Tough lead to overcome in Rainmaker (11-8, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, April 18th, 2017

Not a great start to this battle. My first Seeker is okay, the second detonates too soon, and the lack of ink in my tank because of this restricts my options. I have to sit back and watch what occurs. I think I have a good opportunity with a Roller ...

Splats for everyone in Rainmaker (14-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, April 17th, 2017

There doesn't look to be a good Seeker path from the base on Hammerhead Bridge Rainmaker. But the Seeker glides over the podium nicely, and continues over the grating, even if it doesn't ink anything. It works a lot better than my second, rather lacklustre Seeker. But let's move on ...

Splatting to the podium in Rainmaker (10-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, April 17th, 2017

My Seeker is on the edge leading off this battle, but it's a straight line that I can follow. I hold back, not wanting to get mired in the initial tussle for the Rainmaker, where the Carbon Roller really doesn't want to be, and push forwards only when it looks ...

Splatting support in Rainmaker (14-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, April 16th, 2017

There's really only one way to go at the start of a battle on Mahi-Mahi Resort with a Carbon Roller Deco, and that's behind a launched Seeker, straight ahead. It works better when it goes straight too, but never mind that. And never mind about the Killer Wail splatting the ...

Carried away with splatting in Tower Control (10-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, April 13th, 2017

Some more Tower Control, and after a few fun but rusty Splatterscope battles in Kelp Dome I swap to the Carbon Roller Deco. So of course the next battle will be on the angles of Hammerhead Bridge. I can make it work, particularly with one battle for orientation. I start this ...

Splats everywhere in Tower Control (13-6, Carbon Roller Deco)

Thursday, April 13th, 2017

Right, time for some more concentrated splatting than with the Splatterscope. I pull out the Carbon Roller Deco to see if I can gain some Rank back. That early Seeker splat is nice, squidding in to a Splat Bomb less so. At least I get just about out of the ...

Carbon Roller double squish in Splat Zones (10-4, Carbon Roller Deco)

Tuesday, April 11th, 2017

Phew, I move just in time when lurking behind that wall. I don't want to rush in to being splatted, but I want to ink the Splat Zones. When nothing happens I push forwards, just as a Killer Wail starts to form around me. I must be feeling lucky, because ...

Squishy revenge in Tower Control (11-8, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, April 10th, 2017

That E-litre 3K could prove to be trouble for us in Tower Control in Museum d'Alfonsino, and for me in particular with my short-range Carbon Roller Deco. It would be nice if he didn't prove it within seconds of the battle starting, though. In a move that suggests personal progress, I ...

Caution pays off in Tower Control (5-2, Carbon Roller Deco)

Monday, April 10th, 2017

It's not the best-aimed Seeker I've thrown at the start of a Kelp Dome battle, but it hits the ramp well enough to ink a path over for me. This is not a cautious route, it has to be said, and actually quite aggressive. But once over the top, with ...

Being A-class in A Rank Rainmaker (9-5, Carbon Roller Deco)

Sunday, April 9th, 2017

This has been another big losing streak. From the middle of S Rank, a brief will-I/won't-I in A+, and down to A Rank. It's just been one of those weeks. Well, let's see if I can have some fun with my new almost-favourite weapon, the Carbon Roller Deco. I don't launch ...
