If I can't change out the geometry for Spines then forget about it.

Just say no to banana melee!

Apart from Spines being able to use the geometry from Thorns, and Thorns being able to use the geometry from Spines (both of which can be colored), there will be at least one other set of alternate geometry/FX.

As for Martial Arts, the alternate animations we have right now are mainly punches. The idea was to provide you guys with a way to make the classic, fights with their fists and feet, super-hero that many have been asking for. That includes a new animation for assassin's strike (Assassin's Blow?).

The death of Banana Spines and Streetfighting via the Martial Arts set?

Yes, I think that's a ton of win in and of itself.

It's just brilliant

Instead of making a whole new set for Brawling, Streetfight, whatever... all of which basically accomplish what Martial Arts already does, just change the Animations! Viola, my High Kicking Kane is now Bad Leeroy Brown

Curious as to what the Powers will be called with new Animations? Super Sucker Gut Punch can't still be called Crane Kick...

Awesome, that was one of the things I was wondering about, thanks for clearing it up.

This is fantastic. It really is the answer to what us "streetfighting" proponents have been asking for. Now I have a new reason to make more MA characters.

Thanks, BAB!

Crap that sounds like the death of a street fighting set. Not saying this could make Martial arts look like a street fighting set though...

[ QUOTE ]
So, are the alternate animations available on a per-power basis, or is the choice between one whole set or the other?

LOVE more fist attacks in MA.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would assume on power basis, because Here it says
[ QUOTE ]
but it also allows you to select your colors and theme for each individual power or apply it to the entire powerset.

This is largely what I expected (though the addition of the new spines geometry is an unexpected, but welcome addition). This is sounding very good.

Regarding MA, are the powers going to renamed because of this?

Also, what about Dragon's Tail?



I'm guessing Crane Kick's alternate animation will be Cobra Strike's.

Are the new punches really "new" or are they recycled uses of punch, jab, smite etc?

All of this is totally awesome, I will finally get to play spines without hating it, AND get my ideal solution to the missing punching Scrappers!

I think he's referring to an actual martial art technique/style where hands are used to simulate the talons of a bird of prey. It was weird for me too when I first heard, but I got used to it.

Nothing I could say would really adequately describe how full of win everything BaBs just said here is.

So I will say this.

Kind of like Psionic spines?

FTW!

I had no interest in spines before... Give me Psionic, customizable signs and I swear it will be my next alt.

hmm, does the new character creator happen to "show" animations now?

Sort of like how detailed power info has the drop down, there should be a little drop down video when I highlight a power as well showing how it looks in game in terms of animation and effects.

Seems like a logical thing if we have the ability to change some of them. Well it was always logical, but especially now.

edit: just wanted to say - good work BaB's, you are carrying the team imo.
