Spyke the Street Urchin (from Splatoon) for Smash DLC

[slambros]

Spyke is from Nintendo's popular shooter Splatoon, stationed in the back alley of the hub world Inkopolis. When approached, he can sell cheaper versions of clothing items you ordered off another Inkling, or add an attribute space to an owned clothing item at the expense of a super sea snail.

Of course, of course, the Inklings (who are basically appearing in Smash sometime in a future installment at this point) should be given top priority before another series character enters the fray. But when the Inklings do become playable, there's suddenly room for a well-designed supporting character to join as well, and why not the visually-unique Spyke?

For moveset, he could utilize the super sea snails, or utilize the skills he almost indefinitely uses during his possibly shady practices.

With a lanky form and spiny head like his, Spyke could be quite the formidable foe. Vote for him if you feel the same!

While that makes sense, I decided not to wait because the Inklings are basically guaranteed. They're showing up in Smash, whether it's Smash 4 DLC or Smash 5. I mean, they're unavoidable if Splatoon is going to sell over 1 million copies.

So I just figured there could be support for a character that doesn't have that guarantee yet.

when you put it like that it makes sense
