Man, I thought I'd cash in on the flavor of the month by trying to think up an OC DONUT STEEL who's semblance is the main gimmick of SuperHot (time for them only moves when they move), but I can't help but think how would that look any different from normal Monty-style fighting?

Last stream they did they said Monty planned out 20 seasons worth of content.

Fact is, Monty came up with shit, let M&K fill in the blanks, and then just did fights.
As far as story goes, RWBY will likely be as it ever was intended.
Whether the quality of the fights will go up again without Monty around...well, we'll see.

Oh man, imagine if all the dust in her sheath is just a different copy of her main blade.
>>
>>80242363
Yes. Yes it is.

Thus my point of "quality of the fights going up -again-".

Without Monty or his protege, the choreography has noticeably declined, even if the overall animation has improved. It's also become more "Realistic". Slower, even-paced, and with more detail shown. It's definitely lost the "Cuhrazy" that Monty would inject into things.

The last few fights of V3 did show a bit more creativity, so perhaps there is hope yet. We shall see.

Ozpin could have been a Sans to Cinder. A powerful figure that only comes to fight when things are the most perilous, but whom also has the very best chance of beating the monster.

But then Cinder subdues him in minutes, and it's up to a mere student to actually stall the Fall.

What's with the recent linking and discussion of fanfiction apart from the usual greentexts?

There's been some in the past, but there's a lot more since the finale.

Is the hiatus finally kicking in, or is this a consequence of autismo?

The finale was the best of RWBY so far, and quite a bit of it is due to that it's a turn to a good direction.

It was nice because all the effort put into Pyrrha's development bore fruit, but also a shame that the writing had to be so focused to make it work.

The story is getting better and has potential, it's just that the writing needs to be worked on.

I wouldn't mind it if someone that wasn't Ruby did ANYTHING.

Count the major threats in the last two episodes, then check who stopped them. Turns out if Ruby wasn't the one to stop them nobody did. Usually in a bullshit way.

It's too early in the show for her to be God tier, especially since it didn't feel like she earned any victories.

We have all these badass grown huntsmen fighting mooks while Ruby and only Ruby is allowed to succeed against major antagonists/plot points.

The alternative to this is that Ruby destroyed the ship and shut down ALL the robots. Again she's just playing on a different level. I pretty much counted the robots as bigger versions of ground minions, killing minions =/= defeating a substantial threat.

On the other hand I suppose that particular issue is a matter of opinion, in the case you're right then it still leaves the fact that the veteran hunters did near nothing and Ruby's accomplishments vastly outmatch anyone elses.

How?

Let's say fifty meters away from you, Raven does the portal thing for infinite speed.

She then attacks you. You're distracted as she goes full bushido or whatever. All she has to do is shift the portals that the sword is going through to you.

You dodge.

She adjusts the end point again to hit you while still attacking you.

You dodge but the sword missile is just getting faster.

Now imagine that times ten. Swords shooting at every angle, even from the floor, all while she's slashing you to pieces.

Even then she could just grab another one midair.

If you were to ask me how someone would fight with portals and a ton shit of swords that's how I'd see it.
>>
>>80243113
Doesn't matter. According to the reporters, anything that isn't 100% canon is considered fanfiction that they have to report to uphold their duty as a 4chan citizen. Which means we can't post theories or speculation or ideas for how things will turn out next volume, or 10 volumes from now, or what have you.
They have effectively reduced the "acceptable posts" to "waifu wars" and "Give me (You)s" posts, yet claim to be doing it for "muh post quality."

