    this is a poll to see what you think about the new Archons movement




    --------------------------------------------------------------
    My Opinions: it looks bad and not as unique or mystical as the old one :no:

    Eh, its not that big an issue with me, but if i had to pick one, i would pick hover just because it gave the feel of "power overwhelming" :p

    the feet are less than .5 centimeters. in a game, that's hardly noticable.

    Eh, it's not a biggie to me, but I like the hover more. It gives them a more mystic feel, same with the High Temps.

    I think walking makes him look far more powerful actually. And the original Archons had legs as well, they weren't just floating torsos. But I feel like every footstep he takes just radiates power and causes shockwaves hahaa.

    Kehmdaddy, I agree with you to some degree, but if they plan on keeping the walking, they should make it look a little less clumsy. He looks like he's going to trip.

    Not a big issue, but I voted for walking.

    I like the walk. I want to be able to hear the stomps of this fearful mass of energy.

    But they need to change that flimsy little shockwave. The Starcraft 1 Psionic Shockwave looked deadlier.

    Yeah... Archons need hover, Templars hover so why does two Templars = walking?

    It does make him look clumsy, the original had a thing about it that said, "Yeah, im the most bad ass unit ever I don't need to walk, PYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

    This one is like... Oh god im so slow *thump thump thump*

    I actually didnt see his feeti n the animation thing on starcraft2.com all I saw was his hulking shoulders and I was like.. "Huh?"

    FLOAT !!!!

    I think hovering suits the Archon. It is a psionic entity, and because the High Templar hovered, it matches well for the Archon to hover above ground. And its psionic shockwave can attack air units, so it makes senses for them to be higher above ground in the 1st place

    still i choose hovering but i wish they would fix the sprites. the archon's walking animation is like he's just standing there only its moving.

    Hovering makes them look much scarier so that's the way to go.

    Definately float, it made me kind of sad to watch the archon walk, because I mean it floats on its pure energy from the Khala, so common it has to float.

    I love the idea of a Twilight Archon and his buddy stomping around wreaking havoc though.

    Stomping is the source of power. Godzilla. King Kong. Chuck Norris. A titan in Greek mythology.

    the new walking look looks better IMO

    it gives them a sort of juggernaut look to them. fucking stopable!!!!
