“Let's Roll!”
    —Roller Brawl's official catchphrase

Roller Brawl is a vampire roller jammer and one of the Undead Core Skylanders in Skylanders: Swap Force.

In Skylanders: Lost Islands, she gained a winter-themed variant in December 2013 called Snowler Brawl. In Skylanders: SuperChargers, Roller Brawl was redesigned as a SuperCharger named Bone Bash Roller Brawl.

Background

Development

Early concept art depicts Roller Brawl with a number of alternative skull caps and hairstyles, including twin braids or a ponytail. Her bone armor was originally white, and she wore green-striped clothing.[2] Her early name was "Topsy Derby."[3]

Personality

Roller Brawl never gives up. Realizing that she was no match for the Drow on her own, she joined the Skylanders to fight the lovesick Kaos.[4] Her SuperChargers Quest also shows her to be extremely dedicated to her training, even guessing Buzz's orders ahead of time.

Her personality file lists her as cunning and resourceful, making her an ideal scout and spy.

Biography

Roller Brawl grew up with five older vampire brothers, who were all very big and overprotective. Being the smallest of her family, she learned how to use her speed and cunning to become one of the toughest jammers in the Undead Roller Derby League. It was during the championship match when she caught the eye of Kaos, who fell head-over-heels in love with her. But when her overprotective brothers stepped in, Kaos had them captured by Drow and taken prisoner. Roller Brawl swore revenge, but even with her impressive skills, she was no match for an entire Drow army. Having developed a strong distaste for evil, she joined up with the Skylanders to fight against Kaos – while never giving up on her search for her brothers.

Gameplay

Roller Brawl can use the claws on her gloves to slash at enemies. She can also launch her skate blades as well as use them to travel at high speeds. After dashing, she headbutts enemies to deliver a high amount of damage. She can even closeline enemies while dashing and - when her Soul Gem is purchased - create a cursed energy link between herself and an enemy.

Should a Portal Master choose the Shadow Skater path, Roller Brawl gains enhanced Derby Dash abilities. With the Pirouette and Bullrush abilities, she can extend her dash attack in several ways, by either repeatedly spinning or by charging an enemy and then continuing her dash with absolute aggression. With the Hardened Helm, she gains more Armor.

Should a Portal Master choose the Skateblade Siren path, Roller Brawl gains enhanced Skateblade abilities. While the attack itself doesn't get any more powerful, she can use them in more ways, such as creating a protective field around her that slices through enemies or dropping them behind her during a Derby Dash to immobolize her enemies. With the Critical Claws, she gains a boost in her Critical Hit chance.

Regaredless of which upgrade path is chosen, Roller Brawl - rather appropriately - focuses exclusively on offense, though with different benefits and through different methods.

In Skylanders: Battlecast, Roller Brawl is a rare Skylander card with high damage output and many abilities relating to moving from sidelines to the front. Her Special Ability is Fearsome Charge, which allows her to deal extra damage to the opponent in the one turn, dealing more if she switched in that turn. Her signature Gear are the Blades of Gory, which damage the active enemy when she switches.

Trivia

  • Roller Brawl was inspired by the sport of Roller Derby.[5]
    • When Roller Brawl appears after being placed on the Portal of Power, a starting whistle is heard, as an allusion to the whistle in Roller Derby.
  • During development, Roller Brawl wasn't well-received due to her bad controls and missing VFX.[6]
  • Her claws bear a resemblance to X-23 from the X-Men comics.
  • She and Eye-Brawl both have the word "Brawl" in their names.
    • Coincidentally, they are both Undead Skylanders.
  • Both her regular and Supercharger counterpart involve hearts flying all over the place. For regular Roller Brawl, it's Skateblades. For Bone Bash Roller Brawl, it's Love Bites and Brawling Out.
  • Her eye appearance is inconsistent between her portrayals. In her official art and toy form, her eyes are white with pink irises, in-game, her irises glow brightly, and in her Soul Gem video, they barely have any color at all (besides a dark gray).
  • She, Bat Spin and Night Shift are the only three vampire Skylanders.
  • She was originally going to be sleeveless in her early development.
  • Her name is a play on the 1975 movie title, "Rollerball".
  • Even though Roller Brawl lacks black pupils, she is shown to have them from her Soul Gem Trailer and Trap Team Intro.
  • Her voice actress, Cree Summer, provided the voices of Susie Carmichael from Rugrats and All Grown Up, Valerie Gray from Danny Phantom, Numbuh 5 from Codename: Kids Next Door, as well as being the first actress for Cynder in The Legend of Spyro series.
    • In SuperChargers, her voice actress is uncredited.
  • She is the second Skylander to have her hair in a braid (the first one being Stealth Elf).
  • In Trap Team, her character icon is the exact same as the one in SWAP Force instead of her concept art.
  • In the Skylanders: Swap Force Master Eon's Official Guide handbook, it incorrectly states that her Soul Gem is in Iron Jaw Gulch.
  • She, Chill, Déjà Vu, and Stealth Elf are currently the only four female Skylanders with a Legendary counterpart.
  • In Skylanders: Imaginators, after purchasing her Soul Gem, if you go into selfie mode and zoom in on the back of her helmet, you can see the Undead element symbol.
  • Her name was originally going to be Topsy Derby in development. The name was later given to one of her teammates in Biting Back.
  • In Battlecast, one of her attacks is similar to Smolderdash's catchphrase.
  • She and Fryno are the only Swap Force-debuting core Skylanders to recieve new reposed figures in its sequels.
