Rolling - What's The Point?

In the first Spyro game, R2 and L2 (I think? Or was it R1 and L1?) make Spyro roll. It's uber fun, but does anyone here know the real gameplay reason for the thing? Was it just to have something for those buttons to do?

Perhaps it's like a Strafe, for dodging? No idea. Input, plz~ <3

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

I always thought it was for dodging opponents, though I never used it for that - I used it for fun XD;

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

I used it for evading boss attacks, especially Gnasty's. But it's nothing else much.

Shame they removed it on the 2 and 3.

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

I think I'm the only one here who REALLY used it 0_o

Well it was helpful...really good against the Suits of armour in Haunted Towers(fast whacks),and against dodgeing Big Gnorc attacks.

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

I used it for fun when fighting Gnasty Gnorc. And to avoid the canonballs in Peace Keepers home. But I think it works better to just jump out of the way, actually.

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

Actually, it works against some enemies.

The wolf hounds in Toasty take two hits, one flame hit wakes them, just roll and the dog will miss Spyro, then burn the mutt with a second flame.

I'm sure it can be used against other enemies effectivly, but it is a useful ability.

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

I never bothered with it, but like what other people said, it was meant for dodging enemies. I always just played around with it, and made him roll all over the place. XD

Re: Rolling - What's The Point?

Yeah, I thought that it was there to dodge, but kept forgetting it was there and never used it.  I also never realized that it was taken out in Spyro 2 and Spyro 3.  And yeah, it was a lot easier just to jump out of the way anyways...
