Trying a Roller in Splat Zones (7-10, Splat Roller)

Sunday, January 1st, 2017

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 ...

Brutally simple Splat Zones (3-0, Splatterscope)

Tuesday, December 27th, 2016

I take my usual perch in Arowana Mall when I have the Splatterscope equipped, and aim for the squids in the Splat Zones. I know it doesn't look like it, but I really am trying to aim for them. There is a messy tussle for the Splat Zones, but they turn ...

Losing the Splat Zones, and gaining them again (10-5, Splatterscope)

Monday, December 26th, 2016

It's good to see the ink coming over the brow of the ramp in Arowana Mall. It makes the first splat more rewarding. I've been on the other end of those a few times, and it can make a squid a bit salty. It's good to know how it happens. That ...

Owning the Splat Zones (5-0, Splatterscope)

Monday, December 26th, 2016

Not my best start to a battle on Museum d'Alfonsino, dropping off the platform instead of squidding, but never mind. It's encouraging to see my mature response to getting to the Splat Zones and seeing an inkling squid away. I don't give chase, or fire indiscriminately, and instead splat the ...

Focussing on the Splat Zones (6-8, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, December 24th, 2016

I'm thinking the Tri-slosher will lead to some Splat Zone fun for me, and I go looking for it in the early stages of this battle. It seems that the other side wants to have fun too, and they find it more than I do. But I collect myself ...

Falling back in Splat Zones (4-2, Bento Splatterscope)

Thursday, December 15th, 2016

I have to say, I'm a little insulted that I rush to the Splat Zones, inking a path up Flounder Heights for all to use, and then my squidmate makes a parallel trail. I'm sure she knows what she's doing. More than me, anyway. I have a pitiful attempt at splatting ...

Taking charge of Moray Towers Splat Zones (10-3, Tri-slosher)

Saturday, December 10th, 2016

I love Moray Towers. Whether I'm facing chargers, playing a charger, or just running up and down either side of it, I think it's a great map, particularly with the extra blocks. I'm tempted to pull out the Splatterscope, but I think the Tri-slosher should work really well for sloshing ...

Fierce fight over the Splat Zones (16-10, Tri-slosher)

Friday, December 9th, 2016

What a great start to this Splat Zones battle! I make it to the Splat Zones, ink a bunch of turf, and get some decent splats. I even catch the tail end of a Kraken, probably disappointing him a little. What would have made it perfect would be catching both ...

Controlling the Splat Zones (4-2, Tri-slosher)

Friday, December 9th, 2016

A quick blast with the Hydra Splatling had my standing in one position on Museum d'Alfonsino, which was effective but not particularly interesting. Back to the Tri-slosher, looking for some action. I find it, too! Facing down the barrel of an Inkzooka is a little too much action, perhaps. I've got ...

Trying to break the beakons in Splat Zones (13-8, Tri-slosher)

Wednesday, December 7th, 2016

Time for the Tri-slosher! I think I'll be aiming for inklings more than the Splat Zones, but I never really know what I'm doing until I get in to the battle. But I almost inevitably get splatted in the first encounter. It feels that way, anyway. After the aborted mission in ...
