Me too.

But one thing I hope they don't do is use Chibi as a dumping ground for everything they don't want to do in the real show.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

I doubt that they will. I imagine it'll be like Haruhi-Chan or Rock lee's Foutain of Youth.

Though now that I brought up Haruhi-Chan, that reminds me of an idea I have for a dumb idea I had for Penny.

Basically, the idea was that after Penny got demolished, they managed to rebuild her, only she's in a much smaller, chibi-like form because... Potato. tongue

I hadn't thought too much about the idea beyond some gags(Like Ruby carrying Penny in one of those baby-pouch things and when Penny wants to get out of it, she gets lost in a crowd), some fluff(Mini!Penny snuggling up to Ruby while they sleep) and how Pyrrha would react to seeing her.

Of course I don't expect it to happen, it's just a silly idea I had cause of Haruhi-Chan's Chibi!Ryoko.

I've got a question regarding the main page for RWBY:

The Would Hit a Girl entry seems a bit.... redundant/unnecessary considering the setting of the series.

I'd remove it since the trope is never invoked within the setting.

Technically it's allowed by the trope definition, though that's an issue with the trope tbh.

Yeah, the trope needs to be updated to specify when it's being used and when it isn't

I don't think the trope should be there (even if technically allowed) since its not invoked in the work itself; only in regards to real life.

Hence why I asked here. Like, the wording of the trope implies one thing, but... yeah.

Also another thing: Would this go in the Shout-Out section or Stock Sound Effects section? Because after watching RWBY again I noticed that Ember Celica and Crescent Rose make near-exactly the same sounds of the Dah'ren Mohran Heavy Bowgun line.

I'm pretty sure that i heard the sounds of Crescent Rose in other places as well.

Yeah, but it doesn't invoke the trope.

The trope only applies (well, should only apply) when there's normally a taboo against men hitting women. Since this isn't the case in RWBY, the trope doesn't apply.

However, the trope page doesn't specify that.

That's what I meant, that the sound effects those guns and others make are veeeery similar to the Dah'ren Mohran HBG.

[up]That too

I'm just here for the forums so I wouldn't know anything about that.

In other news, I updated my profile. I feel much better now.

[up]I'm not sure if it's the Dah'ren Mohran, Seregios or Magala Heavy Bowgun, but I know for a fact one of them sounds near-identical to Crescent Rose/Ember Celica's firing.

WillDeRegio Since: Jan, 2015
#34667: May 12th 2016 at 6:32:11 PM

Out of curiosity, has the sound of Crescent Rose and Ember Celica changed since their introduction? Inner scientist talking here.

I can rule out the Dah'ren Mohran heavy bowgun, it makes this weird roaring noise when it fires.

Magala heavy bowgun doesn't sound right either.

Seregios heavy bowgun, sounds similar to Crescent Rose, but not metallic enough.

Though, this all falls straight into YMMV territory.

Now I'm wondering how RWBY characters would fair in Monster Hunter, and vice versa.

[up] They might fare well. After all, Grimm aren't that different from the monsters in the game (Except the latter are actually threatening) tongue

Yeah. I mean, they'd probably have to change up tactics/fighting styles, as unlike the Grimm, most creatures in Monster Hunter have actual tactics and intelligence.

Eh, the power level in RWBY is way higher (on the competent characters) than in Monster Hunter.

Plus the RWBY crew is much more mobile for the most part. Though the monsters are more durable than Grimm.

Meanwhile, there would be a group of pissed of hunters once they find out that you can't carve Grimm. And they'd probably find Kevin to be underwhelming.

Side note: Jaggi = Beowolf. Both have zero self preservation, both are mooks, and both have alpha versions that aren't that much higher in power rankings.
