It occurs to me that I haven't battled with a shooter for ages, preferring instead the less traditional weapons. But I used to, so I'm going back to them for a bit. The obvious first choice is the Splash-o-matic, the first weapon I mained. My strategies don't really change much, ...

Trying to play the objective in S Rank Tower Control against Japanese players willing to stay up beyond 2 in the morning is an exercise in frustration. I am not having fun.
I am close to dropping out of S Rank, though, which may give me temporary respite from feeling completely ...

Back in S Rank, in a lobby filled with Japanese players who are up at 2 am. I am having a terrible time, being matched against players who clearly take this game much more seriously than I do.
I've switched between several weapons and just done horribly in every battle. I ...

My not-quite-a-rampage worked well in the previous battle, so that's my strategy for this one too. I think a skirmishing approach will be necessary too, with that E-litre 3K in the other team.
Thankfully, I catch the E-litre 3K looking the other way immediately, and her reaction is to run in ...

I'm having a bad time this evening. I can't get my normal choices of weapons to work for me. I'm getting a little frustrated, which calls for a more radical change than just the weapon.
I pick the Splash-o-Matic and decide to mostly ignore the objective, and instead try to go ...

I don't go straight for opponent territory in this Splatfest battle on Mahi-Mahi Resort. I still get splatted with little delay, so maybe my normal tactic is fine after all.
I keep trying to be a bit more circumspect in my inking, rather than aggressive, but it doesn't seem to affect ...

Inkbrushes are quick! Quicker than me, however hard I try, so I simply tag along for the boost. It's a good move, getting me to the top of Saltspray Rig nicely.
Spraying some ink around is interrupted by a Kraken, which I know can climb up and splat me, so I ...

Moray Towers in the second Hoverboard Splatfest battle! Let's see what I can do. It has been a while since I've been here for a Turf War.
Of course, the map has been modified, so my normal route isn't quite as effective, or risky, and I adopt a different route that ...

I start the Hoverboard Splatfest with a safe, comfortable weapon, the Splash-o-Matic. I will switch a few times, particularly as Moray Towers is one of the maps, but it's good to get a decent start.
First battle is on Saltspray Rig, a map that I like, but where circumstances can go ...

Our little team is doing well, beating all the Team Red inklings pitted against us. I'm sticking with the Splash-o-Matic so that I can stick with this team.
What I'm noticing more about Blackbelly Skatepark in this Splatfest than I think I have before is how much the railings get in ...
