More offensive Unarmed KICK attacks please

avianos

Mackenzie, is One of my characters whose build theme is around Kick attacks (as Counterpart to Rylan who is using only Fist attacks)

The problem is that the Kicks from Unarmed are way too few and most of them are either for Crowd Control, AoE, Dodge and Avoidance and Knocks

I personally was using Thundering Kicks as Combo, and Dragon Kick as MAIN attack

But Dragon Kick is an AoE and does awfully low damage if you try to use it as Single target in a Boss, so it's not reliable ALPHA attack due to the AoE factor

Personally I would like to see attacks like
Super Smash Bros >Ganondorf's Volcano Kick<, which could work this way in champions

Volcano Kick: (Alt name Hammer Kick)
Power Type: Close Attack
Method: Tap , Charge (<- Obviously)

(Rank 3) 319-1253 Crushing (and maybe more since it's will be Alpha Spike attack)

Possible Advantages this power can Have

1. ADV that turns this power into Cylinder AoE and KNOCK DOWN all the enemies
2. ADV that makes this attack deal Dimensional Damage or Fire Damage
3. ADV that makes this power KNOCK BACK the enemy
4. Clipping Challenge Accelerated Metabolism (CC on AoE adv, will only Taunt the main target)

(here is a .Gif of the Kick as well, in case the Video wasn't enough)


another Unarmed Kicks need, is a Decent 360 AoE
>Tatsumaki< From Street Fighters comes in my Mind!

Tatsumaki: (Alt name Hurricane Kick)
Power Type: Close Attack
Method: Maintain
Area of Effect: 10 foot sphere
Max. Targets: 5
Stat Scaling: Melee Strength Scaling
360 attack and doesn't require Target (just like Sword Cyclone)
+395 + Crushing Damage per .5 sec

Basically take the Sword Cyclone and make it Spinning Kick

Possible Advantages this power can Have

1. A similar ADV like Sword Cyclon Butcher's Blades, which turn Tatsumaki into charge power instead of maintain
2. Small Knock back
3. Challenging Strikes and Accelerated Metabolism

(and here is a .GIF as well, since Animated visuals are precious for forums)


Those are the power I WANT to see ingame!

Any other suggestion from players is welcomed here


Please DEVs, give us more powers

I'd certainly like to see a lunge sliding kick to knock enemies up or a jump kick that sends enemies flying or stuns them.

Hurricane Kick? Yes please! More good melee sphere aoe is always welcome XD

raighn

I'd love to have Hurricane kick on my kick based MA character... a maintained AoE is always welcomed

wrathsoul1

I'd rather have a nutshot. A fighter who trains for combat or self-defense always keep their feet on the ground.

Mighty Kick is supposed to be a gut kick, but you could envision it being a rather vicious low blow (it is the highest no-cd single target dps kick atm.. if you count its knock immune multiplier on full charge, that is).

that gif, looks like the guy is lifting his leg and farting a lot

There was one kick in CoH I could never get enough of. I think it was called Crane Kick. Just a fast and powerful side kick that did great damage, but the best parts were the visceral sound effect and the knock back. My friend and I used to enjoy trying to line up each kick so it'd send the mob flying right into each other's cameras.

The Haymaker of kicks. That's what we need. Minus the long charge time.

Yes I love street fighter, but these kicks would be neat to see incorporated into Champs (if they haven't already :P)

fudgemonsta

Actually that bottom one we have. Inexorable Tides, is the name if I recall right.

spinnytop

I'm sure someone mentioned it... but basically Chun-Li's rapid kick attack; kick version of 100 hands basically, maybe with chance to apply disoriened or staggered on each tick.


Also, just generally more energetic combos? Thundering Kicks is slow and very plain...it's kind of sad that the most energetic martial arts combo attack in the game belongs to Dual Pistols.

I'd love it if Thundering Kicks was changed to look like something you would see Hwoarang pull off in Tekken. Right now it looks like something a white belt pulls off while practicing on a punching bag in karate class.

I think the same way, Thundering Kicks looks more like the animation of an Energy Builder, really dull for Combo! (BTW kicking Energy Builder, make it happen)

And Yeah Bullet Beatdown is freaking awesome, feels really powerful :biggrin:

OH MY GOD! I WANT THEM! I WANT THEM ALL INGAME :eek:

(The last one already exists, it's Inexorable Tides)

Yep, and... Take a look at Thunderbolt Lunge and tell me it doesn't look like the second one to some degree.


I would love to have that first one.

rugrothrumbor

Energy builder with just kicks in it.

caseylain

Bump. At the very least bring up thunder kick's dps.

spinnytop

I want a spinning back heel kick that is a powerful single target knock on the level of Haymaker.

sykov

It would be great to see a Muay Thai Roundhouse kick (or a step-kick from Tae Kwon Do) with the same damage/effects as Haymaker.

spinnytop

Also I want Hwaorang's Hunting Hawk combo.

fenrir4life

Axe Kick could honestly just be a reskin of the elbow drop and it'd be a potent addition to the kick arsenal.

ngeluz

I think most powers treys are missing either more animations, re-skins or just more just more um... well, powers I guess... We have all this villians that can do Melee punches with Particle, Psi Pink gloves or even Dimentional damage... Starting with more kicks would be a really good start

spinnytop

The great part is they wouldn't necessarily even have to think up new powers... just copy past current power mechanics and add the new animation! Like a lunging side kick version of Burning Chi Fist. Or like someone mentioned, axe kick version of elbow drop. A flip kick version of Dragon Uppercut.

I WANNA DO SOME KICKING!

Hyakuretsukyaku

Like 100 Hands but with KICKS!

This. Bristol Stomp just doesn't look right punching for his EB.
