I'm trying out the new plan of being a nuisance, and mostly ignoring the tower in Tower Control. At least, at S Rank.
Of course, this plan assumes that I can be a nuisance, and not just be splat-bait for the other team. Still, riding the tower makes me splat-bait by ...

Riding the tower in S Rank Tower Control just isn't working for me. And with two chargers on the other team, I sense it wont this battle either.
New plan! Take out the chargers. It's an audacious goal, and one that is just as likely to frustrate as entertain, but splatting ...

The battle starts like a typical S-Rank Tower Control battle, with me getting stomped. I'm starting to feel pretty helpless, and on a couple of occasions think about just putting the gamepad down and relaxing. No one gets on the tower for over 40 seconds! Apart from me, and that ...

Look at me, using Beakons. Like a pro! They suck up so much ink, though, I don't know how other inklings do it so consistently. A splat with a Killer Wail too, although the angle is pretty obvious. And I miss the E-litre, who promptly splats me through the Wail.
We ...

After the Rainmaker dunking on Camp Triggerfish, I think about calling it a night, ending on a high note, and all that. Instead, I decide to keep playing, but with a different weapon. I choose the Custom Dual Squelcher, hoping I can make some use of the Killer Wail, and ...

A relatively cautious start to this Rainmaker. But, then I shouldn't be in the middle of the action as a charger anyway. Getting hit by that Inkzooka kinda shows that, kinda doesn't given their range.
Another feeble bomb throw, a disappointment after that great one at the start, is easily forgotten ...

As our team forms on the base, I have to wonder: how can I use the Splatterscope in Rainmaker on Mahi-Mahi Resort. A little late to be thinking this, I suppose, and it probably shows in my initial moves.
Getting hit by the Disruptor isn't much fun, nor the second time, ...

I don't see that Suction Bomb that splats me. But never mind, it must have been a good throw. Back to the action, and I get my own lucky splat, right in front of the unclaimed Rainmaker.
A Splat Bomb Rush follows me along the side route, but when I lose ...

Still in S Rank, but wanting to be positive. I have a better string of games in this session too, which is good. Maybe the maps suit me better, maybe the battle mode is key, or maybe I just get more suitable teams. Either way, I'm having fun.
I don't catch ...

This turns out to be the last game of the session for me. I simply can't take being crushed any more tonight.
I try to be less reckless, more cautious, adopt a support role at times, try to advance the objective when possible, but I'm just useless. The team wins in ...
