Samurai: It was a player, not an NPC. I know, since I was playing him! He is a Spines/Regen scrapper.

The power: What you are seeing is actually a graphics bug created by the demo-record/playback process we use to take screenshots.

And now you know!

But see how much cooler Spines looks without giant bananas sticking out of you?

And now we know...The mystery was so much better.

So how is it all the other spines aren't showing? Another graphics glitch?

He already said. They demorecorded the battle and used the demo to take the screenshots. There's a glitch that doesn't show the body spines in the demorecord. I assume its similar to the Kheldian form glitch that happens when you do the same thing.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought what he meant by "what you are seeing" is referencing the spear like blade extending from the player's hand.

I guess the graphics bug:

1) Creates a spear like blade, and

2) Removes all other spine accoutrements?

Gideon_F · 02-23-2007 02:01 PM

Hmmmmm. Bug in demo record not showing spines...

Wonder if that bug can be turned into a feature at some point.

The blades out of the arms is a normal part of Spines.

You're all missing the point! The point is, _Castle_ has a completely doofy character concept - samurai armor and spines?!? Really?

*grin*

The point I would like the Devs to get is: how bad we all want spines to get a new look.

Seconded.
I don't need a new powerset, just make Spines bearable to look at, would have the same effect for me, one more usable set.
I really like the concept behind it, i even tried it, for all of six levels, then the hideous look made me delete the char.

At least a Spines Samurai kinda makes sense. Better than a samurai that has wind powers whose name is.... Samurai

Ahh Superfriends, the memories.

Pretty much. Spines looks so ridiculous.

I tried to start a thread about it not long ago, and it just died. I am hopeing that this one catches more attention.

To buck the trend, I like the look of Spines as is. Not all powers should be clean-looking.

I would guess they like being able to record the whole thing, then go back and review frame by frame to find the one they like best.
