Crazy hectic. Lost a rank and gained it back.
Just try to survive as long as possible

I surprisingly had more issue starting out with the Nozzlenose than with the Brush, heh. Rather not use either, though, not that comfortable either way.

The dynamo roller is pretty good by being in the back and spamming its one hit kill splash
Aerosprays actually seem like they might be useful for this, because the team I lost to had at least two of them and they were able to ink up the entire middle area making going back through there a real pain and giving them plenty of places to hide.
Also one guy went Kraken while on the tower and just sat there riding it for several seconds lol

I can use the roller in ranked now
Uh oh, Return of Red's Tower.
Yeah, can't use the nozzlenose either, really sucks

Quadruple killed the team at the outset on Walleye, died getting the 4th kill. Team is nowhere near the tower.
Hard to win with nincompoop teammates.

Get away from with your Killer Wail's reign of terror (gonna be super useful in Tower Control)
Any good stream of Tower Control that's not cluttered with subs and donation boxes? Can't play but wanna watch.
Why now? The rollers are some of the best weapons in Splat Zones.I can use the roller in ranked now
Ehh, puts me off from ever using it in Tower Control. The weapon is already easy enough to use as it is in other modes.
I'm actually considering going against everything I stand for and using the kraken. I just get into to many spots where it would come in handy in this game mode. The wail is nice but the immobility really hurts it when I'm in the thick of things.
SplatGAF crews will be too stronk!
Mode's excellent, as I expected. Like how the maps are designed to where you can jump off the tower to take out enemies on higher ground.
Blaster's definitely really good on these first two maps because they're fairly cramped compared to others, and you can shoot a couple times over the tower and wipe it.
Mines and suction bombs are good subs, but some folks were having success with grenades as well. Bubbler's also great if you use it at the right time as special.
Charger will probably get a lot of use on the more open maps and be deadly.
Like Payload in TF2, sometimes you have to take a death in this mode to stop the tower or push it a bit forward.
Seems like you want one person on the tower, one person near it/sometimes riding it, and the other two pushing forward to clear a path. You can pick off a lot of people shooting at the side of the tower to squid up it.

Yeah, definitely, there's a higher trade-off here, but one set Killer Wail and you are almost guaranteed taking the tower back.
Yeah, quad kills are pretty easy with blaster in this mode because everyone congregates to one spot (which I don't recommend)
I also am convinced that blaster shots can be shot, because I see mine disappear instantly when I have a bunch of people shooting at/near me in this mode
I wouldn't say blaster is good in turf war, though

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
We need "you stay" and "I'll go ahead" commands.
Too many times will a team take over the tower only to abandon it thinking someone will stay with it.

Yup. The tower resets back to neutral if no one is in it, so sometimes I'm thinking what da fuck lol

It all goes back to the Jr. It's the circle of Splatoon.

GAME!

Yeah, it's bullshit. Just add a damn toggle and only make you lose points if you DC while you're losing, and a toggle for victory so that if you dc after you won you still get the points. (I mean, it's not as easy as I make it sound but it's not gonna be really hard at all either)
I'm having flashbacks of dying while I try to climb that damn tower... you're the reason I avoid going up there to this day.
What's wrong with blasters on turf war?

Fucking kraken squatting on the tower. As if rollers weren't annoying enough as it is...

Is Blue/Yellow a new color combination for Tower Control? Don't recall seeing it in Splat Zones so far.
E: Ah, my bad, there's that
with all the color combinations already. Nevermind.
