Karate Kid, reimagined

[palaskar]

Well, I finally finished that writeup of KK where I give him every (and I mean EVERY) martial art in the galaxy. Feel free to correct me on the Legion equipment.

 

BTW, how do I get that nice formatting everybody uses? Right now, I'm stuck with cut-and-paste, so it's going to look a bit sloppy. Here goes:

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined

 

Well, I did say EVERY martial art in the galaxy.

 

Glad you liked it.

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined

 

Why does he have a 55 STR?

[Maelstrom]

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined

 

Because he is a Master of Sinanju. 55's about right.

[Guest steamteck]

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined

 

Chuin and Remo can pick up buses or throw cars dozens of yards?

 

Seriously I admittedly haven't read all the books but I never envisioned that sort of superhuman STR. I always thought extra MA damage.. 55 just wow! That means he can hurl a small car 10' from a standing throw. Its and impressive bulid and well thought out but 55 :eek:

[palaskar]

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined

 

Actually, the 55 STR is from Krillin's writeup from (Surbrook's?) DBZ conversion. It seems to be a convention that Krillin is the strongest of the "normal" human fighters, so I figured I'd put KK at that level.

 

(BTW, the writeup of Chiun and Remo I found gives them a 45 STR. )

OOOK:help:. I love all the martial arts you've included from different sources BTW.

Re: Karate Kid, reimagined

 

Thanks. I basically just used Black Cat's (another poster's character, not the Marvel one), and then just went through the whole "fictional martial arts" list on Wikipedia.

 

Needless to say, it was not a small task.
