Hey everyone, this is a remake of the same video from a while back (which I unlisted.) I wasn't happy with the quality of that video and missed a lot. So yes this video might look familiar but a lot of it is new, I hope you guys enjoy. I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to PJiggles who looked over the script and pointed out some smaller details like the soul. As a small side note, a lot of the skins are also based off Splat 1 promo images as well.

Cloud and Joker were both DLC characters (Cloud was added as DLC in Smash 4). Because of the way the development cycle works for these games, DLC characters are definitely given more individual time and attention to their creation. Long standing characters have been tweaked over several games. Thus it's newcomers that were not DLC like Inkling that tend to have the least polish to them.

For my balance mod for Ult, I originally tried to rework Inkling to implement a lot of the changes you had in mind: - Neutral B was still Splattershot, but it spread ink on the ground and stopping and starting shots took less time, but in exchange I think I gave it less range. This change was never really finished since the game's "spread ink" code is still somewhat of a mystery to me and I had to settle for creating ink particle effects on the ground - Inklings wouldn't go into squid form when dashing normally, and they'd have a worse hurtbox. However, when dashing while in ink you went into squid form and were faster (run still went into squid form no matter what). - Your ink recovery was slightly slower normally, but it was doubled while in ink - Inked opponents would move up to a maximum of 10% slower than usual on the ground, but afaik not in the air. In exchange, they didn't take more damage. I didn't continue the project, but the state Inkling was left in struggled to kill, so my next plans were going to be changing Bair to use Blaster (the hitbox wouldn't be that much better than it is run since the move is already ridiculously disjointed) along with Dair, possibly changing the other weapons to also spread ink, etc. All of this was before we were able to add files so at that time I wasn't considering new weapons, but if I were to revisit the project now I would probably swap out Ink Brush for Octobrush but keep Ink Brush as a dash attack. Not sure where I would put chargers given that Neutral B already got reworked, but maybe I would've replaced ground Side B with charger while leaving air Side B as-is (since I already removed the bury and made that move more of a combo tool).

I am personally surprised that you didn’t mention how Inkling cannot jump or move right and left when using the Splattershot in their neutral special. As you stated movement is incredibly important to Splatoon and should be emphasized for Inkling’s move set. Personally I think they should be able to move when using it and having the ink shot from it being both very weak (around 0.5 to 1 percent per ink blob shot put at most) and have no hitstun to prevent it from being completely overpowered. With the emphasis on the ink gimmick (they could also be able to ink and swim up walls; to compensate they can’t climb up inked walls when already in the air and Inkling needs to bump into the wall, as in dashing into the wall, in order to climb to begin with) the Splattershot could be used to focus on inking the stages first and foremost with their normal attacks being “get off of me tools” and the Splat Roller being more like what you suggested. I completely agree about your qualms about Inkling not being an incredibly light but hard hitting character asking with the strange changes to the Ink Brush and Splat Bomb. Inkling in my eyes fits much better as a character that needs to set up, set traps and get out of the way of bad situations and thus should be punished hard for bad decision making just like in the Splatoon series.

there’s one more main aspect i’d like to see added to inkling that i didn’t see you touch on, and that’s giving them more stage control aspects inking turf is the main thing that makes splatoon so unique, even though turf war isn’t played competitively, it’s the main mode people are familiar with, and i would’ve liked to see more emphasis on controlling the space around the opponent. if they go this route in smash 6, i hope splat bomb in particular gets overhauled to work closer to how it does in splatoon, especially since that would represent how it’s used competitively too. i agree with the majority of points you made in this video, as an inkling main and splatoon player myself, though i’m personally not too bothered by the lack of weapon representation. weapon types could definitely be improved, like making neutral special a charger, and making the dodge animation closer to the dualies, but in terms of different weapons of the same type, i think it would be interesting if they were incorporated into octoling as an echo fighter. as octoling tech is generally seen as better than inkling tech, i think it would be cool if they represented more unique weapons. like for down smash, instead of being a quick attack with the slosher, it would be a slower attack with the explosher, but it kills better and has more range to combat the slowness, or side special could be the dynamo roller, a lot slower, but has an initial swing which kills much earlier, or even down special could be a different sub weapon, there’s a lot of potential ideas for an octoling echo fighter, and i think taking inspiration from different weapons is a good starting point.

