I've seen chargers being used on Kelp Dome before, but normally in the tentacles of competent squids. They manage to find good perches that allow them decent lines-of-sight, and can recharge their ink when they want. When I've tried a charger on Kelp Dome, I find I either have a ...

Titles for battles are difficult. There are only so many combinations of events that occur, even if the battles themselves are wonderfully dynamic. In this case, I encounter a couple of Krakens. Excellent, I think, when the second appears. At least I have a title for my video.
I start at ...

A change of scenery! Museum d'Alfonsino crops up in the Pineapple Splatfest. It's quite an open map, with some side routes, and just one way to cross the middle—up and across the central rotating platform. That's quite a pinch point, and as I show quite early, you need to watch ...

The fun with the Kelp Splatterscope was good, but I want Pineapples to be recognised as tasty on a pizza, so I pull out the Splash-o-matic once more. Maybe we've already had too much havoc on Arowana Mall, but this last foray in to my wreaking it is perhaps the ...

It's the following morning of the Splatfest. After an evening of wreaking havoc with the Splash-o-matic I decide to switch back to my Splatterscore. I know I can be useful on Arowana Mall, I've found good tactics for Kelp Dome, and there is a lot of open space on Museum ...

A defeat on Arowana Mall in Splatfest is nothing, really. It's a Splatfest after all, and there are titles to be earned. I queue up for the next game, and again it's in Arowana Mall. My standard opening move is nearly caught before I climb the side wall, and laying ...

Standard start, goes okay, some resistance down the alley, but at least I don't rush headlong in to my first splat. It takes a little more time than it often does. But as is usual when splatted initially, when I respawn I take some time to ink turf close to ...

More Splatfest Turf War on Arowana Mall, and with my Splash-o-Matic I am again wreaking havoc. My start is impeded slightly by trying to shoot ink through a fellow squid's head, but that's going to happen when we're all bunched up at the start. I quickly get on my way ...

It's not just Arowana Mall being used for the Splatfest. The other two maps get plenty of inking too. I stick with my Splash-o-Matic, though, as the issue of liking pineapple on pizzas is too significant to muck around with a weapon I'm less comfortable with. In this Splatfest Turf ...

More havoc in Arowana Mall. My opening move with the Splash-o-matic is generally to get to the opponent's side of the map as quickly as possible, then, well, it all gets a bit fluid after that. There's not much you can predict in the average game. Having said that, a ...
