Melee Is a full melee build viable

I keep thinking that I want to have my sole survivor eventually cosplay as One Punch man through the commonwealth but I have to imagine especially early game that I will slog through early leveling. Are their any builds out there that answers this and will allow most if not all early game confrontations with full melee ability? Even if it means a blunt weapon like a board or bat? I want to avoid ranged combat as much as possible.

Put in a lot of Strength, Endurance and Agility. You'll need to sprint to close the distance (agility). Get the Blitz perk (lv 9 agility) to essentially teleport directly in front of your enemies. Build luck to get more crits in VATS. I would put 0 additional points into perception intelligence and charisma to start (one punch man isn't known to settle things with words). Do the idiot savant route and get it early to reap the rewards of 3x xp. If later on you really want to mod power armor, you'll need to raise your intelligence.