i think, considering the limitations of smash, this was one of the best movesets we could have gotten. Going too overboard on the weapon variety would only confuse those outside the splatoon community and lead to a potential assumption that players get an entire armory worth of weapons in every match, and the kicks emphasize the effort of the match. Yes, you get a weapon, but you are not a one-man army (outside of splat 1 specials). You need to know the limitations of your weapon just as much as its strengths. All of the main weapon categories (from 1) are covered except for chargers and splatlings, but both would be much harder to fit into the moveset in a balanced way. A faithful charger has too much range for the rest of the kit which focuses on close range, not to mention start and end lag or the trail of ink left behind, and a faithful splatling provides too much pressure. Both could be implemented, but it comes at the cost of reworking the final smash into a weapon showcase instead of using the killer wail special. Said rework would also come with the same "one man army" assumption problem, if not overhyping certain weapon classes over others.

As a competitive Smash player, trust me, Inkling doesn’t need much else to be a monster, on the stage. A few move changes might’ve made them more faithful, but they certainly don’t struggle to kill, especially for Inkling mains who know how to use their kill confirms Also, while I agree that Splattershot and Inkling’s rapid jab have a lot in common, there’s one thing that Splattershot does far better than the rapid jab: shield pressure. By just holding down the B button, Inkling can lock their opponent in their shield from a safe distance away, which can lead to shield breaks, which should not be ignored

I know nobody asked, but here's what I would've changed Inkling. First is the ink mechanic. I know it would've been difficult to implement, but I seriously think that they should've had Inkling's movement speed be significantly increased while in ink. Seeing them move in solid ground like it's ink is pretty cursed to me. So weapons that use ink will cover the ground in ink which allows Inkling to move as fast as they already do, while running on solid ground is just a little faster than walking. (While we're at it, grounded ink won't have an effect on opponents, to make Inkling more fun to play against. Best I can think of is just letting it do small chip damage like it does in Splatoon.) The ink would be on a timer though, so it doesn't just stay on the ground for the whole game. The way I'd make this work is the time that the ink stays out depends on the thickness of the ink (how much the ink reaches into the foreground/background). If you coat an already inked spot in more ink, it'll cover more of the 3d space and extend the lifetime of that ink. The ink will also deplete faster if Inkling doesn't land any hits for a while. I'd also change the Inkbrush to be their jab instead, make it like Villager's jab from Smash 4. Also if you hold the A button, you can put the brush on the ground and slide along the ground, and you can play bumper cars with your opponent of course. Forward smash will be the Charger instead. This just feels like an obvious pick to me, given that the Charger is the trademark one-shot weapon in Splatoon. The more you charge the attack, the longer the shot reaches, and you can aim up or down too, much like how some characters can tilt their smash attacks. I would've loved to see Inkling fling the Splat Roller vertically like in Splatoon 2/3 when they're in midair. Their recovery is already really good so I don't see why not give them this option at the expense of horizontal recovery.

About the lack of killing, while Inkling weaponry is very effective against other inklings, in the end it's still just a squidkid flinging a liquid around, which doesn't affect a non-inkling character (like Judd in Splat 3) the same as an Inkling character Basically, the most the weapons would be is spraying ink onto opponents to lower their defense, and being blunt weapons, most of which seem to be constructed from various plastics

I'm not an expert on Splatoon lore, but I don't think this would be fully accurate, even if we were Agent 3 can shoulder bash through glass and a blender from a superintelegent AI and break it without major damage, and pearls voice can break a wooden bridge (wail being able to stop a planet destroying laser) so even vs non inklings the power scaling doesn't exactly make much sense. There are also examples of it redirecting metal rocket powered objects in the DJ octavio fights. I think any real world or in game logic here means nul. To me inkling weaponry would prolly be rather powerful if they can swing stuff like a dynamo which is genuinly heavy that fast.

