We begin on a freeway overpass, in the middle of the night. We're standing on opposite sides of the overpass, a stream of cars whizzing past at 80 miles an hour between us. The overpass itself is a large concrete bridge which crosses over an even larger, 8 lane freeway below; a river of flowing red and white lights. Around us are the towering glass and steel monoliths of a modern downtown; 50 story tall buildings, wide lanes of traffic, glittering neon and darkened alleyways.

Systar acts first!
Leap from my side to the median, and from the median to six feet to his side, positioning for an attack. Spend 3 Force Ki for this.
Is that what you had in mind? I'm figuring force for the leaps since they aren't really precise jumps.
Pretty much yeah, but you don't have to say "Force ki". Just ki. Force and skill are just abstract ideas that determine what the target number of the roll and what constitutes a success is. For instance, this sort of thing is low skill, low force so it needs 5 successes and has a skill of 3, so any number 3 or higher counts as a success.
So we're rolling 6 from speed, 3 from ki, and getting an automatic +1 success from the acrobatics skill.
Your roll results:
Your rolls are 5 6 3 3 5 5 5 6 4
You had 9 successes
Well, that was a bit overkill. Still, you need to spend at least 1 ki dice to do ki shit, so it wasn't much wasted.
You don't even have to bend your knees; with a twitch of your toes you send yourself forward in a gentle arc, bounding across traffic like you hopping around on the moon. You land on the central median, balancing yourself on the thin concrete divider before bouncing again and landing on the opposite side of the road, facing Ivan.
9 successes at 3 skill.
6 str, +1 ki usage, +1 unarmed, +5 ki.
Your roll results:
Your rolls are 6 3 6 1 3 1 1 3 5 5 4
You had 8 successes, +2 from skills
"Little man hop well. But can he catch?" Ivan asks as he takes a step into the street. He sweeps a low kick into the grill of a passing taxi and punts it straight up into the air. He spins on his heel, following the momentum of the first kick with another, straight to the undercarriage of the uplifted car. The vehicle folds partially in half with a metal screech and the wreck hurtles straight toward systar.
