so, wouldn't #3 cancel itself out then? and with number one, it delves into the realm of, hate to say it, but vehicles kinda. and #2 makes no sense. why take damage away from a power and give it an secondary effect that kinda sucks. :P
while nice ideas i don't see it being possible.

What do you think about the general idea?

I think the developers aren't going to add more powers with alternate effects dependent on different powers until they figure out why OSA is buggy.
What happens if you do a sword attack while sword surfing?
Would shield toggles drop while flying on it?
I think that would fall under "technical limitations." The engine is pretty rigid in what it can do, essentially limited to applying effects to the caster that other powers can then key off of. With attack animations hard-coded to where they cannot be change, doing anything but adding more damage or a secondary effect likely dabbles into the area of activation sequences, which is the stuff that BABs has been pretty stern about in the past.
Plus, this late in the game, it would have to be a pretty serious re-imagining of the combat system.

I like the whole power combination idea and all. But this combination here makes no sense at all.

- To Each His Own
Can teleport + having claws at all result in a claw uppercut ala Fulgore from Killer Instinct?
Also, I want a flying+jumpkick real flying jumpkick.
I don't the last two, that's why they don't make much sense. I think Idea #1 isn't really a vehicle, since it's pretty similar to Super Speed, but I agree on the weapon use issue.
Guess this was a bad idea. Who knew.

Don't feel bad. At least you came up with an original bad idea. 
I had an idea. I think this may be relatively simple to code, but I could be wrong. If you have two certain powersets, or two certain powers, you could "combine" them to make a new power. Examples:
<ul type="square">[*]Broad Sword -or- Shield + Fly = Sword Board/Shieldboard (you throw the sword/shield on the ground and start hoverboarding with it)[*]Katana/Ninja Blade's Golden Dragonfly + Teleport Foe = Viper Strike (you teleport the enemy and perform GD but with less damage and disorient)[*]Plant control's Fly Trap + Thermal Radiation's Forge = FireBush (you summon a plant monster that can shoot fire and buff your teammates. Cannot exist at the same time as your Fly Trap)[/list]
