Marina From Splatoon 2
A little late in the game, but based on the events of Fighter Pass two with the addition of Min Min and now Pyra and Mythra, I think that Marina might be the next step as a DLC fighter. When this is, I can’t say; however, I do believe that if there is a Fighter’s Pass three, she’ll be very likely, that is, if she’s not in Fighter’s Pass two.
Unlike Pearl, Marina is more deeply rooted in the lore and events of the Splatoon Franchise and the themes of Splatoon 2 as a whole. For example. Marina is a defective, highly regarded weapons engineer from DJ Octavio ranks. She witnessed Agent 3 (the Inkling of Splatoon 1) defeat Octavio in the final battle. After Defecting is when she partners with Peral and creates their band ‘Off the Hook.’ Marina is responsible for creating notable things in the game, such as the ‘Flooder,’ which was an obstacle found in both Splatoon 1 and 2. She also made the ‘Shifty Stages,’ which are Splatfest stages available for private battles. More obviously, Marina is an Octoling, representing the playable nature of the race by players in Splatoon2. Also lastly and this is speculatory, but based on the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest, Marina might be the one who establishes the order in making a new Inkopolis if Pearl somehow nearly sent Splatoon’s earth into a second apocalypse.
Agent 8, much like Agent 4(The Inklings of Splatoon 2) and 3(The Inklings of Splatoon 1), are avatar characters. This is speculatory again; however, if we do get another Splatoon rep, much like with Animal Crossing’s inclusion of Isabelle, it will be a prominent named character in the franchise. As that is something missing from the Roster that we don't have from Splatoon yet. Having another avatar character would be doing mostly the same thing without adding much else from the franchise. From what we get lore-wise from Marina, she very much is in multiple facets of the lore, even more deeply rooted than Callie and Marie.
Moveset
Normals
Jab
Marina’s standard jab would be a kick and a homage to the dodging that the Splat Duallies give the player in Splatoon 2. These kick can lead into a rapid-fire shot from the Splat Duallies when Marina’s ink tank is sufficiently filled.
Up Tilt
A forward two-hit lunge pistol-whipping the opponent with each Splat Duallie
Dash attack
No difference in animation from Inkling’s dash but can lead to a breakdance head spin when using a dash attack.
Down Tilt
A more upward angled version of Inkling’s Down Tilt
Side Tilt
A backhanded strike with one of her Splat Duallies
Air Attacks
N-Air
An aerial windmill kick much like Inkling’s but with a wider range.
B-Air
Marina strikes an action pose while shooting the Splat Duallies behind her.
F-Air
A sideways aerial front flip
D-Air
A rolling downward kick spikes when striking the start of the move.
Up-Air
A quick duo of kicks mimic a motion of her kicking a soccer ball.

Forward Smash
Heavy Splatling
A Splatoon version of the Mii Gunner’s forward Smash.
Up Smash
Kensa Octobrush
A giant paintbrush much like Inkling’s forward Smash but it hits more upwards.
Down Smash
Bloblobber
The Bloblobber would act like the Inkling’s Down Smash except there will be lingering bubbles that explode after a short period of time.

Neutral
The Splat Dualies
The main weapon of Splatoon 2 acting as Marina’s standard weapon. I imagine it would work no differently than Inkling’s Splatteshot from Splatoon 1. It will cover the opponent in ink much as one would do in Splatoon.
Sheild + Specials
Refilling Ink
Sheild + hold the Speical move button
Splat Dualie dodge shot
Roll + hold the Special move button for a shot backward or forward, this will consume ink when used.
Side
Splat Brella
Marina brandishes her preferred weapon, the Splat Brella. This weapon can be charged to launch farther and will act as a shield blocking any hit before the umbrella is launched pushing opponents away from Marina. This will function much like Greninja’s Water Shuriken however it has a limited amount of health and can be destroyed if hit with a powerful hit or projectile.
Up
Ink-Jet
A jet pack that sends Marina upwards. The ink from this jet pack can push opponents down if they too are in the air and knock grounded opponents backward.
Down
Auto bomb
A bomb that can be thrown like Inkling's bomb but like Bowser. Jr’s Mechakoopa’s it will walk around the stage looking for an opponent before it explodes.

Pummel
Grabs the opponents and hits them with the back of her free Splat Duallie.
Down Throw
A big axe downward that pop the opponent back up at higher percents.
Back Throw
A huge spin kick, that will kill on higher presents.
Forward Throw
A 'goal kick' that's a heavy swing backward for an upsetting kick forward that kills at higher percents.
Up Throw
A head butt upward followed by a quick succession of fire from her Splat Duallies.

Marina summons Pearl and together they fire the Princess Cannon. Which acts like a bigger version of the Killer Wail that Inkling uses.
Up
Peral is summoned and the two of them perform the ‘Off the Hook’ pose
Down
Marina puts her hand on her headphone and uses her other hand to scratch a non-existing record, making a record scratching noise as she does so.
Side
Does a juggle with a Salmonid egg using her knees.
