After a cautious start, I think I make a decent pounce at a target, but my flicking either isn't quite good enough, or an inkling kitted out for run speed is just a bit too quick for me. I pick my moment well on my return, though, even if it ...

I don't want to press too hard in this battle, as recent battles have just seen me get splatted quickly when it could have been avoided. Hanging back and using my weapons sensibly works quite well to start with, even if it doesn't make us any positive progress with the ...

I hold back at our rotating platform at the start of this Tower Control battle, to support my squidmates from a position of relative safety. I lack a touch of aim and a little bit of range to do much but keep turf inked, but I dodge an Inkstrike and ...

Yeah, I'm still not great with a Blaster. Two indirect hits don't splat a Luna Blaster, who punishes me with a direct hit. And already we have an infiltrator, inking the turf purple as close to our base as he dares. I help try shoo him away, using Disruptors to ...

I try not to rush forwards in to trouble, and take a measured approach to riding the Tower. Naturally, as soon as I get on, when it looks clear, I am under inky pressure and hop off again. As my Disruptor throw goes nowhere, I get myself somewhere, and decide ...

A Seeker for my squidmates, but I'm heading around the side to get to the other Splat Zone. Eventually, at least. Or not even eventually, as a blue inkling going the longer way around gets my attention. But I'm cautious not to get splatted, and that means I am too ...

I've not played with the Blaster for a while. A few battles reminds me why: it's pretty difficult to do well. That means I need more practice! I also know some people think the Blaster is not suited to Splat Zones, unconvinced about its ink coverage, but I think it ...

I try to make use of our Splatterscope's ink to go faster, rather than slosh redundant ink. It works to get me closer to the E-litre 3K scope faster. Even though it's the Octoshot Replica that splats me, I'm more concerned about the E-litre 3K and attribute the splat to ...

Trying to jump around the Rainmaker to engage the yellow inklings doesn't quite go to plan, but at least I'm safely knocked to the ground. Or so I think. Maybe a less direct route would be better. A squidmate agrees, although I am now quite aware that the yellow team ...

I spy that inkable block for Rainmaker. That'll stop me taking the long route around the side for no reason. I get up on to the perch nice and quickly, but the Rainmaker Shield once more obstructs my aim. And I almost have a point this time, because despite my ...
