Rough ride in Tower Control

Monday, March 28th, 2016

A couple of frustrating Tower Control battles had me almost quitting for the night. The Tri-slosher wasn't working against aggressive splatters who pretty much ignored the objective, which wasn't the way I wanted to play. But I decided to switch weapon and give it another go. I like Splatoon too ...

Suppressed by chargers in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Saturday, March 12th, 2016

The Dual Squelcher may have a good range, but it's not as good as a charger. In the right tentacles, a charger is a good suppression weapon, and these squids have the right tentacles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8wrVCus7f0 And in the next battle, after a shaky start, I get to the top rank with a ...

Golo considered harmful during Rich or Fit Splatfest

Friday, March 11th, 2016

A new lobby gets me a new squidmate to enjoy. Golo may not be that harmful, but he gets himself in to good positions and definitely causes a nuisance. I think I like him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_B2-Q5MYGg But the squids in the next battle are mostly newsquids, and I feel guilty for staying so ...

Close call in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Thursday, March 10th, 2016

The battle felt closer than it turned out to be, even though it's still quite close, maybe because that Killian squid kept jumping me from out of nowhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_DlfkAThx8 He's an aptly named kid, that's for sure. A disconnection before the next battle gives me the opportunity to change my equipment, so I ...

Leaving them to it on Rich or Fit Splatfest

Monday, March 7th, 2016

Another dominating game in the EU Splatfest, with Ben and Steiner, plus a random squid that's changing each game now. I leave them to it at the opponents' base when I realise we've got them cornered, and return to ink some of the turf we've bypassed. I think the others have ...

Blue murder in Rich or Fit Splatfest

Sunday, March 6th, 2016

It's a Money vs Money battle in the Splatfest, so the colours change around for us. Either the others aren't trying so hard, with nothing on the line for the Splatfest, or we are being a bit too aggressive in pushing forwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyEqk3SIfcE I think our team are gelling quite well. Ben and ...

Pushing a bubbler in to water in the Rich or Fit Splatfest

Saturday, March 5th, 2016

The Tri-slosher Nouveau is still working for me in the Splatfest, although I'm starting to feel the effects of its short range. Not to start with, thankfully, and neither when I take the side route in reverse to get to the opponents' base. There's always so much more turf to ink ...
