The teams look pretty even at the beginning of this battle. Let's hope it turns out to be a good one. I try to be tactical to start with, using movement and positioning to my advantage, and it works well. Really well. I should do it more often.
And so I ...

I'm not starting with the Tri-slosher tonight. Maybe some of the first-battle excellence will rub off on the Splatterscope instead. Besides, the charger should be able to cover a lot of turf in and around the Splat Zones.
What the Splatterscope also offers is an excellent means of removing the Sprinklers ...

Somehow I never fully learn that rushing headlong to the objective in the middle of the map at the start of a battle almost always gets me splatted. Of course, there are times that I come out on top, but there are also times when it is better to be ...

There's the usual tussle for turf at the start of this Tower Control battle, along with my inevitable early splatting. At least I take one of them with me, but it's a bit of a pain that my Bubbler charges the moment I am splatted.
I like to think I show ...

I'm wearing a super-jump hat! I wonder if I'll remember that, and use it. Probably not. Super-jumping isn't terribly safe, but it can be very useful in Tower Control.
I start as usual, rushing headlong in to a splat. Going back along the same route seems like a good idea, if ...

Chargers remain popular in Tower Control with the promise of Arowana Mall appearing. It's Urchin Underpass again, though. Let's see if I can make better use of my Splatterscope than in the last battle.
First splat is by aiming! Good job, tigerears. The second is from a Splat Bomb. Well, a ...

Tower Control on Arowana Mall, you say? No wonder there are so many chargers, two on each team. And I'm one of them. But then Urchin Underpass comes up, so the joke's on us, I suppose. I imagine we'll persevere for a few battles, though, waiting for the Mall.
Until then, ...

I'm not having a great evening. I nearly drop out of A+ Rank, which isn't great, but perhaps adds evidence to my not being an S-Rank inkling yet, and why I have trouble in that tier. And in this battle, after our team takes an early lead, I just find ...

A couple of unsuccessful battles with the Soda Slosher and Tri-slosher, against opposition that are playing at 2 in the morning and me in the early evening, has my returning to the Splatterscope. I probably won't do any better with it, but I can't do much worse, and I want ...

Okay, I know I'm, not the best charger. Far from it. If you would like more evidence, check out the little battle I have with a better charger from 1'05". Sure, I can manoeuvre quite well, and splat him too, but I never felt in control.
But that's cool! I do ...
