A couple of failures with the Splatterscope in S-Rank Tower Control and I revert to the Tri-slosher. I'm still trying to be effective so far, but S-Rank battles are mostly making me feel rubbish, ineffective, and out of my depth.
In this battle, I'm still fairly fresh and trying to compete. ...

Blaster, E-litre 3K, and Splatling on the other team, with my Tri-slosher equipped. I envisage having a hard time, if I try to face them head on. I try to be smarter and sneak around the edges, but the E-litre has moved there already, and is followed up by the ...

Once I find a route that works, I tend to stick with it. At least for its general purpose, which at the start of Mahi-Mahi Resort is to outflank the opponents. Note how I skilfully encourage an inkling to jump in the water in this battle.

Luna Blasters have been around for ages in Tower Control, and although they are frustrating I can see why they are so useful. Or because they are so frustrating, for the other team. But there seems to be a new-found interest in Blasters in general, which is even more frustrating, ...

What do Mahi-Mahi Resort and Ancho-V Games have in common? That I lose my first Tower Control battle on each. Maybe if I didn't lose sight of the tower and head the wrong way, only to turn around and jump in to the water, the battle could have gone differently.
I ...

Ancho-V Games and Mahi Mahi Resort are in the map rotation, so I think I'm in for some Splat Zones. But no! Tower Control! I don't think I've seen Tower Control on either of these maps, so this will be interesting. I equip my Tri-slosher and head in to a ...

I had a lot of fun with the Tri-slosher the other day, so I give it another go today. I apparently forgot that the previous Ranked mode was Tower Control, where the bucket is perhaps more useful, but that's okay! Rainmaker is fun too.
I get a bit carried away with ...

I had my couple of games with the Splatterscope, and they worked quite well after the Tri-slosher, albeit not quite as fluidly. But just as I am ready to call it a night, I see that I am one win away from being On Fire. I can't leave it like ...

Sometimes you want to ride the tower. Sometimes you just want to disrupt your opponents, so that someone else can ride the tower.
This is one of those battles where my squidmates are happy to ride the tower, and the Blackbelly Skatepark map allows me to completely outflank the other team.

That Custom Hydra Splattling is quite a threat in the right suction cups. I like to think my Tri-slosher is too, but maybe not always in my tentacles.
The normal tussle at the start of the battle does their way before we're able to assert our presence on the tower. And ...
