The Finish Line Has Been Crossed

I have no freaking words to say this. I am so dang speechless. I have no words on how I get to the point in time when I became dedicated to unlocking things. Between you and me, unlocking everything is key to making real fun happen. This makes me a pro of unlocking things. It's called dedication. I only play Competitive rounds to earn badges to unlock Heroes and Powers, not to win or lose. It's called playing Competitive for fun purposes.

Now, I am glad that I have officially unlocked every Hero and Power on Crash Team Rumble to cross the finish line. In fact, I was able to unlock every last one of them before the Super Bowl. I can watch it with a clear mind now that I have access to every Hero and Power. But for the remainder of Season 3 because more Heroes and Powers are coming in future Seasons. Going forward, I will unlock them during their Early Access as long as I am an active PS Plus member because without it, I can't play since it is online only and not free-to-play. I plan to get the Steam version of Crash Team Rumble since I am getting a gaming computer with a good amount of hertz if they ever port it to Steam so that a paid membership wouldn't be required to do online multiplayer since Steam versions offer free online multiplayer on both paid and free games. But I don't have that kind of money yet.

What really surprised me is that I came across a very formidable enemy team on that match. They got the P on me that I couldn't even score a single Wumpa. They got the best of me. I have came such a flawless enemy team that got the flawless victory, in a Mortal Kombat way. Good stuff.

Another thing that also surprised me is that I was going to town with Elora on that match. She is literally kicking some serious butt with them hooves. Especially that single combat moment of Elora vs. Tawna. It was pretty dang outrageous that Elora is the Reina from Tekken 8 while Tawna is the Chun-Li from Street Fighter II of Crash Team Rumble. Their combat is A-tier and it's old-fashioned violence. Good crap. This really given me some Gormiti vibes too. This can anticipate this year's EVO Las Vegas and EVO Japan. There's Tekken 8, there's Street Fighter 6 and other great fighting games on both of the events. Except for one game only in EVO Las Vegas, which is Mortal Kombat 1, and that is because it's a fighting game franchise big in the West.

In honor of unlocking Ripto to cross the finish line on the Heroes department, I will be doing a special session where I can play as only Spyro characters and I will be livestreaming all of it. But this will be divided into two parts below.

Part 1: Play as Spyro characters in their default skins.

Part 2: Play as Spyro characters in any skin, including recolors.

This is also to encourage my support for Spyro 4, the fourth Spyro character for Crash Team Rumble (preferably Bianca), a live action film adaptation to star Chris Pratt as Spyro, Jim Carrey as Ripto and Brie Larson as Elora, who might appear in the post-credits scene to indicate that she will be featured in the sequel and for Sony to add not only Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, but also Spyro: A Hero's Tail to the classics catalog. The fourth thing may not seem to count as a desired thing, but it does because Activision may not remaster them when we want Spyro 4 to happen. Not realizing that SEGA wouldn't be a part of.

Now, let me tell you this. There was a point in time when I was a teenager, right? There was a point in time when I was a teenager, I was playing Spyro: A Hero's Tail and I was throwing tantrums every time I fail. I was struggling on the level where I had to deal with wizards. I couldn't stop throwing tantrums until I got me some Sierra Mist to calm my nerves down. I was 13 years old on that time and that applies to the situation I came across at my middle school. I just can't stop remembering that part.

And there was another point of time before this case I mentioned when I played the original release of Spyro: Year of the Dragon on the PS1. Bianca was keeping Spyro from collecting the dragon eggs, until she found the truth that the Sorceress is really using the power to kill baby dragons. That's when Bianca has gone to crap to help Spyro instead. Same with the Reignited Trilogy. This case is why I want Bianca to be the fourth Spyro character to make her debut to Crash Team Rumble so that she can meet up with Elora for the first time because she never met her in any of the Spyro games and she could be a Booster like Ripto, who I was able to unlock. This is something that Spyro 4 should have.

And this reminds me. I was watching some Tekken 8 action played on Frosty Faustings. Tasty Steve mentioned about Spyro to the co commentator who has Spyro in his screen name. That's what got me that he was also dealing with wizards. That's a Cinderella story I will never forget. But Nickelodeon? I thought it was SEGA.

Alright, folks, I present to you my random wheel containing dim portraits with the progression bar of my Hero mains in Crash Team Rumble. They are Tawna, Spyro, Ripper Roo, Elora, Dr. Neo Cortex and Ripto. There are currently six of them, two on each class, though the progression bar remains on each. But this might work out. This is gonna help me decide which Hero to play. I have two methods in using the wheel below.

Method 1: Play a match with the landed Hero. Then give the previously landed Hero a rest for one match and play the next match with next landed Hero.

Method 2: Play several matches with the landed Hero. Then give the previously landed Hero a rest and play the next several matches with the next landed Hero.

I can also use this wheel for Party Mode, but in select games, such as Get Lit!, Dig It!, What's Juicin'? and What's Cookin'?. This wheel will be updated to have more Heroes I found fun to play. The only best thing about this is that I have every Spyro character on my wheel as they are fun to play and it's to better support everything on all things Spyro the Dragon. I won't be needing the wheel during my Spyro characters only session. Instead, I can use the list randomizer.

In conclusion, the real fun starts now that I have access to all Heroes and all Powers, but for the remainder of Season 3 because there will be more of them in future Seasons. I am looking forward to find out what will Season 4 have in store for me. I hope they added a Custom Game mode when it comes to esports.
