I'm interested in the N-Zap '89. Might give it a whirl before splatfest happens.
Octobrush Stats: http://vm.whatasha.me/splatoon/files/wep_values/RollerBrushNormal.txt
It's basically the Ink Brush with a lower Ink Speed and Mobility stat, but a higher Range stat in exchange. Its run speed is slower than the Ink Brush, but faster than the Carbon roller. It's ink trail is as you'd expect noticeably wider than the Ink Brush too sitting just short of the Carbon Roller's width. Its Splash range is greater than both the Ink Brush and Carbon Roller. Its splash damage is 37 per hit so it's a 3 hit splat unless the bad guy has the equivalent of at least two defense Up main abilities.
Overall I'd say as far as just the main weapon goes, this is likely to be a much better brush than its Ink brother. It makes up for what it lacks in both ink splash range/damage and ink trail size while still maintaining the overall high speed in both movement and swiping the brush category is known for. Its main set might not be for everyone, but its alternate set is the same as the Carbon Roller's main one (Burst Bombs and Inkzooka) which is arguably a much better fit as just like with aforementioned roller, it helps to cover for its range issue somewhat.
All that said, it's still a brush and as such will most likely never be able to hang with the big kid weapons in any sort of serious competitive environment. Still, it has the potential to be a lot of fun all the same. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

W/o sprinklers and inkstrike I'm skeptical about the number of points it will get in turf war when comparing the two. I see the original as supeirior in This regard. As far as Ranked mode...oooh baby!

Well, tomorrow's Splatfest is going to be an interesting scenario to test these weapons out. If neither of these weapons cut it for me, I'll just switch back to the Splash-O-Matic to grind for the Splatfest, then try them again after.

It has a Kraken.
On one hand, it's a glimmer of hope for Brush class users.
On the other hand, prepare for millions of laggy Japanese Octobrush users.

It's more like the equivilent of the E-Liter 3K to the Chargers and the Dynamo Roller to the Rollers.

Still can't wait to try both as an Inkbrush user! Octobrush? More like Krak-on Brush and I never used the N ZAP 89' before but looking at the sub and specials, I am gonna try it! But I love both so I can't wait to try them in combat!
Already in love with the new N-ZAP '89. The N-ZAP '85 is already up my alley, and sprinklers are so much fun to play with. I want to see the dynamic they have with a shooter weapon.
Agreed on this sentiment. I most often score highest in Turf Wars with the Inkbrush, even with Aerosprays and Rollers on the team. Never very favorable for the K/D ratio, but that's alright by me ;) This Octobrush sounds fun for Splat Zones though!

Ahh... The Octobrush! An even more support role-based brush! Now this will be fun to use! ^^ I'm still holding out for a custom brush that will have bombs as a sub though. It would really help in CQC :P
the n-zap comes with a sprinkler and inkstrike? damn. one of the reasons the inkbrush is good for turf wars is because of it has the best sub and special to that end, but i guess i'll give that weapon a shot if I feel like i want a weapon with actual range lol
octobrush looks interesting. i might give it a whirl but I don't really think i'll like it as much as I do the inkbrush.
