I honestly hadn't watched the original character trailers until now, when I've been watching RWBY with my mom in the last month-ish, and now having seen the BLACK trailer, I can understand what the big deal was about him. They build him up fairly well (I literally don't know most of the weapons' names outside of Team RWBY's plus a handful of others), but also just the way he fights by firing the sword out of the sheath. I find it interesting how they've 'organically' integrated Yang's arm: after the period of her making it her own, the only two moments I can remember that call attention to it being a prosthetic, i.e. artificial, are when Yang pranks Nora after they reunite in V5, and then when Yang tanks Adam's big blow before she disarms him. Am I the only one who feels like she was able to take that hit without serious injury because the arm was artificial, as opposed to a flesh-and-blood limb that could be injured even if it isn't cut off?

@@SimonPetrikov12 Speaking of which, I'm not the only one who's noticed that experience (which generally means age) really does seem to outrank everything in RWBY? In the vast majority of fights, older and thus more experienced characters almost always win when it just comes down to the combatants themselves, vs. outside "interference" (i.e. Yang) or Maiden powers (Opzin vs. Cinder). Ironwood was holding his own against everyone, Adam's aforementioned durability, etc. At a minimum this extends to how long characters' Aura lasts in fights. The thought first occurred to me when I realized that older characters have more Aura and/or are just trained to use it better, but it does kinda extend to the experience bit. I'm not just realizing something that was already common knowledge, am I? I do that sometimes (see me not realizing Cinder represented Cinderella until we got her backstory). P.S. If you're not familiar, "Experience outranks everything" is a line from Star Wars: The Clone Wars (and a few other shows since) which was first uttered by Captain Rex.

So surprised Pyrrha vs Mercury wasn't even mentioned. The amount of technique and mind-games that both Pyrrha and Mercury performed was enough to tell a story. Both of them testing the waters, Mercury slowly forcing Pyrrha's hand by being more aggressive, Pyrrha fending off Mercury's relentless attacks, and then finally realizing his goal when it was too late. Even though it was just a spar, tension and conflict was created with a few words and subtle facial expressions.

Like I didn't realize Mercury used his boots and bullets to propel himself for a flying 480 reverse roundhouse. Or Pyrrha using Polarity to stall her sword in the air so she can block Mercury's kick, hence the surprise in Mercury's face when he sees her sword suddenly spinning in the air for a brief moment. The older fights had details like this every time and it's such a treat for fight choreography analysts like me. The newer ones are great, but they rarely hold a candle when it comes to these small details. They tend to show, explain, and emphasize everything so there's no room for doubt. There's really nothing to analyze because the fight analyzes and explains itself.

@@WittyCorvian I agree, Pyrrah probably had an idea that there was a chance she wasn't going to survive the encounter. But I think she thought she could at least delay or obstruct Cinder till Glynda, Qrow and Ironwood could arrive, as she told Jaune to get them. So her fight, though a sacrifice, was thought to have purpose. Kinda like with Hazel. He knew he could not take down Salem. But I sacrificed himself to give Oz a shot. I still thought, as fights in the run of the show go, it would rank high in a top 15 list of my own. My consideration of a good fight includes the build up, setup, underlying premise, as well as the choreo and flow. Not to mention the conclusion. Some of the fights mentioned in the KZfaqr's list didn't satisfy that criteria in my view. I thought the QvTvC fight should have ranked much much lower. Length or flashy animation is not enough for me to say it was a great fight. And yes a full agree, there are other much better fights that should have made the list. The fights you mentioned were All great and should have made the list. Notice that all the fights you mentioned in your short list are all pre-V4! Kinda says something about more recent fights. What would you classify as your 3 worst fights in the show's run? Mine would be: - The 'big' fight in the ending arc of V8. Everybody v Cinder - The 'big' fight in the ending arc of V5. Except for maybe the Cinder v Raven part. - RNJR v Nucklevee There are others, especially in V7 & 8. Biggest issues I have in bad fights? Power scaling of skill, strength, ability, or intelligence. Skipping over details with cutaways. Ignoring Lore/history. All for plot, or to force a narrative.

OMGGGG the Qrow v Clover v Tyrian was such a valid pick. I have literally been telling people it's the best fight in the series but no one gets it. This fight perfectly showcases Salem's plan, divide & conquer. Everything in the series so far has led to this fight. The siding, the lies, the fear, etc. And like Winter & Penny vs Cinder, each fighter is a henchman that comes from a different side (Oz, Ironwood, Salem), and in a way represent them in the fight. Ironwood takes up the roll as a player in the war between Oz and Salem, hence why Clover intervenes. Qrow trying to free Cover from his blind loyalty to Ironwood (similar to his blind to Oz) while also fighting an old rivel Tyrian (who represents his alcohol addiction/poisoning). Also the clever fact that Qrow and Clover have both good and bad luck and Tyrian acts as the divide between them. It ends with Clover being stabbed in the back, a great metaphor. Also, the choreography in this fight is simply amazing. All the movements are fast-paced and more aggressive than before, it has you worried about all the participants. People often say that RWBY's fight quality dipped but honestly I have never seen this issue and this fight is a prime example. I was so happy when I saw this was your number one pick. I understand your vision.

