Although I'm not particularly fond of rollers, I find myself intrigued.....

Aren't Sheldon's picks meant for underused weapons? I see Splat Rollers all the time!

I kind of hope/think that it will come with or , because those subs are pretty rare, especially the point sensor, and both haven't been used on any splat roller before. For the special, it may get . Point sensor + inkstrike is a pretty funny combination.

My Krak-On strategies are heavily reliant on its kit, but I'm quite curious to see what this new roller has in store!

Underused or popular weapons. (Would you consider Splattershots underused?) I see Krak-On Splat Rollers plenty, but the vanilla almost never appears, so hopefully a new kit might encourage more variety.

The direct said popular and underused

New roller variant, eh? For some reason I get the feeling it'll be more support-oriented than the other two, though obviously I can't say for sure. Either way, color me intrigued. Here's to hoping we get a Nintendo Direct about this soon.

Hmm, could this also mean will get some more buffs and nerfs once this new toy takes the stage?

I will have a good laugh if they give it a Bubbler. "Pfft, stupid roller running straight at me. I'll just—ZAPFISH NO SHE BUBBLED!! *respawns*"

Yes!!! As a krak on main with over 300,000p inked on it (my most used weapon) I cannot wait! My dream set would be splash wall x bubbler.

@_@ That sounds horrific enough to make even dynamos hate you.

You're right :) dynamos do hate me.

Finally. Krak-On was way too overrate for my taste.

As funny as that sounds, a Splat Roller with a Bubbler would be like a Kraken, but slower if you do intend to roll them over. Plus you could repel them if you can out range them.

Disruptor + Inkzooka let's go! More realistically, I'm actually not sure what they'd do with it. No roller type has a throwable Bomb Rush so maybe they'll do Splat Bombs + Bomb Rush, but I feel that's just too similar to the vanilla Splat Roller.

 

[Ulk]

Rollers and disruptors. God forbid, you animals. ... On second thought though, as long as it's not a carbon or dynamo with that sub-weapon, I'm good. Even though it would be overused as hell.

The New Splat Roller has the Splash Wall and Inkzooka and new gear has been confirmed as well!

 

[Ansible]

Oh, so close! No bubbler but at least a splash wall.

Wonder how troublesome they'll be when they wall up.

The Splattershot got a Sheldon version so no

 

[Green Waffles]

I don't believe anything until nintendy or nwplayer reveals it, especially after that first sheldon's picks "leak"

...I WANT it to be real though, because I do not want to see a roller with disruptors xP

I think we can have a bit more hope with this one, we have actual pictures this time rather than just text.

I'm super excited for this update. A new roller and gear is pretty much everything I hope for! (not that I don't love the other weapons, but rollers are too great for me) And I love that little animal design, it looks adorable.(I keep mistaking the mouth for an underbelly and thinking it's a dragon. I'll probably still end up calling it a dragon roller)

I was hoping for a special besides Inkzooka, but it's a good way to give it a ranged attack. (and force me to learn how to get good at it)

It kind of looks like we're getting a new brand, too? There's a logo on the hat, the hoodie, and the roller, which usually happens with brand logos.
