Original, he's actually badass unlike Legend

Original by 700 miles. Spyro looks like a dork in the Legend games. Plus, I don't like how his horns are in the game. How your charge is supposed to work on anything if you can't use your horns to do it?

legend legend legend realy he would beat him up OH and the Doomsong mint avatar

Talking popularity...legend.
Talking my opionion..legend.
talking actually about powers and stuff...legend.

Lengend wins.

Legend by miles!

LEGEND!!!!
He's awesome....*smile*
+after when I have more time I will make one avatar of it +

It could go either way. Both are very popular, hard to say which is more. Yes, Legend has more powers, but Spyro has the attitude and stratiegic power to win against him. Here's how I think the fight might go:

(boss battle style)
New Spyro:
You are forced to stay at a distance hovering above the ground and launch ranged magic at old Spyro. T
he battle field is riddled with barriers for Spyro (old) to hide behind.
You must hit him when he reappears.
Hit old Spyro until he is stunned and the go up and spam attack him.
Retreat quickly before he rises or he will supercharge/superflame you.
Repeat untill health is drained.
You are protected by a magic shield.
You fall when Old Spyro destroys your sheild, as it delivers a shock to your MP, draining it for awhile. You regenerate MP when you are able to stand again.

Old Spyro:
Run around and hide behind barriers while New Spyro attacks.
You must move from barrier to barrier, picking up missiles which you spit at New Spyro, to make him drop his shield.
As the battle progresses, Flying saucers appear on the battle field which you use to fly over New Spyro's head. This delivers more damage than missiles but only lasts for 40 seconds. You can fire as many times as possible in that time frame.
Once the shild is dropped, you must use Dragon-Kata on him.
Retreat before he rises, or he will spit magic at you.
Repeat Until health is drained.

Note:
Old Spyro may not have many natural powers, but he can use projectiles and vehicles like flying saucers and tanks.
Spyro must use Dragon-Kata from Spyro: Shadow Legacy to make hand to hand combat fair.

New Spyro has many natural abilities, but limited magic power. That is where Old Spyro gets an advantage.

Both have heath meters which are exactly the same size. No three hits and you die, no gems or butterflies to regenerate health.

The battlefeiuld is a combination of the old and new worlds. It has butterflies vehicles and maybe power ups for old Spyro and maybe purple gems for new Spyro.

That is why I think it could go either way.

Probably the Original because the Legend one would be too drippy and modest to even fight the Original one.

[drip voice]"I can't fight you! I'm on your side!"[/drip voice]

LOL!

What would old Spyro say?

He'd probably laugh at him

Go Legend of Spyro

It would make a intresting agme if the two Spyro's met....and tried to kill each other...

What if they worked together? I forsee many comical clashes of personality, maybe a nice blend of attitude meets ridiculously over powered, versatile gameplay; you can fly and button mash or use tools, vehicles, weapons and power ups along with basic abilities.
I'd play it! A fight between old and new would be a really bad move on Activision's part. If the fight progressed through more than one game, the time in between would be filled with flame wars. If one won over the other, the fans of the losing version would be indignant, angry, and maybe stop playing Spyro all together, depending on how much they loved the losing dragon. The fans of the winning version would make things worse with gloating and "I told you so's". Another slew of flame wars would ensue. As interesting as the idea may be, the two eras should never meet. Who agrees?

LOL!

What would old Spyro say?

Something very cocky and awesome.

I like them both, hmmm...

Mabye Original for his personality and all that, but i like Legend for his powers and design.

I cant choose

But probablly Legend.

Quote: The DoomSong

Original, he's actually badass unlike Legend

Original spyro doesnt do melee attack

Legend dosen't have UFO's......

Original Spyro because he can drive a UFO. He pawns by far. Like someone else said, Legend Spyro probably wouldn't even fight him. But I doupt the original Spyro would back down from a challenge.

Original!

