Martial Arts has posture effects you can get a feel from, and there's also this image Bruno made. It covers SM's -4 through +1.

Re: [RULES] Combat between Giant and man.

I had a peek at MA98 but there it's said that for (very) different SM creatures one has to use Combat at Different Levels, and I already said I didn't find very useful that setcion (B402) in this regard.
Anyway, thank you for the picture link, it will be very useful when figuring hit locations when GMing melees involving different sized humanoids.
