Inkling for Smash! Let's Make Like Squid and Migrate!

[fogbadge]

thats me got the special edition on pre order

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Ordered the special eddition. The ones that came with all three amiibo were sold out but I managed to get one with a green squid and a t-shirt my size.

I like the idea of manipulating the stage with ink. It's something we don't have in Smash Bros yet, and it's a cool idea. One thing I was wondering though is whether ink should be a permanent or temporary stage effect as if there is not another inkling, the character can ink the entire stage and move right through it. Or maybe as you ink new parts of the stage, previously inked areas can become uninked depending on how much the inkling has inked?

That shirt looks awesome btw. Too bad it probably isn't coming here to NA.

With that said, it looks like the amiibos and amiibo set isn't going to be common like everyone hoped. So me stalking the amazon page is now justified.

Still, this is just a little too much Nintendo. *sigh*

I know how you feel, I called my local Gamestop and they said they stopped pre orders for the Amiibo hours after being announced. The Splatoon ones are some of the ones I want the most.

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

You guys definitely got my support, i think the inklings would make an excellent inclusion, so i wish you luck.

The cover of the latest issue of the Edge magazine features Splatoon:

Not gonna lie, that's beautiful. Is that the kind of magazine you can just grab at a store?

Two words: Cuteness Overlord

Still have to start reading Edge magazine more often since it's been years since my last issue.

Lol.

I want that cover, amiibo's and inklings in smash more than the actual game!!!!!!
(Priorities, you see. Budget it small.)

i made this for my DLC list (the pic was to big so)

So we know the full functionality of the amiibos.

Each comes with 15 missions and 5 pieces of unlockable equipment.

So we know some of the equipment so far:
Female Inkling:
1. Hair Clip 2. School Girl Uniform
Male Inkling:
1. Samurai
Squid
1. Space-like Amour

We also know how the missions work thanks to the treehouse, so this should be interesting to see what else is in store.

For those of you who want a valid explanation for no voice chat in Splatoon, here it is. It's actually pretty understandable since the FPS fans are known for being ignorant ****s or being flat out obnoxious during online matches.

[Reila]

Well, I am glad there is no voice chat in the game. Having to mute teammates in every match would get old really fast.

 

[Wintropy]

Not sure if it's the best option overall, but I can respect the rationale behind it. I don't play with voice chat anyway, so it's no issue to me.

 

[shuun]

Put me in the supporter list de-geso xD
But well, no voice chat isn't this much of a deal, i wonder why people are making a fuzz out of it.

Because people always have to find something to complain about. If anything, content locked behind amiibo is way worse than no voice chat.

It's bad if it's giving an advantage.

Although it kinda act like a day one DLC, so it's bad in this way.

It is bad because amiibos are next to impossible to find outside the United States, Japan and a few European countries. So besides the fact they are locking stuff behind the amiibos, a lot of people can't even buy the damn things.

 

[Burruni]

Don't know why I haven't really posted here before

I originally thought of Inklings to be more of a shoe in for Sma5h than a newcomer for Sm4sh, when it came to when they were revealed. Now that DLC has come to stay, I can proudly say these guys are my number 2 support for a newcomer.
Honestly, I think they're in the top 3 in likelihood for newcomer DLC, so let's raise a toast and get ink-faced when they splatter on the battleifeld!

Never fought of that actually... Yet I don't live in a huge town so finding amiibos can be hard.

But if it's not giving unfair advantages, it's "fine".

Although locking a schoolgirl outfit via amiibos is maybe the biggest commercial move from Nintendo

Love how you can customize your inkling with clothing, but don't like how I probably won't be able to find any Amiibo. I'd love my Inkling to run around like a samurai!

I can imagine Inkling palette swaps to be similar to Villager with different clothes and colors and genders.

Right, it isn't that bad in Splatoon, but they already started locking whole game modes behind amiibo (see: Mario Party 10), so it will only get worse.

Yep, that's what I fear. Although the Amiibo Party isn't really appealing at all.

From what I read, the whole game isn't. lol

Not surprising since Mario Party arguably went downhill since the 6th game and became a trainwreck since the 9th game.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Pretty sure that a friend will buy it, so I'll personally make some savings

It's pure nostalgia, but I guess that Mario Party 4 will always be the best for me.

 

[MintChipper]

I have that splatoon amazon page BOOKMARKED, I don't want this happening again.

Some pretty sick renders were found on the jp nintendo site.

Very nice. Wish there was a dark-skinned girl in the wallpapers, though.

[ShrekItRalph]

I'm going on a blackout on Splatoon news from here on out, I want some surprises once the game comes out. Also I really like the design of the Blue female Inkling so I may use it as my default colour if they are added to smash.

 

[Spyro839]

I support inkling for smash as well. I have my own moveset for inkling and everything. Could i be added as a supporter

What if the octoling was an alternate skin?

The moves involving her tentacle hair, if they use the boy version of the inkling, then how will the tentacle hair work, since the male inklings hair are tied in a ponytail.

I also have a moveset for inkling http://spyro123839.deviantart.com/journal/Inkling-for-sm4sh-526147698

Love the idea of Ink Paradise for the Inkling's final smash.

What if the octoling was an alternate skin?

I would support that if it was like the Koopalings and Bowser Jr.

 

[Reila]

What if the octoling was an alternate skin?

I wouldn't mind that. The eight alts could be three girls, three boys, Octoling with the default color and Octoling with alternate color.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Are there male and female octolings or are they all the same gender?

 

[fogbadge]

there is both i guess you missed the ones referred to as boys

 

[DonkaFjord]

We haven't really seen what looks like a male octoling yet. Their tumblr even captioned an octoling picture with 'Are there male octolings?' or something along those lines.

Edit:

there is both i guess you missed the ones referred to as boys

Ooooh link plz

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I must have missed them too, then.

Maybe because the female octolings are really cool.
