"If you're against a martial artist of the same level, having better senses and being able to predict movement will put you at an advantage. Don't be obsessed with simply wielding your spear with all your might. You need to catch the image of the enemy and strike swiftly and deadly on the correct position. As you know, the basis of any weapon based martial art is to find the enemy's weak spot and exploit it. If you can stand above the opponent skill-wise, it's not impossible to defeat a martial artist who is at a higher level than you."
― Cheon Hwi to his student, Hyuk Woon Sung (Chronicles of Heavenly Demon/Heavenly Demon Reborn)
"Your techniques and mine...I am far too young to say it doesn't matter whose are superior!"
― Gouki Shibukawa to Doppo Orochi (Baki)
"What's strength mean to you?
Strength...? Well, even my Super Saiyan Blue form can't keep up with him, so...I guess I need some kinda greater power?
Hmph...power, y'say? Plain old fighting strength? Who the heck taught you that? Vegeta? Freeza?
...
No, that's no way to measure things.
I don't get it, gramps...
We don't master Martial Arts to win fights. We do it to conquer ourselves. Until you learn not to get all caught up in the enemies' power, you'll always be as green as the day we met."
― Muten Roshi and Goku (Dragon Ball Super Manga)
"NO, NO, NO, NO!!!! THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!! I've got more brute strength than I did in my youth!! But he's not budging an inch...!!! His raw power is off the charts...does he have Superman Syndrome!!??"
"Just so we're clear, I don't have Superman Syndrome. This isn't about power, it's about technique...on second thought, maybe even that's not the right word, either...principles? Yeah, the word "principles" sounds right. All I'm doing is holding down the point of the force. Anyone can do this if they know how it works."
"AS IF, YOU MONSTER!!!!""
― Gaoh Mukaku and Shen Wulong, calmly discussing how Wulong is casually stopping Mukaku's spear with two fingers (Kengan Omega).
"Has she found the strongest spear and shield the world over!?. . . A PLASTIC FORK AND A PAPER PLATE!?
Have you heard the saying "a poor craftsman blames his tools?" The strongest spearmaster could pierce anything with this fork. And likewise, the strongest shieldbearer could deflect anything with this plate."
― Wisdom of Nakaji Uto (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You)

Possessors of Sheer Skill have the capacity to use "technique"/skill to perform absolutely amazing acts, even those that should be impossible in such a manner, and far outclassing their capacity for power, strength or force.

This can include overpowering beings much stronger and faster then them, deflecting/blocking intangible attacks, crafting something so perfectly that it transcends its normal limits, and so on.
