darkSpyro

Okay, so here's the thing with me, and D.S. ...

...WHY DOESN'T HE HAS HIS MOVESET FROM SSA 3DS FOR SWAP FORCE!?

Vicarious Visions practically MADE D.S. a thing, and gave him his own set of attacks for SSA 3DS, but then just gave us a copy-and-paste for Dark and Legendary Spyro, also for the 3DS versions of SSA AND Giants. THEN gave all his forms the same moves on the home console versions on all three games....

I would've thought aleast V.V. would give D.S. his moves from the 3DS games, since they made S.F. and reintroduced D.S. , but lo and behold....

I won't exactly rage quit and stop playing, but this kinda ticked me off...

-Rant Over-

What was his moveset?

I have the 3ds version of ssa and console so ds's moveset in the 3ds ssa was x,tail strike and y,lightning ball and normal spyro well he in my opinion is bad but i will still give you the moveset x,shoot a small weak blast at the ground and x is the same as console,fireball

Weak or not, he had his own set of moves, that I liked

Weren't we promised different movesets for the other dark Skylanders as well? Even in the 3DS games everyone but Dark Spyro is just a different colour.

The problem is, VV has to program new upgrades for Dark Spyro, new paths, new everything. How would Dark Mega Ram Spyro use his wow pow? Can the figures even save the data for two completley different movesets AND upgrades without running out of data?

Easy. GET RID OF HIS HORNS AND CHARGE MOVE lol

He had none of those moves, in SSA 3DS

They could've just made D.S. a series 2, and just kept series 3 as his normal form

Toys don't store the moves data. They only say "I have thing marked as upgrade 1". Game reads "upgrade 1", and adds that effect to gameplay.

Hypotetically, if Dark Spyro were given a new moveset in SF, and you had all of his upgrades purchased he would have all upgrades available straight away with the new moveset in the game.

I'm annoyed that he just shows up as a "special" Sypro in SSA and Giants. If the Dark Spyro character already existed in these games, why wouldn't the SF figure show up correctly in them?

This is disappointing but not wholly unexpected. Like someone said before, they would have to have programmed a separate character for "Dark Spyro".

Also, those who own the new Dark Spyro, is he not a series 2? That'd be pretty disappointing considering he is the second incarnation of that line.

Its like saying volcanic eruptor is a series 1. Variants dont count when it comes to the order of figure series

I see your point but at the very same time he is technically the second version of an already released figure.

In the game, it just shows up as a "Special" Dark Spyro.

he had the charge move as his dash

Well, for the exception of that. Still, he had a unique moveset only made for SSA 3DS, which V.V. could've carried over to SSA (Home console versions), and even made a series 2 and 3 figure for D.S. Would've made a killing for it

I was going to make a new topic for my question, but since this is here I'll just add it to this discussion. I got my S1 Dark Spyro in the mail today and added him to my SF collection. I never noticed but for both Dark Spyros, the catchphrase reads "Lights Out". Is my game just hitting some kind of glitch that will change after I restart the Xbox, or does anyone else have either a series 1 or Mega Ram Dark Spyro that says this too?

Also, I find it rather disappointing that both toys come up just as Dark Spyro Special, with no unique identifying name between the two.

According to SA his catchphrase was supposed to be Lights Out!, however, this phrase was never recorded and used in the main games. I like that one a lot better than the generic "All Fired Up!" and I think it's a shame that it was never added in.

^This, I was hoping since he was getting a new figure they would consider updating his catch phrase, too bad they didn't. It would have been awesome!

As for the new move set, meh He would be his own skylander then and it would take more programming. I'm fine with the Purple flames.

they should have given dark blast zone purple flames <.< (too late now though)

Remember when everyone was guessing what the Darks' catchphrases might be? Lol I'm getting bitter thinking about :P

Actually he does say it, in Swap Force, after you knockout some baddies

^ That just makes it even worse cause that means they had the soundclip, and yet still left him with the old catchphrase...
