darkSpyro

im guessing that the dark imaginite crystal won't be in a single pack form in wave 1. They'll probably keep it exclusive to the dark starter pack for a bit. Unless they go all out and release 1 of each crystal element at launch, but I feel like they'll hold 1 or 2 back for a bit.

Which probably isn't a bad thing this year coz I feel I'm gonna have way too many creation options to handle straight off anyway lol.

I think I bought just one or two crystals and senseis ditto, because it will need a lot time to unlock all parts.

Also here's a newish undead brawler video I found. Nothing major but shows some decent brawler gameplay and has a decent play with the advanced colour schemes. Also there was barely any available parts except for heads in this video so it might be more representative of what we'll start out with in game ( not much lol ).

Also these first upgrades seem a little pricey so it might take a bit of effort to completely upgrade all paths on a crystal
Also I just noticed the "show base power" button on the upgrade screen that'll be a handy little feature

Well gee, I really hope we have a good money cheat this year because that sounds like a pain.

I kinda hope there isn't every creation crystal on day one, I mean, I kinda would at the same time, because I can just choose the ones I really want... (Undead, Dark, Light, Magic and Water) AKA the ones that will become very rare (aside from water), but I don't want to leave without everything on day one, but some of them will be really easy to get... maybe...

It's probably because they have less upgrades.

I don't mind the long yards in upgrades achievements , makes me feel like I've earned /achieved something. Plus I assume it'll be like all the past few games where upgrades get stupidly cheap once you beat the game.

Also in the levels we've seen, gold is the award again for mostly everything ( chests, selfless , gong battles etc ) so I don't think it'll be a big issue .

If I were you, I may or may not use the Hidden Treasure Chest to spot money to get those upgrades...

That is, if it has a function in the game, which I really hope it does, or maybe the Sky Diamond. Both were great magic items, helping you get money.

The entire "feature" is: Moving the stick up to go back to power select.

Technically, yes, it is handy, because it would suck to be stuck in a menu, but it's an extremely mundane feature, to the point of basically being a redundant tooltip.

I think he misunderstood it as "Base Damage". Also yeah, looks like we're only getting two upgrades per power.

I just went back to look at our reveal of Imaginators. That was a good day

I just went back to look at our reveal of Imaginators. That was a good day

I was home alone that morning and nearly had a heart attack when I woke up to see the name on the forum! Every time I read about a new feature, I screamed of excitement, especially the fact that vehicles weren't turning into traps again!

I found out about Imaginators in Art Class

I was on the computers looking for a Sparx image cause I was doing something related to Spyro, and my friend was asking about how many games there were, so I went on the forums to show him, then I saw the logo and almost screamed. My face was hilarious when I looked at my friend

I remember I was stuck in English class desperate to go to the bathroom so I could use my phone. My teacher chose the wrong day to have a really long-winded lecture on Arthur Miller...

Anyways, has anyone spotted anything news-worthy? I feel like we've gotten into the slump where there's no news for like a month. SDCC will have something won't it?

I would hope so... usually after reveal's I'm not that news-hungry, but the lack of news if really grinding my gears...

I go away for 2 - 3 days to prepare stuff for when I go to Summer Camp and I come back to see so much info

wtf

I checked the forums that morning and there wasn't any news, so I got up to get a snack and a glass of chocolate milk. When I came back the game had been leaked....

I think I said it myself. I was around to the picture leaks but thought we wouldn't see anything else that day, so I just had a break. 30 minutes too late to see the video leak and reveal.

I was actually DM'ed the leaked figure images on instagram that morning- so i posted them and it blew up. then TAGG goofed and we basked in his leaks!

Then all those fools from instagram tried to tell us to "forget it happened" but it was too late. what bozos!

I came home from a long day of school when I looked on the forum, and saw the game.

Cool. Brawlers use boxing techniques;great, considering how much I like Punch-Out.

They can use boxing techniques, it's one of two Primaries.

