At first glance it appears that many of the martial arts and manuevers from CC will translate fairly well to SR4. Without having the book on hand it seems like a guy could just substitute every TN modifier for a dice pool modifier and come with nearly the same result. This is off the cuff but I don't have the CC on me atm.
Thoughts? Anyone tried this and how did it work? |

Well, manevers indeed are partially usefull to translate, just martial arts themsleves are not: SR4 has a very different approach on Close Combat concerning skills.
It would be best to simply buy any desired maneuver for the chosen SR4 melee skill. |

I got the book recently - I was tempted ty try a number of translations to SR4 style from MiTS and Canon, lol.
I would say that instead of getting +2 when specializing in martial arts, you instead buy your first manuver that way - thus starting one of the combat styles. Of course, I haven't figured out how I would handle multiple styles - perhaps you pay the spec with each 'new' one, and as far as learning manuvers go - every two ranks gets you one. The cost system is different enough to cover that I think. I wanna a familiar! lol, that looked soooo fun....even if it's the wrong book for this topic. |

Don't even try to bother with retrofitting the skill set.
Simply choose the maneuvers fitting for the style to be described and pay them - problem solved, what the character calls is style is fluff anyway. That neatly solves the problem of weapon styles, too - just buy the maneuvers for the rest of the melee skills. |
