I highly doubt I will use any of these, not because they're bad per sey but because I personally think they're uneccersary, I might use Raschrucken (and thats a big maybe), but thats it.

Zerschitzen is kind of redundent since I don't see why anyone would eed to use it, especially if it's derived from certain sword fighting techniques, I would just have the quincy concentrate on Kendo or Iaido.

Schlagen is pretty much the same, I mean sure Hakuda does the same thing but remember, quincies are humans, and even if they're spiritually powerful, it doesn't give them a will and body of steel, for Schlagen to work the quincy would need to be a master of all the associated martial arts in order to meld them and use them effectively in combat, and it's hard to even master a single martial art no matter what. This would also apply to Zerchitzen I guess, so i would just have my quincy learn just one martial art.

Finally Stahlhaut, in my honest opinion, it makes no sense, how can reiryokyu make skin steel-like, I mean blut is making reiryokyu flow though blood vessels in order to harden them, but not make them steel. Actually this one would work, but only if it was something more akin so having skin cells absorb reiryokyu, making them very hard to penertrate instead of just making skin like steel. So in conclusion, if this one changed slightly, I could use it without bitching about the technicals XD

All in all I find most of the techniques pointless (it's just my opinion), they can either be replaced with an actual art or they're just alternatives to already existing bleach techniques, so I probably won't use them for any quincy characters of mine whatsoever. The first and last ones could work with some tweaking but the middle two are completely pointless and technically impossible.
