Doing okay in Splat Zones

Sunday, August 21st, 2016

Still struggling in S-Rank battles. The Dual Squelcher seems to be a decent choice for me in Mahi-Mahi resort Splat Zones, giving me the range I need to stay out of direct trouble, and the Resort giving me enough options to stay at range. Not that I stay out of trouble, ...

We blue it in Splat Zones

Sunday, August 21st, 2016

Sometimes I use a weapon kind of how it was designed to be used. For the Dual Squelcher, I assume this to be keeping at long range and not squidding in to short-range encounters. For the Custom Dual Squelcher, the Killer Wail Special can also be used as a suppressive ...

Taking the tower to the goal on Mahi-Mahi Resort

Friday, July 22nd, 2016

Once I find a route that works, I tend to stick with it. At least for its general purpose, which at the start of Mahi-Mahi Resort is to outflank the opponents. Note how I skilfully encourage an inkling to jump in the water in this battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r171OF-O4QY I mix my time up ...

Mahi-Mahi Resort Tower Control

Thursday, July 21st, 2016

Luna Blasters have been around for ages in Tower Control, and although they are frustrating I can see why they are so useful. Or because they are so frustrating, for the other team. But there seems to be a new-found interest in Blasters in general, which is even more frustrating, ...

First look at Mahi-Mahi Resort Tower Control

Wednesday, July 20th, 2016

What do Mahi-Mahi Resort and Ancho-V Games have in common? That I lose my first Tower Control battle on each. Maybe if I didn't lose sight of the tower and head the wrong way, only to turn around and jump in to the water, the battle could have gone differently. I ...

Keeping it blue in the Splat Zones

Monday, April 25th, 2016

This battle doesn't start out well. The different turf textures make me misjudge a jump, and it's straight in to the water. I hope my squidmates aren't relying on me. The splats just keep on coming. And not my splatting them, but my being splatted. At least I lay down a ...

Rocking the Splat Zones

Thursday, April 21st, 2016

Whatever we were doing in this battle, we were doing the right thing! Good turf control, I suppose, plus I managed to keep myself out of trouble for the most part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eL5bcDkvp0 I got to know Mahi Mahi Resort quite well during the previous Splatfest, helping with my situational awareness. Having a ...

Where's the support in Splat Zones?

Wednesday, April 20th, 2016

I'm sure my squidmates are doing something, I just don't really know what. Mind you, a pattern throughout the evening on Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones is seeing one team with the longer-range weapons dominate. As the other map is Mahi-Mahi Resort, it's a tough call what to equip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CnM1eYRKWY I hoped my Splattershot ...

One squid down in Rainmaker

Saturday, April 2nd, 2016

The battle starts with our team missing a squid. I think we know which way the battle is going to go, but there's nothing to do but give it the best of British. We put up a good struggle, given the circumstances, and I even think we have a chance of ...

Many mistakes are made in Mahi Mahi Resort Rainmaker

Wednesday, March 30th, 2016

Not all the mistakes are made by me, but I reckon a good portion of them are. It's my first game of the evening, I've made the bold choice of the Splatterscope in Mahi Mahi Resort, and I turn out to be playing against players obviously better than me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-JxEk5oymc Honestly, I'm ...
