So whatever happened to the old Storm Kick animation? Was it deleted? Does it still exist in a file?
One of my very first characters way back in Issue 1 had that power but the animation seemed very long and if you missed it became a "let me fan your face with my foot".

Lets solve this: Is it possible to still demo record this animation? If so, how many frames is it? That would tell us the cast time. Sadly, I have never demo recorded so not sure how to even find this power.
No different then Shadow Maul and Flurry which stayed. And it couldn't have had a longer cast time then the Total Focus line of animations.

I want that old animation as an alternate animation for MA.
I wonder if that's still available in the democode... might need to check!

I miss the old Dragon's Tail - the one where you jumped in the air and did a flip before getting low and doing the leg sweep.

Hah! that kick makes me giggle.
perma jump is ---> /up 1
In beta, Flurry + Storm Kick was my speedsters attack chain
I believe the same animation ID is being used, but the actual animation definition has been changed. The data could still be scrounged up from the launch CD, though.

So was it deleted? Or was there some weird legal issue and it could never be reused?

Also - I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a temp power called 9-Iron - minimal damage and really terrible accuracy but mag 60 KB if it connects. Have a vendor in AP sell it with a Hellion Golf Venue.

Hmm... That might be the reason it went bye-bye but Flurry stayed, in addition to being absolutely horrible from a DPA standpoint, it was similar to... Raiden? From Mortal Combat? I didn't play the game so I'm not sure. They might have axed it because of possible legal action.

It wasn't a potential lawsuit worry, it was more the "You stand still for 3-4 seconds flailing your leg about. And Crane Kick was this big stance, while in the middle of a fight, you're getting beaten on. It didn't feel very fast.

if i remember the past, people really just didnt like how long the animation was, it sacrificed too much time if the kick missed doing nothing. a whiff meant a long time swinging in the breeze for a power with low damage and only a single target. many people suggested making it a cone effect, but the devs instead just made a new animation.
Yes, the demofile MOV command still works!

Combine the two, the opening stance of old Crane Kick, then the one-thousand kicks of Storm Kick! Ship it as a single-target Judgement, quarter of the recharge, double the damage and stupidly high base tohit! I'd use it

So how do we convince them to put them back into the game is some manner?
Something witty and profound
Remember the old storm kick animation? If not check it out here:

Its actually a REALLY cool attack. However, I find it odd its NEVER reappeared again. To my knowledge, no NPC in the game even has it. In fact, I am not sure if its possible to do a demo record using the animation?
So was it deleted? Or was there some weird legal issue and it could never be reused? I wouldn't even mind seeing NPCs with it...
But man it would of been cool if the Fighting Tier 5 attack was the old Storm Kick animation.
