Man...I can't be the only one who thinks the quality of RWBY fight animations has gone way downhill, right? To me, the battle starring Sun and Blake was full of wonkiness, compared to fights earlier in the series.


It's not just that the fights aren't brilliantly done anymore but they don't have a purpose anymore either. In the old volumes each episode was usually punctuated by one big fight as a climax but the fights furthered the story. RWBY going up against the White Fang, the Vytal Festival singles matches, the initiation battles, all that. They served to tell part of the narrative. Now it's just like we get three minutes of volume arc story and twelve of a fight that means absolutely nothing. Ruby and what's left of Juniper fighting the Golem, Blake and Sun fighting the sea serpent. Those fights could be completely removed from the episode without loosing any story whatsoever.

Would a weapon that could be a quarterstaff (bladed and blunt modes), two scimitars and a sort of combat grappling hook (similar to how Blake uses the ribbons on the ends of her weapons) be too much for one weapons set?

If you can't tell I'm sort of reworking Sapphire's fighting style, still based on assassin traits but different. Mostly because if I'm being honest she's been kind of lame in battle up until now so I need to figure something else out.

Good to know Rule of Cool is on my side for once.

Well, isn't that nice?

It'll be interesting to see her new combat style.

Of course, having new weapons doesn't necessarily mean knowing how to use them, right?

Well, within reason perhaps. I dunno how intricate Sapphire's new fighting style is, but if someone replaced Gren's God Eater with say, a giant rock, I'm pretty sure he'll manage quite well for himself.

She's had enough diversity training to be passably decent with a large selection of basic weaponry. Starting from there give it some IC time and a couple of obligatory screw ups and using the new weapons will cement itself into a different kind of fighting style.

Luke getting a new weapon would be an excellent source of quality comedy

he goes from "i just donated my punchers to my sister who's good at punching" to "fucking swords, what"

General Hammond is acting super creepy, he must be an impostor.

Oswald's fighting style boils down to "hit it a lot and hope your armor can handle whatever they hit you with"

He's built for attrition against Grimm, not tournament-style combat against people. But his two-part upgrade will help deal with that. Namely, the whole "bullets beat low-quality anti-Grimm armor" part and the "I just swing my sword hard" part.

If only he could stay on his feet long enough to do the actual fuckin' upgrade

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN - So what you're saying is...

Oswald's a poise monster.

He should join Gren's class "How to be a Juggernaut: Stop fucking falling over 1st Edition".

Srsly, the reason Gren can tank so well is because he doesn't get knocked over very easily. Think the White Fang Lieutenant but on his feet the whole time.
