Quite the indirect way of saying "Attribute - 4", isn't it ?

• There are skills for holding your breath and pretending to sleep
  
• There's a skill called "Hojoujutsu", the art of tying people up in a way that makes it especially hard for them to get out. Totally nothing kinky about that.
  
• Weapon skills are spliced in between the normal ones, despite not actually working like normal skills. They don't affect accuracy or anything, but rather just set a hard limit on the combined CPs of your weapon moveset. Because even the rules hate those people who refrain from honorable methods of fighting, like claws or eye lasers.
  
• "Shield" is a skill. There are no shields in this game (apart from something a fan did).
  

• Armor Fighting: Less encumbrance for wearing armor (is that even tournament legal?)
  
• Arts of Invisiblity: Ninja tricks. Doesn't come with that weird log trick, though.
  
• Blind Fighting: Reduces penalties for fighting if you can't see anything, though I'm not too sure how often this comes up seeing how the normal penalties (-5 to all rolls, APs halved) make characters without this useless to the point the GM will probably never try to piss unprepared players off unless the enemy is a weak minion.
  
• Body Hardening: Reduces the damage you take by adding a bonus to your Soak Roll (which we'll cover later). Can get rather ridiculous if you take enough levels.
  
• Feng Shui: Doesn't really do anything unless you have a certain Weird Power (which are covered at the end of the book), not that this Discipline reminds you of this.
  
• Iaido: Basically Quick Draw deluxe. Gives you nice speed and damage bonuses to your first weapon attack in a fight. Nice to have, but I don't see anyone putting too many levels into this unless you want to be a one round wonder.
  
• Iron fist: A damage bonus for punches, as well as an exclusive maneuver called "Power Punch" (which honestly doesn't look too amazing, but we'll get into that later). Note that punches are the only non-weapon attack to get such a Discipline.
  
• Iron Will: A defense bonus against mind control and stuff.
  
• Kung-Sool/Kyudo: Same Discpline with two different names, in case you make a Korean archer and would feel offended for having "Kyudo" on your character sheet. Anyways, this Discipline sounds pretty rad: it replaces the Missile Weapon skill (for archery only, of course), completely replaces the Discipline Medidation without drawbacks, and it not only replaces but also adds to Blind Fighting for using a bow. And you can boost your arrow damage with Chi.
  
• Medidation: Sit around to regain Chi faster.
  
• Negative/Positive Chi: Gives you a couple tricks depending on whether or you are a Chi Jedi or Sith (you can't be both). It's mostly the same or similar stuff, with negative chi users eventually learning to Force Choke Punch people (essentially a gimped version of a maneuver you can just buy directly), while positive Chi users can heal and radiate light (in case nobody has Blind Fighting I guess). The overlapping tricks mostly deal with spending Chi to boost certain combat rolls.
  
• Vital Points: Troll people with your mad acupuncture skills. The last two tricks involve temporary amnesia by poking their head, and grabbing people by the neck to control their body like a puppet. Those make you a riot at parties.
  
• Weapon Art Damage and speed buffs for a particular kind of weapon. Also reduces the cost of weapon maneuvers, which I think allows you to get more bang for you Weapon Skill.
  
• Weapon Improvisation: You are Jackie Chan. The GM is expected to come up with improvised weapons stats himself.
  
• Weapons Mastery: All your Weapon Skills combined. A bit expensive at character generation, but after that, it's much cheaper in the long run if you ever plan to use more than one kind of weapon.
  

• Ambidextrous: Removes penalties for using your off hand. The only time this can even happen is if you're dual-wielding (there's like one maneuver for that) or if you want to be able to both hold a weapon and punch stuff.
  
• Animal Companion: Gives you an animal companion like some Samurai Shodown characters. Looking ahead to Appendix 2, you can get a friggin elephant as a companion, though their Agility is too low to even bother using them as anything but a meat shield.
  
• Area Specialization: Pick a maneuver category to be faster and more accurate in. I have a feeling anyone will want to pick this up at least once.
  
• Artifact: You start out with a D&D-esque magical item. Because having an additional +4 to Strength or Agility sounds fair. Also, the Appendix in question has conversion rules for The Palladium Book of Weapons, Armor and Castles o_O
  
• Calm: You are so enlightened that it is really hard for you to gain Rage. On the plus side, you can pull off Super Moves anytime by just beating a skill test with this Advantage's level as the skill. Say hello to endgame super move spam.
  
