I wasn't trying to say it was consistent or got it right only that it was a little more so than Ranma.

I know that this thread has been dead for about three years now but I there was something I needed to know about the Ranma 1/2 Fanon Wiki, Are all the techniques in the techniques section, already used in someones fanfiction or are they just made up by fan's to give ideas to writers?

I think one of the rules of Fannon is that it has to be used frequently enough to be considered somewhat common. If it isn't in a fanfiction at all then how could it be fannon? Something fans do often enough to be mistaken for cannon.

Nabiki taking bets on things is canon; her using the money to keep the dojo afloat is fanon. For fanon to succeed, it must have roots in canon; then the fanficker takes off with it, and if they do a good job, fans assume it's always been there -- or should have been.

Nabiki DID take bets in the anime IIRC, at least the first Ranma vs Ryoga fight. So there's that.

Are these techniques used frequently in fanon? For a lot of these, it's the first time I'm learning about them. I ask because while I'm fairly decent at making up stories arcs and character plots, I'm atrocious at making up new martial arts moves. I don't want to use something thats been done before a bunch of times but at the same time, I can't seem to think of anything original either.

I'm not the best at describing martial-arts melee combat. So I don't do it. Avoid fights, and if you must have them, stick to the amaguriken, the umisenken, and the moko takabisha. Beyond that, "punch", "kick", and "hit" can do the job.

I could do that but that takes all the details out of the fight. I guess what I'm asking is if the listed techniques has been used before or are well known fannon. If not then I definitely want a stab at it.

Because of Anything Goes supposed combination of multiple arts it is almost impossible to find a description for physical movement or an actual martial arts position/move that has not been used noticeably in fanfiction.
