Xeres Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 I am requesting a superhero landing animation should your decent be over... say 15 feet - enabled in game options. That's it. 3

biostem Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 I kind of feel like this would have to be implemented as a toggle power - perhaps a custom sprint-like power; I'm basing this off of how Ninja Run gives you different jumping behaviors and such.
El D Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 An alternate stance (like Blitz, Parkour, etc.) that plays the animation after jumping could possibly work. Though, it could also be done through emotes. Make a bind or a macro, hit it when you land from a jump. Granted, this would require that we have a suitable 'superhero landing' emote to use (the Rest stance could definitely work in a pinch). Of the two, I figure emotes are more likely. Puts the activation directly in the player's control of when it happens and how long they stay in the position, rather than superhero landing every single time they jumped. Given how quickly it'd have to happen then bounce them back to 'default standing/ready for combat' with an alternate stance, that seems like it might get a bit silly (not that CoH doesn't readily allow for silly). Either way, it'd be fun to mess around with! I'm here for it. 1 Global is @El D, Everlasting Player, Recovering Altaholic.
Six-Six Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 Given that even superheroes don't execute their superhero landings that often... only for dramatic entrances... you can jump (or fall with grace) and then hit Mighty Judgement. It should animate WHEN you land and not before or during your descent. Should allow you to make THAT entrance. 😃 My Toons

Rudra Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 "He's gonna do it! Super Hero Landing. Ooh, that is so bad on the knees." This is probably doable as an alternate animation. It would require a new inherent animation menu for jumping/landing though.

Though it may be the 1st one. Been a while since I watched them. Basically, the character lands on one knee with the other knee forward, and one hand on the ground.

This is probably doable as an alternate animation. It would require a new inherent animation menu for jumping/landing though. I think it's the steam or piston boots that have an effect when you land. The question is whether whatever checks for that can then force an animation on the entire character model, (as opposed to the simpler cloud of steam).

Then of course you may need one based on "the Greatest American Hero", skidding to stop, sliding on your face would be suitably dramatic, and would be replaced with a standard landing after level 20. 2 " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

Arc-Mage Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 Yep, I posted the Deadpool video on the beta forums. The idea was well received by others. Not sure is anyone in charge looked at the idea tho. My suggestions was using the "Fist" version of Foot Stomp or the Incarnate Mighty Judgment animation on landing.

Xeres Posted September 22, 2022 Author Posted September 22, 2022 Oh I'm sure it had been suggested prior. I support any previous suggestions.
biostem Posted September 22, 2022 Posted September 22, 2022 Y'know what might work well - we have a ninja leap costume change animation - what if this was implemented as a regular emote, (as well as a costume change one)? Maybe have a version without you doing the offscreen leap, and you can tie it into the deactivation of a power or something...
