Just for the sake of clarity, are we certain they are truly shared animations? I sort of felt like they were homages to Maya’s moves but I haven’t gone and studied them. I sort of thought it was cool that her forward moving torpedo is similar in form to Maya’s Rising move.
As far as Eagle I’m not sure what to root for. It doesn’t seem very intuitive to out Thunder and Fulgore’s move sets together to make anything coherent. I think we would expect lots of changes to him. As per the OP, Shago doesn’t play anything like omen or Jago just because he has a few of the same animations and variations of the same moves.
I know, but alot of his moves are very similar to them both, or def have inspiration from them both. Thats what I was getting at by saying an amalgamation with a bit of his own spice
If we don’t get a 4th season, then I personally love the idea of Eagle being the 9th, bonus character. Also REALLY love the idea of him having Thunder’s old Phoenix projectile, especially if he calls it out the way Thunder used to.
As for the rest of his move set:
From Fulgore:
-A similar animation to his taunt
-Phoenix projectile that he shoots the way Fulgore shoots his normal projectile.
-Another smaller projectile that he throws at the ground like Fulgore’s ground eye laser, but give it different properties and have it be used differently.
From Thunder:
-Phoenix projectile from OG Thunder.
-Grounded Sammamish as one of his auto animations.
-Give him a move that he can power up by doing the Call of Sky animation, but have the move he can do be completely different.
Other than that though, just the spirit of combining the two of them with some familiar animations, I’d want everything else to be entirely unique.
While I normally don’t like character clones either, I think Eagle is the perfect candidate for this given his background. He should share some of what Fulgore has. It just makes sense given that Fulgore was based off of him. The fact that Thunder is his brother also makes it feel like they should share at least a small amount the way Mira and Maya do.
Mira has a similar fwd HP move and she does a flip kick at the end of her heavy spiral arrow. That’s really it. They aren’t even the same. So I’m not sure why people are saying they are copied.
I think Eagle will be totally his own creation. from the wording of Adam earlier… They arent going to copy what the Comics did with Eagles look and weapons. So I dont anticipate Eagle to have the forearm blades like Fulgore nor do I think he will have the Phoenix projectile.
In Arias story he was noted as being the most agile, strong, and smartest fighter she ever seen. SO that tells me he would be like a Indian version o Jago…just good at everything and not bad at anything.
Mira also has that 4 hit claw spin move similar to Maya’s 4 hit knife combo (Forward+LB I believe)
And while Eagle doesnt necessarily need Fulgore’s arm blades, Fulgore DID learn his fighting style from Eagle. So it’s pretty safe to assume that some of Eagle’s moves will resemble Fulgore’s. And it’s a reboot, so It’s very possible Eagle can have Thunder’s Phoenix move. Especially since 1) they didn’t give it to Thunder in this game, 2) Fulgore shoots projectiles, so it’s not a far fetched notion to think that they’d give Eagle one too, 3) the move originally belonged to his brother, not some other random character. So if they wanted to bring the move back, who better to give it to?
since the season 3 lacks for only one char, the bonus char way, like for omen, that takes the total chars of the season to 9, is the only way i can accept for have eagle. don’t need to mention that eyedol is more important, right? and i don’t want neither a copy of thunder please, they should change totally the type, he needs to be some sort of monster, like a zombie as someone says, but better something else more original.
of course, then we could take out not olny eagle, but all brand new and guest chars. they haven’t citizenship before eyedol, neither ki2 introduced chars like tusk, kim wu, maya and gargos have. in this case they would make it out of the jar, and also very smelly. i’ve bought only tusk for season 3 just cause the lack of certainty about eyedol, i will take less than a minute to abandon the game.