You know I feel like down special should've been burst bomb and splat bomb Like when you hold the down b then you get splat bombs but if you just press down b then you get burst bomb So splat bombs would be super powerful does huge shield damage but it takes awhile to set off so they have time to shield or run also takes more ink While burst bomb instantly set off and doesn't take a lot of ink but it's very weak and it's shield damage sucks (One best for on stage and the other is best for off stage)

While I agree with a lot of your points about missed opportunities, I think that the way things were done was far more in line with how smash works. When you talk about all the weapons that other attacks could have used I think Link is a good point of comparison. His kit is likewise only using a small number of iconic items, namely bow, bomb, boomerang, and hookshot. While sword fighting is obviously part of his games as well plenty of his moves don't map to anything from the games and just exist to fill out a fighting game character. The devs obviously don't want to make characters too complex and including too many different weapons does that. That's a lot more modeling that needs to be done for the character and most smash fighters have a bunch of melee moves even if this doesn't make as much sense for their origins. The same holds true for a lot of the more minor details you discuss to make the weapons more accurate. They add unnecessary complication to the character. You bring up Steve a few times but remember that Inkling wasn't a DLC character. The DLC characters in ultimate got stranger and stranger mechanics wise and many Smash fans think they went too far from the norm with many of them. There is a clear difference in design principles used for characters throughout the franchise and even between characters within just this game thanks to the time between the main roster being made and the DLC characters being added. They definitely put a lot more emphasis on being accurate to the character than they did in the past, just look at Gannondorf who's entire move set was just slightly modified Captain Falcon for no real reason.

The link comparison is fair but to me the diffrence is link has certain weapons that are more iconic, while inklings are known for an insane variety of choices, so I think its more tied to their identity here. I def think Ganon is jus straight up not ok in his current state.

I can see why the Inklings only use basic weapons, as it helps keep their moveset more understandable. Splatoon simply has too great of a weapon variety to make it easily understandable. One thing I will say though is whenever (if ever) the next smash bros game comes out, I can totally see Octolings making it in as an Echo fighter, likely using newer and different weapons like the Dualies, Brellas, Charger, and Splatana, maybe a splatling idk, and likely Torpedo and Reefslider or splashdown if we want some Special representation. I mean this is a fighting game, and one of the simpler ones at that. One can't have everything.

I always thought it could be cool to have inkling use more shorter ranged weapons while a potential octoling could use long ranged weapons. Since there are both long and short versions of the same weapon class you can show the difference without having to add new weapons or tech to smash. Have a dynamo roller vs a carbon roller, a range blaster vs a clash blaster etc…

The one complaint I would have for Inkling is that the ink tank doesn’t auto refill like in the games. If the player runs out of ink in smash, then they would be vulnerable in terms of refilling manually or standing idling by. In the games. When inkling runs out of ink. The ink tank slowly generates ink for you so even in the middle of battle. It’s like the move “struggle” in Pokémon but at least your giving your opponent damage and you have a chance of survival. This is why I will always and forever be a Greninja Main. There’s no limits for a Frog Ninja Pokémon.

I will say that the direction for inkling in Smash was clearly more based around the concept of stage control. Splatoon is a unique shooter in the sense that you don't want to kill, and yes killing is important and necessary but it's never been the focus, you can't play pacifist but the focus is clearly inking your turf and dying isn't that punishing, and that was kind of a big things to differenciate it from other shooters, that shooting at the ground is more important than shooting at the opponent. So in smash the focus is a lot more about stage control, inkling has great mobility, excels at flashy combos and keeping you cornered (aka ledgetrapping if you're into competitive smash), she can return to stage and recover center without much issue and even have the roller to slow down anyone that stays on it. And this all came at the cost of kill power of course, because again, splatoon isn't about killing, it's about controlling the stage

A way to incorporate dualies and brellas would be to have Inklings shield be the Splat brella and the dodge rolls are, well the dualies dodge rolls. Add it that if you hold neutral B after a roll, you shoot using the dualies until you let go of neutral B or move in anyway.

