Shooting paint in Splatoon is “sort of like vandalism”, producer Hisashi Nogami told Polygon.
He said:
“Just talking about shooting paint, it’s sort of like vandalism. If we were all in this room and someone came in and said OK guys make this room as messy as you want, you’d probably get really happy and like, destroy things! I think people still have that child-like feeling of wanting to make a mess, wanting to get dirty. I think they would be able to enjoy this game. And I think people have that no matter how old they get.”

Monk – All about physical attacks similar to past games, Monks rush down enemies with barrages of attacks, with low defensive and high health

The newly announced Mii fighters operate a bit differently to traditional Smash Bros. characters thanks their customization options and today Sakurai explains a bit more about that:
Here are some weapons the Mii Swordfighter can use: Shurikens of Light, Chakrams, and Gale Strikes. You can control the direction the Chakram is thrown, or even make it stall in midair. The Chakram is also the only one of these tied to the side special move, so you can use one of the other items consecutively with this one.
