Sloshers assemble in Splat Zones

Monday, August 29th, 2016

Time to try a new weapon. It's Splat Zones again in Ranked battles, which seem to be coming up pretty often these days, which means spreading lots of ink around. I could use the Splatterscope, or the Dual Squelcher, or even the Splattershot Jr, but today I think I'll give ...

Keeping it purple in Splat Zones

Sunday, August 28th, 2016

I stick with the Splatterscope for now, thinking I can at least splash a lot of ink around the Splat Zones. Well, it doesn't look like I can face off against a fellow charger, not from the first encounter. Still, it was one of her squidmates sneaking up on me. My ...

Being good support in Splat Zones

Sunday, August 28th, 2016

I still feel rubbish in S-Rank battles. I don't think that feeling will go away any time soon. But I have to keep trying, I suppose. And although I still can't aim for toffee, my Splatterscope can at least provide nice long lines of ink across the Splat Zones when ...

Doing better in Splat Zones

Thursday, August 25th, 2016

Back for more Splat Zones. Let's see if all that time spent on Hammerhead Bridge in the recent Splatfest pays off. I don't have to get on top of the Splat Zones with my Splatterscope, and can hang back and still ink some turf. I am helped, of course, by my ...

Rusty start to Splat Zones

Wednesday, August 24th, 2016

Back in A+! Let's hope I don't get petulant and whiny because I get splatted within 10 seconds of the start of the first battle in the evening. I'm probably just a bit rusty. I'm going with the Dual Squelcher today, as its range should come in handy for the ...

Taking the higher ground in Splat Zones

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016

The Custom Dual Squelcher seems to be helping me be a little bit useful in S-Rank battles, and my fresh new hat looks good on me, so I continue battling. I seem to be learning from getting crushed so much to keep my distance from the other team. Or, more likely, ...

Trying to do something in S Rank Splat Zones

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

As much as I feel like a fish out of water in S-Rank battles, I hope to contribute to the team effort when I don't feel entirely demoralised. The Custom Dual Squelcher should let me stay out of the most obvious of trouble, as long as I respect its range, which ...

Coming back in Splat Zones

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

Which way to go at the start of Splat Zones on Kelp Dome. Right! Maybe. It seems to give a decent view, but only of my spindly tentacles to a Roller below me. I go right again, but ink ahead of me as a diversion. It doesn't really work. My Killer ...

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 ...