Oh yeah. The Ragna hyena chick! I forgot to post the pasta

When I married my dear Willow, I took her to Vale for our honeymoon. I took her to the best restaurants and most exclusive parties in the kingdom. This one time I ordered the most rare Coffin Bay Oysters I could find on the menu and I washed it down with a bottle of champagne that once belonged to the first king of Vale. It cost me a whole year of the budget of the Atlesian military. What I'm trying to tell you is that I fucking hate oysters, they make me sick to my core and I am actually allergic to them, so much so that the last time I ate some I had to shell out 300,000 lien only in accommodations to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Atlas for the privilege of staying at the imperial room in my bed with vicuna sheets while a team of 7 world-class doctors made sure I receive the best care. The only reason I ate Coffin Bay Oysters was to show my beloved new wife that I am a man that can get anything he wants from this world and that can offer to his family whatever their wish desires. Supporting your writing would show nothing of that to my wife or the rest of the world, while making me ten times as sick. Reading your pathetic idea while presenting this shameful offer disgusts me to the core. For that reason, I'm out

I think a basic design would be better. Probably not a hyena because of Midori. Unless you want her to laugh a lot.

I liked the abilities though. Would be neat of she always wore heavy armor with the help of her semblance.
>>
>>80243234
Anon. Please don't call people out on exaggeration while exaggerating, yourself. That's just silly.

Seriously, though. With discussion, (more specifically hypothetical scenarios) we have to be pretty broad. Anything too specific apparently goes into fanfiction tier and gets deleted. The one I'm talking about specifically had about one line of dialogue between them, but because they were playing out how a scene might go, it was deleted. I'll admit, he does do greentext stories and what have you, but I would hardly call those specific posts fanfiction.

After rewatching volume 1 and then people saying the staff mentioned we've already seen an instance of Jaune's power, then it's probably the time Cardin punched him and a bright white light appeared with a ringing noise. Jaune was unharmed and fully healed when he landed and Cardin felt the pain on his hand. So people just assume that it's defensive oriented.

One of the main parts of the powers in Worm was how they augmented your mind to be able to handle them.

Controlling the motions of millions of bugs would have to require serious brain power, and that's not even taking into account how she would use them in intricate plans with silk strings, poison, and such.

Khepri broke down because her powers were changed without adapting her mind.

One could write a Worm-esque take on RWBY, especially considering how all the Semblances seem to be oriented towards combat, like the capes.

Really depends on his semblance. From the hints we got, it's defensive and he's now the only one of the mains with a shield because Pyrrha croaked so an emphasis on defense and positioning himself to protect people. I liked the idea where he's a moving wall/platform that supports his team. Ruby can kick off his shield to change direction mid-dash and pinball around. Nora can replicated her jump attack with Pyrrha using his shield. Not sure how Ren can fit in though.
>>
>>80243367
Some anon said it may be absorbing then returning. I personally don't think so considering Jaune doesn't need more aura.

An aura shield is kinda redundant considering Aura is basically an energy shield and you can make aura constructs.

Maybe it's reflecting or repelling? Not accelerator tier but sorta there.

Cardin was punching Jaune when he had his aura before and Cardin's fist was fine. It was just that one punch that made Cardin recoil back so there was definitely something there. Damage reflect really does seem like it. Jaune was also shown with a beat-up face a moment before it and then after the white light, he was fully healed. Just aura doing its usual thing or maybe also an effect of the semblance?

Well, the whole thing started with discussing the possibility of Jaune as a corrupted Grimm knight. But that's besides the point, I guess. I think everyone is just frustrated. Having to toe an invisible line that keeps moving further and further to the cliff. I can understand not wanting to have to scroll past entire threads worth of stories, but now it's getting to the point where even using a similar format is enough. Kind of makes you wonder what's next, you know? Who knows. Maybe the mods will think we're better off gone. I know I'm starting to. Anyways, thanks for being civil. Have an Oobleck.

I'm always down for awesome doodles. Would you be up for Ruby trying (and failing) to lift Nora's hammer while Ren and Jaune watch?
>>
>>80243473
It'll depend on how the battle plays out I guess.

If enemies are scattered, he can do the positioning thing while fighting an enemy or two. Or take an enemy away from someone else to help them. Like how offtanks sometimes take away a mob from the MT or a DPS to make the fight more manageable.

