Brb, going to share this on Twitter immediately.Out of the blue, but we should totally make WWII style propaganda posters! I'm not the greatest in GIMP, I made this one out of the blue, but hey, it's a thing. (I hope someone makes a better one)

I don't think #InkTheBallot will trend soon like KrokTheVote
Haha, it's not the best one, but thanks!
While the Squid Sisters will be singing.
Apparently not to that one "reviewer" because it has a bland and generic theme geared towards kids (I'm not kidding someone actually said this).Nintendo just advertised during Fear The Walking Dead. What do they think Splatoon is geared toward adults or something?!
But really I'm happy to see an ad for it.
Squid silhouette!
I'm going with a squid silhouette as well. Just makes since.
It should be a paint roller for the extra salt of roller haters, but I think it will definitely be the squid silhouette.
Staaaaaaay fresh!
I might have missed it in your moveset, but would the animations for the squid fu differ for the boy inklings? I have a tough time envisioning a shared moveset considering their hair styles.Hey there, kids and squids! Guess what? I've just released my brand-new Inkling moveset over at Make Your Move 17! Revamped formatting, mechanics, moves, balance, writing style, heck, I've even added a home stage with a fully-fledged music selection! Go check it out! If you've already read it, then let me tell you, this new version is completely revamped, and way better than the old one -- at least, I hope it is. .-. And hey, if you've never read it, there's never been a better time to do so! Click here to check it out! It's in the same post as the original, so old links will still work as well. Hey, I plugged the support thread in the moveset, so it's only fair that I do the reverse as well.
And sorry for the double post :3
"One final tidbit -- since the boy Inkling lacks the girl's two long head tentacles, the boy will generate two tentacles made of ink as a substitute in order to mimic the female's attacks whenever needed."
They're thinking since Inklings are considered to be a strong Nintendo IP that Nintendo will save them for 5 so that Nintendo will have some big characters to announce for that game.
Because Nintendo will need popular characters to hype the next game. Granted, if the game is far away from release, they might have a lot of new cool characters to add to the game by then (most of the Smash 4 newcomers debuted/became popular after Brawl, after all), BUT here is the thing: It will surely take much less time from Smash 4 to Smash 5 than it took from SSBB to Smash 4, since it is unlikely that Nintendo will not release a SSB for the NX and that thing is supposed to be announced next year already. Though the next Smash could perfectly be a new version of Smash 4 with additional characters and features, instead of a brand new game. Which is actually very likely to happen imo, it just doesn't make sense to develop a brand new Smash so soon, especially with Sakurai and the Smash team focusing on Smash 4 DLC development.
It might just be an issue of reworking the engine to include the ink. I'd imagine there's need to be some changes made -- for example, when you shoot the underside of Battlefield or FD. The collision and visible model don't quite line up oftentimes. Of course, they could potentially do that with an update, although it'd probably require some remodeling of things like that to match the collision.
Inkling Duo makes absolutely no sense, not sure why are you bringing up this idea. That said, you bring a valid point, there could be ink-related mechanics that would not work well on current hardware, both 3DS and Wii U. 3DS because, well, it is the 3DS... and Wii U because 8 players Smash is a thing.
Two Inklings (A Girl and a Boy) being part of one playable character with two separate AIs in the same vein as the Ice Climbers. I don't know what doesn't make sense about that, considering it's just a theory.
In Ice Climber for the NES, Nana and Popo are just a couple kids with hammers. There's not much gameplay potential there. However, the game had a prominent two-player mode, where the two climbers worked together to reach the goal. The game's simultaneous cooperative multiplayer -- unheard of by games like Super Mario Bros., where you were playing completely separately and not really working together at all -- made them unique for their time. Simultaneous co-op was pioneered at least in part by the ICs, so it makes sense that they'd be the ones to use it in Smash. That and they didn't really have much else to draw from aside from that.
There's also no reason not to incorporate the ink mechanics. It might be a bit of extra work, but so were Rosalina's Luma, Ryu's special inputs, Olimar's Pikmin, etc, I'd imagine. I'd say the work is worth it to have a completely unique and, for lack of a better word, "fresh" playstyle for this unique game. Otherwise, there's not much point in having the Inkling in the first place. If they're not going to add the ink mechanics, I'd rather they just wait until they're ready/willing/have the time to. Just look at what happened to Ganon...
It doesn't make sense because Inklings being a duo in Smash would have zero relation to the character and the game mechanics found in Splatoon. It is nothing like Ice Climbers or even the old idea of Diddy and Dixie being a duo (like they were supposed to be in Brawl). In short, it's a baseless theory.
Inkling...quartet might work, for the 4v4 aspect of it, I suppose. But that's about it.
Oh man, can you imagine 8 player smash? 32 Inklings on screen! Wowza!!
The squid would be no different than Pac-man being able to turn into his "2D form".
