(Okay technically he didn’t mention shields so it’s possible those are only getting 3 skills. Only reason I can see that happening is if the blocking needs to be balanced out by fewer moves? But I doubt it.)
I just realized that Karate and Knocking Fist were taken off the Fighting Style Types card on the Trello.
R.I.P. CrimsonPants’ dreams and an ancient AA concept
Good riddance to Karate
BUT NOOOOO NOT KNOCKING FIST
I can’t believe my IRL fighting style got removed 
Oof 
Is the new FS maybe one associated with explosion as element?
Since you know karate can you confirm whether or not it’s grab/grappling-based? It is in AO but I’ve heard that that’s a misinterpretation of the real martial art. I’m a bit nervous relying on that alone to form my opinion though, so it’d be cool to hear from someone who really knows it.
gunpowder, yes…But pocket sand is funnier
4 spirit weapons now since Satyrs use one so i would assume they would drop it
Satyrs will have at least two spirit weapon types, since the Dark Sea card says “wands and staffs”
And YESSS NEW FIGHTING STYLES!!! This is so exciting, we haven’t gotten any since release!
Also I didn’t expect we’d be getting Satyrs and Atlantean Sirens in full release. I thought the Dark Sea wasn’t going to get new additions until after the Nimbus Sea ended, but this is a very pleasant surprise.
Sounds like it. If it applies Charred, then Berserkers will have petrify synergy with Powder + Thermo
About time strength users got something most already starved to death 
Let’s hope for that 80-Strength technique too 
And the -30 reqs on base techniques
WE NEED PARITY
Hot hell, I actually get to teach something (without sounding like a bumbling idiot)?!
So the weird thing about Karate in reality is that there’s a lot of different versions of it; some are similar to other grab-based styles such as Judo, while the form I’ve learned is focused on speed and power. Most, if not all, of the moves such as the Reverse Punch and Back Kick gain much speed and power from quick turns of the hips. Punches specifically use snaps of the wrists as well.
There are grabs in the type of karate I’ve learned, but they’re mostly relegated to self-defense techniques that the creator of my type made, which was fairly long ago. Grabs generally focus on taking ahold of an opponent’s limbs (typically the arms/hands) and keeping them locked in place. Basically, my style isn’t really based on grabs, but other types are.
Also, most grabs are learned based on what belt you’ve earned. I got my Black Belt two years ago, and I’ve been learning more of the advanced techniques. Oh, and I got a katana. My older sister is SEETHING because of that. There’s actually about five weapons learned over time from Green Belt onwards, namely the Nunchuks, Staff, Sais, Tonfas, and Katana. There was also a bladed fan, but that was dropped for some reason, which is a major shame.
I believe in equality of all stats
That’s super interesting! Thank you very much for sharing
I think Powder fist will be well liked.
But i will never again know the joy of knocking fist.