• Costume: Your fighting gear is impervious to damage, and you can transform into it any time. Thankfully suggest to just give this to everyone for free.
  
• Desparation: That thing in some fighting games were you have an infinite super bar and damage buffs when your health is absurdly low. Calm sounds way safer IMO.
  
• Exceptional Attribute: Raises one Attribute's maximum rank by 1, up to 15. You could've just made getting points beyond 10 more expensive, you know.
  
• Self-Taught: You have trained yourself. This has apparently "both advantages and drawbacks", like how you're less skilled but more flexible. None of this actually affects anything.
  
• Spontaneous Moves: Spend EXP to get maneuvers anytime, halting combat to a grind!
  
• Area Difficulty: Get extra CP for gimping maneuver categories you never plan on using, anyways!
  
• Blind: Makes you Daredevil or Zatoichi if you also buy lots of Blind Fighting.
  
• Negative Chi: Required to get the Negative Chi Discipline. Being evil gives you points back! Sure, it gives you a demonic aura or something, but that's an added bonus in my booko.
  
• No Kick Training: A more severe version of Area Difficulty, but this time for kicks only. All it really does is replace your basic kick maneuvers with a very lovely maneuver, though you can still buy the basic ones if you want. Thankfully informs us that this is not appropriate for styles that involve kicks.
  
• Pacifism: Comes in three levels of severity. The second one has you only fight for self-defense (so no tournaments for you), while the last makes you absolutely useless in a fighting game RPG because you essentially refuse to do anything but blocking and dodging.
  

• Athletics: Jump at stuff.
  
• Block: Block stuff.
  
• Evasion: Dodge stuff.
  
• Focus: Hadoken stuff.
  
• Grappling: Piledrive stuff.
  
• Kick: Kick stuff.
  
• Punch: Punch stuff. Also includes head butts because there's nowhere else to put them.
  
• Weapons: Whack stuff.
  
• Super Attacks: Spirit Bomb stuff.
  

• Aikido: A self-defense style that makes most Kicks and Punches more expensive, but reduces the cost of Grappling and Focus maneuvers (because nothing says self-defense quite like blasting your foes to kingdom come).
  
• Arnis/Escrima/Kali: Three closely-related Philippine styles all about sticks and/or knives, making Weapon maneuvers cheaper but disallowing any Punch maneuver other than Head Butt. Strangely, the cost reduction doesn't actually say anything about being limited to sticks and knives. Whoops.
  
• Bojutsu: Japanese staff-fighting, but the Style can also represent any other staff-fighting style that is not Arnis/Escrima/Kali. Considered a Discipline Style, because it's not like staffs are very flexible weapons or anything. The Style's not even that much worse compred to the above, it just reduces Weapon maneuver cost by 1 instead of 2. There's again no mention on limiting this to staff only, so I guess it can just be assumed to be that way. Oh well, I can live with that.
  
• Boxing: The classic Discipline Style, because screw anyone who does not kick. Doesn't actually give you a cost reduction for punches, but rather Block maneuvers.
  
• Brawling: Basically amounts to "You don't really have a style". Limits you to one specific Focus maneuver (Focus Rage) and prohibits any normal non-Grappling maneuvers that cost more than 2 CPs, locking you out of most maneuvers unless you're willing to nerf them. Sure, it's not too bad specializing in Grappling only, but it hurts not getting easy access to some of the very useful Block and Evasion maneuvers, and no beneficial customization at all. Also, no starting maneuvers. Gently caress this Style.
  
• Capoeria: The archetypical Brazilian fighting style. No punches apart from head butts, but you get cost reductions for Kick and Athletics.
  
• Generic Style:

  quote:

  "What style do I practice? Well... er... uh..."

  This is the boring and bland human race among the styles. It basically amounts to one free Attribute Point and 7 free CP to buy maneuvers with. This style will save you a lot of headache during conversions, because some characters (sometimes even entire video games, like anything made by Arc System Works) so don't lend themselves to any kind of general fighting style (aka "What the heck are Kula and Bridget supposed to use?")
  
• Hwarang-Do: The Korean art of kicking the crap out of people. Cheaper Kicks, more expensive Punches.
  
• Jeet Kune Do: The style invented by Bruce Lee himself. Hilariously just a more restricted version of Generic Style (o_O)
  
• Jujutsu/Judo:Heavy focus on Grappling at the cost of a very limited Punch and Kick selection. Essentially the much better cousin of Brawling.
  
