Fictional worlds still apply logic when it matters.

Besides guns, a weapons deadly-ness doesn't go away just because it's in fiction land. The only reason fisticuffs ever beats Swords is because of dodging or bad skills.

I'm speaking generally though. That double durability makes all the difference.

Having more people doesn't help at all if the guy they're fighting can one-shot a team member before they can even get a hit in. Neither Blake nor Yang was able to hurt Adam at all. We have no reason to think that Ruby or Weiss would have fared any better.

Sure we do. They've shown that they're able to work in tandem and coordinate their attacks before. Blake up and lost a fight no doubt about it. Yang charged in without thinking and paid the price. However, I see no reason to believe that Ruby and Weiss would both pull a Yang, especially since they know what happened to Yang.

If they can't brute force a win against Adam, and are individually unqualified to take him on, then the solution isn't attacking piecemeal.

@Jovian: Yang doesn't get a berserker boost, she gets a boost from taking hits. I dunno, did she run into any Grimm on the way? She might have been at her weakest.

Now Adam has some kinda charge attack on his sword when he has it sheathed. Did he have time to charge one of those up?

You mean a threesome.

I'm not sorry. evil grin

By the way, regarding Adam, I remember deleting a Fridge Horror entry about him. It basically went like "Oh my God, Adam's sword can bypass Aura, imagine what kind of monster he would be to have a weapon that is specifically designed to kill human!"

...........Yes, because it's not like it was simply Adam's attack being too strong. And yes, the world is totally at peace and people have no reason to prepare to fight another human being. Nope.

Yang doesn't get a berserker boost, she gets a boost from taking hits.
I wasn't talking about her semblance, I was talking about in general. We've seen her get much more effective in combat in a general sense after getting fed up with the situation and getting angry. It happens as early as the Yellow trailer (where we see her activate her semblance without taking out Junior, but as soon as she notices that Junior has damaged her hair, her Battle Aura shatters all the glass in the room and her next hit is a knockout blow. She doesn't even take any hits in that time, so you can't give her semblance credit for the power boost) and as recently as her fight against Neon (where she does better in a two-on-one situation after completely losing her shit than she'd been doing one-on-one before she really got mad, despite having used her semblance earlier in the match as well).

Pretty sure she activated her Semblance to end both of those.

[up] I don't know if her semblance works after getting hit or getting angry. Or both

Maybe she gets stronger by drawing said strenght from her Aura?

Right, but like I said, she had her semblance on before getting angry both times, and it's the "getting angry" part that causes glass to shatter and volcanos to erupt in sympathetic fury, not activating her semblance.

Except that is more of a case of focus. She was pissed at Neon throughout that entire match, but didn't do much then.

Blind fury doesn't make you a better fighter, it does nothing against a foe who can dodge effectively.

There's a difference between "being irritated" and "activating Unstoppable Rage". My point is that went Yang lets herself get really, really pissed, she becomes more effective in combat. It happened against Junior, it happened against Neon, and it happened against Adam — and Adam one-shotted her anyway.

[up][up]but it can let you to overpower the oponent, yang weakness is her lack of skill, Neo handle her ass in the train, Neon manage to handle her fairly well and her victory was a little bit bullshit(I meant she take a full atack of Flyn? please) and she didnt know of Adam little trick
