You forgot Tri-Tip and the Air Sensei from the reveal trailer, (Wild Storm) so they have to be Tech & Magic.

Which are conveniently the elements that everyone thought they'd be if not Light and Dark... Hmm...

Water is the squid girl and please don't double post.

What? Who brought Water into this conversation?
I didn't double post
You're just tired.
And hallucinating.
That post doesn't exist and never has.

I'm pretty sure Light and Dark will have the same amount of Skylanders (3 Light, 3 Dark) this time.

You can't fool me!

Well, we know two elements are taking a hit.
If not light and dark, than who?

I don't play like that. I edit my posts when I have something else to say.
Case in point

Actually, if we can have Senseis with the "wrong" weapons, Chompy Mage could be anything. Stick a bazooka on the staff, or a punching glove,heck just leave it as it is for Smasher. The only unlikely class left is Knight, because it'd be too long range on a stick and that'd look like Sentinel.

I just realised, with Cortex being a Sorcerer, then either Mysticat or Pit Boss can't be a Sorcerer.
I also think the leaked "Light & Dark" characters are scrapped.

That depends if guest stars count, and it doesn't seem like they do. Remember that Crash unlocks the same Secret Technique as King Pen, so he's an extra.

What do you mean "taking a hit"? If you mean having less Skylanders, then I don't think any Element will have less than 3 Skylanders. We still haven't seen the full poster. We've only seen leaks of most of the currently known Skylanders right now, and it's almost certainly a complete coincidence that we haven't seen 30 Skylanders yet. We've never had a complete list of Skylanders by this point IIRC.

And I am certain that the white Archer is not Tech. He also has glowing eyes and is mostly white, and has no Tech parts from what we've seen.

Although the other Archer could be Magic, I still think he's more likely to be Dark because of how his face is hidden and he also has glowing eyes. So if the white Archer is Light, then the other Archer is also Dark.

Huh, Neo Gaf did something right for a change! That's neat... Cortex looks pretty cool! A Tech sorcerer with a gun is pretty weird but I'll buy it!

not up to date but target.com has the Crash edition picture on their site now.
I'm still waiting to know where I will be able to preorder to get kaos. I'm crossing my fingers that anyplace we preorder we get Kaos , I want my Crash edition with Kaos. But I'm expecting toysrus.

Guest characters don't count for their Elements, but they do count for Classes since they replace the second Light & Darklanders.

If they do. How many times do I need to remind you guys shouldn't be trying to figure out everything from a blurry, darkened and WIP according to SS16 posters?! Have some patience until we see the real deal to be mourning for Dark and Light characters.

Where can you pre order the crash edition again? I'm going to pre order it so I can get Kaos

I think you can pre-order it pretty much anywhere they're selling the game. I saw it as a pre-order option on Amazon, and usually that means you can also pre-order it in most major retailers.
I think, anyway.

Oh. Cortex is a Sorcerer. I thought we would get more today lol.

Ok, I heard it was a TRU exclusive starter pack.

The thing is, 2 elements are taking a hit. It may not be confirmed that the elements in question are light and dark, but the only thing that poster YOU enlarged and saturated that we could ACTUALLY make out was the distribution, as each figure was a darker smudge on that poster.

We can deduce then, that the 30 character roster has 2 elements with 4, and 2 elements with 2
The two elements with 4 might as well be tech and life, but... Apart from light and dark, all the other elements have 3 characters confirmed or leaked EXCEPT magic, so it really must be light and dark.

But that's still not confirmation.
Bionichute once suggested that they could also be categorizing figures on the poster by their battle class, not their element. Meaning we could be getting four Brawlers and Sorcerers (including Crash and Cortex) and say, two Smashers (since there was only Chopscotch and Tri-Tip on that leaked early build) and whatever other class gets left out.
I agree that Light and Dark is probably more likely, but we won't know until we know. You know?

Guys, stop arguing on something we barely have any proof over... PLEASE!

On a completely unrelated note, MySkylanders will be at Gamescom today getting all the gameplay and footage from Skylanders Imaginators. Judging by the way the post is phrased, it seems like we'll be getting all the news tomorrow (that is of course if nothing gets leaked today)

Oh yeah, and something that crossed my mind yesterday but I was too hype to think about.
Both Crash and Dark Edition had covered starter pack pictures. Now that we know that was to prevent leaks on Crash; I think we can be pretty sure that the Dark Edition we saw in one of the italian SkylandersGame pages is the real deal, chest and all.

Which poster? I don't remember seeing any posters, I probably missed it.

It was a picture from SS16. It was super blurry and you can barely make out anything

I think the row below the logo is Cortex, Crash, and Kaos

The marketing team at SS16 also told people taking pictutes the poster was WIP and they covered the back because of it, but doesn't look like anyone here listened.

I don't think that poster indicates that two Elements will have less. For all we know, they could be anything from Imaginite Chests to a new set of Minis.

Also, I found this post on Instagram, but I can't find anything to back it up.

The post claims that the Tech Swashbuckler is named Psycord and the Light Archer is Leaprachaun

Again, I found nothing backing this up but I thought it'd be interesting to share.

Cortex as a Sorcerer is pretty neat. Not expected, but still neat.

Hey look, another picture of an Imaginator providing hardly any new information on the game!

He's actually right! It is Kaos! OMG!

Ermergerd that packaging. They took good advantage of the higher price, it's pretty much a shorter Elite box.

Weird that Kaos got new artwork that doesn't match his figure when the old one does.

"Behold My Catchphrase Of Doom!"

I suppose this Kaos figure really is a thing...

Leaprachaun and Psycord arent bad names in my opinion. If we have names like Ember its entirely possible

Also, I love Kaos' catchphrase, "Behold My Catchphrase of Doom!" I find that hilarious

Reveal Spoiler

Nah, it's Kaos! Artwork, packaging (with catch phrase), and toy with logo: no class, rather the Kaos logo! So he will be a preorder bonus in the USA, at least at Target. Nowhere is the word "exclusive" shown, so fingers crossed.
http://www.target.com/p/skylan...-u/-/A-51265186

Ok, the packaging is awesome, I hope all senseis have that type of package.

I wonder what Leaprachaun is a pun of...

Oh, good packaging. Hope all of them look like that.

And all this a day before Gamescom!

"Behold my catchphrase of doom!"
Best catchphrase ever 11/10.

Also Kaos class confirmed.
...Does anyone else think we might be able to make Kaos class Imaginators after placing Kaos on the portal?

Isn't myskylanders supposed to have news from gamescom today? It's already like 7:20 in Germany

His catchphrase is clearly the best one in the entire series.

Pretty exciting stuff. I love the box. Definitely gonna pre order the game from Target now.

Maybe you can choose his class, or I don't know...

Well, for some reason they shown the Single Pack retail price on the side of Kaos. Maybe this means that he will be released separately, but they want to feature that he's free with the pre-order.

Kaos has his own element. Do you really think they wouldn't go as far as giving him his own class?

Still waiting for the character that says "Everything I say is a catchphrase!". I almost bust a gut when I heard Beowulf say that on Skullgirls, and it's true for characters on both.

Kaos always used blue fire, just never in the games for some reason. Artwork, promotional stuff and books only.