Boxer attacks are faster and lighter, with a 4-hit combo. Bruiser attacks are slower and heavier, with a 3-hit combo.

It really was!

My school was over at the perfect time that day. I went home when the first figures were leaked and then I spend the whole afternoon screaming and crying at the same time. I can't wait to do that all over again when the poster gets revealed/website gets updated.

So it looks like we have our first look at the Academy. Admittedly its only a corner and probably some outside are by the look of it, but the architecture is undoubtedly that of the Academy

Looks promisingly big!

Looking good so far! I have high hopes for the Academy this year!

"Day and Knight"
I freaking love the guys behind these puns.

Yep, it does look like it's in a vast area, maybe even bigger than in Trap Team.
Not crossing my fingers for The Ruins' size but I'm still hoping for something huge with lots of secrets and areas to explore.

I loved the Ruins. Still my favorite hub. Maybe it will be as big as Woodburrow? Woodburrow was friggin huge...

Anyway, I have high hopes for Comic Con this year. Before Comic Con last year, we got a leak of the back of the box, revealing Astroblast, Splat, Nightfall, BB Pop Fizz, Thrillipede, and LL Eruptor + Their Vehicles. I have hope that we will get the same thing this year (and we can see Light and Dark chars! )

Looks like a mix of the textures from TT and SC. I already see the metal-green was toned down a lot, which is great. Bluish gray always fit its mood better.

Actually... technically it's not our first look at the Academy. It's the second. Heres the first look:

Ehh, it looks alright so far. Still not really liking how we have the Academy for the third time now. Hopefully when we get a full view the idea will grow on me.

That knight weapon tho.

I love the way they can use the Academy so much in each game now, yet it always feels so different. I've loved the Academy since the moment it was shown for Trap Team. It feels so much more fitting for the skylanders to have a headquarters of some sort that changes with the times.

Yup, I really didn't feel the Academy in SC, but this time it actually does feel with purpose because of the game's focus on training new Skylanders.

Still miss Eon's Citadel though :C Seems like it's been abandoned or it's their vacation house at this point.

Well Eon IS a ghost... not like he can use it anymore.

I mean, in SC it was kind of modified into a moving base instead of an academy. It actually being an academy for once would be rad, hopefully there's actual classrooms you can visit.

Who else thinks that we'll get a characters reveal after they've showed an Imaginator for each class?
I'm kinda sick of the Academy, I loved it in Trap Team but there wasn't anything to explore in SC, so I hope it will get a massive expansion with lots of new stuff to explore.

I actually loved the SC Academy, it made me feel like it was years after Trap Team and it was getting old which was cool to me.

Does anyone remember when we found out how to get into the Mystery Gates in Trap Team and we found out about Spotlight and Blackout? That was so hype...

i personally think the sensei we saw is tech. I know the base looks a darker color, but that was a VERY SMALL photo. it could be anything for all we know.

but the color scheme is what gets me. Blue/gold has been used for sprocket, countdown, spy rise, wind-up, and high volt. all of which were tech characters

What I liked about the SC Academy was that it looked like it was being rebuilt from Malefor's attack still and it showed consistency.

I exploded when we found about them because they were so awesome

We'll all explode once the Yawn Traps are distributed...

I don't think you can use gold as an elemental identifier this year though, gold is gonna be on all the skylander senseis if King pen and ember ( has gold ninja stars all over ) , Tri tip and ambush are anything to go by. Also it's a really bright blue, So it doesn't really match those past tech designs.

That kind of looks like a short Skylander with a huge face. Probably a Dark Gremlin of the Ninja class. He looks to have the same body type as Pop Fizz or Trigger Happy.

That's pearlized green, Nightfall and Knight Mare's colors alright.

The comics used its old artwork for the first rebuilt Academy,though. This one is after the SECOND attack to the Academy, in Rift to Overdrive.

God please no, don't mess up Dark TFB! I would actually like the pearlized green used for Knight Mare & Blackout, as well as the shimmery white for Light.
