USB Headset.

I'm pretty sure they have a fair chunk of cost associated with them.

But I mean, do you REALLY need it in games that last for only 2 minutes and most grounds come down to "if you see something that isn't your color, shoot it," ? XD

I'm not too keen on buying a gaming headset at all for this game either, I'm good with the ol' headphones and laptop mic setup for playing with friends, also I don't need "DUDE,DUDUDUDUDDUDE FOLLOW ME DUDE, WHY DID YOU GO OVER THERE?! I'M QUITTING THIS SERVER YOU GUYS ALL SUCK, ****ING IDIOTS " in my ear all the time from random people when I'm playing.

I said USB solely because of his issue with his laptop not getting internet connection if it wasn't charging.

You all should be fairly glad that voice chat isn't an option with Inklings.

Because all that will happen when I escape any combat situation...

SPLATOON INKLING FOR SMASH 4 DLC!!
Inkling Moveset:

Jab: Whacks the Splattershot gun forward, another hit whacks it down, and the last finisher it fires a single ink burst downward.
Forward Tilt: Throws a burst bomb forward.
Down Tilt: Places an Ink mine. It will explode with a small ink burst when someone steps on it. Only 1 can be placed at a time.
Up Tilt: Does a short hop with a headbutt.

Dash Attack: Turns into Squid forms and spins around.

Standard Air: Turns into a squid and twirls around.
Forward Air: Hits the Splattershot gun forward in the whole semi-circle area in front of them.
Up Air: Fires a small shot of ink up.
Back Air: Whacks the splattershot gun quickly and powerfully behind them.
Down Air: Kicks their foot down. Not a meteor smash, but it works quickly.

Grab Pummel: Shoots the opponent with ink.
Forward Throw: Fires the Inkzooka weapon forward that will do a lot of damage and launch the enemy forward.
Up Throw: Throws enemies up and throws a Splat Bomb after them, exploding at them.
Down Throw: Trips the enemy and rolls over them with the Splat Roller
Back Throw: Pushes the enemy backwards and then kicks them away!

●Standard: Splattershot
Stands in place and shoots the ink from the Splattershot weapon. You can aim around by pointing with the left stick. It will do little damage but keep firing straight bursts, It will also make ink stay on walls and floors.

◀▶Side: Roller
Runs across the stage with the roller weapon, creating a path of ink behind them. It will carry enemies around and finishes off by lifting the roller up and smashing it down.

Up: Super Jump
Turns into a squid and jumps up, splatting ink below them, turning into human form when landing.. You don't do any damage going up, but landing on people will deal a lot of damage.

Down: Squid Tranform
Turns into a squid! They are very short and just lay on the ground, and will go slow if there is no ink. It is only useful for diving into ink or if you want to become smaller for some reason. You have no attacks in squid form.

Custom Moves:

Forward Smash: Charges their Splattershot, then releases a burst of ink forward, like the Mii Gunners smash attack.
Down Smash: Puts a Splash Wall down that releases bursts of ink, dealing major damage and launching with a finisher. Only lasts for like 1 second
Up Smash: Pulls out the sprinkler, and it twists around shooting ink. The Ink that it shoots out does some damage to people not caught in the smash. It deals repeated damage if they are caught and has a deadly finisher, like Mewtwo's final smash but with ink.1


FINAL SMASH: INKSTRIKE
Uses the INKSTRIKE weapon and launches a tornado of ink with a missle. Before shooting, you have a second to aim to pick your location. You can only slightly aim, but the Inkstrike shoots a missile in the air, then landing in front of you.

Stage: Urchin Underpass

It is very large stage.
I don't really know how it would work, but I think it is the perfect location for a stage.

Special Mechanics:

Ink!
Inkling can shoot Ink around the stage and use it to use their squid form. The ink stays around for 5 seconds and get smaller until disappearing after. If this happens in Squid form, the Inkling will safely jump out. While in the ink, you move around much faster, but you can only swim around and do nothing else. But, this allows for many unique possibilities, like to escape, use a follow up attack after, or play tricks and other stuff the community might come up with. You can also use it on walls to swim up them, allowing for recoveries as well! When you jump out, you go straight back into humanoid form allowing for follow-up attacks.

Some things can actually cover up or clean the ink though. This includes other ink from other inklings, (Inklings on your team will have the same colour ink) Fludd from Mario, Fire from any fire-breather, and pretty much any other projectile.

Other Inkling recolours have different coloured ink.

One inkling cannot put down so much ink, either. If a lot of ink is already on the stage, it will disappear if more ink is put anywhere else.




oh and btw the reoveries won't be OP because the Inkling can be lauched easily. Not as easy as kirby or jigglypuff, but still easy.

I might make some Inkling signatures soon so we can multiply the support for Inkling and Splatoon as a franchise soon, which renders of the Inkling do you guys recommend to me to make signature from?

So this is, like, a completely official manga?

Yep! I believe it came for free with an official Nintendo Magazine. Japan gets all the cool things...


In other news, Splatoon X Shinryaku! Ika Musume/ Invasion! Squid Girl is now official. I knew the creator liked the game, but I guess I did manage to get that conversation with Nintendo. We're one step closer to Ika DLC, everybody!

The Inklings are cool and all, but we could've had the awesomeness that was this?



Aww man! This would've been so much better. :(
Nintendo sure can be dumb sometimes.

Threw a bunch of votes for them awhile ago. Funny how despite how much I wanted them I never did that yet. Them shooting up to my most wanted newcomer might have something to do with that.

... Wow. I'm also glad that we have the inklings we now.

The screen with the rabbit-thing have an art style that scream "bad cheap game".

Eh, plenty of worse things have happened in the Pokemon manga before. Like that one scene with the zombie Arbok being decapitated or the many busty designs in that Electrical Tale of Pikachu manga.

It's good to know that the average Inkling's squiddly diddly is as small as you'd expect. Not like the many Rule 34 artists would even care. :troll:

Keep in mind that was at the alpha stage. The intention was for it not to look good but to be functional.

Oh, sure, as it's alpha stage, the quality cannot be as polished as the final product.

But there's something in the style itself that give the "cartoony quickly and poorly done game" vibe. That's where I realise I'm glad that the cities looks slightly realistic. Slightly.

With the blocks yeah, and the others aren't meant to be perfect or even finalized aesthetically, but the squids and the rabbit are deliberate design choices.

I'm glad they ended up with the Inklings instead.

Though I kinda hope that rabbit - refined some - shows up down the line in the series.

They are design choices in the case of functionality, but not aesthetic. Had they gone with the rabbits, they would have not looked anywhere near the same, but maintained the key features (big ears, white).
