Did you know? Most, if not all, Battle Classes have animations or attacks based on existing Skylanders:
Swashbucklers share style and appearance with Ninjini, also lacking normal legs like her and hovering slightly above the ground.
Sorcerers also float slightly above the ground, have a smaller maximum lower half height than most classes, and as one of the possible basic attacks, use a continuous beam of magic energy, all like Double Trouble.
Knights have the similar animations and the same basic sword as Chop Chop.
Quickshots in early versions of the game had the same body type as Ninjas, resembling Trigger Happy.
Ninjas, on the other hand, because of their small bodies and the way they throw their stars, resemble Lob-Star.
The usage of knuckles and the punching techniques of Brawlers resemble Terrafin's abilities.
From animations to some of their shooting techniques, Bowslingers appear to be inspired by Flameslinger.
