Default Re: Opinions on cinematic martial arts skills?

I find the skills that take 33 seconds to activate so limited to be next to unusable. I've gotten around that a few times with a penalty reduction feature on customized Masterful Training, priced as a medium group rather than small, just because of the potency of these skills...

Thank you Mr. Rice!

Another alternative to help with these is a level of Compartmentalized Mind or ATR to squeeze in some concentration time.

Oooh, that's perfect, somehow I missed that one. (For those who've also missed it: it's Powers p. 50). That actually works out pretty nicely—something like Flight (Requires Surface, -20%; Slow, Air Move equals Basic Speed, -25%; Chi, -10%) [19] ends up being quite affordable.
I'm a big fan of Flight (only in contact with a surface) for Speedster builds... Run your character right across that lake or up a wall.
