Hammerhead Bridge looks like it should be a good map for chargers, with its long and thin design. But there are so many elevation changes with blocks and grates either giving inklings flanking routes or blocking sight lines that I'm not quite sure a charger is the best weapon. That ...

The open spaces of Museum d'Alfonsino, and an E-litre 3K Scope on the other team. I doubt I'll fare well in this Tower Control battle, although I pull off a decent splat to start with. Immediately I am reminded how other chargers are better than me, though.
Still, I do like ...

It's been ages since I've played Hammerhead Bridge, and so my knowledge of this intricate map is a bit rusty. Like the Bridge itself. I revert to my normal plan of action, and grab the Rainmaker whether it's safe or not, and try to make some progress.
I make a bit ...

I take my usual perch in Arowana Mall when I have the Splatterscope equipped, and aim for the squids in the Splat Zones. I know it doesn't look like it, but I really am trying to aim for them.
There is a messy tussle for the Splat Zones, but they turn ...

It's good to see the ink coming over the brow of the ramp in Arowana Mall. It makes the first splat more rewarding. I've been on the other end of those a few times, and it can make a squid a bit salty. It's good to know how it happens.
That ...

Not my best start to a battle on Museum d'Alfonsino, dropping off the platform instead of squidding, but never mind. It's encouraging to see my mature response to getting to the Splat Zones and seeing an inkling squid away. I don't give chase, or fire indiscriminately, and instead splat the ...

I'm thinking the Tri-slosher will lead to some Splat Zone fun for me, and I go looking for it in the early stages of this battle. It seems that the other side wants to have fun too, and they find it more than I do. But I collect myself ...

Not my best start to a Rainmaker battle on Camp Triggerfish. I wonder if my Splatterscope squidmate will want the fence-top perch, and am willing to take the low road if he does. Our Slosher wants a bit of high-up action too, and as I can't even squid up the ...

Friday, December 23rd, 2016
I can't stay away from the Splatterscope. Sometimes I even have a good battle with it. And I think I prefer the plain Splatterscope than the Bento version, as the Splat Bombs come in far too useful, as I demonstrate early on. I also show that I can aim sometimes.
I'm ...

I like my buckets, but I think the Tri-slosher Nouveau may be better for Rainmaker than the basic bucket, with the Seeker painting long straight(ish) lines. Not so handy on Ancho-V Games, perhaps, but I'll see if I can make them work. And can I survive without a Bubbler?
I get ...
