Having swapped lobbies, I am now using the Splatterscope. A dodgy game followed by a couple of mediocre ones don't change my mind about weapon choice. I can make this work!
Camp Triggerfish comes up. I can cheese this map nicely, by bridging the centre gap with my charger. Maybe not ...

Our little team is doing well, beating all the Team Red inklings pitted against us. I'm sticking with the Splash-o-Matic so that I can stick with this team.
What I'm noticing more about Blackbelly Skatepark in this Splatfest than I think I have before is how much the railings get in ...

Three chargers on our team, two on theirs. That's to be expected for Camp Triggerfish, I suppose, but it doesn't make me confident all the same, so I go in to aggressive mode, looking to ride the tower and push in to opponent territory. It's not something I feel comfortable ...

I'm not convinced a charger is the best weapon for riding the tower. But it's actually not a bad choice on Camp Triggerfish. The tower is nearly always over water, with gaps from either side, and vulnerable mostly from long-range attack. Defending yourself along the route almost requires a charger.
Not ...

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 ...

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 ...

I've had plenty of fun with the Tri-slosher in Tower Control this evening. I swap to the Splatterscope to see if I can continue this trend, or if my first choice of weapon was wiser.
Camp Triggerfish should be friendlier to the charger than the slosher, with its long corridors and ...

After seeing that I can make the Tri-slosher work on Camp Triggerfish Tower Control, I'm going to keep on using it.
Spurred on by my previous success, albeit with some less succesful games in-between, I take a more pro-active tactic of preventing the enemy from controlling the tower, by splatting them ...

Camp Triggerfish is not a great level for the Tri-slosher. But the other map is, Blackbelly Skatepark, and Tower Control is a good mode in general for the Tri-slosher, so I'm ready to have buckets of fun.
Riding the tower is always fun. So is getting a triple-splat, closely followed by ...

I get a bit lucky at the start, where hanging around the centre doesn't see the Rainmaker get too far away from us. We even get it for ourselves and make some decent progress. Running in to the Killer Wail is a mistake, though.
A couple of the opposition decide to ...
