Thunder Kick Alt Animation

[VPrime]

Thunder Kick and Storm Kick share the same activation time. 

 

Storm Kick has an alternate animation "Gut Punch".

 

Thunder Kick does not have an alternate animation to choose from.

 

I suggest simply giving Thunder Kick the same "Gut Punch" alternate animation. 

 

That way people can further customize their Martial Arts character.

It's the only single target attack from Martial Arts that doesn't have an alternate animation!

     I remember what Thunder Kick looks like from experience but not from recent gameplay because nobody with a good build takes it.  Martial Arts (the melee powerset) has SIX (SEVEN on Stalkers) SINGLE TARGET ATTACKS, and even if you only look at the best 6 powers you have way more than a full attack chain.  Thunder Kick is objectively the worst power in the set with terrible DPA and no use-case for taking it.  Adding an alternate animation wouldn't matter to good players without actually buffing the power as well.

Imagine caring about DPA in a thread about aesthetics.
