Maybe its the old FF11 player in me, being one of the many faces begging for a kick attack added to monk for something like 6 years, I dunno. Would any of you like to see a kick attack added to our arsenal of moves? I sure would.
Maybe something snappy like an axe kick for a response style attack (like jarring strike) or a spinning thrust kick. Hell, even a normal, hard looking, side thrust kick would be nice.
Some kind of kick attack...
Yay or nay?

THIS IS SPARTA!!! yes I would like a spartan kick for the gladiator. Then you can add side kicks and stuff for the pugilist. I am all for this.

Maybe when they add there new system and you can unlock Monk you would have Kick attack.

Kicks should be essential, they are martial artists, not boxers...
They should be able to punch, kick and do jumping hit animations, just see tha attack animations fro City of Heroes Scrappers, they are completely awesome.
Kicks don't have to be a stance like in FF11, I would be happy to see them even as just normal hits... -

I think that with the new prestige class system which has been suggested we will get a lot more attack animations, hopefully kicks will be amongst them.

03-10-2011, 06:46 PMVackashkenExactly what I was thinking when I said a hard looking side thrust kick.Quote:

I had a female scrapper in that game, I was "Martial arts" / "Super reflexes" so almost my whole arsenal was kicks and it was completely awesome looking as I said before.
Side thrust kicks, jumping kicks, low sweeping kicks it had everything I wanted! -

MA powerset didnt use hands as much as it could of but its strongest kick had a pretty nice animation.
-
03-10-2011, 07:45 PMMeleena
Yeah but you could have other punches from the secondary pools like flurry from the super speed powerset.

03-10-2011, 08:58 PMVackashkenSure, we can apply that when we have some boxing gloves and a boxing ring.Quote:

Kinda like when we see an arena, some men pitted against other men or lions, we can think of Gladiators as actually gladiators.Quote:

I'd much rather not see 'Pugilist' turn into a full martial artist class. A Pugilist is a pugilist, not a martial artist. Sure, it would make sense for it to branch off into a sub-class that can kick, but I don't like the idea of calling something a pugilist that isn't a pugilist.
As for the nit-picking comments above, Eruantien is correct, you are what you are whether you're doing it at that time or not. To put it into some sort of perspective for those that don't understand, saying a boxer isn't a boxer when he's not in a ring with boxing gloves on is like saying a rapist isn't a rapist when he's not raping someone. A boxer can also be a fencer and darts player outside of the ring, much like we can use say gladiator and archer skills as pugilists, but it doesn't make him less of a boxer. Skills need to be applicable to the class for the classes to be defined as such.
Anyways, if a pugilist gets a kick attack, I want to propose we also get a foot stomp/nose pull/head slap combination attack.

You're foccusing too much on unimportant details.
Pugilist is the equivalent of what Monk - Scrapper - Bruiser - Brawler - Black Belt - Master are in other games and that means that he is the H2H combat specialist of this game, they just happened to call him by that name because they wanted to make him sound original.
Do you think that Monks should have kicks and fight? (Shaolin Monks maybe) but FF11 doesnt have "Shaolin" on their name, they are just Monks...
Also "boxers" don't use claws when they fight and I am sure that even they can kick people outside of the ring.
They should even give them grappling technics for all I care, even Boxers "clinch" aren't they? -
03-10-2011, 10:49 PMAuleirra
don't forget in the world of matial arts there is a lot of combinations mixed, matched, and adapted to each style. kick boxing, drunken boxing, Muay Thai. I don't know where I'm going with this but I do believe these styles also show forms of kicking.
-
03-10-2011, 11:21 PMSojiroOK? When I see some black belts and a martial arts ring we can call them martial artists. Its not like I don't want to see kick attacks, but considering the fact they call the class pugilist and there aren't kick attacks its a bit more likely to believe they meant them to be "pugilists" and not martial artists, and just forgot to put in those kick animations. Like I said, I do hope the advancement paths or unlocking advanced jobs (however they decide to do it) will give us the full fledged monk complete with kick attacks.Quote:

03-11-2011, 03:02 AMMeleenaDo you know when kicks were introduced in FF11?Quote:

Maybe Monks were pugilists too when that game started, or do you think that they just forgot to put them in?
No, I still believe that they just did't give them kick animations either because they would be the most awesome looking class evar and nobody would pick something else :P
or
because they have in mind some other use for the Kicks, like a different stance (FF11 style).
I am confident that we will eventually see kick animations from pugilists in the game, I am just not sure if we will see them while in Pugilist form, or Monk. -

