Here are a bunch .... lets begin...

1. All about Chi. ... attacks (or defenses)
can be created with it?

        Of course,  you can't really train enough to throw a blast.. but that's how it is in the fictional world.  Anyway, Chi is the 

mysterious life force tha...

"KI" and "CHI" are the same.  If you want to know more about KI, I 
recommend the "KI Homepage".  There is a link to this in Rei's Manga 
Summaries.  Ki is also explored in "STAR WARS" as "the force".  In both 
"Ranma 1/2" and "Star Wars", Ki is eggsagerated, for good reason.  It is 
something that must be FELT, not just by the skin, but by the mind.  
Portraying it in pictures or words or movies falls flat.  It must be 
eggsagerated to keep its awsome effect.

As far as I know (martial artists are secretive about this stuff), The 
Haduoken IS a real technique.  It only travels, say, an inch, and the 
blast is invisible, but its there.  NEVER underestimate the power of KI!

        Ki, is the same thing as Chi.  Chi is the Chinese word for it, and ki is the Japanese and the Korean word for it.

3. Special attacks in Ranma.... who uses it, and a short
description of what it does.

        Moko Takabisa(sp?)  it's Ranma's ki blast using confidence.
        Breaking point attack used by Ryouga to shatter inanimate objects striking a certain point on that object.
        Ultimate Shishihokodan:  A pillar of chi is balsted upwards from Ryouga, and it comes back down, on Ryouga, sourrounding him a 

certian radius.

        Taka Zume Ken:  Mousse's attack.  Mousse jumps in the air, then flys down to his opponent with eagle claws sticking out of his shoe.
        Hiryu Shoten Ha:  Ranma's dragon uppercut that brings a tornado from the punch.
        Tenshin Amaguri Ken:  Rapid punches by Ranma.  So fast you can't see them. Sometimes, it appears as one punch, which it's actually 

hundreds.

        Happo 5 yen Satsu:  Hinako Ninomiya's chi sucking tech.  It sucks your fighting energy away. and leave you almost life less.
        Happo 50 yen Satsu:  Same thing as the 5 yen, but it can suck even when your standing still.
        Happo 5 yen return:  The energy Hinako absorbed is realsed into a blast.

In the dubbed OAV, that last one was "Happo -no yen coin- return".

4. Crossover magical abilities. .... never have the joy of throwing fireballs?

See "Final Fanatsy 3" for this.  There is a martial arts character in 
there that uses KI attack, but they are axagerated to a point of being 
equal to or greater than magic spells.  I beleive this is the best way to 
go.
