Hurl & New Animations


CryoTech

So, as I do when I don't feel like playing, but I'm bored, I tinker with builds and come up with ideas for new characters. With the new animations coming out, I've been getting more ideas.

But something irked me. There is no alternative animation for Hurl in the Super Strength set.

To keep a random story short and sensible, I thought of something.

I wonder if it would be possible if the alternate animation could be like almost a side arm throw of the chunk you just lifted out. One handed or two.

Like, instead of lifting it over your head, you pull it out of the ground, step forward and chuck it sideways?

I was kinda disappointed to see no alt animation for it, and I did a quick scan to see if there was a SS thread to post it there but either I missed it or didn't see it.

No bother.

Random thought.

Just wanted to say it before I lost it.

What do you guys think?

I'd kinda like it if you could hurl other things, randomly taken from a pool of images like Propel has. I don't use the power, or at least, have never had a toon high enough to get it, but it'd be kinda fun to change it up a bit.

Also: remember that what I did videos of at the con, may not be the 'final' products - there may be way more, just not ready at that time. So they may yet have something up their sleeve, I dunno!

OOOOH.

I think a "pick something up and spin around to let it go" animation would be awesome.

I'd be happy if they allowed us to do the animation that shield users have, its really not that bad of an animation and its something new to add to the list of animations and it already exists in game.

Personally, I find that animation to be semi awkward. I may be weird, or in the minority here, and I understand why they did it that way...

...but...

it's like "squat, rip, toss"...

it feels awkward to me.

I would have done it as a flip toss. That is, the character digs his hands into the ground then swings both arms up, flipping a big chunk of rock up and at the foe.

I just hope they think of something. I'm sure they will though, the Devs are clever like that. :-D
