In issue 0, the entire power set of Martial Arts had completely different animations than it does now. (I wonder where those old, now unused animations are in CoX now?)
I do not recall exactly what Thunder Kick's original animation was at this moment.
I recall Storm Kick having a pose (kamae/gamae of sorts), throw 3 kicks, and pose again and that was the end of just Storm Kick. I'll never forget this, because it was Storm Kick's entire animation time and inability to run from mobs would cause me to accrue debt early on.
Crane Kick had start up animation, but what I do not recall.
Dragon's Tail had a start-up animation of rising up to do a somersault, then came the PBAoE sweep kick.
I want to say by Issue 2, there was a complete revamp, but I don't recall exactly when that was done.
And when was Eagle's Claw power reduced from Superior to High damage?
