Nintendo UK has just put up a trailer for the previously announced Splatoon 2 UK Championship;


Good luck to any squid-kids who decide to enter! :grin:

Just a heads-up to any Squid-kids in the US who are looking to get a Switch at the moment: The Walmart-exclusive Splatoon 2 Switch bundle (which includes a Switch console with Neon Green & Neon Pink Joy-Cons, a download-code for the full version of Splatoon 2, and a Splatoon 2 Switch carrying-case) has been released today.

This will surely be the freshest way to play both Splatoon 2 and Smash Switch. ;)

A no brainer for Smash! It would be silly to leave these guys out, yet as an AT


Count me in for support!

I don't like calling characters "no brainers", but I would be really surprised if Inklings weren't added in the next entry.

I think it would be cool to incorporate their massive launch that they can do after they spawn in (after dying in splatoon). It could work as their recovery maybe? Or possibly as their down-b. My idea is it works similarly to pikachu's down-b and have a squid fly down on you causing an explosion or something

Here's an idea: since there a ton of good move ideas for the Inklings, why not make TWO Inkling characters: Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy?

They would share some normals and the Super Jump Up-B, but they could use different weapons for their specials and some of their normals. I'd say the Inkling Boy should focus on close-range, while Inkling Girl focuses on long-range.

and those new stages look great

I'm just here to say this: Inkling is the most obvious newcomer, like, 99% to get in. UNLESS:



Do you guys will get mad if Sakurai chooses one of them?

Nope.

I would actually prefer one of them to an Inkling, even though it makes 0 sense and wouldn't happen.

I can definitely see them as one of the most unique characters (except if Nintendo decides ruin the character interestingness and uniqueness like they did with Pac-Man, and a few others :crying: ).

I can kinda see them as sharing a lot of similarities to Etalus from Rivals of Aether (the best Smash clone out there).

After playing Splatoon 2 for a month or 2 I gotta say there is more than enough for a unique move set... that'll end up annoying me in some way, I bet. But despite the possible headaches I welcome a new gunner type character.

All I have to say is, they MUST add Inkling Boy as a playable character somehow. Bonus point if in the reveal trailer, he gets first bid.

I feel like Inkling Boy is going to be similar to female Robin, male Wii Fit Trainer, etc., in that he'll be one of the costume options. I'm guessing that the Inkling girl will be the default costume, though, since that seems to be the more recognizable version.

Fair enough as I expect him to be an alternate costume anyway. I just really want him to be playable.

Inklings confirmed for Smash!

I knew they would be in the next Smash as soon the first Splatoon game came out in 2015.

Pretty much a no brainer I think.

There weren't really any scenarios I could see where Inklings weren't the first new characters revealed.

It's still awesome though. :)

Congrats guys.
It was a guarantee Inklings would be in Smash Switch, and it was also pretty much a guarantee they'd be the first characters announced.
It's still great news now.
and now... now that the Smash Switch news has begun.. we can all really start to get hyped!!

Kudos to all Inkling supporters.

I always saw Inking as a likely inclusion, (1) because they're unique, and (2) the Splatoon series is not only popular, but phenomenal.

I sincerely look forward to seeing how they play in the new Smash.
