I always liked that animation.

Outright deleted? I'd think not - hope not.
Worst case scenario they could probably rip it off a release copy of the game however

It was a good one, the timing made it unweildy for an attack at its tier and damage level, but if reused for a longer animation, i would not have a complaint. even using a part of it, like the hook kick part with a different opener would be nice. I was thinking if, since we now have alternate animations, it could return for a longer animation power. if we get pool alt anims, id say it would be a good alt for flurry.
I think the devs should use the old Storm Kick animation as an initiative to slighty revamp MA. Make Crane Kick a cone, possibly 45 degrees, possibly 90 degrees 5 opponents max perhaps with reduced damage. That'd give MA more AoE and give it AoE in the first place for Stalkers. Cool animation nonetheless.

The "problem" with the old Storm Kick animation is basically the same one as what you get with Flurry/Shadow Maul/Sands of Mu ... in that if you MISS, the old Storm Kick animation becomes "Smell My Foot" silly. It's basically a Chun Li Lightning Kick. It would make a decent alternate animation for Jump Kick out of the Leaping Power Pool though.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Why you showed me that?
I want that animation back NAO!
The original design for Martial Arts was ridiculous. I don't know what it was intended to invoke, but it was at least 50% posing, waiting and essentially delaying. When they remade the animations by cutting out the pauses, Storm Kick had to go entirely because it was the one animation which couldn't be shortened any. It's somewhat... Odd that they did this to Martial Arts in 2004, yet these days sets get made where most of their animations are LONGER than what Martial Arts was back in the day. Dual Pistols come to mind. What the hell?
As for Storm Kick, I was honestly never a fan of it. It's a bit goofy. Still, if it showed up in a new set, I wouldn't complain. I mean, half of Titan Weapons is borrowed from Katana and Ninja Blade, so why not?

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

They should have it as an alternate option. Either for Storm kick or for another power somewhere else. I believe someone mentioned jump kick, which I like that idea.|

It'd be nice if the animation(s) could be broken up such that the initial strike plays when the attack is clicked, and then the rest of the animation only played if the attack hit.

Well I just find it odd that the animation has *NEVER* been reused.
1) So was it deleted? Does it no longer exist? Not a single enemy in the game uses the animation... or the old MA for that matter.
2) Or perhaps is there a copyright or intellectual property associated with the animation? I mean we've seen this with things like the Prestige Power Slide that it can't be resold or used.

I had completely forgot about that animation. Much like the others, I'd love to see it return in some way, shape or form. (Smell my foot silly or not, it adds *flair.*)
