Back and forth mayhem in Rainmaker (5-7, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, October 19th, 2016

Tonight's not my night with the Splatterscope. I'm not getting the splats, my aim isn't there. More than usual. I may not be aiming well, but I'm squidding okay. I squid up a neat wall to the Rainmaker to start with, even if I probably shouldn't, but I survive, and get ...

Just about competent in Rainmaker (5-6, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016

I'm not really feeling it with the Splatterscope this evening. That should be a hint to swap weapons, but I did want to get back in to practice with the Splatterscope, so I'll persevere for now. Or maybe I should swap to the Splattershot, as that inkling with the rather basic ...

Poor defending in Rainmaker (6-6, Splatterscope)

Monday, October 17th, 2016

Rainmaker, on Bluefin Depot and Arowana Mall. I'm sticking with the Splatterscope, as the stages are good and I've been doing pretty well. Let's hope I can keep it up, in the face of an E-litre 3K. No, not really. She out-ranges and out-skills me, and my reactions aren't quick enough. ...

Last-minute goal in Rainmaker (5-7, Splatterscope)

Monday, October 17th, 2016

Let's see if I can make amends for the previous battle. Not by splatting that Roller, it seems. Not until he stands stock still for me, anyway. Desperate to do better, I grab the Rainmaker as soon as it is available and dash for the opposition turf. Of course, that doesn't ...

Badly losing the battle in Rainmaker (11-6, Splatterscope)

Sunday, October 16th, 2016

It's not a bad loss, we just lose in a way that is really bad for me. But that's closer to the end, really. I wonder what my strategy is for Mahi-Mahi Resort Rainmaker as the battle begins. Ink turf, aim for inklings, wing it in finding safe perches, I suppose. The ...

Almoooost in Rainmaker (10-9, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, October 11th, 2016

I decide which side to flank based on the side of the podium I start on for this battle. I can't help but pause for a splat, though. Once I'm back on track, I flank effectively, although maybe without splats. The splats come from a second flanking move, once I work ...

Clearing the way ahead in Rainmaker (3-2, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, October 11th, 2016

I'm sticking with the Tri-slosher. Maybe I should re-introduce more weapon variety, but I like the bucket quite a lot. I'm also sticking with my plan to flank the opposition early and often. I don't catch out an inkling quite so easily this battle, and although I disrupt him it is ...

A good start going tits up in Rainmaker (7-8, Tri-slosher)

Monday, October 10th, 2016

My first battle of the session, and I am already thinking about flanking the opposition and being a disruption. It works quite well to start with, although that first splat had the inkling perhaps lacking a little awareness. The following two were just my good positioning, though. I make a poor ...

Getting inky in Rainmaker (7-8, Tri-slosher)

Monday, October 10th, 2016

More Tri-sloshing on Rainmaker, this time in Museum d'Alfonsino. I try for a falnking manoeuvre again to start with, after a previous battle that reminded me of the extra blocks, and it nearly works. I get a splat, but it's mutual. I like the route, though, so I tend to use ...

Flanking for the knockout in Rainmaker

Sunday, October 9th, 2016

Pretty much this whole match is an accident. I want to jump past the Rainmaker to get a splat or two and slow down the opposition, but I get bumped to the side. Sure I get a splat, but not the way I wanted. Not inking the wall properly doesn't work ...
