So, I for one am bloody tired of danmaku. I'd like to see our girls on full-body-contact actions.
Now, this is no place to powerlevel discuss, so let not put them on any kind of ring ok?
First is my wife Yukari. A wise,
lazy calm, elegant beauty. It's quite hard to imagine her rushing to the opponent with a fist isn't it? That's why I presume Wudang is best for her.
So what's Wudang? It's a Chinese ancient art that use "The Flow" to fight. People said it's Tai Chi Quan but actually, Tai Chi Quan is just a part of the clan's skills. The founder of Wudang, Zhang San Fung, was thought to be under Shaolin training and when he went out, he developed Shaolin's fist with his own philosophies and created Wudang. Wudang's arts is strictly connected with Yin-Yang. In Yi Jing, the universe goes as follow:
Void -> Tai Chi -> Yin Yang -> Four Beasts -> Ba Gua -> Unlimited
So, it's Taoism. The arts tried not to fight, but to master the user's own body and mind. Wudang is one of the arts that Japanese would call it "Sei" style for being calm, collected in the fight (Jujitsu) and often goes for defense. The skills are usually used with the palms, move along with the opponent's attacks and counter. Or transfer her Ki (Chi/Inner Force/Magic/...) into the body and attack from within.
The art is quite fitting with her gap ability.
Next is my all time favourite, Mokou. I always think highly of her as a warrior. Why, she definitely went through living hell after drinking the Hourai Elixir. Canon didn't say it, but it's impossible for her to not be freaking strong after a thousand years being immortal. At that times, youkai and human think eating the heart/liver of an immortal being will grant immortality. Mokou must be hunted a lot.
So what style? I personally want her to be a Dou type, with lots of punch and kick and her outfits support my idea: Karatedo.
Well, of course, at the time Mokou drank that elixir there was no Karate, so I'm a bit lost. Nevermind, I'll just make something up and go along. See, for long long time, martial art is all about fighting. Self-defense, killing, attacking, or training, they all conclude in the user hitting something else using parts of her body. Mokou knows how to punch, and that trousers is damn fine for kicks too. I'd let her make an art of her own, quite close to modern Karate, but not necessarily the same.
Let's talk about her ability, using fire. Because she uses phoenix in her fight so I'll give her that for beauty effects. There is a fist, called "Dynamic Punch" (暴破拳) which basically is one of the most destructive fists ever. The theory is, the user focuses heat into her fist, uses her whole body to throw the punch without any hesitation and let the heat explodes after contact. The point is the heat should be transferred into the opponent's body first, the goes to the vital points and explode there. The skill of course is impossible in reality, but this is Mokou we're talking about. They also said that you can use Chi to make the heat, but will result in your hand getting destroyed. Mokou is immortal, so the recoil isn't a problem. This fist is said to be "ultimately destroy anything on its path" but can't be used repeatedly with high speed.
Next, everyone'll hate me if I don't mention Drunken Fist.
Of course this has to be Suika's. Drunken Fist is a famous art, however its origin is unknown. Many people thought it was Shaolin, but no. It indeed has connection, but to be exact, Drunken Fist was first used by the League of Beggars. Shaolin monks after quit mediating (out of the temple, live as a normal guy) usually had drinks with them and mixed the art with Monkey Fist, thus improved the art quite far.
Drunken Fist mimics a drunkard, focuses very strongly on balance and unpredictable moves. The art itself doesn't have a fixed "category", so to use Drunken Fist, the user has to control his body perfectly while being drunk. Pushing her feeling sense to the max to avoid all coming attacks and strike in the most surprising moment. Drunken Fist is not solid as a Karate's punch or a Taekwondo's kick, but it can hurt a hell lot with someone like Suika. The gourd is also the user's weapon, in Drunk Fist, every move is an attack move, even if it's the move when user drinks her booze.
Another girl with Drunken Fist can be Meiling, but I'll talk about her later,
so now, Yuugi. An Oni, loves drinking, being free and doing anything she damn well like. How less beggar-like can this girl be? None. And that's why I want to see her with the strongest attack, the ultimate all-offensive skill of the Beggar League: 18 Subduing Dragon Palms (降龍十八掌). The skill that can defeat a dragon in 18 hits. Using Yi Jing as the base, these 18 hits are all how to use the user's Chi at its finest. This skill alone can defeat everyone, everything and use in every situation. It originally had 28 palms, but later was refined into 18 by Xiao Feng, the legendary leader of the Beggar League and Xu Zhu, his sworn brother.
Actually, this skill in Yuugi's hand is like giving Rambo a light saber...
As the Chinese thing flows (why the hell do I know so much about Chinese while I'm Vietnamese? I don't know, bugger.)
Let's talk about Meiling China. The only Chinese in the game (Miyako is dead, deal with it). She's often seen as a master in Chinese kempo, I don't blame the fan, because with that outfits and being a gatekeeper, she's bound to know some martial arts. So just how much does she know? It can't be "all", no, because Chinese styles have a lot of conflicts. Not only "this style opposes/supports that style" in combat but also in training and philosophies. Like Dou and Sei, training everything at once will lead to insanity or death, of course even as a youkai and can manipulate Chi and stuffs, Meiling can't help herself when she's training "human is the highest form of creature" in Shaolin and "human is created from evils and sins" in Mani Sect together.
So I think it's good for her to focus on one or two specific skills: Dragon Claw and Shadowless Kick.
Dragon Claw is thought to be part of Dragon Fist in Shaolin 12 Animal Fists which uses Water and Wood in Five Elements as base. This Claw is very strong, very strong and mostly use to "scratch" the opponent. This move is unblockable.
Shadowless Kick on the other hand focuses on speed, it goes so fast that her kicks are the same as Lucky Luke's shoots. Of course Meiling doesn't put much force into the kicks, but at that speed its power can't be underestimate. This move is unavoidable.
Sanae, Reimu... What to say? Jujitsu all the way. And I think that solely because such art like Aikido looks damn good with mikos...
Now a bit of modern art don't you think?
My choice is Letty. And of course with her fatty fanon crap, I'd love to see her wrestling. Not normal wrestling, no no no no no no no NO! WWE Wrestling! I suppose you already knew about normal attacks in WWE, so I'll just put her "finishers" here:
