Erk, inkling down! That doesn't bode well. Neither does missing a straight shot at the turf. I swear I shot a second time but got the timing wrong, and didn't just squid on uninked turf. But I did throw that Burst Bomb right on to a grate. But it can't ...

My Burst Bomb-blast doesn't quite work, but at least I pull my range on the Luna Blaster to avoided being splatted back. And I am a bit more brutal when first clearing the Tower. Even I can't miss at point blank range. I don't get far, as we're still feeling ...

I don't do well for a while in this battle. Despite stopping the purple Rainmaker, and helping our first push get a pretty good lead, I don't make great choices. I run in to ink, I keep my Seeker Rush going instead of squidding under incoming ink, and, worst of ...

I didn't know our Rainmaker carrier was going to head left, although maybe I should have anticipated it. My prospective forward Seeker leaves me with barely enough ink to rush the Rainmaker forwards to start with, but I get enough back to spearhead the push.
We meet a little resistance, but ...

My opening gambit doesn't work very well, perhaps leaving my squidmates one inkling down letting the green team get the upper hand. Then again, they dominate us for a while, so maybe I'd just have been splatted going along the main corridor. My second attempt doesn't go any better, with ...

That's some unintentionally good timing to avoid the Killer Wail pointed our way, and although I can't quite match the timing to catch the inkling trying to get on to our ledge, I'm happy to say I don't miss when he jumps right in front of my Squiffer. I jump ...

I get in a bit of a mess to start with, which isn't unusual, but manage to find space to take a breath and think that the Hero Charger Replica could probably pose us problems. I move to apply some pressure, and get a splat, but on the Rapid Blaster ...

That E-litre 3K is going to cause us problems, and I doubt I can squid down from the ledge safely. Instead, I go the long way around, which works surprisingly well. I have to catch up with the Tower, heading backwards, but I do so without the E-litre 3K breathing ...

If I move quickly enough, I may be able to get around the back of that E-litre 3K before she gets settled on her perch. I squid nice and quickly to the centre of the Mall, and am not interrupted heading around the back. But where's the E-litre 3K? There ...

That blue Splattershot pulls off a couple of good moves to splat me twice. The first time he inks a path to squid through the Suction Bombs I'm trying to use to keep him at bay, giving him a clear shot. The second time, he sees me sensibly avoid his ...
