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 ...

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.

I quite enjoy the Tri-slosher for Tower Control still. I like advancing the objective, and riding the tower gives an obvious height advantage for the bucket. It also gives me another break from using the Splatterscope all the time.
The opposition get an early lead that looks hard to beat. If ...

Doesn't the tower's pillar provide cover from being splatted? That E-litre is using haxxx, gotta be.
Having a squidmate get splatted whilst I'm hidden by a wall is also pretty confusing. I'm surprised I recovered so quickly.

I have a pretty good game, racking up the splats, being sneaky, riding the tower. ...

Enjoying a new-found winning streak in A+ Tower Control, I stick with the Dual Squelcher. The side route is best for my range again, but for some reason I don't ink the other squid enough to splat him, and move on to the tower. What a silly mistake.
Whilst a couple ...

I keep going with the Dual Squelcher. Taking the side route for Blackbelly Skatepark should let me use its range, but with no one to splat I immediately ignore my own advice and go for the tower. That gets me splatted.
The opposition get an early lead, which we aren't able ...

I abandon Ranked for Turf War to give the Rapid Blaster a fairer test, but only encounter more frustration. I am not in the mood for continued failure whilst trying to learn a new weapon, so I grab my Tri-slosher and head back to Ranked, to see if I can ...
