There is an awful lot of mutual splatting in this Tower Control battle on Piranha Pit. Or, at least, I get splatted when I also splat an inkling, even if it's not the inkling that splats me. It makes for a frantic battle of splatting and respawning. It also means ...

I can't believe that the other team is consistently much better than my own, so I have to conclude that I really don't have my mojo about me this evening in Splat Zones. I swap weapons for something more familiar, in a bid to get my mojo back, but even ...

Not a particularly outstanding battle in Splat Zones, maybe because I'm trying yet another new weapon for me, the .52 Gal. Its Splash Wall has always got me in trouble when on the receiving end, and the Killer Wail seems like it would be good in Splat Zones. Needless to ...

I'm really enjoying Tower Control on Piranha Pit. It's a fun map, and although probably over half of the map isn't being used for this Ranked mode, I don't think that really matters. Ride the Tower, get to the base. Keeping the tower centralised helps concentrate the battle and prevent ...

Camp Triggerfish isn't the best map for a Tri-slosher, with its long corridors and open spaces, but I still like the bucket for Tower Control. Being able to slosh all over the tower is great, and the grates and netting grant good vantage points. But, as is obvious from the ...

A good push at the start from us, with the whole team working together, albeit on different fronts, to advance the tower. This is soon turned around by the other team getting organised and pushing back. It looks like we have a whole bunch of inkling s who enjoy the ...

Camp Triggerfish's long, open spaces suit shooters and chargers well, but I still really enjoy throwing buckets of ink around with the Tri-Slosher. I find it suits me well in Tower Control in particular, as there are plenty of vantage spots to rain ink down from above. Running in to ...

The Tower trundles its way around Piranha Pit playing its little jingle in quite a tight circuit, which pushes all the squids together for frantic splatting. Hurtling for the objective only ends up with my being splatted. Again. Maybe I should learn from this. Perhaps I ought to be a ...

I like to get to the objective quickly, and riding the tower is excellent fun. Being able to move quickly with the Tri-slosher is a good skill too. But when the other side can move as quickly as you, you get splatted. Never mind! Back in to the fray, and ...

It takes me a little while to get my bearings. The map is still quite new, the changes from Turf War to Tower Control take some getting used to, and sometimes I'm just a bit rusty. My early attempts to ride the tower don't last long at all, but that ...
