This ykttw would look prety bad compared to existing tropes (at least some of them). Descriptions having poor standards backfires.

I. You can recognize a pattern in consistent, repeating action bits, like: he hits often or he hits occasionally; he favors very precise strikes; he shrugs off most of the incoming damage attempts; he disables an opponent first and only then delivers blows; he never aims, instead sprays; he can only down a mook after connecting a standard hit 300 times, while his colleagues take nine to fifteen.

II. You can only try and fail at any objectivity when going by qualities inherently lacking a universal criteria. He is strong but poorly defended ("strong"? "poorly"?); he moves fast, but his attack would do little damage (faster than what? little damage to whom?); he is heavy and loud (betcha he wouldn't last on our local bazaar regardless).

You can't properly have a pattern behind a list of criteria-less character traits, if there isn't something solid to translate from (kind of paragraph I material). This ykttw is about being definitely fast and definitely weak. Yeah, that'll float all the way down the sewers just fine. (Unless no one is ever again allowed to have doubts.)
