Splat Roller (スプラローラー, Splaroller) is Inkling's side special move.
Overview
Upon use, Inkling will take out the Splat Roller and begin to slide it across the ground, covering the ground in ink that slows enemies that move on it. Only a certain length can be inked at a time (roughly 80 units) and ink fades away in five seconds. If an enemy that is standing on the ground is hit by the Roller, they will be buried. Rolling over an enemy that is already buried will instead launch them. The move has no effect on airborne opponents. If Inkling's ink tank is empty, the move has no effect and Inkling will move much slower.
The move aids with recovery if used in the air, moving Inkling forward as they fall with the roller. Pressing the jump button during then grants Inkling a small extra jump. The forward momentum only applies if used with ink; performing the move in the air with an empty tank only results in Inkling dropping almost straight down.
Origin
The Splat Roller is one of the main weapons and Roller class weapons available to the player in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. In its home series, the Splat Roller could also fling ink a short distance to deal damage. In Splatoon 2, jumping and flinging ink in midair would result in the player performing a vertical swing, which allows ink to be flung farther, albeit slower. Running over an enemy Inkling with the Splat Roller would almost always splat an enemy in one hit, making the weapon very deadly in melee range.
Trivia
- Despite being the only move that can cover the ground with ink in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, all of the other ink weapons that Inkling uses for her moveset will cover the ground with ink in her home series when used on an inkable surface.
