A couple of errors at the start of this battle. I miss the jump, and don't register the yellow squid hunkering down getting ready for a super-jump. Still, we get on the tower and take a commanding lead within the first minute or so of the battle. That lets me ...

Taking my different approach to S-Rank Tower Control again, and not going straight for the tower on Piranha Pit. Instead, a bit of scout, and a bit of hunting. I think I do quite well, splatting a Roller and avoiding a Bubbler, although I lose track of a couple of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Somehow staying in S Rank, I battle on. But I don't know why. Actually, I do know why: in the hopes of dropping out of S Rank again, if I lose enough. But losing battles isn't much fun when you're being stomped every game.
I've tried several different weapons, and none ...

Do you like my new hat? I think I should make use of it, which pretty much means equipping the Splatterscope. I'm okay with that.
There's the usual reluctance to get on the tower at the start of the battle, which is probably less to do with not wanting to ride ...

Let's stick with the Custom Blaster for now in Tower Control. Hopefully it will work just as well on Piranha Pit as it does on other maps.
I quite like the route the tower takes in Piranha Pit. It makes for a good battle with lots of tension, without sacrificing the ...

First choice weapon tonight for Tower Control was the Tri-slosher, one of my favourites. It didn't work out so well. Let's give a recent new weapon another go instead, the Custom Blaster.
I mostly get back in to the swing of the weapon without much delay, although I doubt I will ...
