Urban Combat
Where is the "Kick them in the jimmies" power?

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

As I'm curious - what would the name be for the Scrapper version of Step Up, which power would you drop for a Stalker's AS and what would that be like?

Well, there was mention for a "street fighting" powerset a long time ago. No follow ups on that one, though. And I'd really like some unarmed combat without the fanciful "all kicks" style of "Martial Arts" nor the widely exagerated moves of "super strength".

Be fair: it's proper bling, innit?
It's a nice concept, but shares alot of similarity with Super Strength, unless you're looking at a more Scrapper-flavoured version of that power (as Broadsword might be considered to Axe).
If we're talking urban combat I'd like to see more use of improvised or concealed weapons - knives (lethal DoT), knuckle-dusters (smashing stun), pipes (smashing lethal knockdown), Throw-a-Brick (short range smash/lethal stun) in addition to some ugly unarmed attacks: knee breaker (Smashing Slow) and some of the attacks listed by the OP.
I like this idea, include a few knives and knuckle dusters and a "Kick them in the jimmies" power and you fot my vote =P

All taunt powers would be "step up" as there is no need for change for this one.
The assassins power would be assassins fist, the exact same animation as assassins shock but with a firey fist aura on the attacking hand.
"step up" and "trip" would be replaced by Placate and Assassins Fist, and for some reason, nobody has commented on the effects of "Gut Punch"

Search for "Street Fighting" on EU and US forums and you'll probably find quite a few posts asking for exactly what you've suggested here. Players have wanted a basic punching set for scrappers for ages and ask for it very often.
The Devs have even said they'd like to do it, some day, and I believe it was in the discussions/poll on US forums a couple of years ago that led to Dual Blades and Willpower being implemented (together with Staff/Polearms, as per your other post ).
I like the effect of "gut punch". Vomiting is one of the reasons why i'll never respec out noxious gas and elixir of live from my soldiers/poison MM.
A gut punch would also fit in a poison control powerset, where it cause moderate smashing damage and amplifies any acquired toxic DoT. Imagine the belly punch as a tool to distribute ingested poisons to the right organs.

Nah, that'd be the Chuck Norris set (T9 = Punch-out God)
When's the Chuck Norris set due? Soon(tm)?? =P
What we really need is "Grab a random object and beat the [censored] out of your opponent" power.

How come? its the only thing I could think of that suited the Brawling style of Urban Combat, its the exact same animation as assassins Claw or Shock, but he uses his fist.

i am shocked by the total lack of a headbutt power ...
a broken bottle power , the pool cue and pool ball powers , and the spitting strong spirits in the face power ....
do you people not watch TV ...!!
yes, but its hard to come by such things and keep them, then state you are a hero once you bash thier head in with them, sounds a bit like Hancock, and I can imagine it now
Citizen: Help He's robbing me!
Hero: Take this punk! *slams a bottle over a thugs head*
Citizen: you saved me, Thankyou...!
Hero: Yea great! now hand me all your money!
Citizen: Help He's robbing me!
can you see the cycle? bad news

Yeah, but you can basically pick those up once thier used and recharge them, Things that get broke...Not quite as easy.

This may have been suggested many times before, but hell, I'll say it once more with a different pitch, Urban Combat, a melee powerset that doent include weaponry like the newer types, I'm sure you'd find the effects included in this somewhat 'Different'
1) Punch (smashing damage, chance to disorient) [brawl animation]
2) Toe Kick (smashing damage, chance to know back) [kick animation]
3) Swinging Hook (smashing damage, cone) [swings fist in front creating an arc]
4) Trip (smashing damage, Knockdown) [Dragons tail animation]
5) Build up (+ DMG) [basic build up but with tarzan emote]
6) Gut Punch (smashing damage, foe vomit 3 sec delay) [boxing animation]
7) Step up (foe taunt) [taunt then beat fist animation]
8) Crippling Strike (smashing damge, foe - DMG, disorient) [strong punch to the chest]
9) Power Uppercut (smashing damage, knockup, knockback, disorient) [upercut but with a firey fist aura]
