Gauntlets vs Greaves

Is there something wrong?

I also have threads for Katsuragi vs Yusuke, Yusuke vs Yang, Ruby vs Hiei, and Homura vs Yusuke if you don't like this thread.
 
That's an interesting match-up. Yang uses her semblance when she's serious, but while extremely skilled, Katsuragi is so aloof that both will take quite long to start fighting seriously. But since Katsuragi is way more skilled than Yang due to being able to take down world-class fighters while not serious, she'll lead the battle during this whole part. When Yang activates her semblance, it might as well be too late. The versatility level is surprisingly similar, so I'm giving this to Katsuragi with high difficulty.
 
Yang takes this with mid-low diff due to taking things seriously a lot sooner. By the time Kat stops trying to molest her, Yang's semblance will have made up that AP/dura advantage. She's also got a range advantage which, assuming this is post-timeskip she'll make use of, and honestly she's far better in H2H than Kat could ever dream of being.
 
There are so many definitions for "H2H" that I took five minutes to find out that you wanted to say "hand to hand", mate. In any way, I disagree with that. Katsuragi's whole combat is CQC. Each of these individual characters is one of the most skilled shinobi in her entire world, and despite rarely being seriously, she routinely puts up a fight or wins either 1v1s or even 1v4s against them. Saying Katsuragi is less skilled needs a really good reason.

I'm not seeing Yang's values, she seems to scale from being "far better" than a 1.48 tons feat, making her baseline High 8-C as is our standard for scaling characters this way. Even if her semblance can allow her to surpass the difference in AP, fact is that Katsuragi scales from being considerably stronger than a 4 tons feat. Yang's semblance might as well only make her as strong as Katsuragi, and that while Yang takes considerable damage with each blow and Kat can go unpunished by most of her attacks.

Also, how do you know that Yang will take the battle seriously much sooner? Even if she does, Kat's capability to casually win 1v4s against extremely skilled and serious characters who scale from her means that this shouldn't do much. If it's her rage, Yang will become predictable, and being predictable is not what you want against a game character. You kinda didn't explain yourself that much.

Katsuragi has fought opponents with a greater range before, and she won. It's one of the characters she could take on a team of four of, even though such character scales to her own level of power. She's fought characters with a range on the several hundreds of meters before, and if all Yang can do with that range is shoot predictable projectiles, she doesn't have any real advantage. Yang being serious and using her range advantage to its best does... nothing much.

Her fighting style consists of kicking wildly and it has not evolved past this since the beginning of the series. Occasionally she summons a dragon or makes a tornado, but the summoning lasts for a few seconds, and the tornado doesn't comoare to what Merc did to her during their fight. It gets quite predictable if she can't put her opponent down quickly.

Each of these individual characters is one of the most skilled shinobi in her entire world

No, they're not. They're not even full-fledged shinobi yet, they're all still students. Nowhere in the series is it said or even implied any of them are the "most skilled shinobi in the world."

and despite rarely being seriously, she routinely puts up a fight or wins either 1v1s or even 1v4s against them.

Conversely, she routinely loses 1v1s or even matches in which she's in a group with 2 other people against a single opponent. There's never been a 4v1 in any of the games, albeit likely because the games' engines haven't been able to handle it up to this point.

Saying Katsuragi is less skilled needs a really good reason.

Well if all that wasn't enough for you, I might add that in none of those 3v1 fights were Kat's opponents ever actually trying to kill her, nor she them.

I'm not seeing Yang's values, she seems to scale from being "far better" than a 1.48 tons feat, making her baseline High 8-C as is our standard for scaling characters this way.

And by taking hits, that value increases for her. Considering her opponent is not overwhelmingly stronger than her, especially considering she's not serious which I'll explain why later, tanking hits from Kat should be no issue for her.

Even if her semblance can allow her to surpass the difference in AP, fact is that Katsuragi scales from being considerably stronger than a 4 tons feat.

That is not fact. Kat is not considerably stronger than Ryona; nowhere is this stated or implied.

Yang's semblance might as well only make her as strong as Katsuragi, and that while Yang takes considerable damage with each blow and Kat can go unpunished by most of her attacks.

Kat can't go unpunished by most of her attacks, hell she can't even go unpunished by one. And thanks to Yang's aura being stronger than most, she shouldn't be taking any more damage from Kat's blows than Kat will from hers.

Also, how do you know that Yang will take the battle seriously much sooner?

Because I watch RWBY. And I play Senran Kagura. By volume 4 Yang has learned not to **** around, while Kat does with every opponent and especially will here considering her opponent is quite well-endowed.

Even if she does, Kat's capability to casually win 1v4s against extremely skilled and serious characters who scale from her means that this shouldn't do much.

She's also lost 3v1s where she was serious.

If it's her rage, Yang will become predictable

Vol 5 Yang doesn't get angry nearly as easily.

and being predictable is not what you want against a game character.

What... what the **** does being a game character have to do with anything?

You kinda didn't explain yourself that much.

Apparently not, so here I am doing just that.

Katsuragi has fought opponents with a greater range before, and she won.

So has Yang. Kat has also fought people with the same range as herself and lost.

It's one of the characters she could take on a team of four of, even though such character scales to her own level of power.

I can't stress enough to you that Kat has also lost 1v1s and 3v1s where she was on the team of 3.

She's fought characters with a range on the several hundreds of meters before, and if all Yang can do with that range is shoot predictable projectiles, she doesn't have any real advantage. Yang being serious and using her range advantage to its best does... nothing much.

See above.
 
Yang FRA.

Also, Yang - 7 (Ovens, Velox, Xanx, Mand, Arrogant, Weekly, Dargoo)

Pretty sure that's unanimous, seeing as the vote that everyone previously FRA'd switched to Yang and was throughly disproved.
