FUN FACT: once you start inkling's side B there is no escape

@casualwoomy 5 years ago

With like 3 teabags, inkling is easily the best character in the game

As good as this video is, you forgot to mention the most important aspect about inkling.

The skins

A thing I like to do as inking is I will wall jump at the ledge and back air.

dash dancing is the squidbagging of smash

I was in a Arena and there was this Young Link kicking everyone's ass including mines so I decided to pick a random character for fun so I went with Inkling. I almost 3-0'd him. And I never played inkling before. So now I'm here lol

@tuskgretto4062 6 years ago (edited)

I just fought an inkling as ganondorf and all they kept doing was side b and up smash.I feel violated

@edumacation4583 6 years ago

May be worth mentioning in disadvantage you can roller under stage and make a recovery on most legal stages

I was looking for an updated video! What a timing.

Not being able to consistently recharge before having a completely empty tank makes this one of my most hated characters to play

@Killerdude714 6 years ago

A cool thing I do is that if the bomb explodes I will dash into the center of it mid explosion and hit them with any attack mainly dash this is awesome when u get the chance to do it coz the ink covers the screen a bit covering Ur character so yeh
If u get what I mean

@GhostofMo 6 years ago

Inkling was planned to be a pocket character of mine. But I never really got into that character.

But thanks for this video and the guide - now I'm thinking about trying him/her out again.

Great work, Dan - as always 👍

Fun Fact: if you try to rapid jab bowser your dead

@EDS_Swag20 6 years ago

A good way to land a roller is when you hit someone who ends up lying on the ground, Immediately follow up with a roll. 5 times out of 10, they’ll end up rolling backwards and the second they stand their in the ground.
