Overrated and Underrated characters [CLOSED]

1. In the first game (Xbox only), his tongue could pierce through enemies and hit multiple at a time, now he only hits one at a time. It annoys the hell out of me. Besides, the damage for the tongue is pathetic anyways.

2. The ball controls are even worse than before.

3. Sometimes, he skips enemies while belching.

Voodood is the quintessential underrated character. For one of the overall better characters in the entire game, he's barely even considered part of the roster anymore; even by Activision.

Overrated? Probably Trigger Happy. Sort of the inverse of the Voodood situation--a rubbish character sitting on a pedestal primarily because he came with the first game.

I think you mean Toys for Bob, not Activison. They were the ones who developed the game in he first place, Activision was only the publisher.

And Voodood underrated? He's fairly popular for one of the guys who didn't get reposes, in spite of his weird appearance (he looks a bit like a deformed..... monkey). I like him, but he's kind of boring to play sometimes cuz of how cheap he is, even seems more OP than smilie Double Trouble.

Voodood is underrated for 2 reasons.

1. He was not reposed.
2. Fans thought of him as ugly.

If he was reposed, we would have made a good riddance (KISS MY ***, WRECKING BAWL!) and he would be an S-Tier in the PVP thread.

Orbs= smilie orbs



Oh yeah? Well.......


Pop Fizz=

Green Alcohol bottles=smilie Fiery Remains

I doubt that smilie drinks that stuff.

Orange=Fanta

He's obviously on drugs, he totally drinks that stuff; especially Alcohol (green potions are my favorite ones to toss and drink).

Considering how he sometimes says "What happened?" or "What a rush!" when he shifts back to his normal form.

The Orange potions are a mix of hot sauce and beer (he breathes fire on the beast path if you drink that potion)

My top 5most underrated characters:

1. Lightning rod. Everybody says he is weak. If you say Lightning rod is weak the only possible reason for that is that you are an idiot, that's pretty much the only way, you're an idiot if you think he's weak. People often critique his design, I think that those people should shut the **** up, it is a great design.



Ummm excuse me, I hate lightning rod so that automatically makes me an idiot? He is weak, he's as ugly as sprocket (if not uglier) and is so unoriginal, Zeus, really? They should have scrapped him instead of warnado, because kids are not very appealed to him, everyone likes turtles, especially tornado controlling ones!

And I don't Sprocket is Ugly, but I do wish they did a better job with the toy design, her paint job is terrible (who's idea was it to paint her face golden anyway)?

I believe Lightning Rod and Whirlwind are both the ugliest out of all of them though.

smilie Underrated? Are you nuts (no offense)?

All I see is "Camo this, Camo that" from EVERYONE all the time, especially on Youtube. Yes a few people (like me) do hate him, but the reason is due to being so highly overrated, it's ridiculous?

He may be good, but he is far from underrated.

NO WAY! Bash and Trashwing are BOTH extremely overrated, and so is Pop Fizz.

Don't get me wrong; I like Pop Fizz, I really do. I just do not like him as much as many other people do, he's popular like crazy. He's really fun at first, but gets a little boring later, he's like a mix of characters that already exist. Same with Bash, I like him but he's too overpowered.

Trashwing is a bit lame.

That's Youtube, and mainly with people who don't have him.
And I have to agree that smilie and smilie are overrated though.

^ Well maybe somebody should've thought of that before doing the exact same thing, you've done it to me before as well sometimes.

And no, not just with people who don't have him. It's with almost everyone who has him, I should know because I paid more attention (no offense).

Me annoying? *long maniacal laughter* Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just getting started, this is far from over. FAR FROM IT!

For starters, I agree with all the overrated choices except for smilie and smilie

smilie's fanbase is very low and a lot of people hate him (like you as a prime example), how he can be overrated if he has a very small amount of fans.
smilie... His fanbase is just average..


Aside from Cruddy smilie (he's average, but I hate him for wasting cash on him because of his annoying fans), Trashwing is also overrated. Though not nearly as overrated as smilie por smilie (I still prefer Cynder over Trashwing anyday though), her fanbase is still far too big!

