Blaster, E-litre 3K, and Splatling on the other team, with my Tri-slosher equipped. I envisage having a hard time, if I try to face them head on. I try to be smarter and sneak around the edges, but the E-litre has moved there already, and is followed up by the ...

Camp Triggerfish Tower Control with the Splatterscope. This should be fun! I take the side route to get a decent perch, and even manage to splat someone by aiming! Of course, I soon am forced off that perch, but that's expected.
The opponents then take the attitude that turf control manes ...

Once I find a route that works, I tend to stick with it. At least for its general purpose, which at the start of Mahi-Mahi Resort is to outflank the opponents. Note how I skilfully encourage an inkling to jump in the water in this battle.

Luna Blasters have been around for ages in Tower Control, and although they are frustrating I can see why they are so useful. Or because they are so frustrating, for the other team. But there seems to be a new-found interest in Blasters in general, which is even more frustrating, ...

What do Mahi-Mahi Resort and Ancho-V Games have in common? That I lose my first Tower Control battle on each. Maybe if I didn't lose sight of the tower and head the wrong way, only to turn around and jump in to the water, the battle could have gone differently.
I ...

Ancho-V Games and Mahi Mahi Resort are in the map rotation, so I think I'm in for some Splat Zones. But no! Tower Control! I don't think I've seen Tower Control on either of these maps, so this will be interesting. I equip my Tri-slosher and head in to a ...

I've worked out that going up to the centre of the platform in Kelp Dome on Rainmaker is a sure way to get splatted by its shield, and instead take one of the jutting columns. Much better.
If I can work out what can stop an Inkzooka splatting me, I think ...

What the hell are my team doing at the start of this Rainmaker battle? They go every which way but actually towards the Rainmaker. And there's a growing body of empirical evidence that all I'll manage to do at the start is get splatted. Oh well.
At least we get a ...

Oops, squids go through grates. It's almost like I don't know this. I get myself back in to position and hope I'm not too late to defend the Rainmaker. But I am a little. One splat, but then hit on two fronts. Never mind.
Chargers aren't just good for splatting inklings ...

Okay, I know what's happening at the beginning of this battle. It's pretty straightforward, and I am in the middle of it. The second push looks pretty clear too, right up until the Rainmaker is dunked on the podium. The animation plays and everything, but our inkling gets splatted and ...
