Moray Towers is in the rotation, which would be time to break out the Splatterscope, but the other map is Hammerhead Bridge. Well, if I can make it work on Kelp Dome, I can see what I can do on the Bridge.
I look for a perch of relative safety that ...

A pair of exemplary splats right at the start of the battle put me in a good mood. A couple of snatched shots make me look like a skilled charger, so I have to spend most of the rest of the battle proving that wrong.
I find it hard to resist ...

Note that when I take initial control of the tower, there are three purple squids, at least, contesting the central area, and only me representing the yellow squids. A look at the gamepad, as I have time during respawn, shows them to be faffing around at the edges. It's a ...

Okay, the Inkzooka only splats me a couple of times, but with that range and accuracy it is quite noticable, particularly as it can come out of nowhere. And, sure, coming from a splatterscope user, I realise I can't really complain.
I try to stay back and make use of the ...

The other side has a charger too. An E-litre, and in the tentacles of a competent squid. He hides his laser sight and everything. It leads to some surprise splats, but I like to think I can give as good as I get. Or good enough, anyway. I just need ...

Splat Zones today! The two maps are Kelp Dome and Urchin Underpass, so I know full well that I am pushing my luck in sticking with the Splattterscope, but I am hoping that its ability to cover a long stretch of turf quickly will be an advantage. I just need ...

This is not one of my better starts to a Tower Control battle. Okay, so I let the longer-range charger have the main perch and hit my secondary perch instead, and get a nice early splat, but all that squidding about outside of my own ink is a bit embarrassing. ...

9-2 with the Splatterscope on Piranha Pit Tower Control is not too shabby! I also try to help the team out by keeping the turf inked our colour, particularly if my squidmates are mired in green.

I have to admit, I didn't realise we were so closing to winning, and so ...

I'm on a winning streak in Ranked tonight, bagging a handful of wins in a row. As I quit the lobby for a brief pause, this gives Splatoon the opportunity to pit me against some S-rank players when I return. Okay then.

The battle goes better than expected, even when I ...

Okay, maybe my early mojo is settling down a bit now, but that's okay. At least I make the most of a tight spot, after falling off the top of that conveyer belt. I think I'm not really used to moving with the tunnel vision of the scope.
