Redux: [MA] Skills vs. Techniques

Interesting. Very interesting actually. Still it puts much emphasize on styles, which sounds very cinematographic to me. I really feel styles should remain at best cosmetics, or a kind of quirk like "Obvious fighting style" or "Overly telephoned fighting habits" or even worse with skill related disadvantages (some sports emphasize so much point earning that actual defense is nope).
I tend to think styles just make fighting moves readable. It could enable defensive bonuses to those "reading" it (like in MA68 for TA or MA80 for Combos).
