It's an article repost. Here's the original.

So I found this gem from a few years ago
Quote: Blink182Bouncer

GUYS. Why does everyone love Vicarious Visions Gameplay? I applaud them for introducing jumping but everything else sucked. Like I say the character attacks for old skylanders are TOO SLOW and the enemies are way faster than them. The only other good thing they did was introduce a better difficulty system.

Funny thing is, Swap Force ended up being my favorite game. I think I wasn't fully understanding the strategy to that game. But the funny thing is, TFB seems to be adopting many traits from that game into Imaginators. It's really interesting. You know I do love both developers, but (Especially in Trap Team) in TFB games some characters are overpowered, (To The Point of no use) and some are underpowered. Example Hoot Loop is practically unusable in TT. He has no attack that does more than 60 damage. Meanwhile Voodood and Wildfire have no attacks that do under 60. I'm really hoping they rebalance everything for Imaginators. They already did well by intoducing knock mechanics.

Based on some of the gameplay I've seen, I believe in TSBAG video, Golden Queen's most powerful attack was doing 33 damage, I think. So maybe they are more balanced.

Her special, which should be the most damaging move they should have was also doing 12 per scarab per second, so they finally dropped the obsession with 100-damage attacks.

Honestly, I liked the fact that 100 damage was perfectly normal in TT. It was so satisfying to just destroy all enemies with Gearshift's ranged attack and do 130 damage with her hoop spin. Superchargers ruined a lot of characters, like Enigma. God playing with him was basically suicide. He moved slow and his attacks were weaker than weak. I hope Imaginators isn't over the top but still makes strong attacks do 100 damage. (make Hex and Echo great again!)

That's the point,100 is a good strong attack value, 200 if you're using the riskier moves. TT's issue is that charge moves did 100, which made enemies have a thousand easily, which made bosses have over 30 thousand HP. That's where it got out of hand with Chef Pepper Jack and Traptanium Kaos being painfully long.

Unfortunatley I don't see the 100+ damage going away soon

That's probably for a stronger attack though.

That's the belly flop, right?

That was a combo axe swing

Guys, I just realized something... In TSBAG video, when the guitar is unlocked, it says "Requires level 4". This could mean that some customization options are actually limited...

I think it'll only go for the weapons and armor

Most likely the stronger the bigger the requirement. It's good incentive to keep editing your character without resetting to change classes as it's convenient.

All right, well that's better than what I thought.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this though, but aren't hats also supposed to be an option for customizing, or was that just speculation?

Hats are the Headgear option it seems. Someone mentioned the Desert Crown was on the list, so they can't wear every hat but most will probably be in there.

Lightening things up amongst this drama, funposting for Persona 5 can apply to Imaginators because of the VAs now.

Look I know I complain about gematsu but it's the little memery that makes it aaaalll worth it.

WHOOOA! HOLY CRAP!!!! THE LIFE GUY LOOKS SWEET!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love them ALL!!!!!!!

If anyone knows the samurai's Class, tell me plz!!!!

TREE-KEY!
FLAMURAI!
HYPE!
(God I hope that's their names now or boy will I feel stupid)
Oh and uh, Wolfgang. That's cool too, I guess.

Spotted on the official website by TheCreator on the game's page.

The website also has a non-functioning "Crash" tab next to "Standard Edition", "Dark Editon", and "Toys" (which shows the above picture).

OH BABY <3

BOI IT LIT!

SALT IS RAINING AS WE SPEAK!!!

So life guy is a knight and fire gal is a sentinel. Intriguing.

^ How do u know that?

Video watching. Those symbols on the front of the base stand for those classes.

They look great , the life knight is much better then expected. Also is the samurai a being of pure flame? Coz that's pretty awesome.

Also I love the engraving on these bases , the undead one especially being bat wings.

Wow that Fire Sensei girl is really good! I'm suddenly more interested in this game now. LOL Hope she's not like wave 3, 4 or 5 though. She seems like a Ninjini-like late release to me.

I think that the fire Sentinel might be the best Skylander Design I've EVER SEEN!!!!! Take my money Activision Designers!!!!!

Her being a legless fire elemental has certainly made me appreciate her a lot more.

The hype is back! All three of them will be a part of my collection. The Life Knight looks amazing, his figure looks so much better than that crappy artwork. And don't get me started on the Fire... girl. I adore her, even though she still looks exactly like Torch. I guess she'll be either like Night Shift/Bat Spin or Free Ranger hiding a pair of legs under the fire, but that's very unlikely. I hope they're all in Wave 1 or 2. Wait what am i talking about, Of course they're in Wave 1/2, they'd never release pictures of Wave 3/4 characters that early. Seems like this years day 1 one haul will be the biggest one and this is only the beginning D:

some proof



from the italian website. the crash tab is not fuctioning

It begins. Appropriate song for incoming salt reckoning.

Fire Sentinel is super cool, though I can't really tell what she is :U Snake or just fire legs.

WOHOOOO!
The Fire Sensei isn't another simple female humanoid!
And the Life ones is looking awesome, as well as Wolfie.

Really hoping for them to be shown at E3!

I just hope Crash is playable on all consoles ;~;

Let's als hope that this isn't the only Crash thing shown off at E3 or else a LOOOOOOOOT of people will be pissed

Are we sure it's Sentinel? That could easily fit with Ninja, in fact, the two blade things on the icon makes me pretty sure it's a Ninja.

Snooping around the source code gives nothing on Crash. HOWEVER, Inspecting element gives this:

Okay, that's weird...

I BLEEPIN' CALLED IT! The Fire one is a Sentinel and the Life one is a Knight! I bleeping called it!!!

Nah, I clicked from the news, it's just showing that's where I came from. It got me because it was under the html for selecting the Crash tab, but could be just Firefox being weird.

Look at the Battle Class insignia on the bases. You could tell their Classes by those.

Also, sorry for double posting.

Actually, nevermind. I was ninja'd.

But we've never actually SEEN what the Sentinel logo looks like. It's pure speculation right now.

Actually,we have, in the "Choose a Battle Class" menu. He's right - staff with an effect at each end.

Yeah, that's sentinel. Two videos (I'm sure there are others as well, like @sclmatt) that give it up front are the SBAG video with Lou talking. He shows all the classes and symbols as he scrolls through right at the beginning. Fire Fiesta has a good one too showing all of them in a graphic right at the beginning of his video on the classes. FYI for mods, I have no association with either of these, just posting these for info.

No, we have.
Let me get you the images for both Ninjas and Sentinels, just a moment.

Yes we have! I actually got them from SBAG's channel, during the demo. When Lou scrolled through all of the Battle Classes when creating a character, you could see what each symbol was.


EDIT: DO YOU GUYS HAVE TO NINJA ME?!

Erm, yes we did, in the selection screen where you choose your battle class...

Someone Earlier in the Chat told me that he saw those symbols and their class names on a video, Just after the image was posted

Guess I wasn't paying attention.

There you go.
