So if the over-the-top style attempts to uppercut the gritty style into the sun, which result should be permitted? Does the gritty person godmode a result by only allowing themselves to be hit and nothing else? Does the over-the-top person godmode by forcing the other person to deal with cartoon physics?
As one of those "gritty" fighters who has (on multiple occasions) been subjected to Crouching Tiger physics, I can say first hand that compromises are necessary to make the experience not awkward for both parties.
Sounsyy's entire character concept is designed to be a rather grounded person in most aspects. This includes fighting. She's weak aetherically, she gets fatigued, she can't jump to save her life - let alone do acrobatics. She's not a gymnast. But I recognize this isn't a concept that everyone will adopt. In the setting, there are extraordinary figures and there are the Red Shirt guys, often in the same cutscene. Roleplayers fall into many places on this spectrum. Eventually (if you're doing tournament style fighting like Grindstone) you're going to come across someone who's physics settings are wildly outside your own.
The only thing I know to do in that situation is to discuss it with your partner if it's so left field from what you're willing to expose your character to. (I might expect to be flung 20 yalms if Sounsyy was struck by Leviathan's tail or something, not by a Midlander's right hook.) If the attack is more vague on what exactly its intention is, I don't see the problem in warping the effects to something more middle-ground. For instance, I (personally) find it hard to believe a Highlander could do a front flip onto Sounsyy's sword and land there anime style. More improbable is that Sounsyy... could hold that. So, if they win the roll, they will land on Sounsyy's blade... and Sounsyy will drop them.
