Tower Control doesn't get much simpler than this. Go to the tower, ride it to the base. It's like Ice Cube telling us what to do.

It's good to see every squid spamming 'Nice!' as we reach the goal.
Let's have a second: Can we make it in Tower Control?
After early forays ...

I know how to play Splatoon. I certainly don't press the reset-camera button instead of jump near the start of the game. But one thing I do is wear a t-shirt with the haunted trait. It's actually pretty decent, acting as a one-squid Echolocator whenever I'm splatted. And in Ranked ...

This is not one of my better starts to a Tower Control battle. Okay, so I let the longer-range charger have the main perch and hit my secondary perch instead, and get a nice early splat, but all that squidding about outside of my own ink is a bit embarrassing. ...

9-2 with the Splatterscope on Piranha Pit Tower Control is not too shabby! I also try to help the team out by keeping the turf inked our colour, particularly if my squidmates are mired in green.

I have to admit, I didn't realise we were so closing to winning, and so ...

I'm on a winning streak in Ranked tonight, bagging a handful of wins in a row. As I quit the lobby for a brief pause, this gives Splatoon the opportunity to pit me against some S-rank players when I return. Okay then.

The battle goes better than expected, even when I ...

Okay, maybe my early mojo is settling down a bit now, but that's okay. At least I make the most of a tight spot, after falling off the top of that conveyer belt. I think I'm not really used to moving with the tunnel vision of the scope.

There was me thinking I'd not battled in Tower Control on Piranha Pit before, but of course I have. Maybe not with the Splatterscope, though, but definitely with the Tri-slosher. Still, they are quite different weapons that require very different strategies. I think I'm getting the hang of the Pit ...

I don't think I can beat my previous Tower Control battle, but only because it was so amazing, and it is churlish to stop for the evening after one game. So here we go again.
Another good game, with some mistakes, some good splats, some impetuous charging ahead, some caution. That's ...

My first game of the evening, and it's a belter. Perhaps my best game of Tower Control, and one of my best Ranked battles so far, certainly with a charger. This is the battle that motivated me to make a 'Games of Fame' playlist on YouTube, and a game of ...

Bluefin Depot was my bogey level at the start of the evening, getting splatted everywhere by squids almost completely ignoring the tower. Even with my change from the Tri-slosher to the Dual Squelcher, would this change? Thankfully, yes.
The tower was the focus of attention: they wanted us off of ...
