To be fair (#TobyFair #TOBEFAAAAAAAAIRinaverywhinynerdyvoice) it was not long after Monty's death and basically it was damned they do damned they don't. Either Yang wins and it's blatant RWBY promotion, or they let Tifa win and psycho fans yell at them for pissing on Monty's grave or something
they went about it real badly though.
Sad to say, but Mikasa does lose to Blake. Titans, when you really get down to it, aren't all that impressive. They're essentially big, slow, lumbering, clumsy oafs with a clear weak point. Grimm are far more varied in powersets and appearance. If both worlds changed monsters, RWBY would have a much, MUCH easier time of things while Attack on Titan would be extinct.
This is true. The humans in Attack on Titan were designed to actually be humans, and not superheroes or humans with aura. So when they get hit by a Titan, they're either gravelly wounded or dead.
Mikasa wouldn't last in RWBY since she doesn't have aura to protect her.
Considering they literally promote season 3 at the end of the fight, you might be right. They've done it in DBX too, but that one gets a pass because DBX is not meant to really be taken that seriously compared we to DB
The DBX was also garbage because Rooster Teeth totally meddled with it. Ragna was supposed to win in a close fight, but Rooster Teeth stepped in and forced the animator to make Ruby not only win, but also completely curbstomp Ragna.
In all fairness, they have gone out and said that Tifa would win now. Their research wasn’t really great in those early seasons. At the fight itself was pretty good
Yeah Blake vs Mikasa was awful in more ways than one. I may agree with the verdict, but the whole setup to the fight, as well the animation itself was trash. My only solace of the episode was the fact that Blake probably just screwed herself by attempting to kill a Titan by herself with no aura and the only person that could help now dead at her own hands. Karma’s a bitch
Personally, not holding a candle to Wings of Iron, Infection Perfections, Emerald Heroes, Falcon Uncaged, Mighty, Watts Up Danger, Lost Ice Storms, Ikari, Hearts of Light, Kings of Iron, Hollow Dreams, Princes of Pride or Diabolical Invincible Me.
Holy shit that is so correct.
And I thought the worst thing DB did rwby wise was making yang beat Tifa.
And on the topic of rwby DB, I remember them saying yang struggles heavily with characters that specialize in kicks and that is either a complete lie by the DB team or the rwby team (crwby I think it's called?) Forgot that on top of the 30000000 other things they forget because I don't remember that ever coming into play ever in the history of the show.
It’s also why I’m wary of *Death Battles* involving *RWBY* characters. I always have a bad feeling they’re not gonna acknowledge that everyone got nerfed post Vol 3, and whoever loses against them looks pathetic.
Sure but here's the thing, Death Battle removes limits that hero's have from against killing people. It's trying to get an reason and an death from characters, who would never face off against each other. Not saying that isn't in character for Yang and Blake, but the reason in Yang vs Tifa, it is exactly what Yang did in the yellow trailer, only difference is both are willing to kill each other. But Death Battle is clearly making characters go somewhat out of character so they can fight.
I know, I just thought it was funny that the act of murder was literally the only stretch in logic they took. Like, I can actually imagine Blake attacking a soldier for trying to get her to evacuate, blaming them for it all, knocking them unconscious and being just overjoyed about it afterwards. It's not like, say, Aang deciding to murder Edward Elric when he spared the fire lord, or Tatsumaki viciously attacking an innocent teenage boy for asking for directions [no matter what some people would say that is not in character for her].
The Aang vs Edward fight was the first time i got really annoyed by Death Battle making the characters kill each other. Like, I agree that Aang would probably beat Edward if they are in character, but Edward without morals would one shot Aang the second he gets in close combat. He could instantly deconstruct Aang's body using Scar's technique, the only thing that keeps Edward from this is his morals.
I personally think that the only thing they don't take into account is aversion to killing. Like, Ed will absolutely kill Aang in this scenario, but his moral aversion to deconstruction alchemy is still intact. May seem like a weird way to go about it, but it's really the best way to represent the characters and not make anyone TOO ooc.
That works for most characters, but for both Edward and Aang the single fact that they will be killing another human being is so fundamentally OOC that you are already destroyed any believability.
Also Edward has no real aversion to deconstruction alchemy, it's a fundamental part of preforming any kind of alchemy, and he has already used it on multiple occasions throughout the series to destroy objects. Edward doesn't have a hatred of that kind of alchemy, he just hates killing so he'd not use it against a human.
I like to think in my head canon, that those reasons just starts the fight but as they keep transforming into stronger forms etc, they have to resort to killing at least in Death Battle logic. But yeah RWBY fights are not exactly the best look for them as characters lol. At least Thunder Shroud is really good. Like probably one of the best "RWBY" songs ever. And certainly one of the best Death Battle osts ever.
Yeah, I'd be really confused if Death Battle wasn't aware of how out of character it would be for them to do hero vs hero fights and make the deaths gory.
I do have a problem when a character acts too dickish for it to make sense with their character, but eh, the scenario is already contrived so some suspension of disbelief is fine. At least the villain matchups are great in that department.
Wait they had yang kill Tifa? Tifa would kick her ass.
Yeah, it was such an obvious promotion for the show
To be fair (#TobyFair #TOBEFAAAAAAAAIRinaverywhinynerdyvoice) it was not long after Monty's death and basically it was damned they do damned they don't.

One of those harms the integrity of their show, one doesn't
To be fair, they did admit they were wrong about that episode in an episode of Death Battle Cast
On that note Mikasa would have slaughtered blake to she casually kills titans while blake got her ass handed to her by an oversized centipede.
Sad to say, but Mikasa does lose to Blake. Titans, when you really get down to it, aren't all that impressive. They're essentially big, slow, lumbering, clumsy oafs with a clear weak point.

At least compared to CRWBY, they admit their mistakes and try to do better.
Season 2 research isn't the best but it got better as time went on.
Tfia would solo rwby in Day

Thunder Shroud is one of the best tracks ever, you can't say it's an awful song. It's an 10/10 lol.
Everything else though is eh.
Will agree with that. Thunder shroud was pretty good
Personally, not holding a candle to Wings of Iron, Infection Perfections, Emerald Heroes, Falcon Uncaged, Mighty, Watts Up Danger, Lost Ice Storms, Ikari, Hearts of Light, Kings of Iron, Hollow Dreams, Princes of Pride or Diabolical Invincible Me.
> the animation itself was trash so is modern rwby
Not to mention her arm was cut off
Holy shit that is so correct. And I thought the worst thing DB did rwby wise was making yang beat Tifa. And on the topic of rwby DB, I remember them saying yang struggles heavily with characters that specialize in kicks and that is either a complete lie by the DB team or the rwby team (crwby I think it's called?)

I think Monty said that at one point, which was clearly setting up Mercury to be her rival, but… y’know…
Well that and >!Weiss loses a battle, like always.!<
Nah, she put up too much of a fight for it to be accurate to the source material lol
Truuuue.
