Late splatting in Tower Control (9-2, Tri-slosher)
24th March 2017 – 7.00 pmI get to the top of Flounder Heights nice and quickly again, and toss a Disruptor across the gap to try to catch any advancing inklings. Doesn't seem like I hit anything, but a purple inkling jumps across in to my Tri-sloshing!
My early dash means there isn't quite enough ink behind me to back off from a Splat Bomb efficiently, and so I leave a purple stain as my squiddy essence returns to our base. So it goes.
I go for the side route next, enjoying charging up my Bubbler a good portion, and how the grating is nicely designed to let even my Tri-slosher ink its way up the wall, given the right route. Another Disruptor thrown, and an inkling is splatted. Not by me, but I can claim the assist.
Time to clear up the purple mess! Maybe the Tower could be supported, but inking turf helps in its own way, letting us get back to the action more quickly and holding up the purple team. Sure, the Tower is lost and trundles back to the centre, but now we have turf, I have my Bubbler ready, and I'm right there to push again.
I don't think even my Bubbler would have saved me from that Killer Wail straight down the Tower's corridor. That's okay. I dust myself off and head back down the side, where I am able to take the surprise a Blaster, although maybe not in time to save a squidmate. It stops the next Killer Wail, though.
I'm not entirely sure what splatted that inkling on the top grate, but I'm happy for it to be attribute to me. And sloshing ink down on what must have been an inky inkling gets me a very lucky splat. They all count. My Bubblers ready again, and I use it to keep my streak going, and move on to support the Tower.
Inklings drop around me, but I am missed. Good, because I don't miss them. The Killer Wail misses too, just skewed below the Tower, letting it trundle forwards, and I get one last splat as it hits the goal. Knockout victory woomy!
This may be the highest rank I've achieved so far too. Not too shabby.
