Wait, you're rebuying them? Can't you just take the ones you have in your collection?

So we are voting on a giant that we will not be able to see gameplay? I guess I vote for Ninjini then.

Ninjini

I highly suggest that you use the classic Giant, Tree Rex .

Oh... I see! Keeping your collection in mint condition.

8. Will older skylanders (SSA, Giants) be as good as they were in the first two games?

We need to know this. Several characters were majorly burnt in the transition to higher health and some unnecessarily buffed. I mean, who wants a Stealth Elf healing 15 HPS?

Will the old adventure packs open leveled in trap team?
As for the giants, I vote for Eye-Brawl

I know that we all been asking the same question about the Traps used on the villains, but I just wanna to know exactly how many villains will the Traps hold.

They lied outright last time that they'd let speed scale for older characters. Even if Matteomax gets this answered it's not guaranteed without actually testing out the Giants a lot and some notoriously nerfed character speeds like Prism Break's.

One more question: Can we use the Gamepad only on the Wii U, similarly to Giants (I'm unsure if this feature was in SSF)?

The gamepad play feature was in swap force

i would like you to ask if kaos trap will be sold separately or is it only included in the dark edition.

Will the Kaos Trap be sold separately from the Dark Starter pack.

I'm surprised no one has asked this yet, but please ask if there will be a bank of some sort, so we can FINALLY be able to give money from characters that have a lot of money to characters that don't have a lot of money. And I vote for Thumpback

Sorry for the Necro but when ya goin' Matteo?

Hmm, that'd be a toughie, but I have that counted.

My question is what is the diameter of rocky rolls boulder

My question is what is the diameter of rocky rolls boulder

And circumference

have you thought about possibly taking some sidekicks to see if they work and what they do in the game. We visited TFB around this time last year. Thinking about taking the kids back again soon.

I'll definitely be taking a few of them there.

Also, ask abut the elemental gates and cores.

What extra modes (ie Bonus Missions) are returning?

What was the creative inspiration for Wolfgang?

Will the tablet version of Trap Team work on an Android Acer B1 710 tablet?

The list of compatible devices was noted with the press release.

Now that we know about the Mini Skylanders, could you ask about what they do? I know they can do everything that normal core characters can do, but what I want to know is if there is anything that the Minis can do that a core can't? Like accessing extra areas or something like that, for example.

Ask when we are getting a kangarat skylander.

can you take some sidekicks and get more mini gameplay and also if she is official by then where in the world did they get the idea for dreamcatcher and why is she air
(by the way dreamcatcher being air is based of the trap holder box

Yeah, bring a sidekick and verify that the info gets saved when removed and placed back on the portal.

Ask what the unknown element is all about, with the mystery Skylanders

Could you ask how many PVP arenas there will be and wether there will be any extra PVP modes again? The PVP in SF sucked...

1) Will Heroic Challenges return?
2) Will there be an option to fight an AI in PvP?
3) Will there be bonuses for the Villains and/or the Skylander depending on which trap you use (I think this might of already been answered)?

So I assume you'll be going soon?

Yes he will. he is going soon, less than a week actually.

- Will the cutscenes be fully skippable like in the first two games as opposed to being used as loading screens like in SF?

- This may or may not have already been confirmed, but will portal master ranks return?

- Will there be any new info about the 3DS version anytime soon?

It's been demonstrated on multiple demo videos that skipping scenes is not going to be a problem. VV got literally crucified on this point.

The cutscenes weren't a problem for most of them, but it was the talking that pissed alot of people off. (I look at you, Rufes!)

The intro scene at every level and at the hub were the primary offenders. Knowing you have quests that demand replay and forced re-viewing was cruel and unusual punishment.

^That was one of the reasons why I don't like Swap Force as much as the other games.

A needless tragedy, as I know they spent a lot of time building the game. I hope VV is fixing this in #5 by improving load times.

I talked to Lou about this. There are dialogues that are not skippable because they want the kids to know what they have to do. Sometimes kids were impatient, skipping every cutscene and dialogue and got stuck in the level. My experience in the two levels I played is, that it's not much different from swap force in the chapters. NPCs are explaining everything, even if you just have to activate a switch with a huge arrow above it.

Well, there are unskippable dialogues in the TFB games as well, but they're also in places that people could easily get stuck at without information (like the first time you speak to certain NPCs in SSA's hub). The only exception that comes to mind is that you can't skip Cali's lines during the end of a heroic challenge in Skylanders Giants, which is weird because she just makes variations of 'accept this reward'. It's not a problem if you have a few of those, the problem is having the beginning of levels repeat every time no matter how many times you played it.

I don't mind re-watching cutscenes in place of load screens in SF, purely because it's a nice way to not add loading screens (by the way- tap pause during them and they pause too), though I do wonder if having the cutscenes playing while it loaded made loading slower.
However, the unskippable cutscenes within levels is infuriating when you go to replay them... Considering they asked to add a camera pan to show you where to get a bomb in SF 3DS (source), I wouldn't be surprised if Acti are telling TFB/VV to add in completely unskippable dialogue too.

The other TFB games has these as well, but it's a non-issue in Giants because you can skip most of the skippable dialogue very fast and there's not much that's unskippable. It's more annoying in SA (though not as bad as it is in SF).

@myskylanders: BOOOOOO! They should at least get rid of those when replaying a chapter you've already gotten a star on.

I've been wondering for a while, but it's impossible to tell- is skipping dialogue faster (like Giants) or as slow as SF?
