RWBY Thread III: Time To Say Goodbye

Stop: So gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
so gotta few things that need to be said real quick.
We get a lot of reports from this thread. A lot of it is just a series of people yelling at each other over arguments that have been rehashed hundreds of times since the end of the recent Volume. And I get that the last Volume - and RWBY in general, really - has some controversial moments that people will want to discuss, argue about, debate, etc.

That's fine. We're not going to stop people from doing that, because that's literally what the point of the thread is. However, there's just a point where it gets to be a bit too much, and arguments about whether or not Ironwood was morally justified in his actions in the recent Volume, or if RWBY and her team were in the right for withholding information from Ironwood out of distrust, or whatever flavor of argument of the day descend into insulting other posters, expressing a demeaning attitude towards other's opinions, and just being overall unpleasant. That tends to happen a lot in this thread. We want it to stop happening in this thread.

So! As of now the thread is in a higher state of moderation. What that means is that any future infractions will result in a weeklong boot from the thread, and repeated offenders will likely be permanently removed. So please, everyone endeavor to actually respect the other's arguments, and even if you strongly disagree with them please stay civil and mindful when it comes to responding to others.

In addition, users should refrain from talking about off-site users in the thread. Bear in mind that this does not mean that you cannot continue to post tumblr posts, for example, that add onto the discussion in the thread, with the caveat that it's related to RWBY of course. But any objections to offsite users in the thread should be handled via PM, or they'll be treated as thread violations and infracted as such.

And that was the evidence I needed to be 100% sure Raven is Yang's mom, the Team Letters.
Caution: the Team Letters are only pure conjecture based on the assumption that Raven was the last team member and thus Yang's mother. It's also possible that Raven is another sister of Qrow and thus Yang's aunt or something like that.
Although I admit that the resemblance (hell, Raven is Yang's model with black hair and constant red eyes!) and circumstances surrounding her whereabouts (Raven seems to be a freelance working solo since a long time) point toward her being Yang's mom.
 
I had a mental image of Team CFVY while thinking of their theme song in the shower today, and I want to share it with you all.


They are tearing down a freeway in an open-top muscle-car, driving well above the speed limit.

Coco is standing shotgun (yes, standing), one foot on the dashboard. She's either pointing forward like a field commander, or has her minigun of fashion out, shooting at something in front of them.

Yatsuhashi is occupying the right and center seats of the back, stone-faced, while Velvet clings to him from the left seat, screaming.

Fox is driving.
 
After going through my backlog in in Red Vs Blue (Season 13's finale will bring many to tears, to tears I tell you!), I worry about having to watch Rwby on the new site layout. Whatever they are using to play the videos now is just so slow and buggy.
 
I'm hoping that Rooster Teeth is collaborating in order to use the break down to give more detailed information about Yang's abilities and limits, as well as more general information about Aura and Semblances.
 
Be inspired by the skill of some RWBY fans:

Answer To Me (lyrics -- as best as I can make them out)

I am the Father, now hear me roar!
You made a big mistake, I'm here to settle the score!

I know your methods, and I can see
You're taking liberties with all that is dear to me!

I kept my distance and give them space,
But if you cross the line, I'll meet you face-to-face, yeah!

I didn't come to negotiate;
You lit the powderkeg, and I'm gonna detonate!

So heads up! Give me your attention! I forgot to mention the pain in store!
I'm gonna rain down thunder like you've never seen!

Spare me the lectures! I ain't here for justice!
I don't care what causes you're fighting for!

This is a showdown! I hope you came prepared to bleed!
'Cause tonight you're gonna answer to me!

I've been in mourning for twelve long years,
I'm here to break these chains, I've come to bury the fear!

I've woken up from the fitful sleep,
This is my cross to bear, I've got a charge to keep!

I made a promise to raise them right,
Gone and kept them straight; I taught them how to fight!

But if their shelter is blown away,
I'll be their firewall, and there will be Hell to pay!

So come on! Show me what you're made of!
I am not afraid of this juggernaught!

I'm packing vengeance,
Enough to bring you to your knees!

Give me your best shot! I can take the damage!
Don't care what advantage you think you've got!

Pull out the big guns; tap into your armory!
Put up 'em up, so that you can answer to me!

You can rest assured,
There's nothing I will not endure
If it will keep my children far away from pain!

I have seen the cost
Of all the battles I have lost,
And I am not about to let this end the same!

This will be the measure
Of devotion to my treasures;
They're the only future I have ever known!

They are all I got,
So I will give it one more shot,
'Cause all I really have to fear is that I might end up alone!

Oh, I've got only one ambition:
Lightning the ignition to burn you down!

Start up the wreckage!
Turn it all into debris!

This is the last dance! This is my conviction!
I'll take this affliction and stand my ground!

No more surrender!
This will be my legacy!

So get up,
It's time to answer to me!

I wonder if Yang is fighting Bang Shishigami?
Tifa Lockheart seems like the safer bet.

Death Battle matchups are about pitting two characters of extremely similar archetypes against each other.

Dan Hibiki versus Hercule Satan; Sam Fisher versus Solid Snake; Goliath versus Beast; Samus versus Boba Fet; Master Chief versus Doom Guy...

So, for Yang, the ideal match is another fist-fighter who gets stronger the more you hit her.

Tifa Lockheart fights with her fists and feet, and she enters Limit Breaks after sustaining enough damage. Very similar to Yang.

Bang Shishigami uses supplementary weapons like his big-ass nail, an umbrella that rains nails, and possibly other crap I forgot about. Though his golden mode might be accessed by sustaining damage?

Howeverly, narratively, Bang is sort of a joke among his cast. Yang is much higher-ranked and better respected within her own series, much as Tifa is treated in her own.
 
It would be a poor match-up for Yang, though, since Yang's story isn't complete.

Tifa finished her story, and it involved Avalanche fighting and defeating monsters like the Weapons and Sephiroth. Team RWBY hasn't beaten anything of that caliber.
 
I know who it should be: Captain Falcon! His awesome memetic punch only happened because the reactor was already exploding, so his normal feats aren't much higher than Yang!
 
So have we heard anything that indicates that the fight will even be interesting? Or is it going to be the same shit they've been peddling?
 
I've never watched Death Battle. What's the problem with it?
Fights aren't chosen based on how interesting the fight would end up being or as a showcase of both fighter's capabilities, instead they're chosen by how similar the two character's roles are (Samus Aran and Boba Fett are both Bounty Hunters). This can result in mutually incompatible systems being pitted against each other requiring some form of arbitration to determine how they interact (Toph's Earthbending vs Shukaku's Sand Manipulation in the Toph vs Gaara fight). This means fights come down to bias over anything else.

So yeah, don't get why people even care.
