Don't know how credible this site is, or anything at all about it really since I don't speak Japanese, but the list doesn't seem too farfetched and since it should be officially revealed soon anyway there isn't much point to faking it, but of course it's still just a baseless rumor for now. Still I think it's realistic enough to talk about, and so I'm giving my quick thoughts on each of the weapons below!
-=Sheldon’s Picks Vol.1=-
Wasabi Splattershot - Splat Bomb/Inkstrike
Eh, I get it, most popular weapon, but also already great, so give it a new variant but make it inferior to the others. Fun to play around with, but probably better off not using it for realz. I know this weapon aint newly revealed but meh!
Berry Splattershot Pro - Suction Bomb/Bomb Rush
The Splattershot Pro is an awesome gun and Suction Bombs are an awesome sub, nuff said really. This'll definitely be my favorite Pro variant now. We already knew about this one too though.
Fresh Squiffer - Suction Bomb/Kraken
The last weapon we already know about. While the kit is unique and awesome, the Squiffer itself I still find to be overall inferior to Splat Chargers (and harder to use without motion controls), but I'll still play around it, I mean look how fresh it is.
Slosher Muscat - Sprinkler/Echolocator
Much disappointment. I was so hyped for this thing, only for it to turn out to be much worse than both current Slosher variants. While Echocolocater is great especially for hitting enemies behind walls, the Slosher needs combat assistance, and Sprinkler obviously don't fit that bill. I was really really hoping for Splat/Suction bombs as even just their splash damage would turn the Slosher into a one hit kill, but alas...
Bamboozler 14 Mk Ⅲ - Sprinkler/Inkzooka
I mean Inkzooka is great obviously, but Sprinkler is definitely worse than Splash Walls and Disruptors, so I'd say this set is also overall worse than the existing ones. Tis a shame.
Inkbrush Modern - Burst Bomb/Bomb Rush
Now this is clearly the best Inkbrush, not that that's a hard feat to accomplish though lel. I have a friend who's a Brush main and this is exactly what he wanted! Great mobility on top of a much improved offense should make this legit. Hell I'm wishing I could use this, but alas I can't do button mashing and it really needs motion controls. Still I'm really happy this exist!
Potato Splash-O-Matic - Splat Bomb/Bubbler
R.I.P. Splattershot Jr.
Rapid Blaster Lime - Burst Bomb/Inkstrike
Argh Inkstrike why!? This woulda been so perfect otherwise, but now it's still hard to justify using it over the Pro Blaster and it's superior range and not Inkstrike specials. It is a Blaster with Burst Bombs though so hell yeah I'm still gonna play around with it!

Seagull Splat Charger - Splash Wall/Inkstrike
Might seem ridiculously good, perhaps too much so, but I honestly think it's fine, and no I'm not just saying that, I do agree that the E-Liter should lose it's Burst Bombs afterall. The thing is it's the regular not scoped Splat Charger, and it's special is Inkstrike, so that should be fair enough.
Honey Splat Roller - Disruptor/Inkzooka
Well shit, between this and the Inkbrush Modern the Carbon Roller has some real competition! That's great since I'm starting to think the Carbon is the most overused Roller. But anyway, Disruptor + Inkzooka, just let that sink in for a moment.
Soda Pop Blaster - Seeker/Echolocator
Meh, but I'm guessing that's the point. Love the name though!
H-3 Nozzlenose Nitro - Squid Beakon/Kraken
It was Splash Wall or bust for this weapon, and you didn't give it a Splash Wall.
Cherries Dual Squelcher - Disruptor/Bubbler
Awesome set as we already know, so it should definitely help the Dual Squelcher see more play. With it's better range and no need to charge I think I'll prefer this over the Zink Mini. Also I see what they're doing there with the name!
N-Zap ’07 - Splash Wall/Inkzooka
......What the fuck!?
Carbon Roller Au Lait - Squid Beakon/Bubbler
Bubbler on zero range weapon, we've seen how that worked out for the Inkbrush. The regular Carbon remains the best Carbon, but I suppose that's for the best.
Tomato Neo Sploosh-O-Matic - Seeker/Bomb Rush
Eh, I really don't know about this one. Seekers can help it get in close while also providing a ranged attack, but I mean, they're Seekers. I can tell you it doesn't work out too well with the Carbon so I'm guessing it'll be the same here.
