BoOz Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think a picture will sum this up pretty well... I am at a loss for words... He looks like a ballet dancer... cringe. http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/1118302506524503317/CFB20F8D86FBE267C39D528585C08A090A83E2A3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Seems more to me like he is reserved and composing himself than feminine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthcl0wn Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 MAYBE HE WANTS TO BE A BALLET DANCER, HUH? STOP BEING SO MEAN TO LITTLE ASH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rettycombine Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It looks a bit more like a soldier standing infront of a superior officer, ye it does look feminine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegetableBasket Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoOz Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I am sorry but this idle is horrible. I don't even wanna play him now. That may seem over dramatic but it's just not how I would picture Ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightkon Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I can't even take my ash seriously when i play, have to use other frames till they fix this :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I did think it looked a bit peculiar. Just don't give him Loki's anims! D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Camp Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Looks like he's balancing on the top of a pole or something.. I love that they all have unique stances, but Ash's is a bit on the feminine side :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherRougeAI Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 How this was allowed to be put in the game is beyond me. I refuse to use my Ash again until this is changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiabolusUrsus Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) 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.

VScipii26 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 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.

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.

Lukedu_ Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I like it in the Dojo, with the arms crossed. Otherwise, it looks silly as hell. DE pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalusCalibur Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I will echo the sentiments voiced in this thread - Ash's idle stance looks utterly ridiculous now, and it pains me as he is my favourite frame. Please, please, please fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk1991 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 He looks like Shen from LoL with a gun, it's not that bad. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111014234948/leagueoflegends/images/thumb/2/27/Shen_YellowJacketSkin_Ch2.jpg/640px-Shen_YellowJacketSkin_Ch2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoOz Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) 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".

HunterVI Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoOz Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) 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...

They don't go from a battle stance with a rifle to standing like an idiot. 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.
