Metal Arm vs Metal Arm (Yang vs Winter Soldier)

@COB If her arms and legs are able to be broken, that means her aura is down, and her Semblance would activate long before that happens.
 
Basically it lasts until she deactivates it herself or she gets put down. It doesnt have a set time limit.
 
Nope, semblances dont run on Aura. Not sure why people think that, youre not the first person to mention that.
 
Might be because from what I remember some Semblance usage tires out people. I remember Sun being tired in Vol 4. Or I assume that's a reason why they don't use Semblances as much otherwise they would've won all their battles.

Oh, the wiki about Semblance in the RWBY page says people can't use their Semblances when their aura is depleted it seems. And Semblances are a manifestation of one's aura and soul, so it might be that.
 
@COB It really doesnt. Sun has used his Semblance several times before with no ill effects (See the Sea Dragon fight for example). Really the only one who had any trouble using their semblance for extended periods of time in combat was Weiss, who already has noted stamina problems, and even then by volume 3 that wasnt even an issue anymore.

Yeah no, i have no idea why they said this when its contradicted several times in the show itself. Qrow's semblence has worked when his aura is gone, Pyrrha's worked when her aura was gone, it makes no sense for them to just say "Oh, no aura means no semblence" when the show proves otherwise.

Basically, that statement from them isnt legit

The part about it being a manifestation of the soul is though
 
Yang, Weiss, and Ruby get a decent amount of VS threads and even have a few completed. Blake, on the other hand, has one initiated thread and zero completed matches. Why is this?
 
Because Blake vs Black Panther led to a full scale revision of BP's equipment so the one match that WAS completed had to be removed. No one has made another match for her since.
 
Considering that's literally only one of a bunch of different reasons.

No.
 
Got to go with Winter Soldier. The skill gap is pretty big and he's used to fighting opponents that are stronger than him.

I mean this could go similarly to how Neo beat Yang, superior skill obliterated her (granted Yang's gotten better in vol 5). I see Winter Soldier as having the skill and experience to like Qrow or Tyrian so yeah he wins.

Definitely got to make Winter vs Winter Soldier though
 
Considering there's still debate here I'm gonna do a Grace even if it's descisive
 
Okay, I'll stick with Winter Soldier. Yang could easily overpower him, but considering all the moves he knows, he could probably do some serious damage, as there are quite a few That could just break her arm without just sheer brute force. Although it would be extremely close, I think Winter Soldier's edge is just big enough.
 
Literally the only reason Neo beat Yang is because Yang was exhausted after having fought Grim for an entire day straight and then getting barely any sleep beforethe fight, not due to Neo having superior skill

He needs to take her aura down befoe he can break her limbs, and her semblance would activate before that happens
 
You gave the example of it blocking kicks, but what about a judo throw, or twisting her arm all out of wack?
 
I mean grappling is just going to get him a point blank explosion to the face and twisting her arm is going to get him launched with a blow hard enough to daze Nora Valkyrie, and this is assuming he tries to do this at the beginning of the fight. If he tries to after Yang has already taken some damage then that's not going to work well in his favor at all.

Technically Yang should be able to overpower him in this department in general, this is likely one of the few instances where lifting strength would actually matter.
 
Weekly does have a point. Skills only do so much if your opponent can quite literally toss you away
 
I get the whole Neo thing but Yang never showed signs of fatigue before or during the fight.

Still the skill gap is BIG. Tyrian wiped the floor with a 4 v 1 scenario and Winter Soldier should be around his level of expertise. Keep in mind Tyrian didn't get hit either.

I love RWBY and all but all the students are currently not high tier when considering skill or experience (except Pyrrha, but that's an exception).
 
Mostly skill. There shouldn't be that much difference in stat since they can block as well as attack him (Ruby cutting off his tail). I think RWBY is about varying degrees of skill between characters and not how much stronger one is than the other
 
He was kinda blocking Ruby's attacks without even looking and casually took an attack from Nora while she was charged.

Ruby cut off his tail yes, but after he took a beating from Qrow.
 
He blocked a charged attack from Nora with his tail which we can correctly assume is much stronger than the rest of his body.

Blocking with out even looking is a testament to his skill.

Taking a beating from Qrow doesn't mean anything when talking specifically about his tail (he was out of Aura though)
 
@Nico Why would we randomly assume his tail is stronger than the rest of his body?

And no, Qrow literally beat the shit out of him when he lost his sword and Tryian was just fine a few seconds later.
