[up]She may not have but based on how she freaked out I assumed that she knew of Raven by at-least reputation. It just seems implausible that she was intimidated without knowing about Raven.

[up][up]Neo's reaction was so unusual for her that it screams out that she knows exactly who Raven is. I also suspect that Raven's choice for intervening at that moment had something to do with it being Neo rather than simply it being Yang having a problem with just anyone.

While it's more obvious from Neo's side, given her open reaction, the scene suggests to me that Neo and Raven know each other; at the very least, they know of each other — enough for Raven to know she has to intervene and for Neo to know she needs to flee immediately.

[up]Neo seen more freeking how by how she represent than her personaly, it seen Raven have quite reputation and Neo know it, and considering she is criminal....

"I'll give you Winter. Qrow and Winter obviously have a history of some kind and he clearly likes winding her up. So, yes, that was an example of him being a dick. I got the distinct impression the dickery between them is mutual, however. "

It not just personal dickery(but there is plenty of it) is also Qrow is annoy by Atlas and since she represent the nation so well she become his punching bag, he also a dick with Ironwood a times, quite mocking is belief in Atlas miliary.

Overall Qrow have the same problem with Ruby: he is not really good with people, the diference is that Ruby is show as quirky thing while Qrow pick fights with other for some issue or another, you are right in that he try to get on the bottom of the issue but in doing so he sound pretty dry about it, unlike Ironwood who is more polite, on the other hand the way he talk to ruby is somewhat softer, like he know he have to be carefull with her, Im with LSBK that Qrow is "making amends" to whatever happen in the past by being nice with Ruby.

Also is funny you talk about jaunce because is a good way to see is personality: he tells everything and insist Phyrra did things willing while Jaune cut that and said the use her, Qrow seen annoyed by him, in part for questioning Ozpin plans, is the first time we see Qrow in somewhat grey light.

So I've heard reports from AX 2017 at the RWBY panel, it's confirmed that there will be four trailers for Volume 5, was almost confirmed that there is a RWBY fighting game on the way, and that we'll be getting the RTX 2017 trailers not long after RTX itself. Also they showed a small clip of volume 5 with Weiss.

RTX cannot come soon enough.

Wait, we're already getting Volume 5 news? It feels like the gap between 3 and 4 was much greater

We did get the Volume 4 trailer at RTX last year, so it lines up.

Actually, wasn't it that we will get a single trailer for character per Volume? Like, we had Ruby trailer for Volume 4, we're getting Weiss trailer for Volume 5, next hiatus we'll get Blake (or Yang, but probably Blake) trauler for Volume 6 etc.? I'm getting conflicting information there.

Also, the fighting game- hopefully those meetings with Arc System Works weren't just for teasing.

I was checking the RWBY reddit and someone who was at the AX panel said we were getting WBY trailers for Volume 5, so one of our sources appears to have misheard part of that announcement.

But yeah, otherwise more merch and figures have been confirmed, something was said about EVO and watching that space, plus Arc System Works are being coy with what Daisike Ishiwatari is currently working on (for those who don't know the name, that's the guy who said he'd love to make a RWBY fighting game and was the creator of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue).

This is not what I want. This is not what I want at all. I want a casual RWBY beat'em'up, not another anal-retentive animesque fighter with that cheap, visual novel story format, we have more than enough competitive fighters. I wish they'd just take the simple route and do a Scott Pilgrim Vs The World or Castle Crashers-esque type game. Something like Crawl would be perfect.

They tried to shoot big with Grimm Eclipse - the big, sprawling 3D beat'em up game - and ever so surprisingly it kind of sucked. The project was too ambitious for a little filmmaking company from Austin Texas and the even smaller division of people hired on to work on it, that small, ascended fangame. Grimm Eclipse is pretty bare in terms of content and even spectacle. But that doesn't mean you should abandon the 4-player beat'em'up concept, just make it smaller.

Why is doing a competitive, Blaz Blue-esque fighter a good idea? Do we know how much effort and manpower it takes to make a game as pretty-looking as Tekken 7, or Injustice 2, or Street Fighter X Whatever, or for that matter how much it takes to make those games balanced and playable? I'd imagine a lot more than Rooster Teeth has at it's disposal.

Because if it's going to be at EVO, if it's going to be a "big fighting game that people play for money" I'm pretty sure it's going to need spotless netcode. patches galore, and updates aplenty for every time some exclusive online e-gaming team discovers that Weiss or Neo have some infinite combo that makes playing against them completely unfair.

I'm sick of competitive gaming, really, and it annoys me that the prospect of a competitive fighter seems more likely than something simpler and infinitely more entertaining, if admittedly part of a dying breed of video game.

-deep breath- Overreactions are fun.

[up]Grimm eclipse was an alright starting point... if they make another they should probably recruit a company like Platinum (fun fact metal gear risings director is a fan of the show).

So what do you think the plots of the trailers will be.

I mean, isn't Arc System Works also working on a Dragon Ball fighting game?

[up][up][up][up]My sword. Have it, you do. 2D fighter is among the worst ways to make RWBY a video game, IMO. Platinum-style Beat 'em Up or Hack and Slash would be among the best. I want to laugh at gravity. If it has to be a fighter, make it 3D arena like Dissidia or Gundam Versus.

If I'm going to be playing a RWBY game, I want it to be a RWBY game. Not a variant of a 2D fighter with RWBY aesthetics.

I'm fine with a 2D fighter. Look at Arc System Works's Dragon Ball game for reference. or Skullgirls, for that matter.

As much as I'd like a 3d Power Stone like brawler, they generally aren't considered to be that great compared to more complex fighting systems that a 2D fighter can have.

If they did do a beat em up, a Cyber Connect 2-esque Story and cinematic heavy brawler would be the best way to go, really.

The thing about ASW, Dragon Ball Fighter Z is being made to cater to competitive and more hardcore fans yes, but the game is streamlined so it's easy to pick up and play. It caters to the Marvel vs Capcom style spectacle, and it's also easy to do cool stuff. There's a dedicated Ki Blast button, the Special moves and supers are all Quarter circles, ect. So a RWBY fighter could easily follow in the same footsteps.

I actually do wonder. It could be a Free to Play fighter with a very limited roster (Like 4 or 8) at the start, with more characters being added over time, like Killer Instinct. I actually wouldn't mind that.

Also, if it's Team Red making the game, I want at least one Naoki Hashimoto Vocal Song in there. It can even be a duet with Casey Lee Williams!

In other news.....

Arryn had put out on Twitter ( though the thread was later removed) that Jeff put Bmblb in the soundtrack on his own accord and considered non-canon, though she still loves the ship. The reactions was less than stellar...

EDIT: She even felt guilty for causing such a problem despite sharing the same love for the ship and it actually hurt for her to see the fans react in such a manner

Oh joy, more shipping drama. At this point I just want the show to go full-on No Hugging, No Kissing.

That said, I can totally understand why people are calling this queerbaiting.
