Animated move, for those who wish to see it.

Is there a reason they're only showing EPNS performing these moves?

Because it would look silly if the Merovingian was performing a wall kick.

Again: Good ability, bad pill.

Unless it's a permanent grant.

You know, there's enough moves in here to make some sub-abilities for the op trees... SMILEY

How about replacing Sharpshooter and Multi-fighting with something we can use, oh, and I still have a blank box in my awakened abs where Mobius should be.

Vet rewards?

**MxO-Insertion**

The recent image retrievals look promising... well, even though they're other moves pieced together.

I do hope these are abilities and not pills, because the idea of pills doesn't make much sense to me... hehe, grants never have, since they're not done like Trinity's chopper manual DL in the first movie. SMILEY

Perhaps they're not gonna be pills? (Unless Rarebit said they were.) They could just be new abilities for the Martial Art trees...

Just replace the pill or inhaler icon on these "ability Grants" with the cell-phone icon. SMILEY<img src=

" /> Then, it's an ability downloaded to you real time from your Operator, just like in those movies. What were those movies called again...

Even if it is a permanent grant, it will no doubt require farming in order to obtain.

Having to farm for a pill to activate an animation that could easily be performed under CR1 if you knew what to do seems a bad gameplay model, in my opinion. CR2 was two steps forward in terms of balancing combat, but it was three steps back in terms of animation and synchronization which is what makes interlock fun in the first place.

A certain wallkick maneuver is already playable in-game at this time. It requires no farming and no pill, and it looks pretty darn sweet. These animations obviously don't require activation from a pill or any other item. Putting them in pill form is a lame excuse for content.

i remember this one. i've got a stash of wallkick pics from when i found out how to do 'em, and this one was my favorite. i wonder if this means we'll be seeing the aikido, horizontal wall-run attack, aswell...

Edit: does this mean that the previous two work? or are you just teasing us with more goodies?
