One early splat, almost averted by getting under the Splash Wall, but also cutting me off from an escape route I'd never take, and that's it for my being splatted. That doesn't happen often.
As is usual for me, I tend to ignore the Splat Zones and bit and go searching ...

I've had some initial experience with the Splat Roller, and swapped to the Splatterscope for a bit to have some fun for a bit. That doesn't work at all, with an excellent E-litre 3K on the other team denying me any time to find my aim. Let's see what I ...

I do much better in my second battle with the Splat Roller. Admittedly, having an excellent team behind me to take up my huge slack helps greatly. I hope they didn't notice me trying to squid on un-inked turf. I do know how to squid, honest.
I miss the jump-flick on ...

I've been splatted by Carbon Rollers quite a lot recently, and I was reluctant to say how powerful they seem before I took time to use one to see for myself. So I used one, and it does take some skill. The splash from the flick is really small, so ...

It's an untidy start to this Tower Control battle for me. I try to throw a Splat Bomb but fail, the one I throw bounces off the Tower, and then I fall off the Tower. Pressing forwards has my running headfirst in to a Heavy Splatling, and when I dodge ...

Hammerhead Bridge looks like it should be a good map for chargers, with its long and thin design. But there are so many elevation changes with blocks and grates either giving inklings flanking routes or blocking sight lines that I'm not quite sure a charger is the best weapon. That ...

It's been ages since I've played Hammerhead Bridge, and so my knowledge of this intricate map is a bit rusty. Like the Bridge itself. I revert to my normal plan of action, and grab the Rainmaker whether it's safe or not, and try to make some progress.
I make a bit ...

An E-litre 3K is on the other team. There was one on the other team in an earlier battle, and its range over my Splatterscope was obvious. It was obvious quite a few times, in fact. I hope I can be a better ambassador for the Splatterscope in this battle.
Actually, ...

As often happens when I'm having a bad streak of getting splatted and stomped, I decide to let the objective do what it wants and instead skirmish around the map.
I get to a decent spot early, but misjudge where the Dynamo Roller is, and how long it takes for him ...

I didn't make a good shake of the Splatterscope in Splat Zones. I don't think it's the maps, and I don't think it's the weapon. Maybe it's me, my ability waxing and waning like my mood, or maybe there's a cyclic nature behind when I'm matched against the skilful, wide-awake ...
