My goodness, what are my squidmates doing in this battle? The one time I see one riding the tower, he jumps off just as I do, and that's before it resets to the middle position.
I could understand their reluctance to ride the tower if a) they were successfully suppressing the ...

That first splat is so sweet! I even purposely wait a second longer to get that bit closer. I only notice on review that the charger is aiming at a squidmate, so thankfully that extra second didn't cost our team a splat. But that Luna Blaster is irritatingly better than ...

I'm kinda getting the hang of the Blaster. It helps to pay attention to the composition of the other team, see two chargers, and understand what they are likely to be doing. Or, perhaps, not doing, which is not look to their sides very often.
Flanking a charger is an effective ...

I've recently been facing Blasters in Tower Control and told myself to give them another try. Now's the time! But which Blaster? I suppose the default Blaster is the best newbies Blaster option, but maybe the Custom Blaster for its Bubbler special. That'll do, pig.
A couple of all-too-brief battles end ...

The temptation to ride the tower is strong, even when I am playing a role that is not best squipped for doing so. I don't mind, though. Being splatted is not the end of the world, even if it is probably best not to.
At leasting gettting closer to the action ...

Having two chargers on our team makes me more pro-active in moving forwards and not sticking to a perch in this battle of Tower Control. That's not to say I'll perform any better, but I feel it's a better option to take with our team's composition.
I enjoy playing this way, ...

I'm flitting between weapons this evening, happy with both the Tri-slosher for Tower Control, and the Splatterscope for the maps. It's good to have options too, as it can change the way I play. I still get splatted in silly ways, whatever I do. Jumping on the tower whilst equipped ...

Blaster, E-litre 3K, and Splatling on the other team, with my Tri-slosher equipped. I envisage having a hard time, if I try to face them head on. I try to be smarter and sneak around the edges, but the E-litre has moved there already, and is followed up by the ...

Camp Triggerfish Tower Control with the Splatterscope. This should be fun! I take the side route to get a decent perch, and even manage to splat someone by aiming! Of course, I soon am forced off that perch, but that's expected.
The opponents then take the attitude that turf control manes ...

Once I find a route that works, I tend to stick with it. At least for its general purpose, which at the start of Mahi-Mahi Resort is to outflank the opponents. Note how I skilfully encourage an inkling to jump in the water in this battle.
