Apologies if this has been done before, but I didn't see it.
So, how do you think the characters will cope in PVP? What I think for the Giants (I will put the new regulars later) (Also, for the Giants, I am comparing them as if the battles were Giant vs. Giant)

Tree Rex: I believe he will be quite weak. He just doesn't seem to have a quick, reliable way of dealing damage. The arm slam seems hard to pull off, and the laser doesn't seem to do much damage. The only thing he really has going for him is the dash move, which will be good since most giants are slow as heck.

Crusher: I think he will be pretty good. However, there are already 4 Giants with melee attacks. So, his placement depends on how well his other attacks work, and from what I have seen, they will be fantastic.

Swarm: I predict he will be broken. He has a usable melee attack, he has a flight move (Which is EXTREMELY good with the slow giants) that comes with a good projectile, and the swarm of wasps looks like a good escape move.

Hot Head: I think he will be mediocre. His dash move looks good, but the oil rain might be interruptible, and the lava flow has short range.

Thumpback: His attacks look like they will do nice amounts of damage, but his versatility seems lackluster.

Bouncer: I think he will be alright. His rocket move looks cool to strategize with, but it leaves him vurnerable. His bullet attack is, well, just another projectile.

Eye Brawl: His combos look powerful, and the eye lasers can work as a projectile. But the Eyeball fountain looks like a waste.

Ninjini: I haven't seen enough of her orb attack to know if it will be useful, but the melee move and the heat-seeking bottle projectiles look like they can make up a great character in PVP.

But your just criticizing most of them... I don't think Giant attacks should be interruptable since they're so powerful.

I did make one on this, but oh well. Anyway, here's what I thought then, with a few updates.

Ninjini- If her lamp is temporary attacking invincibility ala Terrafin, she will be basically banished instantly. If not it just depends on how much damage she can deal.
Pop Fizz- Potions path will be instant ban. Potions do 22 damage each with absolutely no upgrades. Down the standard path you get increased potions damage and lob them faster, and in potions path you get even more increased damage. Beserker Path could go either way depending but it probably isn't gonna break new ground, unless the two clones speculation is true.

Crusher- Probably be a middling Giant, overall. He doesn't look to do that much damage, and is pretty slow for even a Giant.
Flashwing- Probably gonna be extreme low-tier. She looks weak and difficult to use well.

Thumpback- Probably above average. Standard plain attacks and doesn't look like he deals huge damage. However, he has a dash attack...
Chill- It really depends on her paths at this point. Ice looks extremely powerful, so if that gets a path she will probably rank high. A spear path would probably just be another Spyro.

Hot Head- Lava rain, lava cannons, and he has a dash attack. But I don't see him doing amazing damage. Probably... Above average Giant.
Hot Dog- Looks usable. Could be overpowered if his attacks do lots of damage, and he has decent HP.

Bouncer- He looks like the fastest Giant and he has ranged attacks... But his HP is bad for a Giant. Probably gonna be the weakest Giant.
Sprocket- Depends on her damage. And also the effects of the tank. And her HP. And everything. Probably Upper B ala the way Vampiric Warrior Chop Chop is, usable, not extremely powerful, but better than everything below. (Though she will still be my favorite, obviously. )

Eye-Brawl- Middling. The eye laser seems like a useful coverage move like the Soul Of The Flame, but all his other attacks just seem like they would do mediocre damage.
Fright Rider- Instant ban. He has a dash attack and the axe can do 42 damage a hit. And that's simple as that.

Swarm- Probably very high because he can fly away and has both ranged and Melee attacks.
Jet-Vac- Don't expect much use, discussion, or brokenness. I think he will end up in the never discussed borderline of Lower A actually.

Tree Rex- Probably high because he has good HP and good mixed attacks.
Shroomboom- Depends on the damage and how much the mushrooms absorb. Probably going to be low though... Don't expect a surprise like with Zook.

Again. Why is it that no one likes the Giants?

I think pesonaly the giants will be over powered unless they face an other giant.For the new guys I think Pop Fizz and Sprocket will be the ones that will cause you trouble when someone who mastered them is using them

Agreed

Ignitor continues to dominate PVP the same way he always used to, but with a Legendary version and a Wow Pow power to help him out. Same for Stealth Elf I guess. The more things change, the more they stay the same, and based on what I've seen out of the new characters, they can't measure up to improved versions of the already broken SSA characters.

Remember Nibelilt that even though Fright Rider's spear does 42 damaga and pop fizz's potions do 22 at the start, the new maximum level is 15 meaning higher HP for all characters.

hey wumbosimpson i think they are trying to cover not only the strengths of the giants, but the weaknesses too. knowing the pros and cons could help in the long run
