Corrin


Diddy Kong

Dr. Mario


Duck Hunt

Fox

Very hard to punish pressure out of shield and land, but dies super early therefore mitigating one of Inkling's weaknesses

One of the most stage dependent mu's inkling has because of woosh out of shield>up tilt and plat camping


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Ice Climbers

Ice Climbers
Slightly Unfavorable

Very hard to deal with two characters at once due to string based gameplan and lack of consistent tools to separate them, but once one is dealt with the other follows suit. Also can be gimped quite well

Ken


King Dedede

King Dedede
Slightly Favorable

Deceptively fast Up Smash out of shield, armor on Up B, multiple jumps, disjoints, and being super heavy make this mu more difficult than it would seem on the surface


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


King K. Rool


Kirby

Kirby
Favorable

Runs out of copy ability ink; can't recharge


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Link

Link
Even

Like duck hunt, forces options in neutral & heavily punishes them. When you get in his face he can struggle but his nair and disjoints give him decent enough boxing tools to give you a run for your money

Pit


Pokemon Trainer

Easily the most annoying to deal with. Hard to punish oos. Use splattershot and bair to stuff out approaches

Can steal stocks early and force options with razor leaf, but mostly loses in neutral and vine whip recovery can be gimped

Also steals stocks early but mostly only with rage. Also mostly loses in neutral but watch out for fast and strong oos and massive kill moves

Can pokemon switch out of confirms, but leaves them vulnerable afterwards


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Aegis (Pyra/Mythra)

Pyra & Mythra
Slightly Unfavorable

With a lead can stuff out approaches very well and can steal stocks with or without rage

Foresights out of strings and out frame datas in neutral; hard to punish oos

Both suffer from gimping hard, but Mythra less so. Can switch out of confirms without the PT vulnerability issues

Ridley


R.O.B.

R.O.B.
Even

The hardest even Inkling has. Hard to punish spaced pressure out of shield, hard to get off ledge safely, can have stocks stolen by touch of deaths, hard to get stocks off edgeguarding due to multitude of stalling options, great amount of fuel, and heaviness. However, Inkling also has some strengths in the mu. R.O.B. is combo food and also struggles to deal with spaced pressure from bair and dash attack crossups out of shield. You can also use his gyro against him as an out of shield option or for ledgetrapping. Lastly TODs are still possible but harder to land thanks to inkling's small size


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Robin


Rosalina & Luma

Rosalina & Luma
Slightly Unfavorable

Same weaknesses as Icies mu, but luma respawns. During the time its gone, however, you can abuse Rosa's big size super light weight and lack of hitbox on Up B to quickly take stocks.


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Roy

Roy
Even

Chrom mu with more stock stealing and less gimping


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Ryu

Ryu
Slightly Favorable

Ken mu but not forced to approach recklessly and better hadoken pressure


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Samus (Samus & Dark Samus)


Sephiroth

Sephiroth
Slightly Favorable

Mix your approaches; Use low profiling to bait out angled down ftilt/side b spam and then use landing bair/nair to get advantage going for example


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Sheik

Sheik
Even

One of the few mus where Inkling does the stock stealing. She's hard to punish out of shield, has super fast frame data, and really far reaching recovery with wall cling, but she's also super light and lacks disjoints to challenge inkling air to air. Sheik can also struggle to land her combos on Inkling because of their small size


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Shulk

Shulk
Unfavorable

The epidemy of everything Inkling hates: Frame 1 kill confirm escaping with arts, stealing stocks with smash, safe pressure from massive disjoints, hard to edgeguard and ledgetrap unless you trade. It's still doable since Shulk is a difficult character to play at his peak.


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Belmonts (Simon & Richter)


Snake

Snake
Favorable

Using bair on the bottom half of his hurtbox won't activate the grenade if hes holding it. Mix up your approaches and abuse your small hurtbox


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Sonic

Sonic
Even

Hit and run the mu. Sonic can be hard to catch when hes camping, but when you have the lead bair and roller are good at stuffing his approaches. Inkling also gets more from interaction wins then he does


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Sora


Steve

Steve
Even

Gets pick looped so needs to mx sdi/di well and has stocks stolen, but has the tools to mix approaches on walls and abuse Steve's disadvantage until his resources are low. Dash hurtbox shifting makes his grab hard to land because of its arc


Opponent's Overview | Advanced Stats | Inverse Matchup Return to the top


Terry

Terry
Even

Top MK Player Opinion: Has the benefits of fgc characters (high damage output and kill potential per interaction win) but without the weaknesses. Has spammable pressure that's hard to deal with and comeback mechanic that never runs out on a heavy, but gets mostly stuffed out by bair and gimped very early
