Ash' Idle Animation Is Waaayyyyy To Feminine.

It's not that it looks feminine. That's not the problem, and I don't think it looks particularly masculine or feminine. The problem is it looks totally out of place in combat. In the Arsenal screen, it's okay. Tolerable. But to have him go into that posture every time you stop moving for a moment running a mission, he looks absolutely ridiculous. I haven't seen all of the new idles, but the ones I HAVE seen (Loki, Excalibur, Volt, Trinity and Frost) all at least look like they are paying attention.

Ash on the other hand... looks as though he has put all his points into his stoicism skill, and completely ignored spatial awareness. The idle doesn't look terrible. It looks inappropriate, and as such I would like to throw my support behind a request to change it.

I am really trying to find the picture that embodies what I know they went for, one that normally makes all the ninja fanboys wet themselves.

One that uses that exact pose, but without the heavy weapons.

I know what you mean concerning what they went for. I think, though, they would do well to change his main idle to a combat-ready stance, and have that epic ninja pose as one of the shorter duration idles he shifts into while just standing around for extended periods.

Ya, Rhino's idle isn't to bad, so I switched to him until they hopefully get rid of the current one for ash or make a better one.

 

Seems like this is an inside joke or something within the dev team, "Lets constantly screw up something on him to see how mad his fans get".

Im not really mad at them, but Ash's stance is very awkward looking. I think if they opened up his knees some it would be fine.

 

But, this does not affect gameplay so I guess I can live with it, though I dont like it at all.

I was going to make a petition to change his animation. It just looks like he has a stick up his butt, not like he's a ninja badass. Please change this idle. Please. He's my favorite frame. Please.

Actually, a lot of ninjas in popular media stand in a similer fashion, ever played the first Shinobi game?

Yes that may be the case, but they do that in pictures or flare videos. They don't go from a battle stance with a rifle to standing like an idiot.

 

They should have used the "beta" version of the stance they showed on one of the streams awhile back if any...

Actually no, they do it all the time, the charcter that do do this pose are usually the most skilled, they almost always stand in some sort of neutral pose, showing little regard for there enemies, Metal Gear's Ninja Cyborgs did it all the time, Ryu Hyabusa did it too, every evil character from Naruto did it, and even Shen from LoL, does it, it is one of the most common nija poeses out there, this is honestly the first time I've ever heard people calling it feminine, have you guys tried it with the Kunias, it looks perfect.
