Let's put it this way, Superchargers is more cash friendly than Trap Team.


That's not correct as it is.

SuperChargers is most likely cheaper if you want to get everything.
Otherwise the price for new characters, Racing Action Packs and vehicles isn't that different from Trap Team, it's actually pricier.

Hight Volt's backstory:
High Volt was once a commander of a special security force that was in charge of patrolling the border of Skylands and the mysterious uncharted region known as the Outlands. From atop the Shockspire tower, their security headquarters, High Volt vigilantly monitored any strange activity beyond the border, knowing that Kaos and his minions were up to no good. Over the years, he had defended Skylands from countless Greeble attacks, Troll uprisings, and even a few evil food chains that were attempting to expand. But on a recent patrol mission into the Outlands, High Volt discovered a heavily guarded construction site, where Kaos' minions appeared to be building a colossal Doom Station of Ultimate Destruction! Realizing at once that all of skylines was in danger, he raced to the Skylanders Academy to inform Master Eon and joined the Skylanders in their fight to stop it!

Ok now that adds up a LOT of plot. High Volt alone did more than half the cast already. And wow, we actually have a bit of geography confirmed now that the Outlands are actually part of the story again: Underworld for the far depths, Skyhighlands for the far top, Skylands for the regular center, Outlands for the ends of it.

Comic spoilers:
ye strangely enough, he doesn't show up in the comic at all and by the end, the Skylanders heard him boasting about it. So I have to assume that the Skylanders must already know about it, and therefore isn't much of a warning.

Then yes you are right and you are also right about SuperChargers requirement to get 100% that's undeniable.

Unless you also consider the SuperCharger Quests as 100% material, of course... smilie

Anyway regarding High Volt's backstory:
I think he might actually be the first Skylander ever to self recruit himself.
Somehow I picture him running towards the Academy inside his heavy armor, reaching Eon and saying: "*uffff*... No time to... *pant*... Explain... Get the Skylanders together... *anf*... NOW!"

Hilarious. smilie

I also remember the prequel comic should take place in a "mysterious and uncharted" region...
Maybe they were talking about the Outlands and High Volt will actually play an important role in the issue by warning everyone about the imminent danger effectively becoming the first true SuperCharger.

I just imagine the Skylanders wondering why the heck did this high-ranking guard need an excuse to join them when he could've just asked in a normal day.

Drobot recruited himself as well,Drek.

Absolutely removed that, somehow.

I didn't thought High Volt's backstory would have been that much interesting...
It may very easily be the "connection" between Trap Team and SuperChargers' events!
If only all the backstories could add even half of this to the exsisting lore...

At least this is even more, canon, proof that David A. Rodriguez got the lore. In SF it really felt unfamiliar and just adding new things; but now even new things just tie into something without feeling shoehorned. As I said before, it really only takes him being given something he can work properly with for this game's story to go places.

He looks a bit too short for a bulky character; that might end up with some weird animations. I guess they were trying to set him apart from Slam Bam but they might've gone overboard.

No tweets from David or Ron Marz about the comic. So close to delicious plot and continuity yet so far.

When you hit an enemy for the first time since their last attack animation the will get stunned and undergo a secondary animation. Very useful to SF's strategy
If they removed it in this game I think I'll cry

Yep, flinch is gone I think
That was one of two problems with TT and now SuperChargers is screwed up too. I hate everything

As long as smilie can go back to scooping the majority of enemies like he did in Swap Force, then I can forgive the games' mechanics. I do feel sorry for smilie though as he may never be as good as he was in Swap Force.

Actually I don't think they used SWAP Force's graphics.
They are actually much better and look like a seemingly perfect cross between SWAP Force's and Trap Team's.

The style is still V.V.'s (even if they managed to improve it too) but at least we don't have the same claymation feel as before, there are multiple types of metal and different textures are used for different materials.

Definitely an improvement from their last game.

I hate claymation looks. I think that's why I didnt like SWAP Force too much, one of the reasons anyway. The SueprChargers Trailer both the first one ad the second one, I love how the characters are in the real world! Can't wait for games to be like that! smilie Maybe even use the Oculus rift to play Skylanders sounds awesome.

I can barely notice a difference between SF and SC's graphics. If anything, SC's seems to have less colourful lighting but more polished models, though it definitely doesn't look like the result of a game engine change. Either way, I'm not picky about graphics.

I just hope KMs are still important. That they removed flinch makes me a bit worried they wanted to make it less important. That would be a huge mistake to me, because KMs are my favourite part of SF and after analysing them, encouraged me to critique games (which gave me another appreciation for the medium). They've got a special place in my heart, because of how they influenced me and how much time I've spent and still spend messing around with them.

SF's fighting physics.

IDK how it'll affect Dune Bug since I don't use him tbh (he's one of those characters I really wish was better).

The TFB games have their own fighting physics with different knockback, but they're much more limited in that there are less types of knockback and the way those games are balanced (enemies it doesn't affect are more frequent and there are less knockback options in general), knockback is near-useless for the majority of characters.


I looked back at pre-release SF stuff and that didn't have noticable knock mechanics so maybe they are back?

In app purchases? Are they going with the notion that all of your characters can all be instant? Slippery slope...I can see customers demanding this for the console games...

You can also see a sideways chest with a skull and a dynamite symbol - you could say it's a treasure chest but it looks nothing like the ones we've seen.

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to this game. To me it's the most promising out of all the entries, and its done enough to actually get me hyped for it. In the aftermath of me playing Trap Team, I thought that if Skylanders 5 didn't look promising enough, I would just ditch it. Thankfully that's not the case, since I'm definitely going to be buying the Wii U starter pack(plus a loose Spitfire + Hot Streak if possible), though I'll most likely wait for a while since the games tend to go on sale for decent discounts not long after the game is released from what I've seen.

Well,on SF's story, I put my thoughts on the top of the page. If anything, David Rodriguez learned from the childish stuff and actually knows how to do serious but child-friendly now. We just need Rift into Overdrive (which is out,but physical only) now to have an idea of the mood before release - the previews seem to be going for foreboding but still lighthearted,but that's before the disaster.

From what I can tell David is an experienced writer, but when he wrote for SF, he thought it had to be childish all the time. Clearly (Maybe by Acti, VV or Tfsmilie he was told "Oh you can make it darker and more serious. That's what we want, so it can appeal to everyone." And as a result, decided to make it that way. SSC is very promising and with David writing the comics and them being written surprisingly well (Like, pretty damn great) I'm sure it'll be awesome!

Likewise, I want TfB to learn from THEIR mistakes--more like a lack of progress. I agree the franchise has a ton of potential and they look too afraid to re-invent themselves...but it's time.
