Are the i0-i1 Katana & Storm Kick animations still in the game files?

[Chance Jackson]

If so is there anyway we could have them made available some how? I'd love the opportunity to alternate between 1 hand & 2 hand animation in icon on a per power basis, I know the baked in redraw time in Katana was removed vastly buffing the set so I don't know if that would pose a challenge to adding those animations as alternates.

 

I never disliked the old storm kick, I'm sure there is some way to use the animation if it still exists.

The "old" Katana animations were just the Broad Sword animations, so they're still around.  They never looked right for Katana though.

Yes but "sped up" IIRC

In the pre-differentiated animation days they were literally the same animations in every way.  The only differences were the weapon models used.

Interesting I thought Kat was faster back then, Did Katana get rebalance to account for the sped up animations? (I didn't roll up Kat or BS until after the changes)

Bearing in mind that it's been fifteen years so I might not recall perfectly, katana had slightly lower damage and endurance costs for the powers than broadsword.  The animations were the same, but the values were not, as I recall.

I see, thx.
