Definitely an option I would like to see.
Street Justice's Initial Strike and Heavy Blow both have alternating animations. Would be a real nice option to pick and choose the animation you want...or keep them alternating if you wanted.

If you opt for that setting, sometimes your Super Strength character would Foot Stomp and sometimes he'd use the alternate Ground Punch animation.

This seems most workable with animations, because the range of choices is pretty limited. might work better than random colors. I leave it to the reader whether a variable color scheme for custom colored powers would be too resource intensive (I can imagine that reporting new colors each time to all players within view might strain the server). |

I always kind of wanted the fire-hands animation for Breath of Fire in Fire Melee.

BaBs (pretty sure it was him) wasn't talking about the alternating left/right animation (although, that might factor into it, but he didn't mention that aspect). I'd certainly like to see this... especially if you can turn different animations off/on, and it'll randomly play from those... assuming there's more than 2 options (is there none?
)

The game's certainly improved in technology since BaB and Jack were last here. I'm sure it can be done sometime in the future.

I always thought Titan Weapons' animations had alternates depending on whether or not the character has built momentum.
I guess I was wrong, and it's just a sped-up animation.

Yeah part of the animation is cut and the rest is sped up, that's the only difference.|

I too think this could be kind of neat, would certainly make things feel a lot more dynamic.
