[mercanndrei]

lol it's the fantastic woman(fantastic 4)...male style

[TheMudDragon]

HADOKEN!

[Misterpipify]

looks pretty cool.

[kuklboi]

YESSSS

[Lamashtar]

Swear to god, those motions looked like Shanghai Soccer..

[djeviljd]

is it just me or is it really creepy at the end when they all laugh...

[Anwynne]

@djeviljd the devs made a joke at the end. You just can't hear it. Sorry.

[DemonFIare]

@Anwynne i think i heard it. An attendee said "I love you!" after the video was over =D

[FatalFist]

@Anwynne I thought it was one of the fans going, "Thank you!" all kid-like.

[ljtothemax]

@djeviljd you made me lol

[Frotoad]

I understand why they are that way about trademarks.. I myself still play CoH and can't stand it when I see a total rip off toon.Just thought it ironic that they themselves just did exactly what they try so hard to prevent . Kind of a "do as I say , not as I do" example to set. Regardless, thanks for the vid.. I myself am holding out for Electric Control Doms.

[Doomy23]

I don't see why everybody is complaining about the "long animation times" I think those animations just make the set seem more awesome. It gives a more dramatic flair. The same goes for Duel Pistols, that powerset's animations make me feel like I'm playing an action hero in a movie.

[Frotoad]

Funny how they are so over pretective of Trademarked characters yet they made the test toon look ALOT like Marvel Comics Speedball. ( Who at one time pretty much HAD Kinetic Melee)

[Doomy23]

@Frotoad Well they don't really have any choice on how "over protective" they are with Trademark characters. Back when people just made any Marvel or DC character they wanted to, Marvel pretty much almost sued them out of existence. I think they got off on some kind of "Public Domain" thing but they want to be careful so that they don't have any problems like that in the future.

[BigSwede7403]

The journey now before you is the final test

You've learned your lesson well.

(I can teach you no more)

There's a power deep inside you, an inner strength

You'll find in time of need.

(The Glow)

Cookies for those who get it! :D

[madcap22]

@BigSwede7403 i want to say Futurama, when Fry acheived "The Glow" after drinking s-loads of coffee

[ooMONKEYoo]

Both new sets look kind of dumb.

[Dcforlife09]

Sweet...!! ima Make a Air Bender lmao

[SelessRuil]

Maybe the animations are long because its powerful. You don't know do ya?

[MrMprint]

Excepttt.... PVP in CoX is gives no rewards, has no semblance of balance, and is utterly worthless.

Not to mention, this is just the same old animations and particle effects with different numbers attached. How sad. I used to love CoX.

Viva la Champions Online!

[tenichisoyinka]

@MrMprint sigh where to begin with how wrong you are about the animations... i dont even know ok lets start with power builders ... fck it everything in CO but might,celestial, and some supernatural share animations so dont try and bash cox using the whole same animation and particle effects cause CO does it also and this is coming from a lifetime subscribed co member ill probably be returning to cox once either this powerset is released or going rouge is released whichever comes first

[Ariamaki]

@tenichisoyinka Simultaneous release, conveniently: This will be coming out as part of GR.

[tenichisoyinka]

@Ariamaki realized that lol

[kozgear]

@MrMprint lol@ champions...

CoH PvP has no rewards? lol some more...

go troll somewhere else...

[Doomy23]

@MrMprint Look, we know how much you love cox, we're not surprised you love cox. Hell , everybody can tell you love cox. But you don't need to go blabbering on about it and how you don't like getting the "particles" that come out of cox on you.

(also Champions Online sucks balls, the only thing they did right was character creation and travel powers)

[CosmicDragon0]

@MrMprint ....hahaha. NONE of these animations have been used before FYI. And, PvP does have a reward, PvP IOS.

[blacknyx19]

blaster?????

[CosmicDragon0]

@blacknyx19 Scrapper/Brute/Tank.

[jjj0309]

It's definitely tai chi chuan.

[nimrod98]

Will they be charging for the kin powerset as well? o.o

[jgriff12345]

cant wait for this!

[moemoney012]

activation times are wayyy to long

[anthonylovecraft]

it looks more like a blast instead of a melee to me

[Yentz4]

While it looks cool, the incredibly long animations mean it will blow in gameplay.