• Kalaripayit: Indian boxing with a bit of weapon usage. The cost modifier is nothing too fancy (-1 CP for Focus maneuvers, because Dhalsim), but it has some hefty Attribute bonuses (+1 Will and Focus, as well as +5 Chi).
  
• Karate: One of those standard styles. Rather useful in that the cost modifier can be either for Kick or Punch maneuvers, depending on your taste.
  
• Kenjutsu: Japanese swordfighting. Very limited in terms of Punch and Kick maneuvers, but you get a cost reduction on Weapon and Focus maneuvers. Also another Style with hefty Attribute bonuses (+1 Agility, +2 Will)
  
• Kempo: A distant Japanese relative of Kung Fu. Is literally the same as Karate, but you get an additional +1 to Agility.
  
• Kung Fu: Another gold standard. Makes Focus maneuvers cheaper. Also mentions the huge amount of different sub-styles (hinting at the Thrash Sourcebook where you get to see a lot of them).
  
• Muay Thai: Thai kickboxing. Only reduces the cost of Kick maneuers, though, at by 2 point no less. Doesn't have Attribute bonuses for some reason.
  
• Ninjutsu: The ancient art of fighting like a ninja. Reduces the cost of Athletics and Focus, so I guess this can also be used as the base for a fireball-slinging luchadore.
  
• Pentjak-Silat: Self-defense made in Indonesia, with a focus on the Kris knife. No Grappling here, but you get Weapon and Focus maneuvers for cheap. Also has a list of whacky powers a "true" Kris might have, whatever that means.
  
• Savate: French kickboxing, focusing on Athletics and Kicks. Thankfully not as hilariously broken as the SF:STG version.
  
• Special Forces: The style for real American heroes. More expensive Acrobatics, Focus and Super maneuvers, but you get cheaper Grappling maneuvers and any maneuver labeled "Disabling" or "Killing" (which amount to a little over half a dozen, and this is the only Style that requires such a labeling).
  
• Sumo: You're a fat guy in diapers. Reduces the cost of Athletics and Grappling, the former probably solely because of E. Honda's shenanigans.
  
• Swordfighting: An inferior version of Kenjutsu, used for any swordfighting style that is not Kenjutsu, because gently caress gaijins. Also mentions how you can have LARPing as your character's excuse for knowing how to swing a sword.
  
• Tae Kwon Do: Another Korean one. Cheaper Kicks, no Weapons allowed.
  
• Tai Chi Chuan: A philosophical taoist style. Very cheap Focus and Evasion, but very limited everywhere else.
  
• Wrestling: Your general wrestling style. Cheaper Grappling (duh), but no Kicks or Weapons. Is also considered a Discipline Style, because knowing how to dislodge limbs in at least five different ways is totally just as inferior as "I can hit things with my fist".
  
• Wu Shu: The stereotypical Chinese lady style. Cheaper Ahtletics, Evasion and Kick maneuvers, more expensive Focus and Punch maneuvers.

• Area Specialisation (Punch) (3 CP): Punching stuff is second nature to her
  
• Delusion (Minor) (-1 CP): She is convinced that "Scootland is th' best!", which can get annoying, but doesn't really prevent her from functioning normal
  
• No Kick Training (-3 CP): Kicking things is for Englishmen. I could've probably also gone for Area Difficulty (Kick), but I want to save the really silly stuff for the maneuvers chapter.
  
• Pacifism (No killing) (-1 CP): Why yes, I would like to have a free point for being a good guy.

(Hint: The secret is hidden in her name )