If enemies gather up on him somehow, they can ask Nora to nuke where he's standing and he can just activate his presumably defensive semblance.
>>
>>80243472
That's now how Aura works, the blow still follows through as normal, hurting the other guy, it just doesn't physically damage them.

>>80243496

That's an idea of seen for his Semblance; doesn't do anything special or crazy, but his aura is just more aura-y. Better shielding, better healing, etc.

Just you watch. Jaune's semblance will be something like he can link his allies together. A single word turns into a perfectly synced maneuver. Everyone thinks they're all just on the same page. Because it's still untrained, all he can pass along are general thoughts. Eventually he'll be able to pass along coherent, complex strategies and commands. Perfect to take on Salem's minions and generals while RWBY go in for the kill.

Or damage reflection. That works too, I guess.

Really? He's not some brilliant commander, anyone who isn't mentally retarded could have done what he does in a leadership position. And lets not forget he nearly screwed up that fight anyway.

Well, he did somehow convince 99% of Beacon that rather than an untrained fool, he was just a weakling. Think about it. Classes about Grimm, aura, combat, the absolute basics. That's like jumping from middle school to college and getting away with it. For possible MONTHS. The ability to simply 'suggest' that he's an actual student to the others certainly would help with that, wouldn't it?

I'm mostly just messing around shooting in the dark, but it certainly is fun to think about.
>>
>>80243694
So aura is just a shield that prevents damage to you but you can still feel the pain according to what I can remember some guys saying and also heals you. People are then saying that Jaune's semblance is like a better aura. It prevents damage, heals you and also reflects the damage back to the attacker is what I'm getting from that scene.

>>80243726
>It reflects force like regular matter.
So it doesn't send the "action" part of the force back to the enemy? Like if you punch someone, you'll feel the reaction part but the pain/damage still gets felt by your target. If Jaune really does reflect, punching him means the force of the punch gets doubled back to the attack since action+reaction?
>>
>>80243753
There are absolutely a set number of spots.

Why do you think they form teams of four? Do you think that there are just left over students who get paired in twos and threes?

There are a specific number of spots available and a privileged few accepted into the school take those spots. Jaune took the spot of someone who could actually fight, someone who would actually know what the fuck aura is.

You're forgetting that he would've died after the launch if Pyrrha didn't catch him.

From the start, for some reason, maybe castling, Pyrrha wanted to be with Jaune. She chose to.

Wasn't his choice to make.

No, the "action" part of the impact is absorbed by the aura (which is how it goes down from repeated attacks). If the impact is focused and strong enough it can punch through the aura like a piercing weapon through armor, or the aura can fail to absorb the entirety of the attack and some of the "action" then hits the person like normal.

I suppose he could theoretically "double" the effect, but I see no evidence of this. Cardin probably would have seriously injured his hand, as far as I remember, in the scene he just casually shakes it off.

Ozpin himself points out that he has made more mistakes than anyone else in the world.
His tone in the vault pretty much said what he thought of Jaune's usefulness.

Ozpin is the sort of person who blindly believes in peoples potential or spirit. Which is Salem's whole point, and the reason why Beacon pretty much completely lost the fight against Cinder's forces.

>>80243786
Oh, I'm sorry, is fighting ability not what is supposed to be important at a combat school meant to train fighters to fight fights against the evil creatures who have been fighting humanity for centuries?

Did you mean leadership is the most important quality? Because I should remind you that Jaune had to be taught leadership by a socially awkward 15 year old who acts 12.

>>
>>80243820
Yeah, kinda figured it was like that. The aura absorbs the force of the "action" and gets depleted but the attacker still feels the reaction. A reflect would send the action + reaction back to the attacker like a better aura.

I think people are pointing it out because of the light that covered the entire screen with a ringing noise that lasted quite a bit. That was also the first time Cardin hurt his hand punching Jaune's skull and the focus on it. If aura really did reflect force like a material object, then Cardin would have felt the reaction part to all his punches regardless since he's been punching someone's skull. It's only that one punch with the white light and ringing noise that hurt him.

