I remember when I first got my Sprocket, my family got her, then we went out to dinner, and I took her out of the box and placed her at the empty 4th seat at the table and it was a pretty fun time
I'm probably what the community would call a "Sprocket apologist" I always thought her moveset was cool and I didn't really understand why she got so much hate. Over the years however I started to kinda understand it given her moveset isn't as easy to get the hang of for everybody especially on higher difficulties. I still like her a lot though! And as for her place in Academy, I really liked her there, she was one of my favorite characters in seasons 2 and 3. And Grey DeLisle did a great job voicing her! Though considering all the other roles she's played it should really be no surprise.
Literally, unironically, my 2nd favourite Skylander in the Tech Element out of all of them. I will never get the hate for this character - _well_ I will, that being, *slow* - and yeah, and I wish Sprocket could act a little quicker. That will never outweigh the fun factor of the turrets, tanks, and mines to me though.
Sprocket is genuinely one of my favorite skylanders of all time, I was honestly shocked when I first joined the Fandom and found out how widely loathed she is
Sprocket is probably my second favourite Skylander. She was really helpful to me during the Brock arena challenges, as her tank path made her really powerful.
Basically videos are my favourite Krypt Krusher videos. His sarcasm is a great part of what makes him funny. I just got Krypt King, he is based, Kyrpt is even more based. Of course Enigma, Short cut, Wallop and Knight Light are better but he is more based then all of those. Keep it up Krypt
As someone who picked the skylanders they liked concept wise, over how good they were, I definitely would’ve grabbed if I noticed since I love builder characters like Tf2 engie l, and think they add and encourage more strategy more than any other choice in their game. BUT, I definitely would’ve been annoyed trying to conquer multitask/managing as her when she has only one good quick move, still would’ve played her a lot! But I can tell her not being as good as people wanted, especially when she is the only character that fully embraces a strategic building based play style, and has a concept/design that easily appeals to people who are fans of character who are similar in other games.
Can you do Fright Rider next? He is often one of the first on "most forgotten" lists, but I think he is really strong, especially with his relatively fast and powerful combo attacks
I like Sprocket. She's fun to use and she has land mines (to protect your property) and you can get a lot of damage in if you know what you're doing. She's not super easy to use effectively but I think it's worth the investment
Sprocket is fine. Sometimes i play as her. Edit: just finished the video. I never got her wow pow myself even though I have her figure. But it doesnt seem too good to me. And her soul gem is indeed a bit lame even if the upgrade is decent. First
You can actually place the turret without the animation in Superchargers and Imaginators. You just have to jump and place the turret right after that. It's quite the tight timing, but really satisfying and it really helps Srocket a lot. Oh and she is the best character for speedrunning SSF HD, because hes has some OP glitches.
I've had to play giant's on hard mode with sprocket and oh my god it is the most miserable thing to do in any game, since the turrets are piss weak in that game you basically have to go for the monkey wrench path and just mine spam since the damage actually stacks with the mines in giants, but the turrets are pretty useless and the fact that you can't even insta launch a mine like in later games really hurts her moveset
Krypt, basically videos are the best videos you make(and the lockes) and I think I speak for a lot of ppl when I say that. With that, could you do a basically video on swash buckler.
Imo the problem with sprocket is there’s just too much going on. The upgrade paths are trying to balance turrets, tanks, wrenches and mines so none of them really excel to be that fun and reliable main move. If you made some of her upgrades (tank, turret explosion and mine lob) part of her base moveset or combined them with other upgrades, that would atleast leave room for more damage upgrades.
As someone who was not in touch with the Skylanders community, wtf Skylanders community. Sprocket’s cool. Not saying she’s that good but I had a great time playing as her. Whacking enemies with renches, throwing mines, knocking mines into enemies. It was just a nice feeling. And of course her quips and overall attitude gave the impression of someone who was both chill and skilled. Plus, a nice design to package it all. Maybe the occasional tank ride. I figured out it wasn’t the best way to go about things. It’s better to just let the turrets do their thing. Edit: Yup. Yup, I get that. The combo’s are definitely underwhelming, but the new rench looks cool at least and three mines are kind of lifesavers. Didn’t really do the gearhead path. Maybe the tank is better than I remember. I still like her, though. Also, I’m not sure what’s up with Giants. Hitting mines works fine on the Wii at least.
I personally was a fan of sprocket, despite her being overall pretty bad she was so fun to play. This was a very good analysis and super interesting to watch with a good taste of humor. I'd love to see more :]
I know this may go against everything you stand for Krypt Krusher, but can you do a basically on Short Cut I haven't bought an undead trap master and I don't wanna go based off which design I like more.
i personally dont mind Sprocket as a character but her moveset is just not it for me, i dont have a good time using her so much cause she doesnt have the damage and skillset to back herself up which leads to her being taken out more often then not
I've been in the hospital for a long time and have loved your channel it's fun seeing my favorite game being talked about and to see you grow as a channel keep up the good work!
As many people say, increasing the speed and knock back on melee and increasing build speed would fix most of her problems, but another thing should also be done. The basic turret when controlled should give you damage reduction and either a faster firing rate or more damage. Now, it's purpose for existing is clear from the start, as a final stand ability rather than something you always use. This should stack with later changes, and perhaps increase depending on the form, like the tank making you a tank.
I remember Sprocket being one of my most desired skylanders when i was a child. She just seemed like the embodiment of the tech element, which is my favorite one, however i didnt own her for a long while, and when i finally did, my obsession was already over (for then). But she still holds a special place in my heart
Okay i really like playing as her in giants. I've found a good combo that works with my play style. I set up turrets and mines about and swing the rentch here and there but also making sure the turrets are up and when needed hop into one lying down mines and blowing it up. And setting up a new turret as well her play style has to fast ans quick and yes that "mine golf" was bad but after a few trys it can be useful and has great range.
Upon playing Sprocket recently, I will say that she is not for everyone. Sprocket is nowhere near as bad as the worst Skylanders I have ever played, but her lacklustre move set and how slow she can build up her turrets makes her the weakest out of the 8 cores. Edited: Her Tank can deflect damage from enemies in Giants and Trap Team, which was completely forgo in Vicarious Vision’s games and Imaginators.
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and I love your videos! I've been trying to get back into Skylanders for quite some time but some of your vids actually are pretty useful. But I wanted to ask if you could do a video on one of my personal favorite trap team members lob star, he is a very personal favorite of mine and I love his character so much, again love your videos and hope you do more amazing videos like this in the future!
Well if you play alone Sprocket is garbitch. But if you play with friends it could be really fun. For example my friend and i played always a flashwing sproket comb and it was hideous. I would love to see a video which shows some cool a powerful Skylander combinations if played together. And to clear up what i mend when i said flashwing sproket comb we did the following. 1. Sproket builds a turret and flashwing protect her 2. Flashwing set up her beacon and stands next to sprokets turret. 3. Sproket builds another turret and go’s in to tank mod 4. ??? 5. Profit
I think Sprocket is painfully average but she is the worst skylander in the 3DS games. Her slow paced attacks and building skills go against the fast-paced platforming gameplay of the 3DS games. Unfortunate fact: my brother is a Sprocket fan.
Description about a pokemon revealed in the newest trailer: SPOILERS if you don't want to read anything about it until you play the game "Ceruledge dons an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy. In battle, these blades transform into great swords to increase Ceruledge's power. Cuts from these great swords leave wounds from which life energy will flow." Does this sound exactly like Chop Chop to anyone else?
Ok... Now I am just sad that their isn't something in tank mode at least in the games with jumps, where you can do a mine jump by running a mine over with your tank, maybe with an AOE when you slam down.
I’ve heard a statement about sprocket and I agree with it. The statement was that she would be better if she was in the tank the whole time. My move set for if she was in the tank would be her first move being shooting, her second one being dropping the mines, and her third one being her popping out a turret.
Sprockets abilities are fun i really like her, her design could use some work but besides that she's awesome, why don't people like her, all i see is a skill issue
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.
The Return that we need but really Sprocket is like how you say Slow and you have to focus with the Tanks but for some reasons i find she is like more a Charge Character but yeah she is Bad
I might be condemned for this but I really like unpopular skylanders and hate most really popular ones, gearshift is my least favorite favorite trap master and head rush is my fav, I don’t think I’m being a contrarian, I think gearshift’s movesrt is just boring and unfun.
I could never hate sprocket. I wont deny that her moveset is nowhere near as good as it could be, but it works well enough to be usable. She was one of the first 3 skylanders ive ever played as (others being thumpback and stumpsmash) and was my go-to during my first playthrough of giants with my sister.

