    I think Joker fell off for me. He wasn't useful for me anymore in Ultimate so when I dropped him in five seconds for Sephiroth, I NEVER went back to using him. However, I trained my Joker amiibo and that toy is a MONSTER. I have both Joker and Sephiroth's amiibo and they're my two favorite boys! And both of them are terrifying!

      This is a great question. I genuinely think it's probably Fox. He's always been towards the bottom end of top 10 throughout the game's lifespan and even now he's typically considered to still be there. I can't really think of another really good character who's just been in a similar tier postion for the entirety of the meta.

    Great analysis of Inkling's evolution in Smash Ultimate! It's fascinating to see how a character that was initially top-tier has dropped so much in the meta over the years. The way players gradually learned to counter her strengths, like the Splat Roller and her neutral game, really highlights how important adaptation is in fighting games. It's also interesting that despite her weaknesses, players like ShirYuki are still able to make Inkling shine, showing that there’s still potential left to explore. I’m hoping we might see a bit of a resurgence in future tournaments! Thanks for the retrospective.

  • @RickyG93
    @RickyG93 2 місяці тому

    Inkling main here. Inkling isn't that bad versus Steve. No idea what that Discord is talking about. She has a very powerful tool to fight against walls. You can throw a Splat Bomb over the wall forcing Steve to sheild and allowing for approaches. It's pretty full proof, you just need to be careful of Minecart, but this can be baited. It's still a hard matchup because Steve is broken, but Fox and Peach cause more problems for Inkling than Steve. Peach can't be buried by Roller outside of tech chases due to Float while also just being a lot harder to deal with in neutral while Fox just runs Inking over in nuetral and can't be comboed because he falls so fast that he falls out of Inkling combos. Also not listing Snake as a notable good matchup is odd considering it's an even better matchup for them than any of those you listed (Splattershot blows up grenades, even latger uthrow uair window). And for aspiring Inkling mains, Inkling's poor oos game is somewhat mitigated by parrying or by using movement over sheilding to avoid attacks. Inkling has a top 5 dash in the game. If you can shift your muscle memory to dash certain attacks rather than sheild and get good enough at parrying most of the rest, this weakness becomes less problematic. It's a tall ask and it's why I'd argue Inkling is harder to use at high level than many other characters but it's feasible. Also, SPAM GRAB, ESPECIALLY DASH GRAB. Like the UA-cam said, holding sheild is good against mashy Inklings. You can use this to your advantage. Conditioning sheild with bair and Roller attempts can net you a LOT of free grabs. Make use of empty land grabs too, and look to crossup sheilds against characters with weak out of sheild options behind them (SIGNIFICANT ROB WEAKNESS).

    There are so many characters in Ultimate that would be top 20 right now if it weren’t for the polarizing DLC releases. Almost every DLC release in Ultimate to date, offered an unfavorable or outright bad matchup to Ness, knocking him down far further than he ever needed to be. Ness is now largely meta-irrelevant in a game where he’s stronger than he’s ever been.