No, see, the problem is that the « divide » part comes off as forced, because people are acting out of character. There was nothing to ever indicate that Clover would be dumb enough to go after Qrow (smaller threat) over Tyrian (much much bigger threat). He was always shown to more efficient than that, more intelligent than that. There's no way such a high ranking military officer would be incapable of understanding that helping Qrow take out Tyrian was the only thing that mattered at that point. Plus, everything that led up to this scene was caused by the main cast themselves (not telling Ironwood about important things). The only thing this showed was Tyrian being good at manipulating a fight in his favour. It's certainly an extension of Salem's philosophy, but it doesn't show me anything about Salem herself, only one of her minions, and in a relatively small context. Salem wants to apply this philosophy to everything. This is one fight, and she's not even the one doing the manipulating. So this scene may be an exemple of Salem's manipulation, but not a particularly good one. Plus, the fact that for the manipulation to even work there needs to be a character acting like a complete idiot means that I have trouble giving credit to anything in this scene other than the choreography.
@MrOmegatronicАй бұрын
There is _one_ reason a high-ranking military officer might be incapable of understanding, @@b00ks825, at least in the heat of the moment: Good Fortune mainly affects Clover, but Misfortune affects _everyone_ . And it would be pretty misfortunate for both Qrow and Clover if Clover made one bad call in the heat of the moment, wouldn't it? There is a bit of logic to the call, in that if Qrow's Aura breaks, Misfortune goes offline and Tyrian will likely slip on the ice & knock himself out since Good Fortune doesn't have to cancel out Qrow's Semblance anymore. But the problem with it is that if Clover's Aura breaks first, well... to be blunt, he was going to die if that happened, no ifs, ands, or buts. The smart call would be to not take the risk, but Clover's a gambler, and his gambles always pay off... until _now_ . The driving concept behind the fight was "his luck ran out", because logically, Misfortune would've dampened Good Fortune to a significant extent. at least in a drawn-out conflict where everyone's running low on Aura. And Clover's not used to that. He's used to always being able to make the winning move because whatever move he makes _is_ the winning move, regardless of the situation. Coincidence conspires in his favour no matter what he does, from catching an unstable, explosive substance without it blowing up, to literal games of chance & card games, so he's become used to relying on his Semblance like a crutch. And when that crutch wasn't as sturdy as he's used to, a teensy, little nudge from Qrow's Semblance made him forget that in the heat of the moment. It's not the best writing, to be sure. But considering that we're dealing with two characters whose Semblances are known to explicitly influence coincidence and decision-making, it kinda checks out.

(pilots died before crash) Bad luck: clover is keen to achieve his new orders at all cost, even if it means ignoring a known threat.

I love this list - Blake and Yang vs. Adam is one of my absolute favorite fights, it's just such an emotionally charged and raw battle, plus the full display of Adam's abilities and how easily he quips abusive remarks to mentally drag his opponents while giving them a physical onslaught. The way he so easily verbalizes Blake's worst fears and deep-seated insecurities, the parallels in positioning, with Blake alone, aware that Yang is near, as he drives a sword into her stomach. The way that Yang is still so visibly shaken, but is no longer overtaken by emotion. The pure cold, raw, hatred she stares him down with contrasted with Adam's uncontrolled rage towards her. Blake's sobbing, the total forgiveness between them now that their shared demon is literally and metaphorically laid to rest (water under the bridge!!!). I could literally go on for hours about this fight, one of my absolute favorites. That said, the QTC fight is also SUCH a valid number one pick. The choreography is amazing, the aggressive moves as they all play off each other, the cinematography of the whole fight! It's almost reminiscent to the Zuko vs. Azula fight from ATLA for me. The way the whole thing has such a sad, harrowing overtone that you can't help but drown in the almost hopelessness of the whole moment rather than be invigorated by the powerful attacks from all of them. Clover was Crow's self-acceptance, the idea that maybe he could get close to people again, that he could trust and rely on someone, semblance be damned! Then Tyrian poisoning his mind, his reasoning, pulling him back to a dark place where he feels he has to fight his demons alone. The way Tyrian so perfectly represents Salem's plan to divide and destroy! The way Tyrian uses Crow's sword to stab Clover in the back right as he says "I wanted to trust YOU." FUCK dude - PAIN. One of the top 10 moments that permanently altered my brain chemistry. Clover's death is genuinely only second to Pyrrah's for me, with both representing a horrific moment where Darkness wins over Light and forces a fundamental character change - first, on Ruby and Jaune, then here in Crow. The way Crow keeps Clover's pin after, unable and uncaring what anyone thinks of him as he's so emotionally destroyed. The way Robyn is the only one to defend him. GOD. Such a good, heartbreaking fight. Amazing number one pick. Amazing list. Love your channel - keep it up. May RWBY make it out of this horrific shit-show with the WB and Rooster Teeth situation so we can see these excellent characters stories done justice.

