Return of the old "Storm Kick"?

Could we be getting acces to the old version of Storm Kick. (Picture Flurry but done with on leg, while standing on the other. Like Chun Li from Street Fighter)

I wish! But the alternate animations we get will undoubtedly have the same animation times as the current attacks, as well as the same damage mechanic, thus making ye olde 'No Shadow Kick' an unlikely candidate, I'd say.

Infering from what BAB has said elsewhere, the alternate animations for SS and MA are mostly new, meaning that most of the new animations are made from scratch with a few that use old animations (probably from other powers that have the same animation times).

One thing I can GUARANTEE power customization will NOT change is animation duration and power effects. The old Storm Kick is slower than absolutely everything in current Martial Arts, with the possible exception of Eagle's Claw, and it's mostly DoT, which no Martial Arts attack does. It's highly unlikely such a thing will come true.

It looked cool, but its execution time just made it unusable.

I LOVED the old version of Storm Kick. For the same reason I like the graphics of Flurry. It's unique, colorful, and looks like you're really doing something different. The newer version looks just like a kick and is very 'meh'. I'd love it if the old version came back.

It's not as bad as you think. Flares was very much in the same camp as Flurry and Storm Kick. He revamped the graphics and the result is something that still has all the flavor of the old graphic, but animates more quickly. There's no reason why Storm Kick can't have that old flavor brought back, but executed more quickly.

It could have worked back then, all they need to do is up the damage for its animation time. It would have to do damage closer to Total Focus though.

Maybe it's not the return of the old one, but a new and updated version of it that fits the standard animation time.

I don't remember, but was it longer than Shadow Maul? That thing seems to go on FOREVER. Maybe they could alter the damage of Storm Kick or make it a cone to compensate for the time?

I miss the old Storm Kick animation, too. I remember talking to my friend about it in the office one day and telling him how awesome it felt when I used Storm Kick.

Just saw a video of the old Storm Kick, seems like it could have worked had it been sped up.

It was like a sexier shadow maul, minus the damage.

I died a lot while rooted by that interminable animation....

[/ QUOTE ]well, the deal is, altering the damage would change the power, and that would kind of kill the idea of interchangeable animations. so while it might have been cool to see it turned into a cone like maul, that might be for a more ambitious idea to add more then the 9 powers.