I say {Kick Attacks} {Can I add you to my friends list?}

03-11-2011, 05:31 AMPeppinoTuna
I have weapons on my hands and not my feet, but that doesn't mean I don't want to kick! I think it would be a great idea. I'm having difficulty picturing it though.
Some kicks to the side or a kick to the stomach would be great for some weapon skills. The Sparta kick suggestion on the first page made me laugh. I'd like to see that, too. -
03-11-2011, 05:58 AMSojiroActually the very first (I believe first) weaponskill monks got was combo. Which wasn't a kick attack, but had a kick animation as did a few others before the actual kick attacks. Thats more what I meant although I did say attack at the start of the post and not animation (although I did comment on it). Hell even simian thrash, our last weaponskill we get has no kicking animation to it. And nothing i'm aware of before that has any sort of kicking animation to it please correct me if i'm wrong since i'm only mid 30's but i'm sure i'm not wrong.Quote:

But we're arguing over unimportant semantics, and i'm sure we all want to see the same there here. Kick attacks and animations for the class we all here seem to love to play :D. -
03-11-2011, 08:12 AMMeleenaNo kicking animation but last hit isn't a boxing move either :PQuote:

Yeah you're right about combo but this still doesn't change anything IMO.
Pugilist is supposed to be the Monk class of this game witch is the class that represents the "unarmed" combat (although he has weapons) but it's the same argument, pugilists use weapons? Don't they fight with their fists?
They just used Pugilist as a name just to be different and they decided to make make matching moves.
When they advance to Monks or When we get new attack animations I believe that we will have our kicks too. -
03-11-2011, 09:48 AMRenegade
I would like kicks. Some of the kicks in CoH were over the top though. I can just picture a Roegadyn in a monk robe doing a jump kick showing off his underpants..., but then again Lalafells doing backflip kicks would be pretty sweet (thinks of yoda).

A kick skill?
{Yes Please} like this one:

I want kicks. Different styles of kicks too. Not just one generic looking. I think it could be great to implement diferent types of kicks with different effects as unique single skills. Lets say, low kick to lower enemy mobility, high kick for crit damage, roundhouse kick for "chuck norris" damage !
-
03-11-2011, 04:10 PMZamana
I would like Pugilist; or an advancement of, to have a kick attack. Perhaps changing the animation of "Pummel" to a kick animation would work. Pugilist only has 1 500 tp move, Pounce (which takes a VERY Very large amount of stamina) Another idea would be a 500 TP Kick weaponskill.
-
03-11-2011, 08:52 PMSha
I'd rather pugilists use punches and only punches. Then, if / when we get a monk class, I'm all for them to use kicks. Who was talking about class uniqueness again? :)
-
03-12-2011, 02:46 AMBlackheart
kick attacks? yes! after all the running around i do in the game it would be great to see my legs put to more use, not to mention...my hands get tired of punching after while...

pu·gi·list/ˈpyo͞ojəlist/
Noun: A boxer, esp. a professional one.
No kick attack for me on this one. If they bring in another job.. lets say NIN then it would makes sense.
Ain't nothing wrong with pummeling mobs to death with your hands. -
03-12-2011, 02:02 PMBlackheartodd...i don't recall anyone saying there was something wrong with punching things...Quote:

Kick boxer comes to mind when everyone keeps saying pugilist = boxer lol
but I lean towards keeping it for an advance branch of pugilist
I can see pugs having up to 3 branches
Monk DD, Thief Enmity control, ??? Evasion tank (kittens will die if you say the N word to fill in the ???) -
03-15-2011, 08:46 PMVackashken
I'd think a branching off would be cool but seems terribly unlikely.
-
03-16-2011, 12:34 AMAllodoxaphobia
Yeees, I would love to Sparta kick someone!
Anyways, it really only specifies the pugilist class as using "hand-to-hand combat". So yeah, while they use the term pugilist, I don't think they specifically and only meant boxer.
Which doesn't really matter to me, I just want to kick someone in the face. -
03-16-2011, 05:05 PMHikozaemon
pray to god they never add another kick attacks stance lol what epic fail that was to mnk >< As good as a kick attk extra hit would be to have id be even happier w/ more animations for punches or a possible tripple attk trait allowing for 3 attks w/ light strike/ heavy strike. Or even an advanced class that can kick attk would be gravy if it was done right this time....
-
05-06-2011, 02:37 PMHoneyBoy
Of course they should add kicks but I think they will feel more natural when they implement the auto attack system. I will tell ya what, a damn spin kick will be much cooler than lame ass Simian Thrash imo.
