Let me just say that I am a big fan of the Street Justice set, it's really cool! I have had a character concept for a martial-artist brute for years, but have never been able to actually play it, because Martial Arts was never proliferated to brutes. Now with Street Justice, my dream can finally become a reality!

However, there are some animations from Martial Arts that I really miss. You see, my character concept is very kick-focused, and while Martial Arts has animations for both kick and punch attacks for most of its powers, Street Justice does not. I think it would be very cool if alternate animation options were added for Street Justice that match certain Martial Arts animations. Here are a few suggestions:

* Initial Strike could use the spinning roundhouse kick animation from Storm Kick (animation time difference of 0.03s).

* Heavy Blow could use the side kick animation from Crane Kick (animation time difference of 0.6s).

* Sweeping Cross could use the spinning sweep animation from Dragon's Tail (animation time difference of 0.17s).

* Crushing Uppercut could use the awesome matrix-time flying kick animation from Eagle's Claw (animation time difference of 0.36s).

I don't know exactly how much work it is to allow alternate animations, but if they did it for Martial Arts, I hope they'd be willing to do it for a purchasable set like Street Justice!

Altering does differences takes a lot of work, going by the dev's own mouths. So... nice idea, probably won't happen? Good luck, though!

... Or just get MA given to Brutes.
