Getting involved in Tower Control (8-5, Splatterscope)

Friday, January 27th, 2017

I've learnt that I can travel down Moray Towers at the start of the battle more quickly with just a short charge of the Splatterscope. That's great! This is also the second battle in a row where I drop off the edge as I get to my perch. At least ...

Charger vs charger in Tower Control (6-4, Splatterscope)

Friday, January 27th, 2017

Yikes, an E-litre 3K Scope on the other team. I'm far from surprised, with both Arowana Mall and Moray Towers available for Tower Control. I just doubt my own ability with a charger most of the time, and when I am out-ranged significantly too I get a bit worried about ...

Shenanigans in Tower Control (16-7, Tri-slosher)

Thursday, January 26th, 2017

Straight down the middle at the start of this Tower Control battle. Lob a Disruptor over the top, and head down the side. Or get a Blaster to the back of the head. My next push goes much better. I absorb a blaster shot, and go on a mini-rampage in to ...

They're getting wise to me in Tower Control (17-6, Blaster)

Thursday, January 26th, 2017

Lots of chargers, two on each team. Good for Tower Control on Walleye Warehouse, and hopefully good for my prospects for flanking and getting behind them. I can do it with a bucket, but can I do it with a Blaster? Apparently I can. I'm a bit slowed with the Blaster, ...

Getting a few shots in during Tower Control (7-4, Splatterscope)

Wednesday, January 25th, 2017

I eschew the side route to get up on the wall, hoping that my Splatterscope could be put to better use right down the centre. Not really, not to start with, although maybe the Splat Bomb lobbed over the top helped a little. We take control of the Tower and push ...

Trying out the N-ZAP '89 in Splat Zones (10-8, N-ZAP '89)

Wednesday, January 25th, 2017

I've got an itch to try a different weapon. The N-ZAP '89 looks good, and its range has often proved effective against me. I show that the range works for me too, as I splat the charger who has disappeared from his perch. But having good range means you don't ...

Buckets of splats in Tower Control (15-8, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, January 24th, 2017

The bucket's working well for me. I am getting splats, which helps out the team, and makes me feel like I know what I'm doing. Maybe one day I can feel that way regularly with the Splatterscope. I hope that the early clutch of splats is an indication of the battle ...

Turning it around on Tower Control (16-9, Tri-slosher)

Tuesday, January 24th, 2017

Time to bring out the bucket so that I can restore some dignity to my inkling. That's the plan, but the laggy feel to some of these splats isn't helping me feel in control. But I do what I can, which after that first splat means getting inky revenge. Going behind ...

Riding the tower in Tower Control (5-2, Splatterscope)

Monday, January 23rd, 2017

I'm really not that good with a charger, which I am proving tonight in A+ Rank Tower Control. Or perhaps other players are just much better than me, if there's a difference. Still, I need the practice, and don't want to rush back up to S Rank until I'm better, ...

A few more splats in S Rank Splat Zones (7-6, Kelp Splatterscope)

Monday, January 23rd, 2017

One last battle in S Rank where I get more than a couple of splats, and leave with my dignity. I am pretty aggressive to start with, pushing right across to the other side of the map. I get distracted by what I thought was an inkling, but is just a ...
