BatWolf, you're pretty behind. I know it's hard to catch up with 7 pages but you can at least see the thumbnails of stuff that was already posted.

SodaPop, those names like Leaprachaun are already confirmed to be fake. Yroc showed up yesterday to deconfirm these as none of these characters are in Gamescon to begin with.

So hyped for dr krankcase too
also i think it was either luminous35 or periimeskylanders who predicted Kaos having all the battleclasses

This seems like a crazy coincidence, but did anyone else notice that Mysicat is a "Wampus Cat". Wampus Cats are generally depicted with 4 legs and 2 arms just like the character. What's even more interesting is that Wampus is one of the new American houses in the Fantastic Beasts movie coming out this fall. Are they sharing writers?

I love how you can hear Krankcase's theme and some Crash music during Krankcase's and Cortex' magic moments respectively. I never noticed that before. I guess it's because Golden Queen's theme sounds almost identical to the Sensei one and Wolfgang played on his guitar so I thought it was just him.
NOW GIVE AS DA JUJU!

When is the Gamespot stream? Is it possible we could get Tae Kwon Crow, Mysticat, Barbella, Air Strike and/or Aurora gameplay?

Probably not. Those streams are very straight forward in its information. It's nothing major usually.

UPDATE: i just watched a perimeskylanders video and apparently cortex is a 4th tech character (like crash is a 4th life) and is a bonus villain so good news we are still getting a light villain meaning we could possibly get luminous!

You mean like how Bowser and DK were "3rd fire" and "3rd life" characters but STILL took the spots of Light and Dark reposes on the 20 character roster?

There were no quadruped Superchargers, and the only Skylanders that could be chosen as Light and Dark reposed Superchargers were quadrupeds.

What weapons could they possibly use? Just have giant cannons on their backs? It would of looked really out of place. Light and Dark were still being introduced, too.

Guys in coinoptv's Kaos gameplay video at the end Kaos' upgrade screen is shown!

EDIT: His Krankcase video also shows the upgrade screen

wait, at the end does it show you can buy BOTH paths? if so thats EPIC!

That would be absolutely great.

Where did those pictures of Aurora, Barbella, Tae & Mysticat come from in the first place? Is it because they're Wave 1. Shouldn't there be gameplay?

They were pulled from the website when it updated recently. They weren't officially announced today.

DAYUM, that means I was completely right in my guess about his primary and secondary being close range and long range Battle Classes, respectively!

But, urgh, why didn't he hover over the Soul Gem and Sky-Chi? x.x

Quote: Zekrom Prime

There is an upgrade after the soul gem what is that?

The Sky-Chi. The picture shows his big head mode, which we know is his Sky-Chi move.

Oh really! Well where's the rest then?

There are no other ones available on the website. I personally can't grab Tae Kwon Crow, so no idea how people got a hold of that.

We already have two Dark characters confirmed, so that pretty much debunks that notion this time around.

Except that it doesn't
Superchargers promised 2 per element.
Imaginators promised 3.
Understand?
It's not debunked until we meet the quota, which in this case is 3.
Until a they confirm 1 more dark elemental or 2 more light elementals, that is simply not true.

Not to mention he called the Dark/Magic Bowslinger "Poop Shooter".

So Wave 1 has been confirmed.

-All Starter Packs
-Tri-Trip
-Ambush
-Ember
-Wolfgang
-Chopskotch
-Hood Sickle
-Starcast
-Air Strike w/ Adv Pack
-Aurora

I managed to find out some new details from this video. Some of it might already of been posted, though.

* New Sorcerer Technique: Summons a ring or Magic energy, similar to Double Trouble's Magic Bomb.
* New Tech Elemental Attack: Creates a turret that damages enemies.
* Rare equipment cannot be equiped until level 2 (I think it was level 2?).
* Brawler without a body. Possibly means that Ninjas can have bodies and Swordmasters could have legs.
* New Brawler Technique: Ranged attack that involves shooting energy from the hands.

I cannot see the Archers being anything other than Light and Dark. As I said, Light and Dark were being introduced in TT, and Spotlight and Blackout could not of been reposed because no Supercharger is a quadruped.

Brawler: King Pen, Air Strike, Chompy Mage (Crash Bandicoot)
Knight: Ambush, Wild Storm, Light Villain (Luminous)
Sentinel: Ember, Barbella, Hood Sickle
Bazooker: Flarewolf, Unknown Techlander, Grave Clobber
Sorcerer: Mysticat, Pit Boss, Golden Queen (Dr. Neo Cortex)
Swashbuckler: Aurora, Bearded Techlander, Bad Juju
Ninja: Starcast, Boom Bloom, Tae Kwon Crow
Bowslinger: Dark/Magiclander, Light/Techlander
Quickshot: Squid Girl, Unknown Magiclander, Dr. Krankcase
Smasher: Tri-Tip, Chopscotch, Pain-Yatta

If the two archers end up being Tech & Magic, we would only have two Bazookers and Quickshots. So I think this confirms that we'll be getting two new Light & Dark characters.

Hey guys, doesn't the premise of Kaos's Plot in Imaginators retcon the Premise of the final phase of Super Evil Kaos?
I mean, there, his ideas were bad, but because they were uncreative.
Here, his ideas are bad, but because they are legit "teh suk", his doomlanders are too outlandish to be considered anything other than... unique. (odd catchphrases, odd AND unattractive designs, etc.)

