Im not talking about you.
I wont take you seriously if you think im just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. RWBY scaling is generally flawed on this wiki and i can back up all of my points on the calcs and scaling used.

Nah I just wanted to ask if you were a girl or not in case I made an assumption, I didn't want to sound rude or make assumptions.
Though I will say that I can see where you're coming from with the Maidens, and especially with the scaling aspect...again I don't particuarly care about RWBY's tiering but correct me if I'm wrong here, Maidens tend to be able to overwhelm non Maiden fighters in CQC unless they're comparable or on a higher level of power
- 3,091

Seriously i think we need to first question if theres any actual statement or its physically told to us if the Maiden powers include physical stat buffs?
Cause we know its magic, and said magic is displayed in elemental powers. We've seen them use physical aspects like Raven vs Cinder but...im not sure when it comes to 2 maidens just making weapons from ice, that still scales to their level of power?

They almost always do. Cinder literally chock slammed Penny and Winter at the same time through a wall.

Maidens have definitely downgraded from what they were percieved as in V3.
Maidens do overwhelm other characters, and it usually takes a squad to jump them in order to get an upper hand (Cinder, Merc and Emerald vs Amber, Ace-ops vs Penny). They rely on the weather manipulation and elemental power aspect to overwhelm these opponents though, and i cant recall a single time a Maiden has physically just overpowered her opponent (with an obvious power buff) who wasnt a maiden in CQC, that cant also be explained through the characters natural skill

Neo was beating Cinder’s ass in CQC, then ****** off when Cinder busted out maiden powers. And again, Fria stops Cinder from touching her from a simple grab.
- 3,091

Breaking through a Wall isnt exactly an example of RWBY overwhelming strength...
Cinder was also notably using her maiden powers as a jet propulsion, while also not completely overwhelming Winter and Penny physically (except penny with the grimm arm but thats still super inconsistent).

I’m done for now lol. I keep giving examples and you keep ignoring them.

What does this prove???
Neo backed off cause of the maiden power display (purely cinders elemental manipulations). She knows the power of a maiden. She wasn't physically threatened by Cinder whatsoever, and Cinder used wind to push Neo back over physical strength
These characters are both maidens
How does this prove they get a physical stat buff when she overpowers someone with the exact same power as her?
- 5,954

Yeah...I don't think Monty, Miles, or Kerry really stopped to think of the mechanics of magic in RWBY and how it applies to physical stats.
It's like all we know is that magic was something humans use to have until the first iteration of humanity was destroyed and now only a select few can use magic, nothing about how it works or how it applies to physical stats and if it gives the user an amp to begin with
- 3,091
- 608
They arent good examples bro
You cant just throw out any out of context feat that can actually be explained and observed properly to find that, no actually, Cinder wasnt just relying on a physical strength buff, and then expect me to completely turn heel for your benefit
Breaking through a wall isnt impressive. We literally see Winter and penny able to parry and somewhat keep up physically other than the grimm arm. This doesnt prove squat, and if anything its just another showing that Maidens arent overwhelmingly physically powerful than other characters in the same way their elemental powers are
- 3,091
- 608
They didnt, but people here just refuse to believe RWBYS inconsistency kinda just being a huge reason for power scaling discourse here. The amount of aura arguments...
Either way its never officially been stated maiden powers give you buffs, just that it gives you elemental magic. It would need to actively be proven that maidens physical stats compare to their elemental stats, and even if that was the case, for them to show a direct level of power usage against the main cast

Speaking of the RWBY x JL movies, I recently saw a Reddit post on the official RWBY subreddit which compiles a number of statements from directors or people who work with CRWBY
Basically it states that the movies, and even Cross Tag Battle, are not canon to the core RWBY story and are instead seen a multiverse way where they're in their own universes but aren't tied to the actual main continuity. Now I am aware that there was a big talk about the canonicity of these movies, but I just wanted to share this for anyone who still wondered.

That's what I was thinking personally, if the feats are substantial enough and if they're differ enough from their canon counterparts then I think we could make profiles for the AU versions, the Justice League, Kilgore, and Arthur Watts
- 6,387

I don't think anyone (me included) is against making profiles for these au versions of characters, makes sense. What I think is the main contention is that some folks want to apply this stuff into the canon story (specifically feats and abilities).

I don't know anyone here on the wiki that would do something like that

Johnny Test vs Yang Xiao Long
Why not? Johnny Test (Johnny Test) vs Yang Xiao Long (RWBY) Gonna do something a little different here. There will be two rounds here: Johnny vs Yang in their High 8-C keys (Base Johnny vs Beacon Yang). Johnny vs Yang in their 7-C keys (Base Johnny vs Post-Haven Yang). Speed will be...

Would any of the characters in RWBY be able to put up a good fight against the MKX Predator? I'm looking for good matchups to use him with and was wondering if I had to throw him at people individually or jump straight to an entire Team.

Anyways, what I plan on cooking up
*All characters gaining Awaken power via evolving their semblance
*Aura granting residence to possession
*Nora's semblance granting a speed boost
*the nuck becomes city block level via upscaling
*baseline power Absorption resistance for all characters with Aura
*Ascend Ruby being 2 times stronger (2 Megatons) thanks to the Furious Cat taking Burn Yangs attacks without a aura, Ruby scales to the Furious Cat
*Ruby, Ren, Qrow have resistance to electricity as they both survived lightning dust in vol 5, 6
*a varies rating for Adam's semblances, as he can store up his absorbed hits and send it back (probably give him damage boost)

If you’re doing this, make sure to also propose the Gods getting Statistics Amplification since their magic is what powered up Neo’s Semblance.

There is also a good storm feat as well that JL RWBY should scale to.

They do act strangely in the movie in that they seem to retract back after they fire. In addition to not being called laser. But they also show no force and move in a straight line. Plus them coming from a mechanical source also helps.

So just to clarify, how's the situation with RWBY skill again? Like, nothing too advanced, just the one we know?
Because a part of this reasoning is literally just that they don't buy the skill feats we have

I've heard, I thought the problems were mostly for the later volumes?
