Is anyone going to play with Senseis when we have Imaginators?

Now that we've had a chance to digest some of the Imaginators news and footage I wonder who will honestly play the new Senseis lol. I can honestly say at this point that I will ONLY buy the Senseis to unlock the Battle Classes. The Customization system is so robust (I have a feeling that there's a lot we haven't seen) and I have so many ideas about what Skylanders I want to create that once I do I don't think I'll play anything else. I really have to wonder what they were thinking with so many options lol. Does anyone else feel this way? I honestly don't care about any of the Senseis compared to what I can create and play myself.

I was under the assumption that you need Sensei to teach new abilities and such to your Imaginators. In any case, I would definitely make use of the ones I'd have, especially if Toys for Bob was thoughtful enough to include special Sensei-only zones...

I think the general idea is that you don't have many imaginators customisation options until you've played through the game a bit . Looks and especially attack wise.

You need to find soul gems attacks in the game as well as elemental attacks and they probably have some more hidden attacks in the game too.

And remember these upgrades will probably be really rare to come acroSs.

So unless you just want to play an imaginators with basic attacks all through story mode you'll probably want to use the senseis.

Just think of the possible 300 hats alone you'll probably have to find before the good stuff appears.


My aim is to play through the game basically with just senseis first, and then start making characters properly with more/better options.

Why would I need Imaginators when they've revealed the objectively best Sensei (criteria being 'best looking in leather pants' and 'best taste in music', of course), as well as his Dark edition?

Joking aside, I'll be playing a mix of both.

I'm not going to get too attached to the Imaginators, as they might suffer the same fait as traps next game. Plus with Bowser, DK, Crash, Spyro, and pain-yatta I will be vary happy.

I plan to use both. Crash Bandicoot, Golden Queen, and Ember have all totally won me over. King Pen and Wolfgang also have me excited.


I'm hyped to play as the Imaginators, but that will never replace playing as actual characters with unique attributes and move sets designed specifically for them by professional game designers.

This is really my only real concern. Other than that I'm getting one Sensei of each Battle Class for the unlock. I'm more than happy playing with my old school Skylanders. Nothing I've seen from the Senseis has "Wow'd" me. Plus the challenge of playing a seemingly under-powered Skylander has a certain appeal to me. I think this will be the most important gimmick deserving of a carry over into future installments. They are actually Skylanders so they should be forward compatible.

Unless more Senseis are revealed that I like the look of, I only want this game for Crash Bandicoot, Wolfgang and maybe Ember. I haven't even decided whether I'm buying a crystal of every element or not yet.

I'll be playing with the Sensei's and the Villains, but also my Imaginators. Who wouldn't? I like the designs and attacks for all the characters so far.

Sure I am!

Imaginators are a great concept and will most likely provide me hours of fun (and that won't change even if Skylanders 7 won't fully support them) but they cannot be compared with "true" Skylanders designed and thought by a team of expert creators, with their own unique powers and personalities.

Skylanders, "official" ones, are what I love the most in this series.
I do hope to see more varied designs, the ones revealed so far are all pretty diverse humanoids but they are still humanoids.

I get the feeling that I'll be predominately playing with Senseis over Imaginators. Imaginators are great, but I'm so used to the freedom of a pen and paper that I'll probably not put much stock into my in-game creations and just stick to light-hearted experimenting. The potential lack of saving creations is certainly a factor in that! It probably doesn't help that one of my favourite things to explore when designing characters is different styles of locomotion (I adored analysing how bone and muscle structure determined movement in Zoology). That's pretty much the one thing we can't change with Imaginators, being restricted to bipedal walkers/floaters.

#17 Posted: 13:00:49 17/06/2016
My golden wife is in this game. MY GOLDEN WIFE IS IN THIS GAME AND YOU HAVE THE GULL TO ASK IF I'LL BE USING SENSEIS?

But in all seriousness, I certainly will. I mean, the Imaginators are definitely cool and I look forward to creating either my own Skylanders or other characters AS Skylanders, I still always enjoy seeing what kinds of characters these games can come up with and playing as my favorites.

At the end of the day, I think there will be some limitations to creating Imaginators, and I doubt they'll overshadow the Senseis. Especially since the Senseis seem to be an important part to them, with them increasing their level cap, unlocking new moves and gear, stuff like that.

Seriously now, the Imaginators are great and I can't wait to create my own characters... but that's about it. They can't be upgraded so they'll get boring very quickly. I'm not really too excited about playing as them but creating them, the Senseis are new Skylanders with Upgrades and overall an unique design, so I'll probably spend more thim playing as them while I enjoy creating new characters.

