Champions Online travel powers [Video]

Tentonhammer has a video up this morning that showcases the travel powers available in Champions Online. It’s a great watch and clocks in at over eight minutes long, so you get a good impression of the potential these travel powers have for your character.

I’m impressed with what they’re offering. The animations are fantastic and there’s a wider variety of powers than I thought they’d have. Several are recycles, which is unfortunate, but understandable given that they want you to be able to find a travel power that’s a fit for your character while still being on par with the other heroes out there.

I do have a couple of criticisms though. Why can’t you tunnel under things? It seems unnatural to have Tunneling as your travel ability and yet you’re still unable to get past a basic structure without physically moving around it. Ice Slide is also a little lacking. It’s virtually no different than Earth Flight except you’re on a piece of ice with some wispy stuff behind you. Where’s the slide part of that?

Apart from that, they look pretty cool. If you haven’t yet, check it out.
