Segal is an aikido man. I think Chuck Norris could beat the crap out of him.

I think that no matter who wins, the people watching lose.

I don't know about that. What could be more hysterically awesome than Chuck Norris beating up Van Damme?

I don't have a problem with Norris. I've disliked almost all of his movies, but he's a great guy. Seagal, on the other hand...
Chuck beating up Seagal? |

Hey, none of these 3 guys were any great shakes as actors; in fact, they were all pretty damned bad. I would argue that Norris is the best "actor" of the bunch, but that's damning with faint praise at best.
In terms of being able to fight though, I would probably rank them Norris, Seagal, then van Damme, purely from rumor mill and magazine chatter (excluding the age factor for Norris). |

I'd rank Van Damme above Segal because Van Damme actually has a tournament fighting background and actually exercises. Segal is kind of a walrus relying on his mass distorting gravity around him to make his aikido work.
And, since this thread is about making new skills, I realized what we need to do. We must create a Gymkata skill for SR3. That is the reason I have resurrected this thread after running a Search for Gymkata. |

I can safely say I would stand up and walk away from any gaming table where someone had a dance-off in a club. This is the WORST idea I've ever read. And that includes a troll samurai who wanted a panther assault cannon "sawed-off" to fit under his leather bomber jacket.

I think this thread is hilarious. Though... why do I have a feeling it'd be one of those that would also be appropriate in the Mr. Johnson forbids thread?
As for dancing, I can it of two ways. Actively buying the skill kinda based off of athletics? Or you use the knowledge skill and then a separate athletic skill to pull off the moves, similar to what others have said. As for gymkata... I still rolling from that hilarious portion when he's running through the insane town. Heh, oh look there's a bar in that alley that I can use. How convenient. |

Problem is, I was born in the 80's. I have no desire to revisit Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo against a dystopian backdrop. I'd probably allow someone to start a break-off in a club in one of my games, but I'd promptly have him firebombed by some annoyed bar patron who realised what an unfunny, painful thing it would be.

I would love to see a campaign written up that has the possiblity of avoiding a conflict through a dance off.

Back to a previous discussion about Capoeira and breakdancing.
The biggest difference that I see (aside from intent) is that in Capoeira, the only thing touching the ground is your hands and feet. To fall, loose balance, trip or land on your but is the equivalent of loosing as it is a complete loss of face. @Denicalis, loosen up man, dont be a prick. Some of us just want to get loose and tango. |

Well, I've been flipping ideas around in my head for a Gymkata active skill. I'll do a little write up when I'm done on DSF.
