Splatoon OCs!

This is my concept for a Spatoon weapon inspired by a polaroid camera! (The OneStep with the added flash specifically)

It has a unique mechanic, two different firing modes. BUT! They alternate automatically, so you'll have to strategize around that. (A gif showcasing the inking is below the cut, below the image! Telling you due to potentially triggering flashing!)

The first slosh is always the "Flash Slosh". Its shape is similar to a horisontal flick with a Carbon Roller, but maybe lower range.

After that, the "Pic Slosh"! It is similar to an Explosher slosh but with half the range and instead of a round explosion, an inkpattern of a polaroid photo is dispensed, like the ink pattern after an Ultra Stamp! (idk what kinda damage the different sloshes do, balancing is hard!!)

This is my concept for a weapon (and a new weapon class) for Splatoon! It's inspired by a spiralbound notebook and ballpoint pen! The weapons works as a sword/rapier and shield combo!

Basic controls for the Jabberblocky weapon class: ZR tap = Shield bash. (It's like a horisontal roller flick in range, spread shot instead of long range) ZR hold = Shield bash + the shield is deployed (Like when you deploy a brella, it shoots ink first and then makes a shield that also inks the ground. Shield is maybe on par with undercover brella hitbox, maybe somewhat skinnier. The shield always stays with you, doesn't shoot away!) ZR hold + B + directional input = Accurate sword jab + player lunges forward (like a charged Splatana attack, but the sword isn't swung. It's thrust forward!) B + ZR = Inaccurate sword jab (Works like vertical roller flick, long range instead of spread shot. Has the same property as Shooters, Blasters, Dualies and Splatlings, with the projectile(s) being less accurate when jumping) B + ZR + directional input = Inaccurate sword jab + player lunges forward

So yeah, its like a Roller, Splatana and Brella blended into one. What it might gain in versatility is maybe balanced out by the shields and damage being more middlin. The hitboxes for the shield and ink attacks being smaller on average than their more specialized counterparts might make up for it??? Idk, I'm not great at balancing.