A source for the students being in teams of four? Do you not watch the show? Did you not notice that the whole point of the "test" in the forest was to get students to work together as teams, not to weed people out? Did you miss the fact that there were a specific number of pieces at the temple, i.e. 20, a number divisible by four? If they wanted to weed people out, they wouldn't assign partners, they'd keep it an individual competition and decide teams based on who made it through and back.

Ruby was added before the semester began.

Ozpin also allowed Cinder, Emerald and Mercury to hang out at Beacon, and allowed Cinder to hack into the schools network, the CCT, and Ironwood's network. He's not really great at making good choices or paying attention to shit that isn't of direct interest to him. Pyrrha is fucking dumb (source: her being stupid enough to go throw her life away fighting Cinder) she's also blindly follows whatever happens because she's obsessed with destiny. How'd that work out for her?

But if it's reflection, then it means he actually doesn't take the damage and there's no danger to the one getting"hit".

The harder the hit, the better since it's all going back to the enemy anyway. Yang didn't reflect, her aura tried to take the hit to protect her but the hit was too powerful. If it was a real reflection though, then that strong hit will just be reflected back to the attacker.

It's like a cheap ass skill, the difference between someone having a barrier that you have to wittle down and a thorns aura.

Reflection seems like it could be a really overpowered ability unless it's somehow limited.
Like it only reflects physical kinetic attacks or can only use it every so often, etc.
Semblances are fueled by Aura though correct? Then Jaune would have the advantage of managing to keep his up longer due to his large Aura.

Probably should have picked a student who doesn't confuse his entire team with dumb move names, lack combat ability (i.e. making himself an easy target for attack, something your leader should not be), abandon his team for his own gain until he's told off by a younger student and can't manage to watch a fucking door.

Why can't it be both? Anyone that manages to survive and find a good partnership, they stay. Weed them out while also working on teamwork at the same time. 20 pieces in case they all make it. What if someone doesn't make it? Sucks to be them but they signed up for this.

I was thinking the same thing and surprised people aren't calling bullshit on it and even treating it as a "meh" ability.

Most games even limit it to reflect only a certain percent because reflecting all the damage is bullshit tier. Or they reflect the damage but you still get hurt the same. If it's something like "protects you from damage + redirects all the supposed damage back to the attacker" then it's broken.

I agree. But that doesn't change the fact that literally any of the other students who applied to beacon (a prestigious combat school that only takes in the best) would have already been that good or better without needing training.

If you put together a band and hire someone with downs, you could still eventually get them to play well. You could also have hired someone who already knows how to play their instrument really well.

Which do you think is going to be a stronger band? The one that has to spend time making up for one person's mistakes, covering for him, teaching them--or the band that can from day one practice as a collective and get better together?

But I don't think we should discourage those that actually grow into the team. Like how a rookie player that was overlooked on the draft managed to grow and eventually become a role player into the team. Judging people from the get-go and then discarding the possibility of people growing seems like a weird way of handling a school. They can always accept more on the assumption that some kids do die and teams are left odd numbered for example.

A specific number of chesspieces does not assume it could be all that there is or if it's constant. Glynda didn't even know what they're using as relics so it could have been anything and any number on another occasion for example. 20 or so slots this year. Maybe 30 next year depending on what Ozpin sees or scouts.

>>80244157
They are already in the school.

Glynda specifically says in the airship hologram:

"You are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy."

Ozpin, at the top of Beacon Cliff, says that they will "guard [the relic] as well as your standing and grade you appropriately"

There is nothing to suggest that anyone is going to be kicked out of the school. And if you'd like further indication, in the japanese version of V1 Glynda calls it a "jitsuryoku test". Which translates to basically a competency or proficiency test, not an entrance exam nyūgaku shiken (Nyuushi)--which would be the clear translation choice if it was a test to see who can be a student or not be one.

It's to determine their ability, group them, and teach them to work together with partners, not to eliminate weak students.

And? You have proof that there were more or less students? That there really were 20 chess pieces? That all of them were accounted for?