[dajdawgzaccount]

hmm kinda seems like a short ranged powerset. I bet its ganna be a beast in PvP. And they said a PAX that they were still working on this set. They are probly going to make animation times shorter by the time its released

[moemoney012]

@dajdawgzaccount if thats true... then ill love the set because i love pvp =D

[moemoney012]

@dajdawgzaccount if thats true... then ill love the set because i love pvp =D

[moemoney012]

@dajdawgzaccount if thats true... then ill love the set because i love pvp =D

[jgriff12345]

that looks so freakin cool!

[Kojain]

Interesting.

[NYCPulpHero]

HADOKEN!

[VinceBlood]

I can't get excited about those cast times.

Plus, this is going to spawn an infinite amount of DBZ clones and raver characters. This marks the first time I've been disappointed by this game (Epic Archetype level requirement change notwithstanding).

[saki0neko]

@VinceBlood Ummmm, wait, so having DBZ clones upsets you...but having Drizzt do Urden and Grammatan cleric clones doesn't bother you in the slightest? can we say dual blades and dual pistols.

[VinceBlood]

Neither my comment nor this video have anything to do with Dual Blades or Dual Pistols. And I'm well aware of the clones. I don't want MORE to pop up. Stop trying to start internet arguments.

[saki0neko]

@VinceBlood you obviously have never seen anyone trying to start an internet argument. have fun.

[SonSmith1]

Well, I think it looked pretty.

[tacticalzen]

@TimPrettyWild

Heh...6 years isn't quite 'almost 10' but yah, it's been around a while. PvP...well, let's just say you're in the wrong game if you come to CoH for the PvP. :)

What I've always liked about CoH is that it's one of those games that draws you back with new things to do; I can be out for a few months, then I'm right back when new content hits. The devs know that we're going to try out other games, but that doesn't stop them from continually innovating and adding.

[ThouAncient]

well i should note that its mostly knock down and not the knock back..... -- I think it is a sweet looking powerset and can't wait to play it

[TimPrettyWild]

Ohh i miss the casual gaming of CoH/CoV, hope i can get my friends to pick it up some weekend.

Btw, knockbacks rocks for PVP.....

[Knightphall]

We will gladly welcome you back. XD

[TimPrettyWild]

@Knightphall

Thanks...hows the population these days, game been around for almoast 10 years, wich must make it one of the longlasters in MMO's.

And hows the PVP ballance??? Last time i played it Defeneders were way broken in PVP, same base damage as Blasters, selfheals and buffs.

[Knightphall]

@TimPrettyWild The population isn't "down" per se, but there are a lot of people playing other new games at the moment, whether it be another MMO or console game. A LOT of people came back during 2XP weekend, and plan to resubscribe when Going Rogue comes out.

I don't PVP anymore, so I can't speak on the balance too much.

But yeah, when you decide to come back, have fun. Also, there were many other things mentioned by the devs. Endgame content, incarnate levels, and more.

[TheKevinBurroughs]

There will be a new reign of DBZ clones with this set maybe?

[FirstFirstNorth]

I feel like the introductory hand-waving for the ones at 0:13 and 0:21 is a bit too long. Very cool, though.

[trackboy186]

Wow.

I like it, but those animation times were loooooooong.

[Anwynne]

@trackboy186 They didn't have the Electric control preview ready and said that the Kinetic Melee demo was "very crude" so its likely that its in the very first stage of development and will be tweaked in the coming days.

[trackboy186]

@Anwynne I certainly hope so, but Dual Pistols beta process has left me cautious with believing that they will shorten up animations.

[whooppers]

My friend was in that room!

[Knightphall]

Suck this, Champions Online!

Just joking. I'm looking forward to this set.

[MMan39]

I am sure that like SS you will be able to put knockback enhs in it to make it knockback. Unlike SS where I hated the KB I would LOVE to toss people around with this

[DispariScuro]

Some of these animations look pretty long, and repetitive. Still pretty cool though! Thanks for the vid.

[MagmaFist]

Thanks for getting this uploaded so quick. As far the animations it is ok looking. Liked Dual Pistols better but glad to see this set is knockdown not knockback.
