IS there some evidence that Thrillipede will come out in wave 3 or 4? What should be the expected date releases of these waves?

Thrillipede is looking to be this year's Wham Shell

Yeah, I'm expecting it. I really hate having to buy a character for a game I've already beaten...I really wish they could find a way to get all figures (even if limited) in the first 60 days of release.

Especially if they keep up releasing variants before regular versions this year. With his being an Easter/Spring variant, do that calendar math...

I was thinking of preording him just in case, and maybe the variant.

He's not gonna be as bad as Wham Shell. There hasn't been a character that unavailable since him.

^Is she bad?

Well, Nightfall will be availible one day.

Nightfall might be this year's Scratch/Ninjini/Echo - amazing to use as it gets but also rare. But dunno,maybe they'll break tradition for once and we'll have our air juggler avaliable for all.

Not too many people own her, but the paths are on the guide. I won't go into detail but her thing seems to be air juggling,which if Knight Light and others are any standard,is an amazing mechanic.

Which is exactly why my wife and I break up new gameplay over the course of the entire run of each game, until the final wave of characters is released.

Is this a reversal of your opinion? Because when I said something similar in another thread (albeit referencing the Yawn Traps against Nightfall versus Wham Shell against Thrillipede), you responded:

Quote: Earth-Dragon

An actual skylander is a MUCH higher priority then a repetitive trap. Almost every store I've been to trying to do the initial hunts had dozens of water traps on the shelves. Some might order more, if they were able to move the overstock of water. Another dumb distribution move.

So...are all characters going to be high priority and seemingly guaranteed to come out, or are they going to be incredibly rare with some areas never receiving stock (ala the Yawn Traps and lots of areas with Wham Shell)?

It could be argued that tons of stock left on the pegs is what lead to the lack of availability of both the Yawn Traps and Wham Shell. If wave 1, 2, etc., SuperChargers stock doesn't move as Activision anticipates, we might have a very hard time finding later characters, if at all. Right?

Blackout and Spotlight have been in my area.
Otherwise that's accurate.

Why does my DK have way more health than Bowser? I got them both to 20, DK has 1160 and Bowser has 890. Both stats say they got +50 health from somwhere. Have I gotten something in-game I don't remember that's buffed DK' health or does he just naturally have more health than Bowser for some reason...

Regarding health for this game, its back to VV's way where you get 1/10th starting health every level (2/10 when you reach 10th and 20th). The bonus of 50 health is when you have that character's vehicle on the portal as well.

Ive never seen Blackout or Spotlight. Really wish I could find Blackout! Hes my favorite character of all time!

Ah cool, I didn't know that. Still doesn't explain why DK's health is so much higher than Bowser's though when neither of them have any stat boosts except for the +50. It seems odd for DK to have nearly 300 health more than Bowser. If anything you'd expect Bowser to be the one with more health.

I got Blackout for my Birthday from my elder sister.

The problem with the console racing is that they didn't give it much depth or content because it's only part of the game, but they decided to make it the end-game content too. That's a really bad combination of design choices.

Someone put Wolfgang Boss fight footage up... But no music, like the guy does to all the racing pack footage in his channel for no good reason. Not that I'm a hurry this time(the Sea Racing stuff shows that the songs never change from default), but those looking for his cutscene, it's not in full there.

I think I replied to a similar post of yours a while back, but I'm pretty sure that the reason the music is turned off is to prevent that channel from getting a copyright strike, whether real or by accident. A lot of the bots that scan for copyrighted materials will automatically throw strikes out and pull down content if they recognize the music going on in the clip, even if the publisher is ok with it being played. I think we're going to start seeing more and more of this going forward, unfortunately.

Possibly, but I've seen contentID hit for notes that kinda sound like a known song. Removing the soundtrack but posting anyway will just make people not watch it at all, even if dealing with a strike is a huge hassle.

Well, if they get three strikes, their channel is completely dead. So is it better to risk a bit of lighter traffic on a video (that apparently some people are watching) or risk having your channel shut down and losing that source of revenue/outlet for expression/etc.? I'd go the safe route too, personally.

-Doug

Well, a DMCA claim is an issue, I mean ContentID claiming because 'obviously shady ccompany' thinks it sounds like this song that can't be found anywhere on the 'net. Either way, hopefully someone will post the rest soon.

Don't know if this is new, but Amazon have the Pre-Order of the Triple Pack #1, releasing October 4.

Hmm...ok now i can believe that one is real.

Hm... Red and white. Definitely a Christmas Variant.

Kinda the the color i figured they would make him.

Is the game timeline really confusing? The whole game "taking place before Trap Team" misinformation got hold of another big skytuber, but at least most fans know the truth and try to explain it to him.

I hope not Thrillipede is the one I'm most looking forward to now. I remember how difficult Wham-Shell was to get for me I luckily got him.

> tfw sf is so much better and not above it

Honestly, I'm surprised it's only ONE point lower than Superchargers... I know it has fans, but that one was a bit more polarizing... Apparently, ruining the franchise in A NUMBER of areas, created only SLIGHTLY less haters than adding vehicles, which is... understandable (he says with teeth gritted in anger)
This time, it's not about developers, it's about genre...

The legion of newcomers wasn't as big,regardless of better or worse.

I don't go to Facebook, so can someone tell me what this says?

SkylandersGame removed the Facebook post on Nightfall, probably because they were notified via comments on how she isn't available in most areas due to her bug.

Yes, he recently said in a video that SuperChargers "was a prequel".

It makes me wonder if some youtubers simply play the games just to be playing it, therefore not researching on the series and what happens in-between.

You'd be surprised at how many will refuse to do the research for anything. Do I even need to bring up IrateGamer,which Acti still somehow tolerates?
Some also will just buy the game at the request of viewers and play the same day without any previous knowledge then complain when they're lost in the plot, but those are waaay too many examples and too many LPers I gave up watching to mention.

*cough* darksydephil *cough*

*knocks on wood at the thought of that guy or Egoraptor playing this game*

Back on topic,did the Nightfall post even have anything relevant, or just 'she's dark and dangerous and comes out soon I think?'
