So, a couple days ago I was watching some Baki (2018) and was struck by an idea right between the eyes. The idea is thus;
The various Splats both 'Canon' (such as V:tR, W:tF, M:tA, P:tC, etc, etc) and 'Fan-Made' (like G:tT, P:tH, L:tCC, M:tE and so on and so on) have all been around for extensive periods of time In-Universe, right? Right. Ergo, what if some of them had had the Idea of creating their own racial Martial Arts? And by that, I mean a fighting style that incorporated that specific race's own capabilities, both in-born (take, for example, a Werewolf's sheer regenerative power, a Vampire's ability to just keep going in the face of everything short of applying fire and sunlight to their everything and a Leviathan's or Monarch's shapeshifting capabilities) and acquired (think along the lines of a Mage's spells, a Genius's Wonders and a Hopeful's Charms). Of course, there'd be quite a large number of styles, sub-styles, schools of thought and so on due to the sheer variety within each race.
Naturally, of course, upon learning of the fighting styles of the others, each race would attempt to co-opt the fighting styles of every other race to use (though said copies would be lesser to the originals due to the need to substitute powers required for the original with the closest approximate equivalent). And that's not even getting into the copies developed by mortals!
So! Waddaya guys think? Yay or Nay? Anything you want to add or change? Please let me know!
