> You introspect your Parrying. You have neatly adapted to using the Gauntlets - they are like a second skin to you now. With them, you have been able to block many a grievous attack. Unfortunately, what damage you tend prevent to your fleshy bits instead applies to your hands and forearms instead, which really builds up in a protracted fight - you consider developing a technique to improve your long-term blocking capability. On the other hand, you have learned to parry minor danmaku, redirecting a bullet's momentum just enough with a powerful strike to send it away from you. You think you could work on this to develop a technique that blocks any attack with a physical component directed straight at you that you have seen before.
> You can only do one of the two, currently.
> You introspect your Awareness. Your ability to recall and analyze past events is unparalleled, giving you a strong edge in combat against an opponent with little variety to their techniques. You are able to learn and copy others' techniques, as long as you can figure out their purpose. Additionally, you have learned to use your Qi, the life-energy circulating within every human being, to sense supernatural attacks and effects. You cannot use your senses when you're surprised, however, potentially giving opponents a vital few seconds to gain an advantage in. An approach to be ready for attacks, even when not expecting combat, would alleviate that problem. Additionally, your enhanced Qi sense, experienced briefly when you loose a kiai, still only augments your natural senses - you are at a severe disadvantage if these senses cannot be used properly, or are hindered by their limitations. Enhancing your Qi sense to a true "sixth" sense would vastly enhance your perception.
