Spyro (Spyro the Dragon) Discussion

This thread belongs in the wall of shame so if I was a major Spyro supporter I'd make a new one asap before Dust moves it

Well Ottsel, he should at least have his convexity breath as his final smash attack and transform into his legend form, dawn of the dragon style, like how pac man in his final smash when he turns to classic pac man, I guess I can tolerate Spyro being in classic form, but ONLY on that condition . what I mean by hybrid, is because classic Spyro looks like a mix between a dragon and something else, he barely looks like a dragon.

I don't think the devs will take in mind what you can tolerate.

Might as well throw my opinion.
If Spyro, then only Classic Spyro with a minimum of references to later Spyro Generations.
That also means no Convixi-whatever beam for Final Smash. That thing is boring as hell.

well I guess I can tolerate classic Spyro, but he should have different forms, like how Luigi when you press a button and it turns to wuigi (or however it's spelled) It should be something like that

It wouldn't be something like that so you're just going to have to 'tolerate' it

It should be though, there would be more variety

No there wouldn't. Adding something that's not even canon at all for "variety" is wasting development time. Are we gonna make Link transform into 8-Bit and N64 Link for the heck of it? No. There wouldn't be more variety; it would just satisfy you.

Wow, this fell through quickly. Didn't expect to see it in the wall of shame. lol

Isn't that precisely what Project M did by making a 'Melee Link' alternate costume? Haven't we had an 8-bit Mario suggestion? Yarn Yoshi?

I'm not saying I would support an alternate Spyro (far from it), but if he wants to make a topic for it, let him.

But weren't 8-Bit Mario and Yarn Yoshi significantly different from their counterparts in terms of movesets? Now, if Dragonguy is talking about a full separate moveset for Legends Spyro, that'd be different. Not necessarily better, it's still be pretty dumb, and the moveset'd probably be really bad, but it would at least be a different story to an alternate costume, which sounds to me like what he's getting at.

I heard my homie Yarn Yosh being mentioned
Hey-ho

Mmmyes
That is correct-o
Yarn Yoshi has indeed been suggested

Yarn Yoshi is indeed significantly different
Plus, we do got Weegee (Yes I know he was pre-Revamp Crusade Roster but he's still around so that must mean something, even if slight) which is Luigi through-and-through (Not even a seperate in-game identity like Yarn Yoshi or Zero Suit if we're staying away from the Internet side of him) but with Mario is Missing sprites being the only real seperation before Memes were injected into everything he does (Even the name "Weegee" is from the Internet, but Luigi has gone by "Weege" in certain Nintendo Comics)
We could have RED Heavyweapons Guy and a BLU/Robo Heavyweapons Guy alt. for RED HWG who are technically the same person, but if support was booming enough for both and BLU's moveset was a drastic variation from RED, there's still a chance it could happen, even if incredibly slightly.

But them's just my thoughts.
If the lad wants to make a Classic Spyro (Like the PS Trilogy) alongside a more Modern Spyro (Skylanders Series), I don't see why not.

I think that I, the creator of it, would know if 8-Bit Mario's been suggested

I didn't know we were Project M.

There are core game examples as well. Female Robin and Corrin. Bayonetta costumes. Probably more but I don't feel like thinking.

Notice how none of those are Crusade. Dev team doesn't have the same abillities to sprite a different form of a character, the team has a lot less resources and tons of things to sprite.

Point is, Project M and core game don't really matter in this scenario.

I want to point out that spriting an alternate costume would be significantly more time consuming than modeling one

@Shaq I understand that, but given the question of legitimacy of project M I thought you were referring to that specifically.

@Dust I though that was the obvious part.

Well yeah... considering he brought up Weegee as the point, I figured he meant a completely new moveset.

Yes, but it's not completely out of the question... who even said it was a costume? I figured it would be like Pichu or Dr. Mario...

Why would we even need to make seperate forms when we can just combine moves? Classic Spyro is the one the majority loves. We don't need an alt for the one people shove to the side.

I'm just saying it has a chance (though very small), and if he really believes in it, he should make a topic and moveset about it. Most of us wouldn't support it, but it's a valid opinion.