Aerial usage (+1): The maneuver can be used when jumping or being otherwise airborne. Most maneuvers already work that way; you only really need this for maneuvers that don't allow movement, or where it would "logically be the case" that they'd need this. Okay.
Air Charge (+2): The move can be used in mid-air by creating a temporary energy platform (think Dante's double jump from Devil May Cry). Not entirely sure if this feature is worth +4 Chi cost.
Chi Charge (+6): Gives your maneuver a chi boost for -3 AP cost, +2 damage and an absurd +4 to your Accuracy. Does however add a +4 Chi cost.
Dashing Move (+5): Perform the maneuver while running. -3 AP cost and a Move of 6 (or +3 if that would be higher). Very handy for a noticable reach and speed improvement. Has an odd prerequisite of Agility 5. Why would you ever want less than that?
Enraged Use (-2): The maneuver can only be used while your Rage Threshold is reached (but doesn't consume it like a super). If you have lots of levels in the Calm advantage, you can easily create a maneuver you will never be able to use with this.
Extended Duration (+2): Can maintain a maneuver through multiple rounds, normally applied to Focus manuvers. Think of a continuous energy beam or something, or some kind of status effect. Not entirely sure if damage-dealing maneuvers need to hit every turn or are considered to always hit after the first.
Extended Range (+1): Doubles the range of projectile attacks, which sounds like a very good deal.
Extra Force (+1): +2 and causes Knockdown (essentially forcing the opponent to stay defensive for the rest of the turn). Could be pretty cheesy, but the +1 Chi cost at least means you'll eventually run out of uses.
Flash Strike (+6): You attack with blinding speed. +1 Accuracy, and the AP cost is halved (which raises unanswered question or whether you apply this before or after adding other AP modifiers). Has the absurd prerequisite of Agility 10 and Focus 8, blocking this modifier from a lot of character concepts.
Grabbing Maneuver (+1): You grab your opponent first before attacking, making it a bit harder to defend against.
Increased Chi Cost (-1 per +2 Chi cost)[/u]: Exactly what it says.
Increased Speed (+3): -3 AP cost. You'll love this one.
Lunging Strike (+3): +1 Move, +2 Damage, +3 AP cost. Doesn't really sound too sexy, though it does add Move to maneuvers that originally didn't have any.
Multiple Strike (+5/+6): This turns your normal maneuver into a multi-hit maneuver, with each hit costing 1/3 of the original AP. As the damage is always 1d4 per hit regardless of what the original maneuver did, this is only really useful for maneuvers that aren't too slow to begin with, but aren't too fast either (where it would probably be better to just spam the normal move). Move is determined by which version of the modifier you get (either None or 1 per 3 hits), essentially only leaving the maneuver's Accuracy, CP and Chi cost. Weird.
Power Boosting (+2): A bit like one of these EX moves that every fighting game seems to have nowadays. With each use of the maneuver, you can decide to increase the damage by spending Chi. Spending lots of Chi however increases the AP cost.
Power Strike (+2): Adds an elemental visual effect to your maneuver (hey, I thought that was just descriptive!). +3 Damage, +1 AP, +2 Chi.
Preparation Time (-1/-2/-3): You need to spend additional time to turn the maneuver on. The -1 points version is 10 APs, whereas the -3 version forces you to do nothing for 2 turns. So not worth it.
Prepared Strike (+1/+2+/3): You basically aim your maneuver, gaining +1 Accuracy and Damage for every turn you waited. I don't think this is very useful. You could've probably already hit the opponent multiple times during that time.
Reduced Chi Cost (+2 per -1 Chi cost): Reduces the Chi cost, but can't bring it to 0.
Reduced Force (-2): -3 damage. Can probably be used for cheesy purposes if you abuse the "Every hit always deals 1 damage minimum" rule, though there are easier ways.
Reduced Speed (-2): +3 AP. Rather hefty for fast maneuvers.
Risting Strike (+3): Makes the move an Aerial maneuver, and allows you to counter other Aerial maneuvers (you basically defend by attacking, with the winner hitting). Also +3 Damage.
Stunning Strike (+1): +3 Damage, but the whole maneuver only deals stun damage (which is tracked separately and causes a KO if your combined normal and stun damage would surpass your Health).

• Jump: For the low price of 3 AP, you jump up to your Agility in hexes. Attacks performed while jumping get a +2 to damage. Can also be used to dodge projectile attacks. I have no idea why this isn't a basic maneuver. You can count the number of fighting game characters who don't jump on one hand, if they exist in the first place.
  
• Kippup: Also for the low price of 3 AP, you can immediately recover from a Knockdown. Nifty. Requires an Agility of 5+, which anyone in their right mind should have anyways.
  
• Roll With Impact: For another 3 AP, you can cut incoming damage in half, provided you move back at least 1 hex.
  
• Wall Spring : This one allows you to move up to your Agility multiple times in one turn, provided you find walls to bounce off of. Very crazy stuff.
  

• Circular Parry: For 5 AP, you can parry an unlimited number of attacks that turn. Why would you not want that?
  
• Power Block: You deal your Damage Bonus in damage when parrying. Meh.
  
• Projectile Deflection/Reflect: Catch / throw back projectiles - but only thrown weapons, not the chi blasts most of your opponents will be using.
  
