i honestly dont know why they chose kinetic melee, since we already have an energy melee
I'm extremely curious myself. It would be nice if it had a siphon speed type melee attack that you could double stack for lots of recharge.

Well, if it's purely Kinetic, then it would be all smash/lethal damage. It might be something like the oft-requested Psi Melee except that it's not going to be psychic. I really wanna see the video they referenced in that live podcast.

A person at PAX said it looked ranged....so gonna have to wait for the vid of it monday.
This is the quote in the thread I linked to:

The Incarnate system is supposed to be the most challenging content in the game and have commensurate rewards. |

So, if it's supposed to be a melee set, it's not so much Ken and Ryu, but Dan?

Time for more baseless speculation/wishing.
Siphon speed and power melee attacks(Fulcrum shift AoE type wold be awesome too). And maybe the Tier 9 is a Lightning Rod type PBAoE that has you expel your excess energy.
Just some thoughts. I really really wanna get some details on this set.

Sounds awesome. I've always wanted telekinetic abilities without all the purply psy effects.
*crosses fingers* Kinetic melee sounds so winsauce! I can't wait to see it!

A Kinetic Melee/Energy Aura toon would be so FAST and PRETTY.
Yep, that sounds awfully interesting to me too. I know that if it has something like Siphon Speed, that gives you a boost to recharge, I'll for sure be rolling a Kin/Regen Scrapper. More recharge for my heals please!
Staff Melee sounds awesome, too.
I saw the video. It's here:

Looks interesting. Not sure if it's ranged or not, but you barely touch your enemies. More like a melee-reach energy blast set.
Kinetic Melee reminded me of the movie Push, minus the flashy hand movements 
Looking at the video it looks cool, but will it go with Shields? It looks like it uses both hands a lot and doesn't look like it will go with shields, but I hope it does.

Looks pretty cool, but the incarnates news is even sexier.
When I saw the clip with Kinetic Melee, first thing that went through my mind...Bruce Lee. Looks pretty cool though, might even give it a try.

Low animations probably means low DPA. I suspect it's gonna suck almost as much as Dual Pistols.
So it looks like all the melee ATs will get Kinetic Melee. I'm excited, more options makes me happy.
They also said in the panel that staffs as a powerset is on the list of what they would like to do, but absolutely not details or timetables were announced for that.
This thread has a live blog of the CoX panel.
