Ah geez. Sorry but I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I myself do a bit of Savate  in free time and some Qigong at school. While Qigong isn't your stereotypical Fighting Martial Art, it is still a Martial Art. When I use the excersises and forms I learn in one thing and put it into another, I get a much higher result. I have never actually met, much less fought anybody who was capable of finding the weaknesses in the form, as well as the fact that a wider range of Martial Arts gives a larger arsenal of moves.

I know that we're not talking about real life but this is what gave me the perspective of giving Silas Savate. And besides, just because you know a bunch of moves doesn't mean you have to strictly stick to them. As far as I'm concerned, I only learn them for inspiration on something completely different. Pretty much put together two different colours and you'll almost always get something different. It's the same for martial arts.

And yeah, I get where you're coming from when you talk about how Street Fighters are often depicted in smashing the Martial Artists. But usually those guys have only learnt one style, as well as the fact that they consistantly cling to their old traditions. As far as I know, I have NEVER seen a Manga or Anime character who uses multiple fighting forms, as well as abandoning the old traditions and instead using new ones. The closest examples I would think of would be the Vandenreich Quincy guys in Bleach. Old is Original but New almost always leads to a much better product

Also yeah it's true. Nobody is invincible...unless there's some ridiculously hax character that Zico hasn't shut down yet. But there always is a limit to how strong somebody can become, and there's always somebody out there better. And if nobody out there is better, another will be born soon enough. That's why it's survival of the fittest...or at least from my perspective.