• Weapon Block: Block melee weapons with your bare hands. Mentions a "normal block", proving that even the writer got "Parry" and "Block" confused.
  

• Displacement: Like Dodge, but faster and more accurate. Also gives a +3 Accuracy bonus to any fast Punch performed immediately afterwards, which is amazing.
  
• Leap Dodge: This one is even better, with an absurdly high Move to top it off. Doesn't have that nice Punch synergy, though.
  
• Multiple Dodge: You'd think this one would be like Circular Parry, but the execution is just weird. You declare it at the start of the turn, wait for everyone to attack you, and then make one roll against everything. This is so strange to imagine, since attacks don't really come all at once. Not to mention this basically allows you to delay a potential KO till the end of the turn.
  

• Absorbing Barrier: Turn enemy energy attacks into Rage. Can also be used to hurt people.
  
• Chi Blast: Used for all your Hadokens and Sonic Booms. Comes with its own laundry list of modifiers, with everything from blast spam, homing blasts, ice blasts, exploding blasts, KoF-style ground blasts, continous blasts (hey, I thought that's what Extended Duration was for!)... or everything combined. The sky's the limit here.
  
• Chi Gong: Boosts your Soak roll (more on that in chapter 6) as long as you're willing to spend 1 Chi per turn.
  
• Column Blast: Generate vertical energy columns, hitting anyone above you or in the same hex as you automatically. The Chi cost is rather hefty, so modify that down for much fun.
  
• Drain Chi: Your main method of restoring Chi.
  
• Energy Reflection: Send energy attacks back to the attacks. Now that's way more useful than Projectile Reflection
  
• Focus Rage: Concentrate a while to build up Rage. The only Focus maneuver you can have as a Brawler.
  
• Ghost Form: For 3 AP and Chi per turn, you become immune against physical attacks. Sounds fair.
  
• Kongjin: That Force Punch thing. Essentially adds range to a Punch or Kick maneuver, like a on-the-fly modifier.
  
• Mind Focus: This one's just weird. You get a buff for fighting while your favorite music is playing, but the thing's not even a maneuver. You can't actually use it. Just pay the cost and it's always on, like an Advantage. Why is this here (o_O) ?!
  
• Power Channeling: Boosts a Punch or Kick maneuver. Sort of like a modifier you slap on on demand.
  
• Reduce Weight: Some crazy weight-related powers make this the only maneuver to do nothing during combat - except if you want to jump really high or something..
  

• Head Butt: Well, I guess this had to be somewhere...
  
• Knuckle Fist: If you give this any modifier with -3 to AP, you've got yourself a Light Punch +2. We'll be seeing this one again soon.
  
• Multi-Punch: E. Honda's signature. Very similar to Multi-Kick, and just as useless. Seriously, spamming Light Punches is superior in every way.
  
• Rising Uppercut: Shoooryuken!
  
• Uppercut: Not-Shoryuken. You stay on the ground.
  

• Double Strike: Dual-wielding. You perform two basic attacks (most likely medium or heavy, as those normally have higher AP costs than this maneuver) against the enemy. Should he decide to parry you, he can only parr one attack. Now that's a nice maneuver.
  
• Multi-Strike: Guess what? It still sucks.
  
• Staff Spin/Sweep: These two are oddly specific in that they require staffs. Guess they work with polearms as well.
  

• Chi Star: A Column Blast on steroids. The description is different, but this is essentially Geese Howard's Raging Storm. Costs as hefty 20 Chi and all your AP for that turn, but everything in a 2 hex radius around you is in for a world of hurt. Very nice to finish of multiple opponents, especially if you get that Chi cost down via modifiers.
  
• Fury Super Attack: That classic KoF super move where the character dashes towards his opponent to perform an automatic 50+ hit combo. Okay, you have to add the dashing part via modifiers, but it's roughly the same. You basically design a maneuver more or less from the ground up, with the damage depending on how many APs you want to invest. Not to bad, but there's something better coming soon.
  
• Mega-Attack: A super version of a normal maneuver you can get cheaper if you already own the normal version. Chi cost is raised to 12 or doubled (whichever is higher), Damage is increased by +2d6, and Accuracy drops by 2. Oh, and it costs ALL your AP for that turn. Seeing how it hits multiple opponents automatically, I think Chi star is the better option here.
  
• Power Storm: A weaker, multi-turn version of Chi Star that expands as it goes along. Doesn't quite have the same oomph.
  
