We present arguments in favor of the idea that supersymmetric sigma models with compact symmetric K\"ahler spaces as target manifolds have a second-order phase transition in four dimensions. When applied to electroweak symmetry breaking, these models then do not require a light Higgs boson or techni-resonances but predict fermionic superpartners of longitudinal W's and Z with masses at or below TeV scale. Presence of the phase transition leads to a fractional-power energy dependence of fixed-angle scattering amplitude of longitudinal W's and Z's at high energies.
