STREETFIGHTING
By Flash Fire

NOTE: This is not, I repeat *not*, based on the Streetfighter series of arcade games.

"Give me your fu-- AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!"

Street Fighting is the not-so-gentle art of breaking another human being in several different places. Unlike most forms, this "art" has no philosophy, makes no attempt to improve the character of its practicers, and has no overall object other than to hurt people. Like Juijutsu, the point of Streetfighting is "Whatever works!" Its practicers train to attack and kill their opponents with the least amount of risk to themselves. As such, it sees a wide variety of moves and techniques, each chosen by whatever the individual finds to be most effective. Weapons training is common, as is adopting moves from whatever martial art the individual may have studied before or seen in other arenas.

Entrance Requirements: ME of 12 or higher. A high PE, PS, and PP are preferred, but not absolutely necessary.
Skill Cost: Four Years (2 if this is a Secondary Form)
Costume: Whatever the Martial Artist pulled out of the closet that day.
Stance: Stance is determined by the individual, but almost all will involve keeping the martial artist's "weapons" between him and his opponent.
