Basically a bionic that grant you a particular “skill” or in this case: martial art style.[/quote]
And that links into the training problem. Inadequate’s right: DDA neuroscience hasn’t evolved to the point where you can just upload information directly to your brain. The memory bionic works because it’s integrated with your thought/memory patterns and can therefore recreate them, rather than preprogrammed. Instead, the CBM takes over your motor functions: you basically just aim and it puts you through the actual attack. This is modelled as hard-lock at skill 4 whilst the bionic’s active.
Training from an external simulator, which is what I’m getting here, could probably take you to 3 or so: talented beginner/entry-level professional. Unfortunately, so can books.
The benefit I’d expect from a VR sim over book training would be that the simulator does it much faster and probably with less Focus loss. Downsides: it takes power, is at a fixed location (which you’ll need to secure–whilst in VR you would be totally vulnerable to outside attack), and probably requires hacking to either get to or activate. Having separate programs for each weapon/combat skill makes sense, and would improve its long-term utility, I’d imagine.
