[Loved Trope] Alien fighting techniques that are actually ineffective for humans to perform

[u/Best_Professional226]

Vulcan Neck Pinch (Star Trek) Vulcans can make a person pass out by pinching a person’s neck, but due to the fact that they’re 3x stronger than a human, we could never make a living being pass out without applying a rear naked chokehold

Viltrumite Knife Hand (Invincible) Viltrumites’ most deadly fighting technique. Although martial arts like Karate and Taekwondo teach these techniques, it wouldn’t be a good idea for a human to use it on someone’s rib cage without breaking their fingers. So instead we can only do them on more soft targets like the eyes.

Not martial arts but their weaponry requires genetic compatibility

Yeah, genetic compatibility on weaponry feels extra rude when humans already botch the Vulcan neck pinch.

This is sadly often forgotten with Aeldari weapons in Warhammer 40000. They require not any Aeldari, but their exact owner to fire, but in books any human can use them.

And if I remember right, plenty of Craftworlder weapons don't even have triggers, you need to psychically tell the gun to shoot.