Sprocket arguably works best for people who are Engineer mains in Team Fortress 2.
That perfectly explains why my brother likes Sprocket.
I switch between Pyro and Engineer so that’s why I don’t have a problem with her.
I remember when I first got my Sprocket, my family got her, then we went out to dinner, and I took her out of the box and placed her at the empty 4th seat at the table and it was a pretty fun time
I’m sorry but that’s incredibly wholesome

I will never get the hate for this character - _well_ I will, that being, *slow* - and yeah, and I wish Sprocket could act a little quicker.
That will never outweigh the fun factor of the turrets, tanks, and mines to me though.
I also liked Sprocket because of the tank.
Always puts a smile on my face when I see a new basically drop, love these.
Aww, same here, I getcha! ^^
Tbh I’ve never hated sprocket. She might have low damage but I found her to be fun to play with
I never got it either, I always thought she was fun
Sprocket is genuinely one of my favorite skylanders of all time, I was honestly shocked when I first joined the Fandom and found out how widely loathed she is
Sprocket is one of my favourite skylanders, I expect why people don't like her but that won't stop me from enjoying her
why are you always lying
He’s not lying can’t you just accept what we all like
Sprockets not even the wort skylander
I LOVE sprocket, and always have. I never understood why she was so hated. I will admit though, arena battles aren’t her strong suit…

Sprocket is probably my second favourite Skylander. She was really helpful to me during the Brock arena challenges, as her tank path made her really powerful.
Hot Take: I like sprocket gameplay and lore wise
I remember thinking Sprocket was good, then I used her on the first Kaos arena battle and lost in the first wave...

Moral of the story, most turret characters live and die by their turrets.

Can you do Fright Rider next?

Hey Activision, give her better attack speed, build speed, and knockback. That would make her actually good.
Health too
5.5/10 proves that there are so many amazing skylanders so sprocket is just average
