Yang

==Powers and Stats== Tier: 8-A, higher with her Semblance Name: Yang Xiao Long Origin: RWBY Gender: Female Age: 17 Classification: Human, Huntress-in-training, Member of Team RWBY Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Able to manipulate and use her Aura defensively (Enhances her natural durability), offensively (Enhances her striking power and sharpens her senses), and able to unlock the Aura of another perso, Regenerationn (Mid-Low), Able to convert damage into power with her Semblance, Energy Projection, Fire Manipulation Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (Much stronger than before, Knocked Taiyang, a professional Huntsman, back several feet with a single punch), higher with her Semblance Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Kept up with Mercury Black, Comparable to Blake) Lifting Strength: Class M (Stronger than Ruby and comparable to Nora), higher with her Semblance Striking Strength: Multi-City Block Class, higher with her Semblance Durability: Multi-City Block level Stamina: High Range: Standard melee range to dozens of meters with gauntlets Standard Equipment: Ember Celica (Ranged Shot Gauntlet) Intelligence: Yang is a highly skilled fighter, being able to outmatch groups of enemies and monsters much larger than herself in hand to hand combat. Her fighting style is much more aggressive than that of her teammates, bearing resemblance to a combination of boxing and kickboxing. However her brawler fighting style is representative of her personality, as her anger, one of her main assets in battle, can lead her to act predictably. After losing her arm in an encounter with Adam Taurus and gaining a mechanical replacement, she spent several months receiving one on one combat training from her father, a professional huntsman, as well as learning how to to balance her driven and positive nature without overconfidence or agitation) Weaknesses: Suffers from PTSD from losing her arm (Which manifests as her left arm shaking), Continual use of her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left weakened or even incapacitated Notable Attacks/Techniques: Ember Celica: Yang's primary weapon is a former pair, now singular, of gauntlets known as Ember Celica. When Yang throws a punch, she can shoot explosive rounds from Ember Celica for ranged attacks, although not every single jab activates the weapon. Yang has two types of ammunition she can utilize with Ember Celica; Standard Shells and Red Shells. Standard shells create pulses of raw kinetic energy that have no solid projectiles, while Red Shells are a solid projectile that explodes on contact. Ember Celica also has powerful recoil, which can be utilized to augment the force of her punch and accelerate her movements, the force being able to launch her high in the air. She can also use her Ember Celica as a form of armor when defending against attacks in unarmed combat. After the events of "Heroes and Monsters", Yang only has one Ember Celica, due to her lost arm. Quake: Yang strikes the ground, creating a shockwave that knocks enemies back and shatters the ground beneath her. Sunbreaker: Yang unleashes a devastating uppercut, launching herself off the ground and knocking anyone hit into the air. Blast Wave: Yang punches with enough force to release a series of three large shockwaves that increase in size as they travel away from her. Semblance: Wreathed in Flames: Yang's Semblance is the ability to absorb energy from the damage she's taken, and redirect it twice as hard at her opponent, effectively making her faster and stronger with each hit. Her ability also causes her eyes to change color from lilac to red, which is a "side-effect" of her Semblance, though it does occasionally happen outside of combat. When using her Semblance, she draws power from her hair. However, Yang's Semblance does not grant her invincibility, and she does take damage from her opponents, as shown when Adam Taurus cuts her right arm off with Wilt and Blush. Although a powerful Semblance, Yang is unable to power it up without taking damage first, and fighters well-versed in dodging attacks can frustrate Yang, making her attacks predictable and easily avoided, rendering the added power useless. Her anger also causes her to unintentionally activate her Semblance, even if she is not in a battle.

Been waiting to be able to make this for a loooong time, thank you Dark for finally making the page

In character, no prior knolwedge or prep time, SPEED EQUALIZED

Jacqui - 1 (Theglassman12)

Yang - 8 (Akreious, Starryknight200, Gargoyle One, Sir Ovens, Poinciana1971, Dat Dot, Kaltias, Cropfist)

Inconclusive - 0

 

[Akreious]

I'm not sure if Jacqui can really win. With each hit Yang takes, she'd only get more and more powerful before the skill gap becomes meaningless.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Wow just completely undermine my Jax vs Yang thread why don't ya?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

@Starry Ive been waiting to make this matchup for over a year

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Yang for Akreious's reasons

 

[Theglassman12]

Jacqui should take this via attack reflection and more experience.

 

[Schnee_One]

Yang.

Jacqui may have the skill advantage and the mindset, but Yangs on skill along with her semblance and aura give her a descisive edge.

Vote towards bae.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Bump

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Yang takes this. Tech shield won't work once Yang figures out how they work. Yang's a brawler anyway, she won't resort to solely ranged attacks. When Yang's semblance kicks in, Jacqui isn't going to be able to keep up. Especially when her opponent is constantly getting stronger from her punches.

 

[TheRustyOne]

I'm voting Yang for Sir Ovens reasons.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Bump

Because Yang can never have enough victories

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Plz, RWBY has other characters.

She's gonna become spam real soon.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

But Yang is best girl so if she becomes spammed I'm not gonna complain.

 

[Dat_Dot]

Yang for reason above.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

One more and blondie wins

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Buuuuuuuump''' One more and blondie wins '''

 

[Kaltias]

V5 Yang, right?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Eeyup

 

[Kaltias]

Then Yang should take this. Skilled enough to hold her own, probably comparable in AP, becomes stronger with each hit and attack reflection shouldn't do much unless she is trying to stay out of range, and she would notice it anyway. Add speed equal to the OP tho

 

[Cropfist]

Jacqui for glassman's reasons.
