Can be spelt Mouko Takabisha. or Takabishiya... or whatever... People know
what you mean in any case...

takabisha/shya.  not shiya or sa.

Whatever... I was writing in a hurry... And anyway, I've never seen it spelt
that way! I think Takabisha is pretty much gospel anyway...

        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.

He's only done this once or twice... It hardly counts...

in the video game, it's treated like a special attack...(and a very good
one)

Were we talking about that? I don't think so...

        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.

It's _Kacchu_ Tenshin Amiguri Ken, isn't it? Does anyone know how this is 
really spelt?

kachuu tenshin amaguriken...although you might just shorten it
to tenshin amaguriken or just amaguriken (after all, who has time
to call out silly words in the middle of a pulse-pounding fight?

Thank you... It was the amaguriken I was never sure about... Never did
bother to actually check the manga... hmm...

heheeh..reminds me of marvel comics...they speak volumes in the time
it takes to throw one punch :> )

Natch. That's what voice bubbles are. And besides, incredibly long winded
special attacks are part of the charm of martial arts manga and games et 
al.. 


P-word.
