I agree that most of the time wuxia martial artists are just superheroes by another name. Skill is generally a non-factor until two such fighters are in a direct contest. But that's true of a lot of media, skills work 100% of the time until two people with the same skill duke it out. Unless its specifically a story about a student or apprentice or such that can't do things reliably.
