—Description from the Super Smash Blog. |
The Inklings are Newcomer fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were revealed in the first teaser trailer for the game, which aired on March 8, 2018.
When unlocked, the female Inkling is fought at Moray Towers.
How to Unlock
Complete one of the following:
- Play VS. matches, with Inkling being the 5th character to be unlocked after Pit.
- Clear Classic Mode with Samus or any character in her unlock tree, being the first character unlocked.
- Have Inkling join the player's party in World of Light.
For the first two methods, the player must fight and defeat Inkling on Moray Towers.
Attributes
Strengths
- When the Inkling inks opponents, they will take more damage
Weaknesses
- Inklings can only regenerate ink by holding down the "B" button while shielding (which can be time consuming) or respawning.
- When low on ink, special moves and its smash attacks become much weaker in both damage and knockback.
- When in water, they take small amounts of damage during the time they stay in the water.
Summary
The Inkling is considered a completely new addition to the roster, as the moveset takes strong inspiration from the Splatoon games. Using multiple weapons from the games (mainly the Splattershot), the Inkling has the unique attribute of mainly using ink to battle opponents, in which players who get temporarily covered in it take more damage from any attack. Some attacks, like the Splattershot and Splat Roller, even leave ink on the ground which slows down opponents who walk in it. Most of the Inkling's attacks use ink, including smash attacks, and the Splattershot may be considered the main way to quickly cover enemies entirely in ink. However, just like in its home series, the Inkling has a limited ink supply, which if it runs out, special attacks and smash attacks will become weaker, some special attacks becoming useless without it. To work around this, the player can press B while shielding to turn into the Inkling's squid form to refill the ink tank. Thusly, the Inkling's strategy works around the concept of controlling the ink supply and using the ink to keep opponents at a disadvantage in both movement and damage percentage.

Trivia
- Both female & male Inkling are shown in the opening cutscene of World of Light, making them the only character to have two of its skins appear side by side. That's because these are technically different characters in regards to the lore.
