Not your typical charger in Tower Control

Friday, September 30th, 2016

Chargers should really hang back, shoot from afar, keep a safe anchor for the team. And I try to do that, most of the time. Maybe some of the time, at least. But I get caught up in the heat of the battle, and like to support my team. And ...

Messy Mahi-Mahi Resort in Hoverboard Splatfest

Monday, September 26th, 2016

The last Mahi-Mahi Resort battle with the Splatterscope went really smoothly. I aim to have a similar experience this time. But, of course, that's not really up to me. I kinda get embroiled in the turf war more sooner, down to my own desire to be mobile. That shot on the ...

Relaxing at the resort in Hoverboard Splatfest

Monday, September 26th, 2016

I'll just hang back and take it easy on Mahi-Mahi Resort, much like on Saltspray Rig. I don't really have the vantage point here as I do on the Rig, but I shouldn't feel pressured in to venturing far from our base. I ink some turf, then try to deal with ...

Slightly better aim in Hoverboard Splatfest

Sunday, September 25th, 2016

Saltpray Rig again, with the Splatterscope. I will try to keep to the higher ground and keep our turf inked. I will also try to splat more inklings, and not simply miss them again and again. It's a good start, with a nice stationary traget for me to aim at, and ...

Poor aim in Hoverboard Splatfest

Sunday, September 25th, 2016

Using a shooter on Saltspray Rig sees me make a beeline for the higher ground, trying to hold it. Using a charger, on the other hand, makes me think I can be of more use holding the lower turf, and from the comfort of our base level. I can cover plenty ...

Mahi-Mahi mayhem in Hoverboard Splatfest

Saturday, September 24th, 2016

There are good perches for competent chargers in Mahi-Mahi Resort. I think I should stick to inking turf. My failure to splat the Slosher coming over the block just confirms that notion. At least the turf is open enough to allow me lots of good sight-lines to ink turf, even if ...

Splat Bombin' in Hoverboard Splatfest

Saturday, September 24th, 2016

The Splatterscope is a great weapon on Moray Towers in the right tentacles. Luckily, for those of us without the right tentacles, we can always fall back on the Splat Bombs, and the Rush Special. I'm actually impressed that my first two splats are from aiming the Splatterscope, although maybe I ...

Watch the skies in Hoverboard Splatfest

Friday, September 23rd, 2016

Not a great battle for me. That inkling is not going to approach when I'm on my perch, and I miss him when he jumps. And my Splat Bomb throws are a bit feeble. And I am lacking just that little bit of range when I see an Inkstrike being ...

Trying to evade in Hoverboard Splatfest

Friday, September 23rd, 2016

We were two chargers and two Rollers. Not the best combination, but it worked a bit. One Roller drops out, and we get a shooter as a replacement. That feels like it should be better. I have an opposite number, it seems. A Splatterscope on the orange team who is out ...

Securing the Splat Zones

Monday, September 19th, 2016

Moray Towers is in the rotation. I grab my Splatterscope without even seeing what Ranked mode is live. I really like Moray Towers (and there is only ten minutes before a Squid Sisters update). Splat Zones! That'll do, pig. My Splatterscope can reach across the Splat Zones nicely, and I can ...
