[WeeklyBattles]

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 (Low to Mid-Low), Able to convert damage into power with her Semblance, 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), 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.

Knuckles

==Powers and Stats== Tier: 8-A Name: Knuckles the Echidna Origin: Sonic the Hedgehog (Debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog 3) Gender: Male Age: 17 Classification: Anthropomorphic Echidna, Guardian of the Master Emerald, Leader of the Resistance Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts, Spin Dash, Forcefield Creation (Of the fire and electricity variaties via Insta-Shield), Can sense emerald power, Can use the Master Emerald and control its powers, Can glide through the air and dig through the ground Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (Fought Classic Sonic, Tails and Mecha Sonic) Speed: Sub-Relativistic+ Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 (Physically stronger than Shadow, who can overturn buses with one hand) Striking Strength: Multi-City Block Class Durability: Multi-City Block level (Took a massive beating from both Sonic and Tails in Sonic 3 and he was just dazed) Stamina: Very high, among the highest on Sonic's team. Limitless as Super Knuckles. Range: Standard melee range. Hundreds of meters with his attacks and abilities Standard Equipment: None Intelligence: Book smart (seems to have extensive knowledge of ancient civilizations, as he was able to translate an ancient language in the Gigan Rocks), skilled combatant, though a little naive (trusts individuals like Eggman despite him tricking him many times) Weaknesses: His attacks are readable as stated by Sonic Notable Attacks/Techniques: Insta-Shield: Knuckles creates a temporary shield for a split-second that can slash enemies and items within their range without having to touch them.

Inconclusive - 0

 

[KinkiestSins]

You really need to show me how to link those profiles into an info box for convenience, @Weekly I will vote Yang for semblance via mid high diff. She will overcome Knuckles AP and Dura (Eventually) and beat him in a few shots. Vote is subject to change tho.

 

[Kaltias]

Knuckles scales from a 220 tons feat.

Yang scales from being significantly stronger than her Volume 3 self, who is in turn stronger than her Volume 1 self who was stronger than Ruby who could overpower 140 tons characters (that's without the Semblance). She probably has the AP advantage (although I don't know if Knuckles is significantly above the 220 tons feat or not). She also has better lifting strength so she will have a easier time pushing back his attacks.

They seem even skills-wise seeing how now she has training and more experience compared to her previous self, although Knuckles fought longer

His forcefields also won't help unless she goes for shells using Red Dust (they block fire).

Voting Yang, she should win unless she freezes mid battle due to PTSD, but I doubt that it will happen many times.

Yang FRA

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Bump

 

[TheRustyOne]

Voting for Yang for Kaltias reasons.

 

[Nico-v11]

Voting for Yang. She's got more power than him and will continually get stronger. His shield is the only thing that makes a difference here but even then it only works for a second.

 

[PrettyFearMachine]

Yang for reasons above.

 

[Schnee_One]

Yang FRA

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

I believe that makes 7 for Yang

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yup thats 7