Popularity...? If I remember correctly, Spyro's popularity went downhill when the Legend series came out. Most of the older fans didn't like all the changes and stuffs. Seriously, you could slap any random name instead of Spyro to the Legend series, and it'd still work. In fact, if it didn't use the names Spyro, Sparx and Hunter, I'd think a lot more people would like and play the Legend series. Heck, even I would!

legend.

Original! Look at the above pic! Look at his face! That's the face of a fighter! A WINNER! New Spyro looks like a noble sort of knight in that pic. Nothing wrong with that, but knights tend to be goody-two-shoes, and goody-two-shoes don't like to fight unless it's totally necessary. As far as New Spyro is concerned, saving the world is a good reason to fight, and old Spyro would agree, but New Spyro doesn't seem like he would fight one on his side. Remember how he didn't fight Cynder when she was evil? She was controlled, but still good inside (regrettably) and he didn't fight because of that. Old Spyro on the other hand id like a vigilantae(sp?), and vigilantaes fight if they see any reason which seems good at the time. Fight to save lives, fight to catch a thief, fight to put someone (good or not) in thier place, fight when challenged or threatened, to proove themselves, etc. As Cynder_543 says, he would never back down from a challenge.
I agree with you, Crashfan25, the Legends would be some of my favorite games if they weren't Spyro games.

Oh, definitely original. Legend Spyro is too much of a softy and he's very easily pushed around by...well, everyone and everything. Sure, he's got epic powers, but he is far too trusting and willing to obey any order given him without question. All you have to do is tell him it's his destiny to get his butt kicked and he'll do it. Insomniac Spyro tended to think more and question authority at every opportunity. When he did find himself in trouble, he would fight his way out of it (often, his "fight first, ask questions later" attitude got him into even more trouble). He's good at taunting an enemy into an unthinking rage and using said enemy's weaknesses against him.

Don't forget, too, that LoS Spyro's powers are very limited. Once he's out of magic, he's as weak as a kitten, whereas original Spyro is a bundle of head-bashing energy and an endless supply of fire breath. Old school Spyro has also encountered a much greater variety of enemies, whereas poor LoS Spyro has really only fought apes, a couple dragons, and the occasional giant monster. Original Spyro has a much greater log of experience on his side, on top of everything else.

So, yeah. Old Spyro totally wins.

Abstain on this one. Neither deserves to win IMHO. <.<;

Seriously? Then what on earth are you still doing on a Spyro board, HIR? o.o Unless your preferred one of the Spyros not listed here (EtD, AHT, console, etc).

I agree. Legend Spyro may be alot more powerful. But he has one weakness. He would never fight a dragon that is on his side. The original Spyro is a dragon that is on his side, so if they would fight, Legend Spyro wouldn't fight him, just like how he wouldn't fight Cynder. The original Spyro's personality is the operset. I doubt he would never back down from a challenge because he is just too brave to say "OMG I WILL NEVER FIGHT YOU!!!". He seems to be the type, that I said before, never backs down from a challenge. Plus, like Razz said, Legend Spyro's power is not unlimited like original Spyro. Once he runs out off power, he has to attack a crystal thingy to get his power back. If original Spyro would to make sure there is no crystal around, Legend Spyro wouldn't be able to use his elements. Oh, and original Spyro can use technology to win. If he wants to fly, the he can use a UFO or some flying power up near by.

(Got rid of picture coz it was bit big to quote)

As I recall, did I say anything about OLDER fans? No, I said popularity. That can be A N Y O N E. Even teh annoying bratty fans we get on this site.

EDIT: And LOS Spyro properbly WOLD fight if he was threatened, so old Spyro may stricke first but he's getting powerful mele's and breaths back at him. He is not helpless when he has no breath energy, he can do fury's and mele's. Old Spyro can flame, and charge. That's it.

Plus, new spyro can fly.

Don't you know anything about the technology on old Spyro's side? Read Razz's post, post #24.

