Inkling
A TierInkling excels at controlling space and punishing opponents with their ink-based mechanics, making effective use of moves like Splattershot and Splat Bomb to keep foes at bay. Utilize the Splat Roller for both offense and defense, as it can bury opponents and disrupt their approaches, while the Super Jump offers versatile recovery options. However, Inkling can struggle against characters with strong projectile games or those that can easily punish their lack of ink; maintaining a healthy ink supply is crucial, as running out significantly weakens their attacks. To maximize effectiveness, mix up when you recharge ink and focus on edge guarding with back aerials or deep off-stage maneuvers, ensuring you remain unpredictable and aggressive in your approach.

Tips for Inkling
- Don’t spam roller like a c***, inkling has several moves
- Inklings roller neutralizes Cloud’s blade beam and not many Cloud players know this until you roll right through their beams and bury them. Use this to force the spammers to actually play the game
- Please learn how to edge guard (and I don’t mean ledge trapping with splat bomb) Start with run off stage bair for edge riders and then learn your deep off stage potential with fair and dair.
- Mix up when you recover ink (at half tank, at empty tank, etc) to become less predictable.
- Never let your tank get completely empty. Most of Inkling’s moves rely on ink. No ink = painfully weaker attacks and it’s nearly impossible to recharge unexpectedly without getting hit
