Power Grappling and 'grappling rolls'

That's absolutely true. The "problem" (debatable) is that not only does the strong guy have this significant advantage, but he paid 1 point for it. Other 1 point perks are things like Iron Hands or Ground Guard which I hope you will agree are significantly less useful. The ST guy also has nice utility in striking with higher HP, damage, and BL for times where Karate or low tech equipment are needed.

From a character concept standpoint: between two equally skilled opponents, of course the larger and stronger should win. This was entirely true of most historical warriors across all cultures. But in typical game terms, the larger and stronger person should have had to pay more (higher level), or else what's the incentive to play a tiny 70s-cliche judoka?