If Nintendo did make an Octoling character for smash 6 (pls do that Nintendo), heres what I would want the moveset to be: Jab: Same as current one but it has Octo Shot. This asthetic change will replace every existing splattershot move. Forward Tilt: A single slice forward with the Splatana Wiper. A little ink beam will be shot forward, not nearly as much as the one in Splatoon 3 though. Up Tilt: A single swing upwards with the Inkbrush. Down Tilt: Downwards swing with the Inkbrush. Dash Attack: Same as the current one. Forward Smash: Same as current one but uses a Splatana Stamper instead. Just an aesthetic except for the fact that it can actually kill people now and is a bit slower because I hate Inklings current Forward Smash. Up Smash: Fires a Rapid Blaster Pro upwards. The shot is slightly smaller, has the gimmick you were talking about with the regular blaster and goes much higher. It would be much harder to use in close range but would be very good to hit those far above you. Down Smash: Octoling faces forward and activates a Tenta Brella Shield. This move is very slow but is very strong (rivals Pyra's forward smash) and allows you to defend up to 5 hits or 1 Meteor Smash attack. If shield breaks, then you get stunned for 3 seconds. A very risk reward move. Forward Air: A very fast carbon roller vertical flick. Isn't the strongest but there is a very tight window where you can Meteor Smash them. Up Air: Same as up tilt but slightly faster and slightly weaker. Down Air: Same as the current one but it's with a Clash Blaster instead. The Meteor Smash is also nearer to the end of the move with a downwards clash blast shot. Only the direct activates the Meteor Smash. Back Air: Backward Tri-Stringer shot. Grab: Zipcaster onto an enemy to start a grab. Grab Jab: Same as current one. Teather: Zipcaster onto a ledge using the grab button. Forward Throw: Lightly throws the opponent forward and then kicks a torpedo bomb at them. The little explosions at the end in the Splatoon games are there for aesthetics but don't do any damage. Up Throw: Lightly throws them upwards and then chucks a Burst Bomb at them. Down Throw: Throw's enemy on the ground and then an Inkmine explodes, sending them upwards. Back Throw: Lightly throws them backwards and then chucks a Fizzy Bomb at them. Neutral Special: Same as the current one but with Dapple Dualies instead. Much shorter range but has the ability to do 2 very quick dodge rolls which do deal damage. Side Special: Same as the current one. (The smash community would hate a Roller buff.) Up Special: Slowly rise in an inkjet before exploding the inkjet and getting shot high up in the air. The ink the comes from the inkjet could pull enemies up it so that they get hit by the explosion. The explosion is very strong. One last thing, instead of staying in human form like in the regular games after the Inkjet ejects you, you instead turn into the Octopus form as if you were super jumping. Down Special: The same as the current one except with a suction bomb. No longer does it explode in the air unless it touches an enemy, however it now has a really fast explode time when it touches any surface. A little faster to get to full charge and won't roll on the ground anymore, instead being able to stick to walls and surfaces. Use's much more ink though. Final Smash: Super Jumps to the top of the screen onto the floating spawn pad from Splatoon 3 multiplayer. The octoling proceeds to pull out a Tri-Zooka is able to shoot 3 shots that each deal 80 damage and can easily kill people. However, they are quite hard to land due to their size. The fire rate of this Tri-Zooka is also a bit faster. For the costumes we have: Costume 1: Agent 8 outfit (Girl Hair 1 from Splatoon 2) Costume 2: Broken Agent 3 outfit from Splatoon 3 (Boy Hair 1 Splatoon 2) Costume 3: Hydra Splatling Outfit from Splatoon 3 reveal Trailer and Promotional Material. Costume 4: Range Blaster Outfit in Promotional