My reticence at the start of the battle is because we have a smurf on our team. I don't like battling with or against smurfs, in much the same way that I wouldn't like to play Rugby against the Welsh national team. I'm just not that good and don't like ...

Ah, Saltspray Rig Splat Zones. Is there a more brutal map for Splat Zones? Probably not! I quite like it because of this, even if the winner is generally decided by whoever captures the Splat Zones first. I decide to try to sneak around the teal team to start with, ...

It's a rough start to the battle. I don't do myself any favours by dashing in to the line of fire in the middle of the Splat Zones, helping them turn orange, and at least I get a couple of splats to ease some of the pressure before I begin ...

My attempt to flank the purple team works well, in that I get behind them, but that Splattershot Jr is on the ball. Heading down the other corridor as a second option could have gone badly, nearly dropping on to a Kraken, but I make it to the end as ...

I don't recklessly grab the Rainmaker immediately, and keep checking to see if we're about to be flanked. It's a shame I miss the green ink in the background, but ultimately I don't think it matters. I also don't purposely pick up the Rainmaker, managing to inexpertly squid through the ...

My caution at the start of the battle pays off nicely. I get a splat instead of rushing in to being splatted, I spot the super-jumper coming in and wait for them to hop on to the Tower instead of being the target, and I clear the Tower and splat ...

Rapid Blaster beats my slow Grim Range Blaster, when boxes obscure the range. I should have stayed further back, I suppose. And already there's blue ink accumulating near our base. I take a cautious approach back, cautious enough to be out of range of the Roller heading to the Tower. ...

No splats for my initial rush, and leaping in to the air probably wasn't a wise decision. I make a good comeback, at least, saving one squid for later with a Disruptor, as my Bubbler charges to keep me safe. And I even hop on to the Tower to recover ...

My speed lets me get a neat double-splat to start the battle, but I can hear another inkling below me. I think I'm being smart to dive over the top away from the ramp, but I only jump in to a bomb. Our E-litre 3K is already a rock for ...

Zoom, down the middle, and up around the side, aiming to find and splat the E-litre 3K. I run in to the Dual Squelcher, but don't let him stop me, and even splat him so hard he disappears in a puff of dust. That's bad news for the yellow team, ...
