Straight down the middle at the start of this Tower Control battle. Lob a Disruptor over the top, and head down the side. Or get a Blaster to the back of the head.
My next push goes much better. I absorb a blaster shot, and go on a mini-rampage in to ...

Lots of chargers, two on each team. Good for Tower Control on Walleye Warehouse, and hopefully good for my prospects for flanking and getting behind them. I can do it with a bucket, but can I do it with a Blaster?
Apparently I can. I'm a bit slowed with the Blaster, ...

I eschew the side route to get up on the wall, hoping that my Splatterscope could be put to better use right down the centre. Not really, not to start with, although maybe the Splat Bomb lobbed over the top helped a little.
We take control of the Tower and push ...

I've got an itch to try a different weapon. The N-ZAP '89 looks good, and its range has often proved effective against me. I show that the range works for me too, as I splat the charger who has disappeared from his perch. But having good range means you don't ...

The bucket's working well for me. I am getting splats, which helps out the team, and makes me feel like I know what I'm doing. Maybe one day I can feel that way regularly with the Splatterscope.
I hope that the early clutch of splats is an indication of the battle ...

Time to bring out the bucket so that I can restore some dignity to my inkling. That's the plan, but the laggy feel to some of these splats isn't helping me feel in control. But I do what I can, which after that first splat means getting inky revenge.
Going behind ...

I'm really not that good with a charger, which I am proving tonight in A+ Rank Tower Control. Or perhaps other players are just much better than me, if there's a difference. Still, I need the practice, and don't want to rush back up to S Rank until I'm better, ...

One last battle in S Rank where I get more than a couple of splats, and leave with my dignity. I am pretty aggressive to start with, pushing right across to the other side of the map.
I get distracted by what I thought was an inkling, but is just a ...

That other charger is splatting my cloaca, and barely giving me time to aim a shot. The battles so far have my getting maybe one splat, and being splatted a whole lot more. It's kinda depressing.
At least in this battle I get a few more splats, which I can be ...

I'm tempting fate by switching the Splatterscope for my S Rank battles. I'm tempting fate to kick me straight back down to A+, with my blessing. Instead, it inspires me to take a route new to me on Hammerhead Bridge, and get an early splat.
I probably shouldn't have pushed so ...
