Ok, I hate "wire-fu".
Some people love wire fu, and they can watch some Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

This is not to be confused with "fantastical manuvers" such as stuff found in 'universes' like Dragon Ball Z, where people CAN actually fly around and throw mountains on eachother. It is also like in spiritual places such as Crouching Tiger/House of Flying daggers. In this universe, people can leap on bamboo rods and skip across water. They're supposed to, it's IN that continuity and you expect it. It is appropriate and can be beautiful.

Now what's that got to do with PSU?
Some of the new PA's are dipping into the wire fu realm...and shouldn't. PSU does not have outrageous physics, flying guys, shooting ki attacks, ghosts passing through walls, warping space/time etc. And this game is even supposed to be more NORMAL then PSO. No outrageous builds or clothes for your guy, everyone is forced to be this 'average' thing.

So why then do we now have:

People riding around the room on flying (mysteriously)guided thrown objects like Tao-Pie-Pie (who was notorious for throwing a pillar into the air, jumping onto it, and somehow riding it around the world like an airplane)
People passing though the ground and flying out of it like ghosts?
People flying through the air like horizontal helicopters for at least 70 ft?

When this 'wire-fu' stuff comes up in situations where it's not in the continuity, it breaks you out of the experience. Like charlie's angels suddenly doing 5-8 kicks to someone's head while flying through the air on 1 single jump. You start yelling in your mind "Bogus!" rather than going with the flow. These are supposed to be normal people doing outrageously cool things, but suddenly being able to fly or use ice-breath or something where they never did it before, and can't ever do it after that one incident is just...breakdown.

PSO/U has always been grounded in 'normal enough' physics. Yes certain machines can levitate, as well as objects (a box, a meseta) but this isn't DBZ. I like DBZ but keep dbz out of my psu. It gave reality to the 'martial arts' or whatever moves they were doing to NOT have these wire fu moves in there.

The bottom line:
If you're gonna make flying people/super heros/ghosts do it. Put all super moves, work it in that people can do crouching tiger stuff all the time. If not, it's out of place.

I hope they put in MORE crazy shit.

Hahaha ultimate PA's = Wire-fu to the max.

[Taris]

Seconded. Nothing else to add.
(Except "hey, may as well make it so that if you can ride your weapon around like an airboard, you may as well go the Full Monty and let us fire off dual pistols while doing it, like something out of Devil May Cry 3." Sigh.)

(PS: Honestly, I thought this would be another thread about Maya's main features. Well, hers, and about 50% of the "female" online characters.)

...I'd call you an idiot but I'll refrain from saying such bad things.

The thing that gets me is PM's have wings after their last evolution but they can't fly or hover in battle. =

[Kismet]

This thread is really stupid... So stupid and pointless it makes me gag.

Next. >_>

[MayLee]

Then why did you post? If it's too stupid and pointless then keep it to yourself and save yourself the time and not post in it.

This is one reason I'm sticking with Ranger classes. I'm only gonna fly around if I ever find Space Harrier's magic gun.

It's a anime style videogame, from japan. What do you expect? We need moer crazy moves. And what do you mean its supposed to be normal. When you look into the background, you see flying cars. You fight space aliens as a job. People can have green and neon pink hair, and clothes that glow. Everyones weapons has more photonic particals on them than Darth Maul's crea double saber.

I just wish they had a dagger move where you'd rush foward, the screen goes dark, you see slashes in the air with kanji flashing in the background, then you appear behind the monster's corpse on the ground behind you with your back facing it.
