Umm, thanks to the guys who came up with alternate names, but I feel I
should clarify it for those of you who didn't figure it out.  I wanted
JAPANESE names, to use in fanfics.  

For convenience, I'm reprinting the original message here.

**********************

OK, once again, thanks to all the people who volunteered to help. 
Essentially I'd like to get as many ideas for these names as I can, because
I plan to use these moves a lot in fanfics, so some good names would be
nice.

So please, if you have some good ideas, please send them.

The list (by martial artist):

Ryoga:

Variant on Shi Shi Hodokan:
-Instead of one HUGE blast, I want a rapid series of small ones (can anyone
say machine gun,boys and girls?)

Variant of Moko Takabisha: 
-Instead of Fierce Tiger Domineering, I want Fierce LION Domineering.

Variant on above Variant:
-same machine gun-type thing.

Variant on Breaking Point (what's the Japanese name for this?)
-I call it Rolling Thunder, but it's essentially a remote breaking point.
-Ryoga gathers chi in his hands, stabs the ground.  A bright flash travels
the ground and explodes at the point where he targetted.

Righteous Fist (yea, I stole the name....)
-big, powerful, mountain destroying, instant knockout punch

Ground Wave
-Ryoga slams his hands into the ground, and a wave travels to his target,
knocking it over

Ranma:

Variant on Moko Takabisha:
-Instead of one HUGE blast, I want a rapid series of small ones (can anyone
say machine gun,boys and girls?)

Buzzsaw Hands:
-hands vibrate so fast he cuts through things

Variant on Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken:
-instead of being a flurry of punches or kicks, it's a combination of
attacks (a la Killer Instinct) at super high speeds.

Clone:
-Ranma moves so fast it looks like he's doubled when he fights

Righteous Kick
-like Righteous Fist, but with FEET!

Mousse:

Death Whirl:
-Mousse spins really fast, throwing out weapons to hit his enemies (deigned
for combat on groups)

Shield of Steel:
-Mousse uses his weapons to form a protective barrier

Defensive Focus
-Mousse's battle aura shows,  he focusses ALL of his attention on defending
Shampoo, I mean he stops caring if he gets hit, he doesn't attack, nada.

Shampoo:

Cat Aura:
-Shampoo suddenly looks ALOT more threatening than she really is

Offensive Focus
-Shampoo stops caring if she gets hit, focusses all of her battle aura on
hitting her opponent

Cat-scratch:
-the attack portion only of the Cat-Fist (no cat mind, no enhanced
reflexes/instincts, only the aility to shred things)

Ukyo:

Unnamed:
-Ukyo gathers chi (on her spatula) and throws a "(" shaped projectile at
her opponent.

Razor Shield:
-Ukyo spins her spatular really fast, so anything attacking her gets rather
cut up.

Combinations: (moves where two people get together to do them)

Two Bodies, One Mind:
-two people fight as one

Inter Continental Ballistic Ranma: (hey, I couldn't come up with anything
better)
-Ryoga grabs Ranma's hands, whirls around really fast
-he then throws Ranma at their opponent, whom Ranma hits with a kick. HARD.

Variant on Moko Takabisha & Shi Shi Hodokan:
-Ranma gathers all his chi in his hand, Ryoga does the same
-they bring their hands together, and shoot out a BIG, NASTY blast

The Rock and The Wind
-Ryoga stands and deals damage (big, slow, strong)
-Ranma uses Ryoga as a shield/cover for his own attacks
-Ranma tries to block as many hits to Ryoga as possible

Others: (not given to a fixed person):

Variants on Chi Blasts: 

Howling Wolf Projectile:
-I use this in Here We Go Again - based on love and rage

Fierce WOLF Domineering:
-Moko Takabisha, but with a wolf motif

Chaos Whirl:
-series of attacks where the attacker telegraphs one move but hits with
another

Unamed
-like Hiryu Shoten Ha, but a kick, and wolf motif
-instead of a dragon whirlwind, it's a wolf-pack whirlwind



ANYWAY, that's it.  I know, it's a HUGE list, but this should last me
through the next 5 or 6 fanfics.  Thanks to anyone who can help!!!!!
