This topic is for all of you that think some skylanders are weak and some skylanders are strong. The skylander you choose depends on your skill and different people are good with different skylanders.

Double trouble
Zap
L-Bash
Eruptor
Trigger happy
Drobot

unless you are an idiot, stealth elf, drobot and terrafin are strong and this is a fact. some skylanders are simply stronger than others.

Those are the only superior skylanders. The rest are equal.

not really. my stump smash will never beat a sonic boom, for example.

Because you are probably better with Sonic Boom than Stump Smash because sonic boom fits your play style.

nope. because sonic boom's roar push me too far away and stump smash is slow

The tier list being made doesn't mean that a low tiered character can never beat a high tiered character. It's just to show which characters have better strengths and weaknesses when going into PvP mode. It's impossible for the develops to perfectly balance 64 different move sets, there are too many variables to take into account and they don't have enough time to sort through them.

Plus, the entire PVP mode was kind of an afterthought in the first Skylanders anyway. Chances are, strengths in that mode weren't even taken into account when making the characters. The cast of Skylanders was made to be balanced in story mode, and really, they are a lot closer to balanced in that mode. PVP is as distinctively unbalanced as it is because they're pitting story mode characters against each other, and some story mode strengths (quick melee) are better than other story mode strengths (a shield that reflects/blocks minor damage).

But all character have equivalent strength to me except of the elite 3.

I just can't say (and mean it) that Soul of the Flame Ignitor isn't head and shoulders above all other Fire champions. Or that Earth isn't a better element than all the others overall, with stronger champions and weaker opposition than every other type in the game. Or that Stump Smash isn't a worse melee character than Voodood, Bash isn't a better charging character than Drill Sergeant, or that Trigger Happy's HP isn't a much larger weakness than any other character's "low" stats. They really did try to balance them. I'm not going to deny that they at least made the effort. However, while Cynder/Drobot/Stealth Elf/Terrafin are the most glaring examples of unbalance, others do exist.

imo, not really. even not mentioning drobot or stealth, the balance is very poor. look at chop chop's damage then bash tail swipe and tell me there is balance. stump smash is weaker than voodood and balancing it would be easy. instead of that *****ng and *****y soul gem, give him something like "meganut deal more damage (like 50) and take more damage (like 75-100). there also other stump's abilities very unbalanced (the upgrade combos, meganut explosion), but fixing the simple meganut would be enough. or trigger happy and boomer. boomer deal likely the same damage of trigger happy (maybe a little more), but he has more defense option, so why he has 480 hp while the poor gremlin only 400? i don't think this a very well done balance.
