I'm not sure I knew what was happening half the time in this Tower Control battle. Shoot some ink, keep your turf your colour, and squid away from trouble.
All I can say from this and the other recent battles on Urchin Underpass is that I'll try not to get salty ...

After the normal tussle in the middle of Arowana Mall, the other team gets a really good lead, nearly reaching their goal. A better-aimed Killer Wail may have pushed them to a knockout victory too.
We have a difficult task ahead of us to get the victory. But some good coordination ...

I do my bit to hold the centre of Arowana Mall against the push of the opposition, and only when it looks clear and the tower available do I try to advance the objective. That, naturally, gets me splatted.
Back to holding our position, and as I do I note the ...

I'm not too comfortable with the Splatterscope on Urchin Underpass, but as the other map in the rotation is Arowana Mall I am taking a positive can-do attitude to the Underpass today.
I don't want to be foolish and push forwards when I don't have to. I ought to provide a ...

Arowana Mall is a great map for a charger. Even when paired with Urchin Underpass int he rotation, I will take the awkward Underpass to play on the excellent Mall occasionally.
I get a good number of splats in, and only fall foul of being splatted once, pressing up the map ...

Not 'getting salty', but instead of playing the good game I manage in the first couple of minutes, I end up getting a bit panicky and looking more like a newbie.
Mutual splatting of the same Roller moments after respawning is amusing. Less amusing is getting backed in to walls ...

With the Splatterscope equipped, I really need to moderate my urge to ride the tower so much. That's for other inklings to do, so that I can provide necessary support. It would help my efforts if my squidmates also realised this and were more keen to ride the tower themselves.
Almost ...

I get a bit lucky at the start, where hanging around the centre doesn't see the Rainmaker get too far away from us. We even get it for ourselves and make some decent progress. Running in to the Killer Wail is a mistake, though.
A couple of the opposition decide to ...

I decide to flank the Rainmaker at the start of this battle in Port Mackerel, thinking it to be a sneaky option. Maybe I get a cunning splat on a charger, but I completely lose track of where the Rainmaker is, to the whole team's detriment.

No one's safe in a Tower Control battle where every inkling cares about the objective and is fielding a short-range weapon.
Turf is controlled, the tower is moved one way and the other, specials fly all over the place, and it's anyone's game.

Excellent fun to play, excellent fun to watch back.
