Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin)techniques

[SuedodeuS]

The ridiculous speed of the actual attack is covered by defense penalties. The ridiculous speed at which Kenshin sometimes moves when performing it is basically the same as shukuchi (he moves at the same speed as soujirou at the end of the duel, right?), meaning Kenshin has a more limited form of that ability (possibly with Accessibility: Only when performing Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki). The left foot comment I made was actually due to that being a "flaw" in the technique - if you notice him step with his left foot, you can more easily parry it. The follow-up attack in the case of a failure would need to use the Failsafe option from my Tricky Techniques thread, but if you look at that link you'll notice that I never really worked out exactly how Failsafe (or even the trick) should work. That thread might still give you some ideas, however.
And, yes, Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki is much stronger than Shuntensatsu. That's a big part of why Kenshin wins that duel, as the swords were probably just about equal.

tg ambro: Yes, I mean turning Innate Attack into a Melee Attack (with the Limitation), then having it use a melee skill. I think this is how Melee Attack is supposed to work anyway, so it probably doesn't change the cost by letting you use Broadsword.
