RE: How to Write Master Martial Artists
Indeed. Different media will have different requirements. I'd say that static visual media like manga and comics fall in between movies (and games) and written text: the reader should still be able to see what's going on, but he can study the scene at leisure.
Sotrytelling should come first, though I approach fight scenes as an integral part of the story. Then again, I write the kind of stories that demand realistic fight scenes. Stories from other genres, such as slapstick comedy, are going to demand a very different approach to fight scenes, and the fight scenes should be tailored accordingly.
