I would kill for a dirty fighting powerset

I propose!
Street fighting be an alternate animation set for Energy Melee.
I see stuns being the side-effect of this kind of fighting anyway, so why not? And also, an Energy Melee option without ponpoms.
Going for a kinda muay thai flavour here, but I'm easy on specifics.
Barrage and Energy Punch can stay as is, but with a ponpomless option.
Bone Smasher becomes a half-back spin and a braced elbow to the throat (stepping around with the back foot while one hand shoves the other arm forward, elbow first).
Whirling hands becomes a mid level spin-kick or something. Meh.
Total focus: Hold both hands out (either just out or on the shoulders of your victim if applicable), half crouch in preperation, then pull back arms and do a jumping knee to the face.
Stun: Would be the kick-to-the-groin power. Nice wind-up as you step in close for that solid feeling.
Energy Transfer: Headbutt. Nough said. Even the health sacrifice makes sense.
OMG! How like, totally kewl are these characters?!1

Also, you probably didnt know this but some of the greats in the comic book world were originally "street fighters." Biggest one to come to mind is Batman, who originally (as in before they reinvented him as a martial arts guy) was a boxer with street flav. Yeah, look it up. |
To any Dev who may be reading:
You know what to do.
I think they created the new martial arts animations for this exact situation.
Tastes like the underside of a bridge in here.
Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.
So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
