User blog comment:TheHelixYT/No Inkling For Smash 4/@comment-26504031-20150706062025/@comment-32390199-20150709093755

There are few gunners because Nintendo doesn't have many shooter titles. You expect Inkling to be a Mega Man clone while it also can be a refreshing new take on the gunner.

The comparison you make would've been like this in Brawl. Mega Man shouldn't come in because he would be a Samus clone. But Mega Man isn't a clone so why would Inkling be a clone while it has great potential for an unique character (especially if they apply the same properties of the ink in Smash)