• Rage Burn: Turns on surprise sex mode for 4 turns, during which you gain +2 Accuracy and Move on everything and double your Base APs, which is roughly equivalent to giving you a free turn. I think we have a winner here.
  
• Super Attack Combo: The super version of a combo maneuver. It doesn't have an AP limit, is cheaper to get, and your opponent can't avoid the hits at all if the first strike is successful.
  
• Super Normal Maneuver: A normal maneuver that has nothing special about it, but can only be used as a super. I don't think the cost reduction of -2 is worth this. The Enraged Use modifier gives you the same cost reduction, but doesn't actually take away your Rage with use.

• No melee weapon has a positive AP modifier, with almost everyone actually having a negative one. Yes, that mace is faster than your Light Punch.
  
• The No-Dachi has a AP mod of "+1d6", which I'm pretty sure belongs into the Damage column, bringing it in line with the two-handed sword (those two are the only melee wepaons with random modifiers).
  
• Katanas are underpowered in Thrash. Longswords have the exact same stat, but deal more damage.
  
• One-handed weapons are generally better than their two-handed counterparts, which sometimes don't even deal that much more damage.
  
• No missile weapon deals more damage than a Heavy Punch. Most don't even surpass the Light Punch
  
• Automatic firearms on the other hand hurt a lot, though this is countered by them not getting a Damage Bonus

• Health is multiplied by 5
  
• You have unlimited Chi (just like in the video games)
  
• Dizzying Threshold is doubled
  
• Rage Threshold is multiplied by 4, and every attack while enraged deals tripple damage
  
• APs are doubled
  
• The laws of the universe force everyone to stop fighting and listen to whenever one participant wants to make a dramatic speech

• Armor (1-4): Basically up to 4 levels of Body Hardening for half the price. Now that's more like it.
  
• Computer System (1-5): You have a built-in computer that can make calculations and stuff for you, with the level standing for its Intelligence. I think this needs some fudging.
  
• Energy Source (4): You regenerate Chi faster, though not as fast as to matter in combat.
  
• Integrated Weapon (Variable): You have a built-in weapon. The cost depends on its damage, with firearms paying a bit extra.
  
• Sensors (1-4): A extra bonus for perception rolls.

• Elemental Rage: A variation of Rage Burn. Instead of doubling your AP, you are automatically affected by your Elemental Aura and can spam maneuvers without regard of their Chi or Willpower cost (the latter doesn't exist in Thrash and is most likely a copy-and-paste remnant of that time this was a SF:STG sourcebook). If you have lots of Chi maneuvers, I guess this is kinda nifty. I'd still go for Chi-less maneuvers to spam with normal Rage Burn.
  
• Elemental Vortex: Teleport on the global scale. Takes a long while to reappear, and you can teleport to something within your LOS. The only use this has in combat is to just plain disappear without a trace, which can be handy if your a superhero or fight outside of tournaments.
  
• Elemental Wall: Create obstacles in combat.
  
• Impervious to Element: One of those maneuvers that's actually an advantage. this one makes you immune against your element of choice, though attacks based on those elements still do half damage.
  
• Sense Element: Another non-maneuver. This one does exactly what it says, making this a bit pointless for air elementals.

• Control Weather, Flight, Smoke: I think these are just D&D spells converted into Thrash maneuvers o_O
  
• Hurricane Burst: This super allows you to ram into people like Superman. A bit lackluster, seeing how your attack is delayed by 3 turns like an especially high-jumping Final Fantasy dragoon. It has the unique trait of guaranteeing a knockdown, but you can probably already do a lot more to your enemy in 3 turns.
  
• Summon Storm: Wait 3 turns in which you can't do anything else in order to gain Electric Homing Chi blasts that cost less Chi than usual. Yay?
  
• Wind Strike: Exactly the same as Force Punch, but air-themed.

• Fissure: Cause a guy to fall through a crack in the ground, dealing a bit of damage and taking him out of the fight for around 1 turn.
  
• Pillar: Create pillars for platforming action.
  
• Wrath of the Earth: This Super causes ground spikes to attack the opponent for your Focus / 2 in turns, dealing automatic 1d10 damage per turn, while you can still act normally. Pretty evil.

• Energize: You can recharge batteries and stuff. You can also regain Chi by absorbing electricity, but the conversion rate is a bit meh (2 car batteries equal 1 Chi point).
  