Huh? The Imaginators can actually upgrade their stats if you give them better gear so I'm not sure I understand. I wonder if they're tweaking the numbers again like they've done in previous games. I'll have to put what I know to be a powerful Skylander to get a stat reference and see if I can make an Imaginator with equal or better stats.

Most of these answers surprise me. I'm starting to develop an apathy for new Skylanders but was immediately interested in the ability to create and play as my own Skylander. For me, this changes the game. I think I'm a little disinterested because Trap Team really left a sour taste in my mouth when it required me to purchase Trap Masters I wasn't interested in if I wanted to access all areas of the game (I personally called them Key Masters). I loved most of the standard sized Skylanders from Trap Team but with the exception of Gearshift and Wallop the others were meh (in my opinion). I suppose it's still too early to pass judgment on the Senseis since we've only seen a few but at this point it's all Imaginators all the time for me.

There's a difference between stats and gameplay. Sure, Life Imaginator can be as strong as Ambush, but he wouldn't create as impressive as his upgraded circle of bamboo, or the awesome looking bamboo dash.
Some people wouldn't bat an eye because they mash their way into victory, but I really care about differing playstyles. It's a joy and a curse to be losing in Nightmare mode and have to readjust my entire streategy from a ranged to a speedster, etc, all in the 5 seconds you have to portal back. Kinda like doing things with your left(or right if you're left handed) hand for a day and noticing how good it feels to master it as well.

Hmm. None of the senseis really wow me so far. I mean, GQ and Ambush are pretty cool, but I really don't care much for the aesthetics of the others. I was Team Nintendo back when Crash was in his heyday, so I don't have much nostalgia for him...

And honestly, I've always been a sucker for anything with character creation/customization. I'm heartbroken that we'll need to make more of the upright characters who've dominated the roster lately, but even what they offer is more than enough to hook me.

I'm much more hyped about the imaginators than the senseis, but that being said, we've only seen about a third of the senseis, so I could still change my tune.

I think it's too early to tell/judge as to how unique the Imaginator move sets will be. We've only seen a few and we have already seen a move that no other Skylander has been able to do in the Sheep Morph move. That being said Imaginators can change move sets on the fly to cater to a situation...That's nuts. I personally like the challenge of not caring about stats and going for what looks cool (my current system for hats) assuming my skill will get the job done. I also like the aspect of being able to get better versions of the same weapon. That adds a since of progression that we've never had before. Hell you could make up all kinds of story/fluff background for your Imaginator in that they could start out wearing cloth our leather gear and upgrade/replace certain pieces to increase your stats as they become available...again options we've never had. This will be the most RPG and personal investment we've ever had in a Skylanders game (That is, if you're interested in such things). I'll be playing this as a pure RPG experience.

All that being said I'm not dead set against the Senseis I'm just not that interested. Wolfgang gets a pass on that though since he does look unique...and awesome. You know what would have been amazing? If we could have had an option to have Imaginators follow a Sensei in game like the old minis used to as a cosmetic "pet". It would be like they were watching and learning from the Senseis in real time.

Ill prob do the same, while the crwating a skylander thing is cool its not my cup of tea. I like playing figures with backstories and goals etc, not so much into making stuff. Like Disney Infinity or Minecraft I would be all for playing someone else's level but building my own I'd get bored pretty quick.

#33 Posted: 08:49:53 19/06/2016
I'll get them all and will probably play them all enough to max their levels and get all their upgrades but I will not be playing anymore official skylanders past that. Main Story playing will go with Imaginators all the time and in all future skylander games
Medicus Gold Sparx Gems: 2405
#34 Posted: 11:26:33 19/06/2016
I'll probably use mainly Sensie's the first time through, and then work with the Imaginators when replaying the game.

As for villains, I'll be playing as smilie, smilie, smilie, and smilie. smilie as my main choice.

At this stage I'm only interested in collecting these Sensei figures:

•Eight regular Sensei, with Master King Pen, Ember and Ambush as possibilities
•Eight former Villains, with smilie , smilie , smilie , smilie , smilie , smilie , smilie and smilie being my current preferred picks
•Crash Bandicoot...well, depending on which Starter Pack(s) I choose

Hopefully I can figure out a way to have all ten classes spread out between them, with overlaps of the ones I find most interesting. I won't lie, though, the idea of Imaginators means I'm more likely to play as my own ideas, especially since I'm a sucker for character creation.
