Holding back a little doesn't get me in to much trouble to start with, which is a nice change, and I even get a good splat. All looks clear, so I ride the Tower, my squidmates coming along when they can, but even though I see the Splat Bomb and ...

Look at all that rapid shooting capability on the other side. I fear for my mostly untested lack of ability with the Fresh Squiffer, but nu kör vi! And here we do go, with a sweet first splat against a squid flat on the Tower. To be honest, having the ...

Trying to be conscientious about the objective doesn't go too well for me at the start of the battle. To be fair, I don't think flicking over that ledge is a good move for a Carbon Roller. I should remember that. I get lucky not being spotted dropping down the ...

Quick sloshing gets me above and to the flank of the yellow team nicely, all except for one yellow inkling who splats me back to base. At least I splat him too, so I don't feel my time was wasted, particularly as my squidmates capture the Splat Zones almost immediately ...

I see the E-litre 3K. Maybe if I'm fast enough I can sneak around the side of him. And I am fast enough, although the Range Blaster almost catches me. I try to get ahead, faltering a bit, but am not chased, so slink down and try to find the ...

I'm not sure I should always be the first to the Splat Zones. I like being quick, but I have to wonder if everyone else is purposely taking their time. Certainly, one the purple inklings is simply building up his Inkstrike to hit us as we approach, and I am ...

I'm still trying to improve my battling skills with a regular foray with the Blaster. I think it's working to some extent, but I often forget what I'm trying to do and revert to charging ahead hoping to get some splats. That's part of my battling I need to work ...

Have I toned down my recklessness since the previous battle? Hell no! It was a lot of fun, and as long as my current rank enables me to have that fun my battling will probably remain a little loose. Of course, getting snap-splatted by the Splat Charger reminds me that ...

I honestly think that battling with the Blaster is helping me improve my skill, even if I'm winning less than half of the battles. I'm also having as much as I would with other weapons. I pull out the Carbon Roller Deco purely to stop dropping below A-, as I ...

Time to pull out the Blaster again. It has been suggested that practising with the Blaster will improve my battles in general. We shall see. I've also read plenty of people saying that Blasters don't cover enough turf to be effective in Splat Zones. I don't think those people have ...