• Lightning Bolt: The legendary LARPing spell. Dodging this only works if the opponent beats your roll by at least 6 (aka "an additional +6 Accuracy against evasion"). Sadly, the AP and Chi starts off too high to munchking down to something more abusive.
  
• Shock: Basically like Elemental Aura, but a bit worse.
  
• Soldering: Weld stuff with your hands, granting skill bonuses to repairing and engineering. Not sure how often you'd need this.

• Feed/Extinguish Fire: Exactly what it says on the tin.
  
• Firestorm: This super maneuver calls fire down for several turns in a large radius around you, attacking everyone, including yourself. The other players will probably hate your for pulling this off.
  
• Magma Blast: A less accurate, but also less Chi intensive Flaming Chi Blast. I'd probably just take Chi Blast and dump down the Chi cost.
  
• Smoke: See Air Elementals

• Ice Blade: Create a blade made out of ice, which is slightly crappier than a normal longsword.
  
• Ice Slick: Sub-Zero's hilarious prank move.
  
• Ice Slide: This non-maneuver prevents you from falling prey to stuff like the above maneuver and in fact triples your Move on icy surfaces.
  
• Ice Storm Blitz: This super is like Firestormm, except with a smaller radius and far less damaging.

• Flechette: This ranged maneuvers debuffs its target with a -1 penalty on all rolls for every 3 health points it takes away. This lasts for "a few hours", making this pretty darn broken when spammed.
  
• Iron Spike Wave: A Knockdown line super maneuver.
  
• Magnetism: This non-maneuver allows you to attract or repulse iron. In combat, this allows you to boost your thrown weapons or deflect incoming bullets or weapons.
  
• Soldering:See Electricity Elemental

• Lower Water: Apart from lowering bodies of water like in Age of Wonders or something, you can also counter water based attacks and create air bubbles for you and your friends.
  
• Summon Wave: This gnarly maneuer is essentially a weaker, non-super version of the Iron Spike Wave.
  
• Swimming: Become super fast and good while in water.
  
• Weater Breathing: Now you don't need air bubbles anymore.
  
• Water Vortex: Just like Whirlwind.
  
• Water Walk: You are Jeebus.

• Animate Plants: Animate and control plants - which doesn't help much in combat as they're slow as gently caress.
  
• Soul Merge: Become one with a park or other big chunk of vegetation, with some pretty boss effects: You can't be surprised in the area, gain +3 Accuracy on anything, and you can use Animate Plants to do fun stuff like punching/kicking people with vines and branches as if they were your limbs.
  
• Splinterburst: The exact same as Flechette, but the Prerequisite is Focus 5 instead of 6 for some reason.

• Bite (1): You gain the bite maneuver, which deals +2 damage for 8 APs. No, thank you.
  
• Climbing: You have a climbing skill of 8. You don't even get anything fancy like being able to walk on walls or something.
  
• Claws (2): +2 damage to punches and kicks, but not for closed-fisted punches, which I think are most of them.
  
• Flight (4), Gills (2): Nothing fancy here, you get what you pay for. Flight sadly doesn't seem to allow to stay high in the air during combat, which I guess is sensible for balance reasons.
  
• Regrowth (4): Recover an extra 1d6 Health per day and regrow limbs. Very handy in a Mortal Kombat campaign.
  
• Running (2), Swimming (2): Boosts your respective movement mode, with Running allowing you to go twice as far as normal. Nobody can escape your wrath (except for teleporting elementals).
  
• Tails (2): You get either a combat tail or a prehensile tail (for 4 CPs, your tail can do both). The latter is a rudimentary hand, whereas the former allows you to punch stuff with your tail and "select certain special maneuvers which require such a tail". There is no such maneuver in this book.
  
• Temperature Resistence (2): Resist either heat or cold, though does nothing against fire or ice attacks.
  
• Venom (4):Poison people, inflicting your Stamina in damage over 6 turns. Usually requires you to Bite people, which is why that maneuver tends to be required. If the poison does stack, this could be pretty evil.

• Claw Storm Charge: This Super Move consists of a dash followed by 4 claw attacks. Hilarious much weaker to Sherry's Quickening Knuckle. Low AP ftw!
  
• Leaping Rake: Jump over your opponent and attack with weaksauce damage (just +3 Damage)
  
• Pounce: Jump on your opponent. Causes knockdown and boost accuracy for the next grapple maneuver.

• Induce Blindness: A LOS-ranged attack that can blind people for several turns, giving them a -5 penalty to sight-based stuff (aka everything of importance) and halves their AP. Ouch!
  
