[MA/Powers] Hikuta

[Icelander]

How would you stat Hikuta in GURPS?

Actually, I just wanted others to be able to enjoy this wonderful site of sober and realistic claims.

Don't know what the actual training is like (could be Art or could be actual Combat skill, depending on the principles and teaching method) but it sounds like it's coupled with Delusion: My martial art is the ultimate fighting style. I'd judge the severity of that delusion based on how blatantly wrong the assertion is. It's one thing to be a competent fighter with an exaggerated opinion of one's prowess, it's another to be the dupe of a dishonest instructor, flailing his arms and calling it "fighting".

I don't think we have to stat anything. We just have to give it to our Munchkin players, and they'll do the rest for us. After all, they're paragons of realistic depiction and rational understanding. Just like the author of that article.

I suspect overconfidence is required, and probably delusion (I can beat anyone in a fight) incredibly common.

I couldn't finish reading the first page, I was giggling pretty badly and my eyes were fit to roll right out of my head.

I approve!

[Humabout]

So perhaps more appropriately:

Hikuta! Innate Attack 10d (Crushing; Melee, Can Parry, -30%; Pact, Overconfidence (6), OPH (Overly Aggressive), -1, -15%; Unreliable , -5%) [25].
