I didn't expect PvP to be in anyway. It doesn't really look like it's going to return anytime soon.

Also, what vid does it say that there will be a semi-open world? I'd like to see who said it.

I think it was FamilyGamerTV. Not sure tough.

The baddies elements are even more messed up than they where in Trap Team.

Okay, here's my current prediction.

I believe Crash and Cortex will be included in the Battle Class lineup, so that makes it even. Here's what I think for everybody.

Brawler: King Pen, Air Strike, Crash Bandicoot
Smasher: Tri-Tip, Chopscotch, Pain-Yatta
Sorcerer: Mysticat, Golden Queen, Cortex
Knight: Ambush, Wild Storm, Blaster-Tron
Bowslinger: Hooded Dude, Tech Dude, Wolfgang
Sentinel: Ember, Barbella, Hood Sickle
Quickshot: Squid Girl, Krankcase, Chompy Mage
Ninja: Starcast, Boom Bloom, Tae Kwon Crow
Swashbuckler: Aurora, Bearded Dude, Bad Juju
Bazooker: Flarewolf, Pit Boss, Grave Clobber

We know Blaster-Tron is in it now, and we saw a Blaster-Tron sword a while back. I think that means he's definitely a Knight. That puts out Pain-Yatta's chance of being a Knight, and the only thing left for him is Smasher. That means only Bazooker and Quickshot are left for Pit Boss, Chompy Mage, and Grave Clobber. I don't think Grave Clobber could be a Quickshot over a Bazooker. Maybe Chompy Mage could be a Quickshot in the sense that he summons and fires Chompies from the end of his staff rapidly. This leaves Pit Boss with Bazooker. Although Pit Boss and Chompy Mage could be switched around, I suppose.

But nevertheless, I'm happy Blaster-Tron got in over Luminous. I absolutely love Blaster-Tron.

Chompy mage is a MAGE, if they were gonna stick him with another villain, it'd be in the sorcerer class.
He can't quickshot because he doesn't even dual wield whatever weapon he has, unless it's "barehanded magic"
Grave Clobber is the Grave CLOBBER.
He's empty handed according to Luminous. He could be a brawler.
It's in his name, it's in his design, if he was anything else, it'd make even less sense than becoming water. (assuming he still has no attacks that connect him to a specific element, or a new attack that connects him to his new one, he's fine in whatever imo, same as Tae)

Still possible that we're stuck with 4 Brawlers/Sorcerors, and 2 quickshots/bazookers, even with your new setup.

Non-skylanders don't have inherent elemental powers "coursing through their flesh", as SSA's lore would put it, I've heard Arbo say "if only I was a life element" in front of a Life Gate, and other such things, enough times to be sure of that, and the story scroll about skylanders in SSA specifically mentions elemental magic permeating their flesh or something,


Which (curiously) is what the Elder Elementals scroll said about the Elder Elementals, and the elements of Light and Darkness... (it literally described the Elder Elementals as Giant skylanders who were of the Light and/or Dark element) Elements which have been missing from skylands for a long time, much like the elder elementals, so...
I'd say it's Knight Light and Knight Mare that are the Elder Elementals, or the descendants of Elder elementals, rather than the Giants or the Ancient Elementals (who don't really match the story scroll in any way except a synonym of Elder, and the word Elemental, as well as being "giant")

Current guess


Red overlay=unconfirmed
Pure red=unknown

Made Knight and Smasher pure red, because I can't really tell if Blaster-Tron or Pain-Yatta are even there.

If Cortex' ray gun can simulate sorcery, Chompy Mage's sorcery can simulate a bazooka.

yep i was right, two unconfirmed skylanders


well okay i said less than 8 but thats still technically right

It Was Said In FamilyGamerTv's Video

Well, they could be fixed, depending on the point of view. But the issue is that they started in TT in a way, and two years were plenty for that to be what we identify them with.

Ironic that Blaster-Tron kept his element when he doesn't look like he fits.

Hopefully we can get a closeup of the display video soon. I saw flarewolf's figure in there.

Whoa... I just heard on CoinopTV's Livestream that you can't reset the Battle Class away. That's... not good.

I personally don't care all too much because I have my favorite classes that I'll use for each element but, yeah, that sucks!

Again, if that's a thing, we can't buy used Crystals, that's stupid as heck. There needs to be a full reset or they'll be even more useless than Traps in a few years.

