the flank to get behind the orange team immediately, and am glad that the Inkbrush moves a bit faster than me, putting her around the corner and somewhat unaware of me initially. From there, and a little conscious of how many orange inklings have been splatted, and ...

I look to hit the blue team's flank initially, but seeing the flurry of activity in the middle of the map changes my mind, particularly as my angle of approach looks good. I get a nice direct hit on one inkling, and can squid under the sight of the Splattterscope. ...

Oops, in trying to keep my forward motion up whilst blasting, I jump in front of the charger. That's exactly what I don't like when battling with a charger, so I'm sorry about doing that. I'm aiming to hit the perch on our right, though, where the range of my ...

When I was trying to get back from A to S Rank, I had a pitiful time. I played for ages and managed to do nothing but tread water. When I decided not to care what rank I was and just play to my ability, a few battles at a ...

A decent start to this battle, albeit defensive. But that's the best way a Carbon Roller Deco can start a battle. Any more aggressive and you're just asking to be the first splat. We defend our corridor, clear the Tower, and take control. Not for long, but it's something.
A bit ...

I think I'm getting the hang of the Carbon Roller Deco. That's not to say I'm a better Splatoon player, though, as no weapon magically makes you good, so I will still make bad decisions and mistakes. And sometimes a Krak-On Splat Roller will just splat you wherever you are.
Inking ...

Tower Control and Blackbelly Skatepark. The mode and map that probably work least well for the Carbon Roller Deco and its Seekers. But that's okay! I bet I can do something.
I remember previous attempts at squidding over a ledge at an inkling shooting right at me, and discard them as ...

Back to the Blaster for a bit with Tower Control. I could stick with the Carbon Roller, but I am still practicing with the Blaster too. As can be told by the shaky start in my first battle of the evening. At least a timely Kraken helps me out afterwards.
Quite ...

Sticking with the Carbon Roller, seeing what it can do in Tower Control. Blackbelly Skatepark and Bluefin Depot don't seem ideal for the weapon, but I'm willing to give it a try, particularly as I'm still learning.
I'm not entirely sure what my tactics should be, as I can't really forge ...

Another burst of Tower Control has my breaking out the Blaster. I would like to get better with it, to the point where I am good. I still need to sort out my range more reliably, as is obvious quite early. But I think my manoeuvrability is getting better in ...
