darkSpyro

What are the attacks on the 3DS? I am considering buying it but I don't know if the attacks will be the same as on the console versions.

Attacks are NEVER the same as consoles

I know that... Stealth Elf can throw Kunai/Stars in the 3DS version

NOT FAIR!

Or Whirlwind can dash forward with her horn.

Or Cynder can use a Shadowball......

They're not identical, but they're still roughly the same, Countdown for instance is near identical, you just spawn bomblings by dashing instead of a separate command. This only really applies to the Swap Force characters, mind you.

Oh, and S3 Dark Spyro is identical to S1, except with his Wow pow.

Some are the same, some are new, and some are modifications of console versions.

One of my favorite changes is Scorp's final upgrade on the 3ds. It's a variation of Scorpiroll, but this time it's more of a quick speed boost, and it feels really good.

A few characters, like Punk Shock, are significantly different on the 3ds.

Yeah but for the most part you have 4 types of moves.

Y: your primary attack, this one's alot of the time similer to the one on the console version. Flashwing's primary is similer but the 'stuck in the wall' think doesn't happen. SE's primary is similer but it's a 3 hit combo by default.

X: you secondary attack. This can range from being similer to an move the console verion as. Like flashwing's secondary, or it could be completely different. Like SE's thrown throw.

A: This is your dash. Some upgrades are tied to this. Like Zook's ability to grow those weed things. Or SE becoming invisible. (granted enemies can still see her.) Sometimes though this doesn't even change at all and remains a simple dash... Like Eye-brawl.

B: this is your jump. But some of the moves are attacked to this. Like Bash's WOW pow. However, with the exception of skylanders that can hover or glide, the jump stays a normal jump until you get an upgrade or WOW pow.
