A pair of exemplary splats right at the start of the battle put me in a good mood. A couple of snatched shots make me look like a skilled charger, so I have to spend most of the rest of the battle proving that wrong.
I find it hard to resist ...

Note that when I take initial control of the tower, there are three purple squids, at least, contesting the central area, and only me representing the yellow squids. A look at the gamepad, as I have time during respawn, shows them to be faffing around at the edges. It's a ...

A change of weapon to the Splattershot Jr, to see if I can improve my performance in Tower Control. The map moves back from Hammerhead Bridge to Kelp Dome, but that shouldn't matter. I'm hoping the Bubbler will help me out.
What would also help is knowing what's happening. I completely ...

My previous Ranked battle pushed me up to A 97 rank. Will this evening see me reach even higher, up to A+ rank? Well, maybe the title of this video gives away the ending.
In this battle, I learn that I can't do a backflip off a wall on to the ...

Tower Control doesn't get much simpler than this. Go to the tower, ride it to the base. It's like Ice Cube telling us what to do.

It's good to see every squid spamming 'Nice!' as we reach the goal.
Let's have a second: Can we make it in Tower Control?
After early forays ...

This battle doesn't start out well. The different turf textures make me misjudge a jump, and it's straight in to the water. I hope my squidmates aren't relying on me.
The splats just keep on coming. And not my splatting them, but my being splatted. At least I lay down a ...

Back to the Splash-o-Matic, the weapon I was most comfortable with for a long time. Let's see what I can do with its straight firing line and Suction Bomb Rush.
And immediately I find a squid on the other team who is better with it than me. I try to remedy ...

I seem to be inking turf effectively, but not splatting the opposition to keep them away from our inked turf. But on reflection, it seems more like I am having a poor time keeping a suitable range.
The Custom Dual Squelcher can engage the opposition squids at quite a long range, ...

Hey, look: it's Eddie! No hard feelings from the last time I spotted him, I hope. We're on the same team this time, at least. Not that it seems to help. The other squids take control of the Splat Zones and use their range to keep hold of them.

Whatever we were doing in this battle, we were doing the right thing! Good turf control, I suppose, plus I managed to keep myself out of trouble for the most part.

I got to know Mahi Mahi Resort quite well during the previous Splatfest, helping with my situational awareness. Having a ...
