Losing the lead in Rainmaker

Tuesday, July 12th, 2016

Running around with a charger, maybe I shouldn't be the one who grabs the Rainmaker and gets it close to the podium at the start of the battle. That doesn't stop me doing it, though. It's a better idea than trying to actually splat inklings with my charger, though. My aim ...

Losing track of the Rainmaker

Sunday, July 10th, 2016

I had a lot of fun with the Tri-slosher the other day, so I give it another go today. I apparently forgot that the previous Ranked mode was Tower Control, where the bucket is perhaps more useful, but that's okay! Rainmaker is fun too. I get a bit carried away with ...

Kelp Dome Rainmaker dunk

Saturday, July 9th, 2016

I find my Splatterscope works better when my own squidmates don't jump in front of me. Take note, inklings, particularly at the start of battles. Jumping off the base when you have a charger trying to lay a track can be counter-productive. My charger also works better from a distance. I ...

Some splatting in Rainmaker

Friday, July 8th, 2016

Another shaky start in this battle of Rainmaker. My aim and our Rainmaker carrying gets a bit better in the middle, but then I'm back to squidding on grates to refill my ink like a newbie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW1HFihHAlE I manage to get some good splats in still, and although I can't hit a ...

Falling at the last hurdle in Rainmaker

Thursday, July 7th, 2016

We get a great lead from the start, thanks to a clever inkling managing to sneak along the grating to come down a rather less-used route to the podium. We keep the pressure on, with the Rainmaker staying in opposition territory, until one of their inklings goes the long away back ...

My own private feud in Rainmaker

Friday, June 17th, 2016

I get a bit lucky at the start, where hanging around the centre doesn't see the Rainmaker get too far away from us. We even get it for ourselves and make some decent progress. Running in to the Killer Wail is a mistake, though. A couple of the opposition decide to ...

Losing sight of the Rainmaker

Thursday, June 16th, 2016

I decide to flank the Rainmaker at the start of this battle in Port Mackerel, thinking it to be a sneaky option. Maybe I get a cunning splat on a charger, but I completely lose track of where the Rainmaker is, to the whole team's detriment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmsZ5HMH-Pw We spend the rest of ...

Blundering back'n'forth in Rainmaker

Wednesday, June 1st, 2016

I have a great start to this Rainmaker battle, flushing out some inklings, getting the upper hand on an E-litre 3K user who's Burst Bomb Rushing towards me. I think I get a bit cocky after that. It seems that the Rainmaker has a longer range than the Splatterscope. Good to ...

Somehow turning it around on Rainmaker

Tuesday, May 31st, 2016

E-litre 3Ks, huh? What can you do? Get in to pointless duels with them, apparently. Playing the support role looks to be a good idea, as the other side are keen to keep the turf purple, making their pushes more quick and effective. But one of them isn't expecting me to ...

Muddling around in Rainmaker

Monday, May 30th, 2016

Sometimes, I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm doing. Of course, the start of any Ranked battle is fairly formulaic, and so it goes for this Rainmaker on Urchin Underpass. I even get a nice Splat Bomb splat and Splatterscope double. After that, I'm just making it up as ...
