Returning to the Splatterscope on Tower Control (7-2, Splatterscope)

Remember when I used to run around with a Splatterscope, almost exclusively? Yeah, me too. Then I got in to the higher ranks and started getting stomped, leading me to try other weapons. Well, no more! I'm going back to the Splatterscope for a bit, whatever the maps, whatever the battle mode. If it drops me down a rank or two, that's where I will go.

Tower Control is okay, not that there is a bad mode for a charger, I suppose, just sub-optimal maps. Arowana Mall is excellent! Blackbelly Skatepark, well, maybe not so good for me. But I'm doing this.

I head straight for my normal perch and straight away miss a couple of shots. But I make the corner shot, push forwards, and splat the inkling on the opposite platform. Excellent!

That gets me in to the right frame-of-mind and mood to play a charger again. I try to balance keeping my distance with staying with my squidmates. I even have the presence of mind to retreat when necessary, which accounts for my lack of being splatted.

A nice highlight is splatting the inkling placing the Killer Wail, although not before it fires. And in the last minute, I move forwards to try to get the opponent Splatterscope off her threatening perch, only to stumble in to her, a squidmate already having done it. And, thankfully, splatting her.

I fumble around on my gamepad trying to work out which button lets me shout 'Nice!' I do it before we get the knockout, which is, well, nice. A great return to the Splatterscope for me. Woomy!
