There is a great strategist among us...

His name is Zwei, and he will have his grand reveal in volume 21.

Also, Zwei is Monty's Author Avatar

[up]Shikamaru is a minor chararter and it dosent matter in the end game with Madara "fuck you" uchiha, Light and L are for a strategist series(well more magnificent bastard than anything else) Kurama....maybe, he does solves his fight with wit and his super evil side barely apear, that is something.

the fact that it dosent have that air of badssery surronding him make him a poor fighter, at least by the standar of the show, in anime show(and even more by monty show) badssery become a law..'

Not really true.Considering that the skill gap between him and the average hunter doesnt seem to that wide.

I mean the guys on team ABRN contributed even less than Jaune did in their match and they didnt lie there way into the school (As far as we know)

[up]they are a filler team, just regular hunter to happen being outclass, Jaune is so bad he forge his enter into Academy.

That is the issue, Jaune suffer the Shinji sindrome: where a weak chararter take a huge amout of time to become badass make the fandom asking why is the need or just expecting it happen already, he is going to deal with it for a long time.

Well Shinji also had absolutely no business in actually piloting EVA 02, what with all the mental issues he had to deal with; Asuka, Misato, and Ritsuko weren't far behind either in terms of issues, and neither was Gendo in all honesty. Seriously, the entire series was basically "middle school student pilots giant robot to fight monsters/aliens", except it was actually handled realistically; this is what would happen if you expected real 12 years with the fate of all of humanity, they'd get absolutely crushed under the pressure.

[up][up][up]Maybe, but that dosent make him a likable protagonist to watch, even more when show is more about him dealing his issue than to save the world or something, also is about the nature of the show: a mecha series is not expect to be run realistic at all so many people hate Shinji as expresion for the show darkness induce apathy.

But is not only about shinji, is about Yukki(who is expy of him) Kaneki and many others, Jaune look a lot like them: Skinny chararter who is useless and learn to become stronger(and of course he have a love interest who is waaaaaay better than him) even worst because he is series with a cast of Badass, so is inevitable the fandom look him the way it is.

[up][up]Damn, beat me to it.

I'm thinking that if Jaune gets a super awesome Semblance, it will be very difficult to use properly.

[up]they are a filler team, just regular hunter to happen being outclass, Jaune is so bad he forge his enter into Academy.

The things is there closer to the level of what a average hunter in training is supposed to be.Plus there is JNPR's match were he holden his own.Hes not a bad fighter.Just a average one when compared to the rest of the cast.

And so what if the fandom likes to have a go at him.They like to have a go at Blake too.Then there is team SSSN otherwise known as team 'Hot and useless' .

As for the idea about Jaune being the typical shoen protag.Does shoen have those protags anymore? You mention one in a earlier comment but for a anime that if im correct has long since passed.

Why the Jaune hate? He isn't that bad.

For once, he isn't the guy the series focus on, so comparing him to Shinki or Yuki is not very fair. Yes, he was really weak but he got better.

In fact, didn't he tackle a third Ursa in episode 10? When they were battling the Grimm in front of the tower?

Jaune combat skill is understandable, since he hadn't had proper training. I can even excuse Blake for that too.

But yeah, SSNS isn't the most interesting team when it comes to fighting

My thoughts on Team SSSN:

Sun: Use your damn gunchucks!

Sage: What can that sword do?

Scarlet: *Pirates Of The Caribbean theme plays*

Neptune: Blue. Hair. And hydrophobia. I... had low hopes for you.

"Plus there is JNPR's match were he holden his own.Hes not a bad fighter.Just a average one when compared to the main rest of the cast."

That fight wasnt very one to being with since it become a comedy fight at the half of it(almost all filler fight end that way) you can see most of the filler fights because nobody there use their semblence or something even similar(unlike FLNK)

"And so what if the fandom likes to have a go at him.They like to have a go at Blake too.Then there is team SSSN otherwise known as team 'Hot and useless' . "

And is RT damn fault for it since she dosent display the same badassery around(and in my defense, I joke about her because she is faunus and therefore not peopleevil grin) and SSSN look like another filler team in my opinion.

"For once, he isn't the guy the series focus on, so comparing him to Shinki or Yuki is not very fair. Yes, he was really weak but he got better."

So other protagonist go better(well not Shinji....he go worst but that is another thing) and yet he cant even go in equal ground against more antagonist, also even if the show didnt focus on him, he did have two arc about him, the only ship with screen time(who just happen to be ace who like him because is nice....yeah, typical shonen protagonist behivor)

[up][up][up]No. He headbutted the Ursa

[up][up]Sage got the killing blow on the Nevermore with Yatsuhashi. Technically speaking, he's the most useful person in SSSN so far.

[up]I'm going to be honest, "[minority group] aren't people" jokes are Dude, Not Funny! territory. At least, for me anyways.

My thoughts on Team SSSN

Sun:Why u no use Semblance more often?

Sage: So...don't you have a ranged mode or something? Are you the Jaune of Team SSSN?

Scarlet: He's a pirate. Who hopes he doesn't get sand in his shoes. What.

Neptune: Oh, your name is so ironic. And just how effective is that cattle prod against Grimm?

[up] Neptune seems like the Jaune of the group IMO

Sage and Sun are probably the only useful ones in battle.

Jaune combat skill is understandable, since he hadn't had proper training. I can even excuse Blake for that too.
It was implied/established that Blake got her fighting experience from working in the White Fang, but she's still had way more experience than Jaune and should be a lot more competent.

[up]Blake lack oportunity to fight so far, his first fight with Torchwick he beat her, the second one he crup stomp him in a weird fashon(It was bad fight really) and now he was stab by Adam(but adam disarm yang so he get a past)

It's still isn't proper training. She maybe is a more capable fighter than Jaune from the get go, but she must also have a lot of trouble in certain aspects.

Blake's role in a fighting standpoint seems to be of the "Squishy Assassin" type, with the added bonus that she can create clones of herself to distract AND that she is a Cat Faunus.

So she would be supposed to take out her foes the stealthy way. She can also be considered a Fragile Speedster but that has failed almost everytime (In short, all of her fights sans the second one against Torchwick)

So, RT should buff Jaune and Blake or they are going to fall off the Meta [lol][lol][lol][lol]

[up] Good thing Yang lost an arm. Otherwise, Adam's credibility as a fighter would be too low evil grinevil grin

There's also the theory that Blake is on some level suppressing her skills to distance herself from the White Fang. Trying to fight like a proper Hunter when that simply isn't where her strengths lie.

.First of all just because they do cool shit doesn't mean they're not a filler team.

Secondly.Even if they're are filler team.They're still hunters/huntress.And therefore still count.

Thirdly teams SSSN as been push as a sort of the C team.There connection to team RWBY ups their importance in the story.

Also the fight was serious until the very end.Were team JNPR clearly had the other team beat.So it doesn't affect Jaune's performance as a fighter.
