Yep, I've been knocked down to A-. So it goes. I'm thinking I shouldn't be down here long, but not even my mad Splatterscope skillz with a Z are reliably helping me win the battles. It doesn't help when I forget to release the trigger before squidding.
One thing I notice ...

The Kelp Splatterscope! No relying on Splat Bombs this time. It seems like a good idea, with the Sprinkler for Splat Zones, and Killer Wail for Port Mackerel and Walleye Warehouse. That's if I manage to use them both, particularly as I still haven't got it in my head which ...

Tower Control is over, time to make good with my promise to play more with the Splat Roller. So I do, and it does not go so well. Rollers aren't as easy to play as good players make out. You can't just flick some ink and splat everyone in front ...

I'm riding out the Custom Blaster until Tower Control ends. It won't be long. But I will probably try the Blaster again, maybe even the Luna Blaster at last, given my performance tonight.
I start by trying to come right around the back of the other team. I would say it ...

I'm doing a bit better with the Blaster. Nothing great yet, but I still have to find my range. It doesn't help when battling against a Custom Range Blaster, but not realising it's a Range Blaster until you're blasted by it. I should stay a bit further back from that.
As ...

I didn't really give the Roller a long outing when I tried it. Afterwards, my sessions were short and I reverted to what I know. Still, I've set aside some time and plan to give the Roller more of a shot.
Then I see it's Tower Control, and am reminded how ...

I think that E-litre 3K has a bead on me as I dash to cross the middle of Arowana Mall. Surely he's seen me, and will be waiting for me to try to sneak up behind him. But it looks like he missed me, with the ease I slosh ink ...

Do you see the E-litre 3K on their team? Me too. That's my target, because she'll be critical in a Tower Control battle on Arowana Mall. My first aim is to get across the map as quickly as possible and try to splat her early, give us a chance to ...

Otherwise known as 'pushing my luck'. My plan with the Tri-slosher is the opposite to my plan with the Splatterscope. I go down the other side, across the centre, and around the back. What do you know, it works!
Because my initial plan works, I try it again. And it works ...

I try not to be too impetuous at the beginning of this Rainmaker battle, wanting instead to provide the support a charger should. Of course, this support includes inking paths for the Rainmaker, so my plan to hang back is amended when we take an early lead.
Well, 'lead', really. We ...
