I don't aggressively plunge myself in to a silly situation to start this battle, and I survive more than fifteen seconds. I should hang back and be sensible more often. I send out Seekers to make ink tracks, and try to keep myself safe. We lose the Splat Zones to ...

There's a charger on the other team, so my starting gambit is to head right around the back to see if I can splat them on their perch. She's not on the perch, though, and before I drop down to catch her from behind, a squidmate has done it first. ...

The raised corridor seems to be the best route to take for a charger at the start of Port Mackerel Splat Zones. If nothing else, it inks a vital path for later use, should our Splat Zone come under pressure, and it is a nice place to start the battle ...

Oh yeah, I don't shoot the back of a squidmate's head. I'm learning. At least in parts. I don't think my aim has improved much. But I think I realised why recently, some time after this battle though, that taking my finger off the trigger jolts my aim a little. ...

What's this, I'm not going immediately for the E-litre 3K Scope? Not this time. A bit of caution instead, just working out who is going where. The E-litre 3K looks to be on the normal perch, ripe for a jump-slosh, but if she's good I could be splatted mid-air. Besides, ...

I'm aiming to jump the conveyer belt and slosh the Kelp Splatterscope on the normal perch, but my squid-sense tingles as a Seeker zooms past me. I turn and get a nice early splat, before enacting my plan. Maybe it's good that I wasn't first to make the jump, as ...

I'm sure if I practice enough, I'll be good with a charger one day. I'm also sure Splatoon 2 will be released first. But at least at my ranks, some other chargers have similar aim to me, and my first exchange with the Splatterscope ends in a no-score draw. Moving ...

Thursday, September 14th, 2017
My standard gambit on Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones works smoothly, and an opportunistic flick gets my first splat, no doubt surprising the purple inkling coming over the wall. With no opposition, I push forwards early, crossing the bridge and dropping down on what looks like an easy splat, but the ...

Those Sprinklers are tenacious. Long-range weapons also have an obvious advantage in Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones. I doubt my Carbon Roller's flick would reach across the gap at all. But we play to our strengths, so I keep the local turf inked as my squidmates head off to engage the ...

We get to our Splat Zone cleanly enough, and two of us go through it. I turn back, as is normal, to help secure the Splat Zone. The blue team are pushing early to contest it, though. One squidmate succumbs to the ink, and although I repel one intruder, I ...
