Re: Brainstorming: VS MAX Special Abilities


Looks like the ideas are converging around a hover-mobility mode.

MAX had "run mode" in PS1, which took time to wind up and took time to power down and they couldn't fire while doing it.

I think the VS mechanic needs to be significantly different from that.

It could have a quick charge too, where it just zips forward or even teleports (Blink in many games). It could have a variety of applicaitons:
- quickly flanking
- escape
- breaching a tight defense
- avoiding certain death

Thoughts on a charge or blink-like ablity? Could make use of those wing-like things we see in the model art.