Sprocket's figure is just a wannabe ripoff of voodood's, who is a much better brawler, sprocket is the ugliest girl skylander in my opinion, not someone trigger happy would want to be with, whirlwind isn't ugly and she's not gorgeous, kinda in the middle for me, warnado Ftw! Lightning rod! Go back to mount Olympus because you suck in skylands!

She doesn't look like Voodood at all in the toys. I personally think Voodood's design is a bit worse (though he's an overall better character, but I still like both); while Sprocket looks like a human girl (if she's ugly, then I guess all of us humans are as well) with gold/yellow skin, Voodood looks like a deformed...... Green Orangutan. His design is a bit weird, almost as weird as Zook's. Maybe he'd look better if he wasn't wearing that Dragon Skull though.

I don't get why some people don't like Jet-Vac. I actually like him. Once you upgrade him, he turns out great. I upgraded him on his Blaster Path and It's seems good.
Hot Dog is WAY overrated. Yes he's good, but I mean everyone is in LOVE with him.

Probably because he sucks in PvP. Jet-Vac is very fun to play, but is terrible against other skylanders in the battle arena.

I really think Hex is underrated. She is just so much fun to play; she's got distance shooting, a great defensive move with the "wall of bones", and a cool skull storm attack that takes time to execute (time you can gain with careful placement of your wall). Definitely one of my favorites, but I don't see her talked about much...

The problem is I've never tried the PvP since I only have One Controller on my PS3 and Lost the other, and Meh :/

Almost everyone I know HATES Gill Grunt and he is highly overshadowed by the rest of them in terms of popularity, his fanbase is little to none.

Bash on the other hand has a really big fanbase (don't hate him, but still), he's overrated like all of the dragons (except Zap and Spyro).

I agree to some degree on Pop fizz being overrated. He has started to steal the spotlight from ma magic boys: Double Trouble, Voodood, and Wrecking ball.

I like the magic element as a whole, and they are definitely my favorites.

Double Trouble: Strongest character in game
Voodood: Underrated and very strong.
Wrecking ball: Extremely underrated and quite fun to play as.
Spyro: Still Spyro. Versatile character......on Blitz spyro.
Ninjini: Not as good as Eye brawl but hey-our only female giant!

But Popfizz has become the generic magic element favorite, from what I have noticed.
LightSpyro13 Blue Sparx Gems: 861
#87 Posted: 06:44:09 20/01/2013 | Topic Creator
I like the Magic element as well (except for smilie, he still sucks ass), but Water still is my fave.

Double Trouble: Not exactly the #1 Strongest ("You're Too slow!" -Sonic the Hedgehog) in the game, but seriously overpowered.

Voodood: A little overrated, but still extremely powerful and fun, slightly stronger than smilie in my opinion.

Wrecking Ball: Although I greatly despise him, he is a little underrated I will admit. I can see why no one likes him, interesting gameplay but EXTREMELY annoying to play with.

He's also a ripoff of Yoshi from Mario and Kirby, only he's a fat blue worm.

Spyro: Still Spyro and very fun

Ninjini: Not too excited, but looks fairly decent.

^ Sorry to sound so blunt to ask, but how new are you to the fanbase? Because all I see is "Camo this, Camo that" almost all the time, he's pretty much the only non-reposed skylander that is still talked about tremendously. I've seen like 43 fans of his, it's insane.

Yes a few people do hate him, but the reason is because of being so highly overrated. I have to disagree with you, Camo and Prism Break are both extremely overrated.

Did ya think about WHY they hate him? Yes I'm aware that some people to do not like him, but part of the reason is due to him being so highly overrated by lots of other people. I hate him mostly because of how immensely popular he is, I bought him BECAUSE of his fanbase and I wasn't impressed that much. he's average to me, but a big SCAM

Sprocket is also underrated, she may be hard to use, but if you're good you can make use of her.
Also, Spyro is overrated.

spyro? everyone i see that actually likes spyro is because he is spyro and everyone who judges gameplay thinks he is the worst however in my personal opinion i like spyro because he is a good character who can charge around and shoot fireballs and the best part is he gets the job done without taking much damage so as you can see i really like spyro
