That reminds me.

I also appreciate the "anti-upskirt technology" employed in this show.

It helps that I've picked this series up right after finishing Mahou Sensei Negima!. God, even mentioning that manga makes me nauseous.

All Death Battles are bad and nobody in the VS. community takes them seriously, including the Screwattack forums and Death Battle's own research team.

As an example, here are some calculations for things that'd apply to Tifa: 1, 2, 3

The first one isn't really a calculation but rather just an observation of something that happens though.

As for things that'd apply to Yang: 1, 2, 3, 4

The strength difference is incredibly vast and even if you think the FTL stuff for Final Fantasy is way out of their regular league they casually block/dodge bullets throughout the entirety of Advent Children. Not to mention even the guidebooks say Tifa can hit with the force of a nuke.

Conceptually, or actual crossovers people have made?
Both. I know someone in the RWBY fanfiction thread wrote a "Doomguy Ends up in Remnant" fic, and I've seen a RWBY retelling of Fire Emblem: Awakening.

what are some other crossovers you've all seen with RWBY that was interesting?

@Random - Even aside from the gratuitous fanservice, it is filled with overly dramatic love lines that goes absolutely nowhere, too many characters and resulting uneven focus, and worst of all, extremely infuriating ending. Just a warning.

I wonder how this series will end. I wonder if Ruby will make it all the way till end.

Well hopefully...when the do another RWBY character, they'll choose an opponent a little more...in their league.

Like Rwby vs. the Grim Reaper.

Weiss-queen vs. the Ice King.

"Blake" vs. I have no idea.

Which Grim Reaper? Also Ice King can freeze an entire nation I don't think Weiss is a good candidate, unless Ice King is being his usual dumb self for this fight.

I still don't see why Yang's amputation is a big deal when people like Ironwood exist

Ironwood looks really jacked up for a guy with a military general paycheck. Like he got the first-generation cybernetics. That or it was the battle damage.

First of all, that's not how biases work. What you are looking for is persecution complex. Second, people who support Ghostbusters, including prominent figures in the industry, actually said things like that. If you are trying to be condescending, try to be more intelligent in your argument.

...at what point was that condescending? Given 90 percent of the nonsense previously spouted in that post, I didn't see a need to put a Joking Mode tag on it.

Alright, to be fair, that was the post where I was trying to be more serious, but that part was supposed to be a joke. I don't start a sentence with "aye" and expect to be taken seriously. I'm not seriously saying you have a bias because you don't like the new Ghostbusters trailer, I assumed you brought it up because you too were making a joke.

Just saying: If Atlas pays its generals like the United States pays theirs, Ironwood is pretty well off. Especially since he's basically the equivalent of a 4-star General. So yeah, he'd be able to get the good shit [lol]

@randomness4 I honestly don't know which one would be the most level. But wouldn't most grim reapers just be able to... kill Ruby? Since that's their abstract personification?

[up][up][up]Generals definitely usually ain't young, so the former wouldn't be unlikely assuming cybernetics are as uncommon as we've seen so far (and both users we've seen with them seem to hide them).

If Atlas' military work anything like US military, becoming a colonel alone would take 20 years, and to even be a major general (two star general), you'd have to be 50 at the earliest.

But of course, different world, different systems.

I mean regardless he's high enough up there that the mysterious council of evil ousted Ozpin and put him in charge of security. He also comes from the tech capital of the world. I mean when Adam Jensen looks more comfortable than you do, you've been through some sh't.

Though yeah, looking at it again, his skin graft or body mesh or whatever it is just got torn up from the crash.

He's definitely actually fought (probably a good bit considering the asskicking he gave out on-screen), which would probably give him better prospects.

So are prosthetics like Mercury's and Ironwood's really uncommon or is it just that since the Hunters are still basically highschoolers they don't really have much a chance of losing limbs and such

VutherA Since: Jul, 2009
#36946: Jul 13th 2016 at 9:20:35 PM

WHO KNOWS!? I'm still guessing uncommon since Ironwood and Mercury were hiding theirs. Mercury obviously didn't want to get noticed, but Ironwood seems shy about it for some reason.

I feel like Yang, Mercury, and Ironwood would be like one of those MasterCard commercials. One robotic arm: 120,000 Lien. Two robotic legs: 240,000 Lien. One robotic arm, a leg, a lung, a kidney, half a liver, sections of intestines, and however many other robotic organs: 3.5 million Lien. Vibrate function: Priceless. tongue

I have no clue on the Lien/U.S. Dollar exchange rate, nor the price tags for prosthetics.

That sort of reminds me.

When Ozpin took Pyrrha to take a tour of the large ass underground base, he said the only people who knows of the place is Ozpin, Ironwood, etc.

Then I was like what you 4-5 guys built the whole thing by your hands? There must have been tons of people who worked on that shit. tongue

Maybe they were all part of Ozmiluminati...or they were all killed to keep it secret...or both. evil grin

[up][up][up]If his name's "Ironwood" do you think that means...XXX?

[up][up][up][up]It's only been two characters so far, we've yet to see how common it is. The ratio of things can differ in separate parts of the world.
