A bit of fun in S-Rank Tower Control (6-6, Splatterscope)

9th February 2017 – 7.00 am

This battle does not go particularly well for me. I try to keep the turf covered at the start, and take pot-shot at inklings too far from me, and end up getting splatted by a Gal from behind a Splash Wall as I aim badly for his squidmate.

I miss-time a shot at a super-jumping inkling, as x the Roller does something, I don't know what, and miss-time a rolled Splat Bomb on to the Tower. It's not going well, as we have a big lead to overcome. At least I manage to hop on to a mostly purple Tower, and even if I don't get far we have a score on the board.

My squidmates ride the Tower further than me, and I move up to support them. I do my best to continue pushing the Tower, but the purple team move it away from me as I try to squid up, sealing my fate. Still, at least I get an aimed splat as the Tower comes back our way, and I time a super-jump splat well. Ignore my slipping off the Tower, though. And running in to a Splat Bomb.

I revert to trying to be a more defensive charger, inking turf and suppressing the other inklings, when x the Roller makes a reappearance. I dunno what she wants, but I'm having a crap game, so I play along. She just wants a bit of fun with a fellow inkling, I think, and it is nice and silly fun!

Not only was that silliness a few seconds of good fun, but it seems to reinvigorate me. The timer is counting down, but the battle isn't over. x goes to claim the Tower as I get a good splat, and as x rides the Tower I protect her from an Inkzooka, and then from some Burst Bombs I see coming from the side. Blimey, that's nice shooting!

We even look like we could win this. Maybe if my Splat Bomb Rush throws were better we would have a better chance, but this is our best ride of the Tower so far, and the best thirty seconds of the battle for me by far! Thanks, x the Roller, for making the battle fun again.
