Default Brachiator = Super Climbing or Enhanced Move (Air?)?

To speed up Brachiation, do I use Super Climbing or Enhanced Move (Air? Brachiation?)?

Thanks.

Under 'Super Climbing' Powers says:
Quote:
Many creatures - realistic and fantastic - climb as fast as they walk. Brachiators often move faster while climbing...
Which implies that Super Climbing increases Brachiating move, but doesn't state it outright.

Thing is, Brachiators don't just climb, they also swing. I'd do Enhanced Move, myself.

I think I've seen a reference to it as Enhanced Move (Air), in context of limiting Enhanced Move (Air) to fit it better. Might have been in Psionic Powers? I'm really not sure.

From Enhanced Move (Powers, p. 49):
Environmental (p. 110) is allowed, but only if it limits Enhanced Move to a subset of its usual environment. For instance, Enhanced Move (Air) couldn't take Environmental, Air (-5%) – but it could have Environmental, Trees or tall buildings (-20%) in order to benefit Move with Brachiator (p. B41) but not Flight.
This would generally also come with the limitation just after that – All-Out, -20% – if all your limbs are tied up with climbing and swinging.

Thanks.

So, to be clear, Super Climbing doesn't help Brachiator?

Correct. Brachiator isn't about climbing, beyond giving you a body pattern that makes that easier (whence the +2 to Climbing skill). Brachiator is about flying through the air like Tarzan or Spider-Man.
