Superhero landing toggle

Would be awesome.  Also, some chooseable flight takeoffs and additional animations.  Maximum effort.

I'd prefer different flight poses.  Less Superman when you're using rocket books or jetpacks.

Not sure how liking a superhero landing is confusing to people. Pretty simple idea for a game that already goes out of its way to give you the full experience. Always some, I suppose.

Something like this would be cool - epic and classic superhero takeoffs, landings, and flight poses. 

 

However, flight poses were tried back in the day when the game was live, and it never worked right.  There were 4 emotes you could do while you were flying that would change your pose, but it was buggy and they didn't always do the animation, and when they did, the poses didn't look right when turning or banking.  It was just awful.  The original Devs could never get them fixed right, so they scrapped them and took them out of the game.  

 

As for takeoffs and landings - I imagine they would have to be alternate power customization options that you pick during costume editing.  Perhaps that is what would help (but not entirely fix) the flight poses.  However, the current volunteer Dev team doesn't have an animator.  All the new powers we get now are stolen animations from something that already exists in game.  So, unless you are an animator or know of one who wants to volunteer countless free hours to do it, this will probably never happen any time soon.

Then let me explain. The title simply says "superhero landing toggle". It does not specify which superhero landing, though I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you mean the three-point landing that has become popular in recent superhero movies as opposed to the two-point landings that were common in portrayals prior. Then you have for the actual OP simply "Also some chooseable flight takeoffs and additional animations". Which does not specify what flight takeoffs or animations are desired. And finally, you end with "Maximum effort". Which is supposed to mean what exactly?

"Maximum Effort" is a Deadpool reference

 

Deadpool makes multiple "Superhero Landing" references in his movies

Then let me explain since you're being such a douche over a simple post. People know what a superhero landing is. There is no need to be specific. The game is about customization after all, kinda of goes without saying. Also, Deadpool loves superhero landings and says Maximum Effort. Just a little superhero joke that went over your head. On a superhero board.

Yes, but set a timer for a long recovery.   It's really hard on the knees.
