Spyro (Spyro the Dragon) Discussion

I introduced the game to a friend and he liked it. He is a big Spyro fan and he said it would be cool if Spyro the Dragon was a playable character. Here I am, suggesting. Spyro would be great because of his moveset that has been shown over the years of all his games. He is a young dragon with spunk and he fits in with a game like this perfectly.

How do I add a picture? The system won't seem to let me.

Just get an image's URL and put

around it.

As for Spyro,
I've already made a moveset for him, actually.

Crash is in, WHY NOT SPYRO?
Also, use SP's moveset, it's that good

spyro is a classic character which deserves to be in smash bros crusade

Spyro is classic, but I don't remember anything from his games, only flying around collecting coins or whatever they were, all over the map.

Reading SP's moveset, and it is amazing. The only thing it lacks from the old games is Moneybags running in and taking all of your gems.

Spyro would be a great addition, and would be fun to fight against his ultimate rival, Crash.

He actually collected Gems, but yeah, Spyro has some powers, he could charge with his horns, he had firebreath (in some later games, water, ice, thunder, wind, and idk what else), he could glide, he could fly (though only in some bonus stages), he could tackle the ground with his horns, he could swim, HE COULD USE HIS FIREBREATH UNDERWATER (not sure)

He's an interesting character, and he's just as iconic as Crash or Parappa The Rapper for a Playstation character

I wouldn't mind him being in, it would at the very least compliment Crash, if not make a lot of fans happy.

Excellent! One Down, 101 Skylanders to go! And that's not even mentioning the Swappritunities and Doom Raiders involved in this so hop to it, Portal Masters!

We're most likely referring to the original Spyro trilogy, and if not that, at least the other 10 games that came before Skylanders was even conceived. I suggest you learn a bit more about Spyro.

Yep, that why Spyro's the easiest to implement, Cynder's slightly less easy in that you have to make her moveset from the Legend of Spyro Trilogy and the Skylander Games. Dear Lord, I can't wait til I cook up a moveset for Kaos! November Fourteenth can't come soon enough!

For one, I think it's pretty unlikely that Spyro would get a second rep in Crusade, especially Cynder, of all characters. If he did get a second rep, the most likely candidate would probably be Gnasty Gnorc or someone else that isn't a dragon. But as it stands, I don't imagine he'll get one. Also, I think Skylanders should be ignored entirely when it comes to Spyro, as it isn't strictly Spyro, and is essentially a gimmicky, mediocre game that gouges you for money.

As far as actual, genuine, Spyro the Dragon in Crusade, though, he's got my full support.

I support him: he seems like a very interesting character, and he'd be the perfect rival to Crash.

Same.

I've got a Skylander Rep in the works, Maybe two... You're just gonna have to wait until my Ban is over to see who they are. Here's a Hint: They're both Portal Masters.

Is there much point in creating suggestions for Skylanders when Spyro isn't even for sure in? I mean, Spyro definitely should be in, but I don't really think we need Skylanders. How about you put that effort into more deserving characters?

But, yeah, Spyro has got my support.

As long as we count Spyro and Skylanders as separate, I don't have a problem with both... the only trouble I see is that Skylanders doesn't really have a main character, does it?

Regardless, Spyro himself needs a moveset. Of course we should base it on the classic PS1 games (and MAYBE Enter the Dragonfly)... Side Special has to be his charge move, and neutral his flame breath.
One unique thing we could work with him is give him '4' jumps in a way - normal jump, double jump, glide, hover, assuming you keep pressing jump to reach all 4 levels. Unlike other gliding characters, he can cancel his glide with the hover, allowing him to use any attack out of it. He should also be able to cancel it with a charge, or use fire breath during it.

Yeah, Spyro's moveset should for sure be drawn from the classic Insomniac-developed games. And I really like the concept of his aerial mobility being a key feature in his playstyle. If here were to cancel his glide with a charge, though, would that essentially function like Sonic's mid-air Spin Dash?

As for Skylanders, I always thought it was kind of centered around the fact that Spyro was in it, and started as a sort of attempt at reviving his franchise. Then again, I was never really into it that much. Never struck my fancy. If Skylanders is enough of it's own franchise, and has a unique enough possible rep to deserve a place in Crusade, then by all means. I just think there are a heck of a lot of more deserving, more iconic characters out there that haven't been tapped into yet, and Skylanders shouldn't be a priority.

Sort of, except he goes forward and it's a single, hard hit rather than a grind of hits.

I think the original Skylanders game attempted to use Spyro to convince more people to buy it (as well as actually use the IP), but it's gone away from that. Spyro is never mentioned anymore when you look for Skylanders. You can't deny the popularity the series has, as well. I haven't played it though, so I can't say for sure what the best option would be.

I invision Spyro being able to chase down opponents easily utilizing good mobility options, both on the air and the ground. To compensate, Spyro should have somewhat poor range on most of his attacks I think.

Yeah, I realize that a lot of people love Skylanders, and I've got nothing against them or even the game, really. I just don't care for it much, and I think that if it does get into Crusade, it should be later in development and probably only one rep. There are plenty of more iconic, more beloved characters that deserve representation. I acknowledge how iconic Skylanders is today, though, so maybe they deserve a character in Crusade. I wouldn't protest one being in, but I'm not gonna support it either unless it's really quite a spectacular character.

So why doesn't this guy have more support? Or has even been discussed in a long time.

(Can't tell if Crimson is supporting since he just said Spyro is a classic... so I left him out for now)

Spoon300 doesn't count as a supporter since he's banned. Just saying.

Does he? Dust told me to leave Playtimebro on my other lists and he deleted himself.

I'd have to go into all of my topics and remove him if that's the case...

Spoon and Playtimebro still count as supporters.

Oh. The reason I thought they didn't count is because Mp3 Toaster stated that we should not count supports from banned or deleted accounts.

At this point. Since accounts are being getting deleted for some reason. Supports for characters are increasing super fast as the activity in this forum has sky-rocketted. This list is not listing any names either. Making it potentially pretty innaccurate too. it's a mess and it will get pretty difficult to track all of it by myself only. So I have to make some changes.

This time. I request topic owners to count down how many supporters there are in their own thread and list them on the first post of the topic with their names in as well.(Though someone else are free to help as well) That way we can truly tell who supports the character. And I don't have to dig through the entire topic again just to make sure it's counted properly. Inaccuracies can also be easily fixed as well. I didn't list the names before in this list because that would make the list pretty big. For topics owned by a deleted account however.. Someone else might have to consider taking over those. And lastly, please don't count supports of accounts who are either banned or has been deleted.

Also, for this list I will later mark which character has been verified. And they will be verified if their topic has it's support list updated in the first post.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm removing that right now.
They're still people who are interested.

I've never played Spyro, why should I support him--
oooooh he's a dragon
Support

I loved his games too much not to support him.

Support!

I support only if skylanders is never mentioned in his moveset
