I've been confused on this?

Probably one of the face buttons on the controller. They haven't released the official controls, though.

I was leaning towards y on xbox, but I don't know

Maybe for the wii it's gonna be like double tap Z or C or something

In most games, jump is X or Circle on the PS3, so it probably would be A or B on the 360 controller. But that's just speculation on my part.

I think it will be A on 360, X on PS3 and B on Wii U. This would then imply that the primary attack is on X/Sqaure/Y, secondary on Y/Triangle/X and special on B/Square/A. It looks like the action button, based on the demo, has been moved to the shoulder buttons.

Maybe the Wii version will be A to jump, B to primary, and C/Z for secondary and special and then 1 or 2 will be the interact button.

From what i saw in the gameplay trailer, to enter a Swap Zone, you had to press the Right Trigger(or Bumper whatever)

I'm guessing A Jump, X Primary Attack, B Secondary Attack, and Y Third Attack.

^ In the same video, B was used as a speed boost - implying that B is the special, since flying appears to be Blast Zone's special.

Wii would probably be 1 or 2

I doubt that very much. Too hard to reach. I would think it would be C, and would still be the action button as well.

theyll probably shift around the current layout to allow them to put the jump button into a very easy to access area, i doubt itll occupy a currently unused button at least for the Wii U as itll make it far too uncomfortable to use (unless they use a shoulder button which is possible..but unlikely)

I was thinking it should be :-
PS3 - triangle
X-Box 360 - Y
Wii - I have no idea

With jumping, they should allow jumping attacks, too. That could open up possibilities for new abilities gained by ALL Skylanders.

^ What he said, but it'd be really hard to imagine Prism Break jumping. I'm not too sure if I fully understand the whole jumping thing. I didn't really mind that they didn't jump.

jumping is the BEST part of this game! so far....

I believe stealth elf's wow pow will be a double jump IMO

Actually, Jake, every character can jump in the 3DS games, and they don't look half bad when jumping.

I imagine the animation will be similar.

Had no idea! I'll take your word for it GM78!

Look it up on Youtube... I'll find one instead

5:13 is a great view of it

I think jumping could kill the game. If they make you jump too high, then goodbye lock puzzles, block turtles, and bounce pads. Haven't seen gameplay yet so I'm not sure what jumping will be like.

More Light Weight the higher is what I'm seeing

I hope flying is changed a bit now that we might be able to jump across lava / water...

Maybe even have some verticality implemented into flying

I just want you to jump while you're flying as flying characters

On the wii,
It's likely to be C (and one or two being interact)

I'm thinking it will be C for the Wii, but they could just have you lift the controller.

Nothing to do with buttons, but wouldn't it be weird for the giants to jump? Imagine crusher jumping about five feet. I wonder what it'll look like.

if you play the 3ds version he already jumps, and i doubt theyd let him jump 5 feet, he would do a very manly...hop.

If you've seen the gameplay, you would have known that the jumps aren't that high

I didn't miss jumping and if I now have to relearn how to control every character because an attack button is being remapped in order to have a jump button that I never asked for I am going to be highly annoyed

You can't have a jump button on skylanders. The only way you can jump is on a bounce pad.
I wish you could jump though!😉

Well you're late to the party.

the ps3 has unused buttons. the wii (i think) had an unused button on the nunchuck. maybe you have to shake the nunchuck, as the previous games made you shake the wii mote

Or on the Wii you hold it like mario kart and press 1 to jump and control pad to walk and the 2 button for third attack

I feel like the wii has no more buttons... 2 more buttons needed?! All I see is either 1 or 2 and the + pad. Other than that.. they have to switch it all up IMO.

whats IMO mean?

In My Opinion.

thanks

I don't think it will be on the Wii, but the Wii U due to the graphic overhaul.

I thought it was confirmed to be released on the wii?
but i think the z button is open for jump (the nunchunk shake thing is open too)

They don't necessarily have to pick open buttons. I think it's pretty much sure jump will be on A and then have B, C and Z used for attacks and 1/2 used for interaction.

True, i cant wait to see it all lay out.

They won't make you jump too high. The 3DS version has shown each of the jumps to be realistic for the character.

Why would jumping "kill" lock puzzles anyways, they could raise the gate or make it an actual door. Block turtles maybe but probably not since they could always just use the turtles/blocks to build bridges for when jumping is not a viable option. Bounce pads can go, but most likely they'd be replaced by the pads in the 3DS game that launch you up.

But who really plays Skylanders for those things anyways? Like "kill" the game is a ridiculous statement.
