I know I say I'm not a camper, but I also admit that I play aggressively. I find Bluefin Depot offers a good challenge for getting near the other team's base, as there is really only one route, and it is up an uninkable, unsquiddable grate. I like getting up ...

More Turf War! The Splattershot Jr for me this time, with my natty new hat. I'm looking pretty fresh, this is going to be a good battle.
I ink turf to ink turf, but also to charge my Special. Once charged, it's up to the top to engage the pink team. ...

Let's have a game of Turf War. I'll stick with the Splatterscope, because why not?
Of course, because it's Turf War, the focus is on inking turf, so instead of rushing to the centre of the map, and any objective there, I start by inking turf. Good tactic!
I get enough ink ...

Chargers versus Rollers and Gals. As we're on Camp Triggerfish, we probably ought to win this battle comfortably, as we should be able to control the crossing point at the middle of the map without too much trouble. It will only be the last minute of the battle when the ...

Note the pause after the Splatterscope charges. No one jumps in front of me this time, good. I get to my favoured perch and start with a splat! Then completely miss a relatively easy target.
Back to some splats and good self-preservation, and a decent shot from the ground up to ...

Low-level inklings abound in this Splatfest battle. Lucas is even 1st level! I make a note and try not to be mean, mostly to him, but in general.
Looks like I catch Lucas in my first Splat Bomb Rush, but I also get my intended target (and another inkling) and didn't ...

I dunno what possesses me to try a completely new weapon during the Splatfest. Maybe it was used against me effectively in an earlier battle. At least I take the Custom Hydra Splatling out to the range before taking it in to Turf War.
I think I can control the Hydra ...

I've been abusing the Splatterscope, so let's change weapons. On to the Splattershot Jr, another favourite of mine these days.
The Splattershot Jr naturally requires its own strategies. My normal tactic with shooters is to advance quickly, cross to the opponents' territory, and be a pest. But for the Splattershot Jr ...

Stop jumping in front of my charged Splatterscope, dammit. I would blame that faux pas for my not reaching the middle before the Splatling, but that's just silly and a little salty. It's no big deal really.
Neither's that first Killer Wail. To be honest, I could see it coming. The ...

Having swapped lobbies, I am now using the Splatterscope. A dodgy game followed by a couple of mediocre ones don't change my mind about weapon choice. I can make this work!
Camp Triggerfish comes up. I can cheese this map nicely, by bridging the centre gap with my charger. Maybe not ...
