steriaca Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Has anyone seen a good version of the infamous anime martial arts Anything Goes Martial Arts (of Ranma 1/2 fame)? I'm asking, cause I'm wondering how they writen up certen manuvers (like Genma's Cradle From Hell grab, for instant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The only one I can recall is the "Ranma Hero" page put up by Gary Kleppe. You can find it through Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 An obvious note is that ALL maneuvers would be available for a practitioner to choose from. It is, after all, a style where any trick is acceptable. As the manga and anime continued, Ranma and the rest of the cast continually picked up new abilities and even superpowers. By the end Ranma's speed, dexterity and durability were virtually superhuman, and his rival Ryoga already had enormous strength when he made his first appearance. Ranma could even use Street Fighter-style ki blasts! The Chinese Amazons (and their men) had a style so similar that it was virtually the same thing.

steriaca Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 So true on that part. Right now, I own the first series of remastared DVDs (I refuse to call it 'season one' because Viz Media put the two episode 'Golden Pair' storyline which opens season two in the place the manga says it should be, and two other episodes from season two at the end of season one.) and the last 4 disk of Season Seven. So, exactly what are the most common manuvers in this art? What are the singiture non-powers manuvers of this art? I would say theas manuvers: Saotome Secret Tecneque (passing dodge), Genma's Tiger Falling Down Cliff manuver (in anime and manga, a joke way to apologize to Haposai, in the video games, Fistsweep), and Genma's Cradle From Hell (a grab attack where Genma goes on his back and rocks his oponent without letting go... used to unerve Ranma when Ranma surprased Genma).