• Induce Rage: Make an opponent super pissed at you, giving them Rage points. I'm pretty sure this can backfire easily.
  
• Kinetic Strike: A spontaneous modifier for extra damage and knockdown. The Chi and AP cost are a bit prohibitive, though.
  
• Mind Crush: Makes an opponent give up fighting. Though the way it's written, this can only every happen if your opponent has very, very low Will.
  
• Pain: About as cheesy as Induce Blindness, but you have to keep it up each turn. On the plus side, it auto-hits, so sit back while the other PCs beat the debuffed opponent to bloody pieces.
  
• Possession: Take control of another character's body, which I'm sure is handy to derail campaigns.

• Divination: Your general package of abilities to keep the plot moving
  
• Elemental Power: Allows you to buy elemental maneuvers without actually being an elemental. Your choice of elements in limited to your magic system's philosophy (western, Japanese, Chinese), ruling out ice and electricity.
  
• Enchantment: You can create artifacts, though it takes too long to be of use for PCs.
  
• Healing: A bunch of healing abilities with names that are at least partially stolen from D&D.
  
• Illusion: Mess with people's head, including multiple images that give you a 33% percent chance to not get hit by an attack, invisibility, as well as a make-believe armor and chi blasts that only work on people who think it's real. Unless I'm missing something, illusions seem to always work unless the opponent has this magic path as well, as this gives you the ability to see through illusions.
  
• Lines: Allows you to tap into those Dragon/Ley Lines. You also need the Feng Shui skill for this.
  
• Necromancy: Most of this is general debuffing, including the lovely Pain maneuver, and Enfeeblement spell that reduces Agility for days, and an Energy Drain that will permanently reduce your victim's Agility by 1, which can't be reversed by anything. Well, at least the created undead are kinda weaksauce, though their opponents won't look much better after their master whips up some scrolls.
  
• Summoning: Ward off, summon and control various things. Sadly most of this basically amounts to "let the GM make up stats". Though funnily, you can actually summon and bind normal humans.
  
• Warding: Shinto stuff, including a handy ward that puts people to sleep.

• Beast Focus: You can use Focus maneuvers through your animal companion. Surprise horse hadoken!
  
• Share Chi: You and your animal can trade Chi points around. Since an animal's Chi is based on its Stamina, elephants are actually kinda useful as Chi battieres. Does this have a range limit? Doesn't look like it
  
• Share Life: For you Focus times 10 in minutes, you and your animal companion share a single pool of Health. Wait a sec, elephants are becoming more awesome by the second!
  
• Shared Eyes: You see through your animal's eyes.
  
• Beast Rage: Your animal companion gets enraged. The buffs (+3 to Accuracy, with defenders suffering a further -5 due to the onslaught) acutally kinda make up for a lack of style bonuses

• Belt of Strength: +4 Strength. Now here's someting everyone would want to get.
  
• Boots of Quickness: +4 Agility. This one's even better!
  
• Coat of Concealment: Allows you to conceal any weapon up to 4 feet in length.
  
• Enchanted Weapons: Oh, now here's something for weapon users. Neat stuff includes Conduit (shoot your hadoken through your weapon), Magnifier Conduit (the same, but with +3 Damage and +1 Move), Electrical and Fire Strike (each adding +1d6 damage) and of course Speed (-2 AP)
  
• Gloves of Power: +3 Damage for punches. Sherry's favorite after those boots.
  
• Hat of the Unseen: A kinda neat sort of invisiblity that just makes you not stand out at all, even if your a hulking cyborg.
  
• Robe of Blending: +4 to Stealth rolls
  
• Serpent Staff: Moses had one of those. Doesn't really sound all that great.

• Silhouette CORE: The crunch and nothing but (though I could do the rules along with a setting)
  
• Heavy Gear: Not-VOTOMS, though that was already partially covered here.
  
• Jovian Chronicles: Not-Gundam
  
• CORE Command: Our smallest fighter is as big as a Corvellian Corvette o_O

• Burst of Angst: Traumatic events can cause you to go berserk, allowing you to boost most of your attributes at the cost of becoming a bit mentally unstable. Typical underaged mecha pilot stuff.
  
• Creative Stunt: For all your MacGyuver needs.
  
• Inner Well of Strength: Ignore wound penalties through sheer badassery.
  
• Last Hurrah: If you have to go down, go down with a bang.
  
• Sweet Success: Your standard skill roll boost.