I personally think the Guest Stars will not be counted in the Elemental lineup, but they will be counted in the Battle Class lineup.

obviously im pretty behind though because i dont have time to read 231 pages, even if it is the summer holidays

EDIT: nvm you said 7 pages
ive only really been on here since the most recent 3 pages

It's just 7 pages behind this one, there's a redirect to new posts if you click the yellow dragon next to the thread(if you didn't click on the final page or refreshed the page with the thread).

Brawlers can do a hadouken? Alright, now I might be actually interested in making one.

Alright, made an updated version of the Battle Class list.

Of course, it'll probably go unnoticed anyways...

Chompy Mage has a staff not a bazooka I hate people say he is a bazooker or brawler

Can I just say that I love the fact that everyone in the Crash level is a dick to Cortex but at the same time Kaos gets as much respect as any other Skylander? I know Cortex is partially responsible for whatever happens in that level, but at the same time it makes me wonder if NPCs will have any dialogue specific to when you're playing as Kaos in the main levels.

Well excuse me. Then how could he have another class without another Villain ending up with a Battle Class that shares it with another Sensei of their element?

Except there's no reason to suspect that the battle classes won't/can't be shafted the same way as the elements.

The same way I applied the elemental situation to guest stars, I will now compare the guest vehicle terrain scenario to the possible scenario of Battle Classes.
You see, Barrel Blaster didn't count towards the total of "Land Vehicles", and Clown Cruiser didn't count towards the "Sky Vehicle" tally, the same way that their owners didn't count towards their respective element tally.

(Sea and Sky get 5 each [2 air/water, 2 life/magic, and 1 light/dark], Land gets 8 [2 fire, 2 earth, 2 tech, and 2 Undead])
See what i'm getting at?
Put the Nintendo vehicles on the tally, and sea/sky become unbalanced. Worse, land gets 1 extra as well, so, Sky is no closer to Land on the tally, and Land just leaves Sea further in the dust.

And since we've discovered that the way Secret techniques ACTUALLY work, we now know that there doesn't HAVE to be 3 Senseis per battle class, as formerly theorized. There need only exist AT LEAST one.
In case you hadn't noticed, the 2 Battle classes that get 4 characters with that setup happen to be Sorceror and Brawler.
The 2 elements that get 4 characters with that set up are likewise Life and Tech.
Which both correspond to, you guessed it Crash and Cortex.

This has only further supported my suspiscions about the roster.

TLDR:
In case you hadn't noticed, the 2 Battle classes that get 4 characters with that setup happen to be Sorceror and Brawler.
The 2 elements that get 4 characters with that set up are likewise Life and Tech.
Which both correspond to, you guessed it: Crash and Cortex

And furthermore, the "Light/Dark duo" would be shafted, as would the "gun duo", "Bazooker/Quickshot duo". Need I say more?

I totally called Hood Sickle having purple eyes in game.

It went from Red, to white, to pink, to orange, and now purple.

Whats up with his eye color changes.

So Wave 1 has been confirmed.

-All Starter Packs

-Starcast
-Air Strike w/ Adv Pack

Where was this confirmed?

Now we can see it, SodaPop.

Wow, they couldn't even let Hood Sickle keep his ghosts, they're just "dark remnants".

wait, where was wave 1 confirmed??

Quote: ZapNorris

wait, where was wave 1 confirmed??

I'm pretty sure everyone they had in packages were wave one

I just need to be able to preorder wave 1 and know the rest of the roster. Taking too long.

time for thoughts-

Starcast: his figure is BEAUTIFUL.

Aurora: her face is really... eh.

Hood Sickle: MY BOY IS BACK

Mysticat: HE'S A CAT CENTAUR THING WTF

Barbella: SHE'S A CRYSTAL GEM FOR GOD'S SAKE

Air Strike: HE HAS A BIRD, I LOVE IT

Krankcase: He's cool i guess

Tae Kwon Crow: HIS FIGURE LOOKS SO GOOD FAM

Maybe you already saw those, but here's HD and clean images of some figures:

Hood Sickle......what happened to your voice?

And I really hope we see TKC gamepla tomorrow.

To be fair, this is clone Kaos and clone Kaos never did anything bad to the Skylanders. It would be like blaming Solid Snake for the actions of Big Boss.

Quote: SodaPopHD

Crap, he's right. Except that it's stupid to shaft 2 battle classes just because 2 elements were.

I won't disagree with you about shafting 2 battle classes being stupid, but I just want everyone to entertain the possibility, but if you think by deleting it immediately, I won't see the post, you're sorely mistaken.
What's more, your post was short enough for me to memorize it's contents.

I'd be ecstatic to be proven wrong. Light and Dark are my favorite elements.
But, i'm a pessimist at heart.
I cling firmly to the belief that if you keep your expectations low, and do your best to anticipate the worst-case scenario, only to be disproven, reality will surprise you. In a good way. But if you always think about the ideals, the reality will crush you.
Expect the worst, and reality can only be better than you imagined.
Expect the best, and the truth can only be worse.
You see the bumps in the road coming, you can brace yourself for them.

This line-up is fine for the most part, except your sentinels are Ember, Barbella, and Bad Juju, despite it already being confirmed that Hood Sickle is the villain Sentinel and that Juju was leaked to be a Swashbuckler. Plus also the possibility that she might get an element switch like the other non-Doom Raider villains.
Still betting on Smasher Chompy Mage and Bazooker Grave Clobber.

So CoinOp is posting the gameplay for Starcast (I'm assuming that'll include his upgrade screen) soonish

Are we sure that this Starcast figure isn't the Legendary version? Those figures are always gold and metallic blue.

Why would they reveal the variant before the real figure...

I really see no other way of balancing the Battle Classes except with the predictions I made above.