I will say about RWBY vs Ace Ops that I love that you can see their teamwork and strategy crumbled without Clover. Hard. Overall they lacked cohesion as a unit, and individually picked match-ups that were horrible for them. On an individual basis, they weren't all fighting at the top of their game either. It's a good fight, especially because it shows those cracks. Marrow should never have fought Weiss alone. His semblence was particularly countered by hers with just how it worked mechanically, and those drawbacks are probably why he didn't go for it until needed. That and his aversion to how Harriet was acting, his best chance to use it being when she was around is likely why he didn't take those golden opportunities to stop Weiss and Ruby together. It's the type of Semblence you run a strategy around, not abandon to an effective 1v2 and hope he, as the rookie, is good enough to make it work. Vine was centered enough, and on an individual basis he obviously outdid his opponents pretty well. And Elm's temper made her make just a few too many mistakes. Even if she was better than her opponents, she didn't fight like it. The smart thing was for Vine to handle Yang while she kept Blake, but instead she wanted to fight Yang herself and gave Blake her mobility back. Unfortunately for them, as well, Blake and Yang were, frankly, the better team. Wordless strategies, able to team up and synergize regardless of the situation, and constantly forging that during the time skip by always working together. Ace Ops could work together, but not quite as well. And definitely not here. Elm's immobile fighting style definitely didn't help either, so she was left as a bystander as soon as things went skyward. Harriet was the most obvious liability. Ruby's semblence boiled down to an ability to run away, and she works best in a team, despite what her Season 1 self wanted to act like. If she was left to her own devices during that fight, Harriet's semblence and skills would have been far more valuable for moving between fights and giving edges to take down the rest of RWBY. Even in the worst case, the field wasn't good for Ruby's sniping, so her hyperfixating there did far more harm than good. She acted like the absolute best, and maybe her skills could have shown it any other day of the week, but in the end she's probably the #1 reason that the Ace Ops lost here imo. But it was a good fight from choreography, because they showed the first cracks in what the Ace Ops are like without a commanding officer, and with their inability to effectively regulate emotions when they hit extremes. Frankly. They suck because they take orders and that's it. Not enough creativity to be effective combatants without Clover. Speaking of Clover, his fight ruled but the reasoning behind it absolutely sucked. He has the worst targeting priorities and honestly the fact that the fight happened how it did, with Tyrian conscious the whole way through and not just popping up after Clover was weakened to kill him almost out of nowhere or something, incredibly weakens all of his "strategic commander who perfectly syncs the Ace Ops up" build-up that he'd had the whole season... Like, how do you have such horrible priorities? There's no way his order to apprehend Qrow should have superceded the original order of "bring in Tyrian, the literal serial killer who's been causing horrifying amounts of havoc and pain to our citizens and who actually WORKS FOR SALEM." Terrible writing. Hated it. A good fight though.

Qrow v Clover v Tyrian is both an interesting and honestly valid pick for No.1, more fans could do better with understanding the motivations of that scene rather than just saying 'why qrow fight clover not tyrian' My No.1 is still Bees vs Adam though, no fight has yet to quite equal the emotional catharsis that came from it, as the climax of Blake & Yang's arc over three seasons from the fall.

Qrow vs. Tyrian from V4 is my favourite, at least as far as I can evaluate based purely on the fighting itself. Though it might also be because I missed watching V4 when it aired--so I don't have nostalgia--and am only properly watching it now because I'm watching RWBY with my mom; most of my knowledge of V4 prior to now was gleaned wholly out of order. That being said, it does feel like it's at least a little unique in ways that most of the other scenes don't quite have. Could someone please get back to me on this? I want to know if I'm the only one thinking this way. If I had to choose only a couple of less-spoilery scenes to represent RWBY's fight scenes, it would be the food fight and Everyone vs Tyrian (V4). They're each representative of their respective animation engine's qualities; they're also "isolated" from parallel events, meaning it's easier to follow them without the context that, say, Qrow vs Tyrian vs Clover requires. P.S. I saw a comment somewhere on how Cinder uses her Maiden powers so loosely/as the basis of her fighting after she gets them (only relying less after her loss to Raven), while Raven--while she clearly uses hers too--uses it as a support/supplement by comparison. What do you think @ImStrange_ ?
@breadloaf10644 ай бұрын
The food fight is unironically one of my favorites. Beyond all the goofiness, we get to see just how broken pyrrha is (was :( ) And just how broken overpowered ruby could be/become. It was a nonsensical glimpse into what those two are really capable of, and it was amazing.
