1) to everyone claiming that Ninjini is overrated - if you do not have her yet, you may not make that claim. Something cannot be overrated if you lack an experience to which you can compare what people are saying about that thing. You lack grounds to make the claim.

2) if you look at that post with the stats, Ninjini's stats look pretty damn good, so you don't really have a case for her being overrated anyway. Based on her stats and what I have read about her attacks, she may very well be one of the best, if not the best, giants.

Now that I have Ninjini, she is in no way overrated. Her charged up sword attack lands like 120 damage, and she's by far the fastest Giant.

No, Swarm and Tree Rex are the fastest. She's not any faster than Bouncer who has the same speed, and Tree Rex and Swarm could Charge/Fly right past both of them.

You forgot thumpback

Wait, if you don't have her yet, isn't it a bit hypocritical of you to say how great she is without grounds to make that claim?

Thumpback is way overrated. Don't get me wrong, he's alright and I'm glad I own him, but he is just too darn slow, both in moving or attacking.

Hypocrit. And you cant base things off stats, terrafin has crap stats yet decimates 95% of all skylanders-without taking one hit.

Hot Head! Eye Brawl and Thumpback are rated pretty highly, but they actually perform close to those high expectations in-game. Hot Head is only as good as Bouncer, in my book, and is still treated like one of the upper-tier Giants anyway.

Ok.... while I do agree that Hot Head is overrated, Thumpback is twice as much. His problem in PvP is a fast melee character with high DPS like or . His standard melee attacks are too slow to hit them and his bellyflop is hard to control, so it's best to spam the bite attack. Even then, the striking speed and DPS aren't that good and he can get beaten with ease.

He's slow, his attacks are slow, what isn't slow about him? He's still treated like a GOD-tier Giant.

one word

^ Stealth Elf is not a giant.

It's always the characters that get released late that everyone says are overrated. Same thing happened in SSA everyone was yelling about how overrated Sunburn, Warnado, Camo, and Wham-Shell were.

^ Yet Lightning Rod was released late and no one likes him.

No. You lot are saying 'Everyone is making such a big fuss about her, therefore she must be overrated'. I am saying 'Look at her stats and moves - actual evidence - which suggests that she may in fact prove to be the best'. My claim is different because a) it is conditional (I said 'may') and b) it is based on actual evidence (stats, move descriptions, etc.) rather than mere speculation.

Everyone saying Swarm is unrealistic is basically saying that Wrecking Ball should have a lot more feet, Stump Smash should sit down and do nothing, and Chill should be frozen by herself.

I'm not saying he's "unrealistic" I'm saying he's a design failure based on what they could have/should have done

Why are Tree Rex, Bouncer, Crusher, Swarm, and Hot Head so unpopular, but Ninjini is so popular?

Because girls like the girl Skylanders. Like me.

Uh, no? I'm a girl and my favorite skylanders are male.

As for overrated, I'll jump on the Hot Head train. I don't really count the recently released giants because it's just hype over wanting to acquire them that contributes to the overratedness.

I'm sorry if you expected all the Giants to be OP, because to me it seems you're just a bit sad that Swarm wasn't. Matter of fact, ANY Skylander can be very powerful in the right hands. And not everyone will be broken instantly. Not everyone gets to be in first place- there will always be those that are second or third. And that is good. Character being objectively weak =/= a bad thing. It actually makes them require more strategy, a good thing if you like strategizing.

Worrying about how Swarm relates to actual wasps is just a bit silly. Sharks aren't anthromorphic, skeletons aren't alive, and suits of armor filled with fire don't move in real life so why worry about how much sense a gigantic bee makes? LOL this remind me of that argument in TBBT about giant ants. For the record, a giant rabbit is possible.

Eye-Brawl by far. It isn't all that stunning to play, and while it's got a cool personality, I'm overall quite disappointed in such a late-release character. At least Thumpback was sort of fun.
Don't understand why people say Ninjini is overrated. I see a bit of love for her, but more hate for her.
Despite being more common in marketing, Bouncer and Tree Rex are very underrated. Rarely, anyone talks about their gameplay. At least Crusher and Hot Head appear in discussion from time to time. I'd say Swarm is MOST underrated, though. It upsets me that nobody ever talks about the awesomeness that is the oversized wasp prince.

Agreed.

is overrated
