Wait...it just looks like regular run?

Sound like he just wants something that looks like the basic Sprint power but works like the Ninja Run power works. Sort of like a "half-speed" version of Super Speed (without the glow obviously).
Seems a bit lackluster as a power that's borderline more "super" than what an average human could do but who am I to judge.

Yep, looking just like regular run and jump, because while I'd like a more sprinty, athletic run and jump that's not so niche as the Spidery Ninja Run or the All-Fours Beast Run, let's be honest we're not going to get new animations just for that.
So, in the name of possible expediance and likelihood that it might be delivered, I'm suggesting they give us the Mechanics of Ninja Run without the Animations, pure and simple, because I love the mechanics of NR but hate the Animations enough that I'd pay for a single power alternative.
And Yes I can have Super Jump (but doesn't run as fast as NR) and Super Speed (doesn't jump as fast as NR), but I'd rather have that middle of the road travel ability that does 'pretty good' at both (and that it doesn't take any extra slots is just gravy)
Something like this?

Heck Yeah I'd love to have those animations, but I figure it maybe 'slightly' more likely that we could get a version of NR that uses already-existing animations. In lieu of those uber running poses, I'd "settle" for the standard running/jumping animations we have to be used on a Ninja Run-type power...and I'd pay them for it. |

Good idea. Personally I don't like the look of ninjarun. It looks more like sneaky for me not fast and heroic.

Sounds like the OP wants an Acrobatic Run. Basically NR without the arms swept back animation.

Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.
Yes I do. Ninjas are sneaky but ninjarun is fast. So it would fit greatly for some stealthy toons but now almost everyone uses that.

Exactly! And without the Dracula Pose when not running, and without the Spider-Man look when jumping. While I'd love some more graceful acrobatic animations in place of it, I realize that Brand New animations are unlikely, so I'd settle for the the existing default run/jump animations but with NR stats.

Love the images linked up thread.
For a run like this, I'm personally bullish on the name [bionic run]. Something that lands between those images of classic speedsters and the way the two antagonist terminators moved in movies 2 and 3 when sprinting. The jumps should not involve flips IMO but look more like either hurdling, long jumping or if it was possible with the current engine, a hand plant into a solid steeple chase style leap.
Also bionic run's idle should be stoic, sharply looking from side to side--befitting either a cyborg or a golden age style hero.

Don't get me wrong - I'd love to have those Animations crafted on (or as an option, when PP cust. comes) to any of the non-Flying movement powers. I simply don't see them doing new animations anytime.|

So, concerning Ninja Run, it's the perfect travel power for certain hero types; those who are more than human but aren't Superman (flying), Hulk (jumping for miles), Flash (blazing speed), or Nightcrawler (teleporting). Howwever, all Heroes who aren't Superman, Hulk, Flash, or Nightcrawler aren't Ninjas or Beastmen either. A Ninja Run Clone that uses existing running/jumping Animations but Ninja Run stats would be well received by the CoX community, in my opinion.

If it ain't broke set it on fire, then say it was a fault in the design.

I'd kill for the Ghoul running animation. It would just work so well with the huge body type.

Okay, we have Ninja Run -- Great Power (and exactly what I want for several characters), but Animations are very niche, as has been discussed ad nauseum.
And now we have Beast Run coming, which I assume will be just like Ninja Run 'cept a different animation. Again, very cool, but very niche. Still, the fact that it's coming gives me hope of other 'Ninja Run Clones' maybe becoming available.
Well Devs, if you make a Run Power that in all ways was identical to these, but used Default Running and Jumping animations (call it Athletic Run, I don't care), I'd buy it the second it hits the store. Even if that was the only thing I was buying (not part of any other pack).
If it was part of the Party Pack (since that has basketball and soccer ani's, not out of the question), I'd buy that pack yesterday.
Make it so Nows