So once the class choice is made, there is no way back.

Will have to see gameplay of all the classes before making a chooice then.

I'm still processing this... I can't even calm down I'm so mad.

I'm going to put this as the way I think is best way to look at it for those who don't get the villain they wanted. Would you rather get them in this game in which they could totally change and ruin the character or hold out for skylanders 7 and get a faithful figure? The villains are going to be popular sellers...

Now if we don't know about the body types until release, then they really messed it up for no reason.

You're implying we'd get any villains next year. VV made a track record of simply relying on the Core flagships over and over.

@juarmo

-We already have 3 Sorcerers.
-He doesn't need to dual wield. The weapons don't have to match up perfectly with the class, as shown by Cortex.
-We already have a Water Brawler, they wouldn't do two. He probably fires his hands like a bazooka, that would still be clobbering since he's hitting the enemies with his fists.

rip luminous

2014-2015

he will forever be missed

now it's party time

I feel you man, I got a similar feeling when angel was excluded from xmen legend roster.

I also wanted luminous tbh. I really don't get some of the villains choices.

I got chompy mage and blaster tron and tae kwon crow and hood sickle and kaos I am so happy

Yeah it would be pretty stupid if they sold pre-owned crystals in shops

And who knows, Luminous? Blaster-Tron could really be awesome!

If the light villain is blaster Tron after all I'm going to scream he was another one of my favorite villains from TT he was like my third favorite villain

So, there's a gameplay of one of the Crash Zones:

Hope so

You can't reset the Battle Class? That's not good at all, and really silly too. Now I'm afraid I'll pick Classes that I'll regret. But I see what they're trying to do, make you buy more.

here are my predictions

If I recall correctly, CoinOp didn't directly say you can't reset them. He first said he wasnt sure, then he said at this point just assume you can't reset the crystals just to be safe around younger siblings who could mess with them.

I'm torn on this game right now.
The new characters and the gimmick are perfect.
The way they handle the idea and most of the villains are crap.

Ah, right. Well I sure hope that's the case, as I don't feel like spending a lot on them at all.

Ok. GOOD! We have a chance for TFB not to screw this all up.

Oh, I think that's like the randomize button. An article said similar; you need to hold down the button for some time to prevent kids from clearing each other's stuff.

Also, is the character editor the same button we use to acess character stats? If not, it could simply be there.

You really CAN'T reset the Battle Classes. At the very start of the Gamescom demo, the guy hosting said that it was a FINAL DECISION. Your Battle Class and element will be LOCKED into the crystal. Everything beyond that is something you can change freely.

I actually feel like Chompy Mage might end up being a Brawler at this point.

They said the same about upgrade paths but you could reset them even back then. It's a final decision as in, "don't expect to just switch to a new one with all your stuff", since you have to unlock levels for Gear again.

Its weird cause i was sure there were to be a few new skylanders to come

I think it still says you can't change your mind about the upgrade paths even in Superchargers, or even if you're using a reprint.

Who knows when the Kaos figure is going to be released on its own?

Ok, yeah I might've jumped the gun a bit there. Whoops! Hopefully you can reset a Crystal's BC.

Quote: BatWolf

Day One, I believe (if you can buy it seperately at all).

No information for now. We don't even know if he will be released on his own at all.

According to Forbes, never!
And according to the press release (or some other source, idr), it's only a pre-order bonus in North America
In other words, (keybashedkey, brace yourself for a Re:Chain of Memories reference)
Europe and Australia!

actually there is a single box here



so good news, he will be!

im guessing around christmas time though or maybe early 2017? because it never said he was EXCLUSIVE to target pre-order it just said you get a free one

so thats pretty awesome

Guys... Mysticat has a beard!

Well, he is on his package, but that doesn't mean he's gonna get a single release.

I hope he is released separately eventually. Well, Kaos-related items generally are, but who knows? Maybe he will be released later, like Gearshift.

Someone also posted a link earlier about a single SI Kaos from Amazon Italy or Amazon from a country outside of USA. So most likely Kaos will be available without a pre-order.

I doubt Elites are coming either... I was so happy in the morning and now I just see the worst in everything.

yeah he could be but it would be a MAJOR surprise if he was wave 1
he is most likely the last wave though

Thank me later.
