Arachnos Forearm Blades

Would it be possible for Brawl to become a Slash animation on characters that have the Arachnos Forearm Blades (the ones the Crab Spiders have) on their costume?

Just seems silly that those blades are never put to good use. There is precedent for this, several other costume parts and powers alter basic animations to something new.

How abut it Devs?

Not true. We cannot alter animations based on the presence or absence of a costume part.

But could an alternative animation for Brawl that used the slash animation work?
I don't play Villains, but I was just curious

I'm betting he's thinking of the difference between "regular" animations and animations for a character with the Shields powerset. Or how the brawl animation is a kick with the Bow deployed. Not even remotely the same thing as what he's asking, but... yeah...

I think people frequently confuse weapons and shields with costume parts, especially since they became so customizable.

I wouldn't mind having a slash attack for WolfCrabSpider Flea, but I can't bring myself to ask BaBs to do it. Brawl is already one of the biggest PITA powers in the game.

Any possibility of Brawl being added to the power customization so that we can specifically choose a set animation to use for it? A few of my characters would be set to that great kick animation full time instead of randomly switching if it could.

Brawl would probably be the most problematic power to customize - maybe even more than Granite and such powers.

If it IS so, it would be due to how they have brawl work now, with the alternate animations depending on your combat mode.

It would look incredibly weird if you didn't take the forearms with blades on your costume, though. About the only VEAT you could do this for would be Night Widow branch Arachnos Widows, as they always have claw attacks - but they're unlikely to use Brawl beyond the earliest levels, so it's not really worth doing.

Yeah, I kinda screwed up the phrasing there.

Brawl is one of the most complicated powers in the game. A bit ironic, don't you think?
