Inkling (SSBG)

Inklings are fun-loving, teenaged squids who can transform into humanoid creatures. They make their debut in the Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games as a newcomer/newcomers in Super Smash Bros. Godspeed and were revealed on October 14th, 2015 alongside the initial announcement of the game. The Inklings' moves primarily use weapons used in Splatoon along with Sub-Weapons and Special Weapons. During Smash 4's release, they were considered among the most popular possible DLC newcomers but, unfortunately, did not make it in.
==Attributes==
The Inkling is among one of the quickest characters in the game along with having some decently-ranged moves in the form of their massive arsenal of weaponry. While this does make options for combos and making them vast, it is limited by the Ink Tank mechanic, which harkens back to their home game. Ink Tanks empty as Special Moves are used and the only way to recharge is by quickly ducking or dashing through the ink left behind after they utilize their weapons. The Inkling's down special, Bombing Squad, can provide some excellent zoning opportunities and his/her up special Squid Jump has the longest jump range in the game. Using the Inkling primarily when facing an opponent with long-range such as newcomer Rayman or veteran Bayonetta will, if the player has played enough with the Inkling, possibly result in either success or failure as both of those characters have certain moves to counter the ranged attacks of the Inkling. However, the primary weakness of the Inkling comes in the form of ranged moves that can remove the ink like Mario's down special F.L.U.D.D. and Corrin's Final Smash Torrential Roar.
