Kinetic Melee = Psi Melee

For me, there are two ways to do a psi melee set: like Ermac/Kensi's special moves of tossing folks around with their minds, or like Psylocke and manifesting weapons made of psionic energy. Both are viable in this game... and the first could have longer animations so that might be the winner

This idea was so awesome, I just stole it for my new KM/WP brute, Psyphonic. 'She' is a former praetorian seer's mind trapped in a clockwork body. So much fun.

Glad you guys like it

I'm quite fond of the character concept myself, worked out really well.

I'm just wondering how Concentrated Strike looks with a shield >.> IMO a lot of the KM animations look silly, but are toned down a lot with the shield. So, KM/SD is perfect for me, but I think CS looks really silly. I'm hoping it looks a lot less arm-wavey with a shield.

You.. realise that's exactly what I was saying with the first post in the thread, right? -.-

Ok I kid...but I started saying "HADOKEN!" with my KM street fighter Ryu attack.

Now if they only added a Dragon Upper cut and whirling kick! wooot.
Actually, yes. And if you color it dark purple and red, you can even recreate something that looks like Akuma/Gouki's Satsui no Hadou (Dark Hadou).