New Spyro a softy? Yeah, all he knows if you have to breath fire on them or charge them and there dead. Soem bosses have larger health bars but that's no problem. It's not like you actually have to think.

Aborick, you had to think. Ravage rider, you had to think. Malefor, you had to think (At some parts)

Whereas...

Gulp, run around arena, shoot rockets, charge barrels. Nothing else. Very simple bosses, once you know how to get 1hp off. You can defate them.

The new bosses are the same. Once you know their patterns, they're a cake walk, and some of them have no excuse for being as dirt easy as they are (*cough*Malefor*cough*). I like that, in the old Spyro, you had to know a certain set of button combinations to defeat enemies, whereas in LoS, it's literally nothing but button mashing (constantly D: ).

re: popularity
Bratty fans included, Legend Spyro still isn't as popular as old Spyro. Read any review of the games and you'll see reviewers mention old Spyro with phrases like "how the mighty have fallen" and "remember the days when this was a fun franchise?". On Gamerankings, a site that averages all review scores of a game, the old Spyro games rate in the 80s and 90s, while the highest-rated LoS title (AN is in the low 70s (about the same score as AHT). Even when the old Spyro games were re-released and were being judged by today's standards of modern gaming graphics, they still scored better (in the 8.0 range) than any of the LoS games.

Yes, a lot of people like LoS Spyro, and with this forum being comprised of mostly younger and newer fans it looks like he's more popular, but if you look at the big picture and actually check the numbers, he is not.

It's not just the reviews, it's the sales.

Spyro the Dragon sold 4.91 million copies.
Dawn of the Dragon sold 1.19 million copies (PS3, PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii)

According to VGChartz

I know! almost fave million on ONE console, and a little over one million on FOUR consoles.

Original wins.

I actually didn't understand that....

Serriously...

How does original win?

Read the post!
First Spyro:
It was totally new, with no prior fans.
It was released for just ONE console.
It sold almost five million copies.

DotD:
The end to a trilogy, many fans of LOS prior to its release.
It was sold for FOUR different consoles.
It sold a little over one million copies.

Hence, Original wins in terms of popularity. It sold more copies before it was well known, and those who like originals in the first place still do, many like it more than LOS, and many former Spyro fans really likes the originals. Again, original wins.

Not in my opinion, and I thought this was about powers and stuff not how much people liked it?

Uh, excuse me? I believe you mere the first to say, talking popularity, legend wins.

Yep, there it is.

Like I said, in terms of popularity, the original series obliterates LoS. Whether you like that or not doesn't matter. The numbers don't lie.

And I've already said, as have many others, why I think Insomniac Spyro would win in a fight. Quick thinker, unlimited fire power, has a greater range of enemies in his repertoire, jumps into a fight without questioning it, is a lot more energetic, was raised by dragons and taught their ways out of the egg, etc. All he has to do is run circles around LoS Spyro until poor Frodo runs out of magic and then head bash him. Really, it's a pretty unfair fight if you think about it.

kinda. But how would he fair against the Melee?

Given that old Spyro fought a lot of enemies in groups, I think he'd be fine. Since he has unlimited fire breath, he could set most of his enemies on fire, charge the ones with armor on and then set them on fire, and head bash the little ones.

LOS Spyro fights large groups too. Then again it takes him a long time to kill ONE enemy, old Spyro could probably kill a whole TEN sized hoard in the time it takes new Spyro to kill five.

Which side are you on?

Old, don't you know? Read my posts!

Hm..

Yet were comparing old spyro to old enimies, would he be as quick to kill an enimie with a health bar and far stronger atatcks? Bear in mind, 4 hits and he's dead.

I said above in my first post that they would both have health meters. BTW, the old enemies had health meters. I think a guy like Spyro would be fine against anyone.

The old enemies didn't have health meters, but remember that it only takes between one and three hits to kill LoS Spyro. And if an enemy knocks him into water, he'll drown (old Spyro can at least swim).