Material and Splat 3 Reveal. Costume 5: Marina Amiibo Outfit (Girl Hair 2 Splatoon 2) Costume 6: Team Octopus Splatfest Tee (Boy Hair 2 Splatoon 2) Costume 7: Fresh Fish Amiibo Outift Costume 8: Sanitized Ocotling Stage: Museum D'Alfonsino (I could do one based of Splatoon 3/Splatoon 2 locations but this one seems much cooler.) Everything in the middle of the map is flooded except for the middle rotating platform. Every 20 seconds, it will rotate 90 degrees. This will make the platform smaller although 2 much smaller platforms will spawn on each side of mid when the platform is small. When the platform is big, an inkling/octoling in a random outfit will throw Tri-Strikes onto the middle of the map if people have been there on the ground for a total of 3 seconds. The Tri-Strike launches people upwards and deals up to 40 damage. Hazards off stops the rotating and removes the Tri-Strike. Spinal Phase Same platform as the one in the Mega Man stage except the background is themed on the spinal phase from Splatoon 2. Sanitized Agent 3 will ride on the UFO from that fight and fire sting rays across the stage as a stage hazard. On the final stock/one minute remaining on the timer, the elevator will get ink jet thrusters and fly out of the Spinal Phase area into the final boss area of the NHLS Statue. Agent 3 will still fire at you but the final fight will be in the background. In the last 20 seconds of a match/both players on last stock Pearl will fire her Killer Whale. When the match ends, the NHLS Statue gets destroyed by Pearls Killer Whale. If a Splatfest Song is being played, in the last minute/last stock, the stage will instead circle around the MC. Princess Stories stage as a reference to the final fest. The splatfest song thing that moray towers had would also stay. Music: Nasty Majesty Nasty Majesty (Smash Remix) Shark Bytes Splatattack (Octo) Fly Octo Fly (Ebb and Flow when on the final stock/one minute left on the timer) #9 Party #11 Above (Smash Remix) #14 Crush #16 Salty (Smash Remix) Seafoam Shanty Broken Coral Splattack! (C-Side) Clickbait (Smash Remix) Tentacle to the Metal Tableturf Battle Anarchy Rainbow Fins the Air the other splatfest battle theme I can't remember the name of VS Deep Cut Alterna Challenge 1 (Smash Remix) Alterna Challenge 5 Alterna Challenge 6 Alterna Challenge 7 Alterna Challenge 8 Alterna Space Center 2 Calimari Incantation 3MIX Reveal Trailer: An Agent 3 is fighting a squirtle and greninja on a white platform with the rest being very dark. As agent 3 is about to die due to a Water Gun attack from squirtle and a Water Shuriken attack from Greninja, a suction bomb gets thrown between agent 3 and the water attacks and protects agent 3 from the water attacks. Both sides of the fight proceed to look up at the direction of where the bomb was thrown. They see a octoling shaped shadow and a flying spawn pad shaped shadow. The octoling clicks a button on their CQ Phone thing and all the lights turn on. The splash screen then pops up saying "Octoling Splats the Cast" (because you cast a fishing rod and cast is also smash roster. ok, it was a pretty bad pun.) Gameplay then proceeds (Music: Najesty Majesty - Smash Remix) Later on in the trailer after some gameplay, Agent 3 and Octoling successfully knockdown squirtle and greninja but then an electro ball comes from behind and splats agent 3. Agent 8 looks behind them and sees an Army of Pikachu and Pichu. She then stumbles back but pulls out a tri-zooka and shoots them all down (with the shots being shown in the CGI but then the actual hits being in gameplay.) Smash X Splatoon screen Appears. (A more slower and distorted version of the Thang Jingle Theme plays) Finally, we then have a close up shot of the Octoling out of breath on the NHLS statue and then a text box with Marina saying, "Don't give, Eight! Smash is waiting for you!" The screen then shows a glitchy effect with a very faint image of Museum and then fades to black.
