Everyone knows floating landmasses held down by chains gets you large planet level.

I am going to suck up your aura like kirby

 

[Spinoirr]

I mean if you want her to be a threat, show her living getting curshed by a floating city with out her immortality saving her ass

 

[DMUA]

Foolishness, obviously the best way to set tension is to have your villain rely on exactly one gimick

 

[Spinoirr]

Oh no she is immortal

But in a verse thats haxless as rwby kinda makes her a threat as she can't get killed by anyone

 

[Schnee_One]

You mean aside from the obvious silver eyes

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

It wouldn't be RWBY if people weren't complaining about things that haven't even happened

 

[Schnee_One]

Who? What do you mean?

 

[Spinoirr]

Well we have no idea if they would even work on her

 

[Schnee_One]

They work on Grimm

She's a Grimm

Or a humanoid Grimm, IDK

 

[ShadowWhoWalks]

Strong Grimm are petrified instead of disintegrated by Silver Eyes because they are resistant to it. Leviathan was able to straight up shrug off a petrification attempt.

Since Salem wants to capture Ruby instead of assassinate her like she did with other Silver-Eyed Warriors, she doesn't consider her a risk and is probably highly resistant to the silver holy light. Considering Salem's magic is at least four times stronger than a Maiden's, she can probably create a barrier against it as well.

You know something I really hope this series goes into that would be such an interesting thing to see it tackle

What separates a Huntsman or Huntress from a Mercenary?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Huntsmen dont really hunt down other people

 

[Schnee_One]

?

 

[Schnee_One]

Let me reiterate my point I guess.

What separates a Huntsman from a Private Military company, as opposed to full on soldiers. Both in the way they get paid and are assigned missions.

 

[ShadowWhoWalks]

Huntsmen are not comparable to a PMC; they are not tied to a specific kingdom or organization post graduation, nor do they have a chain of command (unless they voluntarily team up with other Huntsmen for a mission). What separates them from mercenaries is that they have a professional license, with professional training and presumably a code of conduct, and that's about it. The types of missions we've seen listed can all be theoretically taken by mercenaries, and they are:

Search and Rescue; Search and Destroy; Perimeter Defense; Village Security; Bounty; Escort

Similar themes about the identity of Huntsmen are explored through introducing "Atlesian Specialists", in which Huntsmen are recruited into the military as elite soldiers loyal to a single kingdom.

 

[Schnee_One]

This guy knows what he's saying^

To be fair most mercenaries are typically ex soldiers, so they do have professional training, code of conduct is debatable considering these people left the military to become mercenaries.

The thing is we've also presumed that Huntsmen are willing to partake in less the respectable jobs as noted by Qrow (I know that was a joke story but I heavily doubt this isn't a possibility).

All in all I really wish RWBY can go into detail regarding this, of you look up controversy regarding Mercenaries most problems can still apply to Huntsman. Do they have too much freedom? Should they be given specific tasks and be more contained? Stuff like this would be interesting.

You'll all find this interesting

ayy my thread

 

[DMUA]

TBH i was totally waiting for. Kep to somehow rip into it so I've refrained from really giving it a look

Kep is a boomer lmao

 

[DMUA]

He's also your senior and i would recommend you respect him before he enforces it via belt

Also, I did give it a basic look, I can't tell what's off. Like, it's ome of those things where the result feels wack but you don't know why, or even if it is mathematically or if it just seems weird to have 8-B volume forking one

 

[Spinoirr]

I mean the manga has MCB in its volume 1

 

[Spinoirr]

So penny is still city block and she did that feat in volume 1

There are 8-A outliers in volume 1 so...

 

[Spinoirr]

Wait what 8-A?

Commented. The math is fine but it contextualizes the feat wrong - the chunks that are a result of the impact are far too large even for our minimum fragmentation value, and it doesn't really shatter the entirety of the measured volume on impact, it mostly shatters the pillars (the part it actually hits) before the structure crumbles on its own violition.

I'll be the boomer in Kep's place

[Community_Gamer]

SO, why was all of RWBY nerfed to Large Building? And is there a thread for this revision I can read? And you know.......tell why its wrong.

Thanks.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

That happened years ago

 

[DMUA]

I don't think it's quite reached the two year mark but it was way way back

I would recommend however that you don't immediately view the thread with the sentiment it must be wrong, though. If you're just going to try and find your preconceived notion in something, you're going to be spouting more fallacies than arguments

and that's not very encouraging considering how long I'd have to dig for that sucker

I was mainly being sarcastic, but just so you know I am referring to when did they go from City Block to Large Building.

 

[TheRustyOne]

I did my own version of the feat, I only measure the bottom part. Got High 8-C+ results.

 

[DMUA]

The top is the only part that shatters.

 

[TheRustyOne]

The top is the only part that shatters.

The Nevermore flies into the bottom, it even sends a big chunk of it upward and horizontal when it does. What do you even mean by that?

 

[DMUA]

The pillars don't entirely shatter, it goes through the upper portion and shatters the top

 

[TheRustyOne]

I'm not sure what you're saying, what do the pillars have to do with my calc?

Unless you're talking about something else?

 

[TheRustyOne]

I did the platform because Dragoo pointed out the top part likely collapsed due to gravity, after it's foundation was destroyed. So I measured the part that was broken by the charge.

Gravity wouldn't have sent the platform upward, the Nevermore's charge must've done it then. That means it broke because of the it.

Was I only suppose to measure the part of the pillars the Nevermore broke?

 

[DMUA]

Oh boy one of these types of conversations

So like, you have the original shot of Yanf standinf on a pillar, and you use that to determine it's size, right


.. wait for fork's sake you actually measured the main structure and nothing to do with shattering any pillars

Still though the top does get fragged by the hit, stuff doesn't just come apart when it falls, so ugh
