Suicide isn't funny PwnageFTW, do tone it down.

They said the winners of the contest are getting a figure, and the contest's going on right now. US only of course. Anyone wants my tips on character design so we don't get the same weird stuff as Drawlanders at the start of the year?

it was just a joke it's not like the lock imp is actually dead jeez.

I assume the same basics apply to this game....ALL your current figures, traps, vehicles, items, etc can be used?

Only just noticed that there will be no iOS version this year. That's a pretty big body blow to full console experiences on mobile devices. It seems that no-one actually wants that even though they can have it.

Nothing mentioned about Magic Items I think.

Also, settling down a little... Man, Reiche leaves D&D but the D&D doesn't leave him, every game he has to reference something from it. Just a fun fact, and really happy with his interviews and his note on focusing on the lore this time.

I just took out out my SSF and compared it to some Skylanders and the SI figures are far from being as big as Giants. Tri-Tip and King Pen are about the same size as a Swapper (I assume they will be as big as Wash Buckler/Grilla Drilla/Night Shift) and Golden Queen seems to be a little taller than Rattle Shake (I assume she's as big as Enigma or maybe even Gearshift excluding the crown and with it, Krypt King is my best guess).

Any words on the leve system and the hub?
I'm kinda expecting the Academy, because TV series, but they might surprise us.

Also... Wolfgang.
YES!

I'm starting to think there are only 10 villains, since I already heard that number in a couple interviews.
The guest-star must be part of that 10 or 20 count then, if it exsists (and I hope not).

Anyway, really glad Senseis aren't as big as I thought.
I'd say they are bigger instead of taller, compared to the Swappers, kinda like the majority of the Trap Masters.

We don't even know if there will be guest stars yet, but even though the Wii U pack is confirmed no skymiibos, I'm still hoping for Kirby

wolfgang is cool and all, but i would've preferred hood sickle.

*holds up flame shield*

There's one thing that's kind of bothering me; will every imaginator in each battle class be the same? For example, will a Fire Smasher have the same attacks as a Water Smasher but with different aesthetics, or will the battle classes have different upgrades in each element? I'm thinking they'll be different in some ways since the Fire Smasher in the London event video is seen creating a trail of fire with his axe, but I'm still worried these attacks will be reskinned for each element.

I just noticed that the Light and Dark elements are finally part of the Skylanders logo, but they're so tiny... :L

I think Lou said somewhere that you can create a fire ninja and a water ninja and they would be totally different. I just hope that's true.

Oh well, good thing is we prob don't HAVE to get characters we don't want. Although I'm kinda stuck with Queen.

I sooooo want a Malefor guest star.

They showed several moveset options on the attack customization, plus the element and the weapon itself, so variety we'll have plenty of.

*Whew* Just made it through all the new info. And sadly it's not looking good.

Character creation all but confirmed to be a VV-lander creator. Everything's got a weapon and everything's humanoid, or at least semi-humanoid. I spy Spyro's horns (on the first guy revealed) and Scratch's wings (in the trailer) so that adds insult to injury.

On the less-bad side of things, so far the only gated content we see involves upgrades for the customizable character. If that's the case, since I don't care to make VV-landers, the gated content has no effect on me.

Although I'm going into this with the default mindset that I have to find something that looks fun if nothing else does to get it, since base gameplay of Giants and Trap Team was boring at best, frustrating at worst. And so far, it's doing nothing for me. We'll see as more is revealed, but my chances of getting it are at an all-time low. At least Giants and Trap Team had cores I liked!

I almost forgot about Hood Sickle. I would've liked a figure of him too. He's so underappreciated.

I think it'll be possible to customize their movesets, or at the very least give their attacks unique effects or attributes.
Maybe one you place a Sensei on the portal you can access their moves for custom characters of the same battle type?

But.... can we change weapon?

Yes. In a video, the Imaginator switched from using an axe to a guitar

The weapons appear to have different attack stats too; the guitar weapon adds 16 attack power.

He says it at about two minutes in the video.
Was worried about that as well... Looks like I will have to buy the remaining 9 Crystals.

I wouldn't call them VV-landers, more of a compromise. If VV did this, we'd be looking at only changing body size, not individual parts, as in make a character without a triangle chest, giant hands and stubby legs. It's not as varied as we wanted to but it still has plenty of room for creativity.

Also you can make giant women, or make guys wear tank tops. That'd be definately asking too much from VV.

I think there may be possibly beastial characters that you can make, all things considered. Like a bipedal dragon. I really hope the old character unlock stuff, since there seems to be some parts from old characters.

Anyone else gonna totally ignore those symbols on their bases, or have I just not seen anyone talk about them...

everybody's complaining about no quads and i'm like "HELLOOO fire kraken existed AND HE'S STILL A DRAGEN"

but in all seriousness the creator looks dope- I CAN FINALLY MAKE THE LEGIT SCUBA DIVER I'VE ALWAYS WANTED

This game definitely looks like a step in the right direction for TfB and V.V to eventually work together on a game. Imagine... VV's gimmick ideas mixed with TfB's character design, VV's level length/checkpoints mixed with TfB's level design, and both of their story ideas mixed together!

They represent their battle classes.

The symbols signify Battle Class. GQ's symbol is the Sorcerer symbol, King Pen's is the... Knight? If I'm correct?

Ah, ok.. I never noticed them until now XD

Dose anyone have a link to where the Skylanders drawlings contest is? I want to submit my design for a new Skylander. I saw a link earlier but it didn't take me to it.

That's just the Swap Force gimmicklanders though. With the exception of Scratch, Pop Thorn, Slobber Tooth and maybe Wind-up, all the characters introduced in Swap Force and Superchargers look to be createable in this engine, so long as you have the right parts. There's a lot more variety, especially counting the likes of Dive-Clops and Smash Hit. It's just that nearly everyone has a weapon, and aside from the ones mentioned above, they all are at least semi-humanoid.

Compare TFB who have a complete set of dragons(plus a few more), a griffin, two dogs, a horse, a couple of two-in-one characters, plus some bipeds who have creative uses of design, such as Prism Break, Chopper, and Tread Head. You won't be able to make THOSE in this engine.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that worries me too.

I don't remember where I found the link, but it was on a pdf on the official site with the rules.

Again, willing to offer help on polishing a design, though obv as the rule of no other people's work I won't draw anything. Just helping with the concept, lore, what moves look nice,etc.

What are all 10 Battle Classes again? I feel like that should be in the Everything We Know thread, but it isn't.

I think that is Tri-Tip who is the Knight. I think King Pen is a Brawler.

Oh my gosh, the hype is consuming me.

Anyone knows a good place to see all information besides the everything we know topic? Or it is the best place?
