A+ rank still eludes me in Tower Control

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 bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

Nope, we're stomped, resoundingly. Time for a silly weapon change, I think.

And a second video, as that one is so short: Only moments of competence in Tower Control

2-10 with the Splatterscope. To be honest, I wasn't expecting that much. Hammerhead Bridge is a map I'm not overly comfortable with normally, and I've equipped a charger. But I'm not going to reach A+ rank tonight, so I may as well experiment a little.

I ought to practice squidding up walls on grates too. And not forcing myself to ride the tower when I have a charger equipped, probably. I can't help myself!

A pretty dismal game for me and my team. I have to shoulder some of the responsibility here. I'm pretty useless for most of the battle. But what about the two splats I did get? Consecutive moments of brilliance! And, yes, I did spot that second squid diving in to the ink, it wasn't a purely speculative shot.

My only other moment of competence is right at the end, when I grab control of the tower to end the battle. I like to think it's the little things that count.