Why are there even 20?

If each piece was to signify a part on Ozpin's board then he should have 16.

Even then we see Cardin has a black piece to show how he'd be "bad".

For what purpose?
>>
>>80244278
Except Ozpin and Glynda call it initiation, which absolutely implies you will be kicked out if you can't get it. The Japanese dub means absolutely nothing.

>>
>>80244245
Okay not him but how many were actually trying out for it anyway? And how many didn't make it because not enough chess pieces?

Wouldn't having enough chess pieces for everyone that could actually work their way to get one chess piece be the best method in finding potential students? I thought that's what happened? Leftovers because some people didn't reach the goal? Then that's fine. That just means they weren't good enough.

Not a Jazz fan, eh?

I'm assuming that at a certain level of skill in a subject, fighting or music, you are able to perform well in a group dynamic. That's pretty basic. Good jazz musicians can, with fair ease, play with other good jazz musicians even without much, or nay rehearsal. That is not to say there wont be kinks, but they work them out pretty quickly and get into a rhythm and can play good music.

But if you through someone in with a group of jazz musicians, and that person has no idea how to play trumpet and has never heard of notes, and is just using their dad's old trumpet, but they sent in a recording of someone else playing... they're going to drag the group down. And sure, after a few months they might be able to play alright and that group as a whole might then be able to play decent music. But they aren't going to be as good as they would have been if they had pulled in a good trumpeter from the start and had the chance to work together starting from that high skill level.

>Yeah, so? Jaune still took the place of someone else who could have gotten it that year.

Okay, lemme try this again. Not trying to start an argument but I just wanna know how you're actually thinking of things.

Ozpin accepts a certain number of students every year based on what he sees as a potentially useful student. Is there a set limit to the amount he accepts every year? I would think he just accepts as many as he feels has potential and that's his limit. Like a sort of initial weeding process. There couldn't be that many that has potential applying every year that all his classroom gets filled to unworkable condition.

Then comes the initiation. He sets enough pieces for them all as a test. Anyone who gets a piece with a partner proceeds. Anyone that dies, they just aren't good enough. Any excess piece because some people failed? No skin off his nose. They wouldn't have lasted anyway. And I assume some die because there doesn't seem to be a failsafe mechanic in place to save them.

Perhaps. But let's just say that you're right. We can all agree Jaune shouldn't be there. In reality, he faked his way in. That's not new. But you're off on this strange tangent now. Let's just say that Jaune never applied. Instead, the first person Pyrrha made eye contact with was Cardin. Do you honestly think they'd be a better team just because of Cardin's higher combat ability? No. Because even if they could rely on him in battle more than Jaune at first, the overall dynamic of the group will be fucked. I higher combat ability does not a better team make. Bands break up all the time due to personal differences. Skill can be aquired. Especially if Pyrrha Nikos is your own private tutor. A team with good compatability that nearly instantly clicks? That's much harder to develop.
>>
>>80244437
>Ozpin lets in anyone that thinks they can do it, or reviews transcripts and sees if they can even apply, and the ones who actually get accepted are the ones who can get a relic.
Okay, I'm with you at this point. Ozpin just lets people he thinks can do it enter the school for the initiation.

Then comes the next step. How many were launched into the forest to get those chess pieces and were there enough chess pieces for everyone? I assumed there were.

I didn't get the impression that it was a race. Like there are a certain number of pieces but twice the number of participants/pairs so only half gets in. I always thought there was a piece for everyone. The challenge is actually surviving to get one with a partner. It really seemed like a test where some people do die so not all the pieces get taken.

Weakened? Not really. He's done more than Ren has.

Jaune was able to put Cardin in his place. Get Weiss to soften up. And gave Pyrrha some happiness.

No one else could've. That's who Pyrrha wanted and what Ozpin wanted.

Ozpin obviously has plans for Jaune. You can't even say "well Ozpin was an idiot." Well, that's Ozpin's fault, not Jaune's,

>>80244355
You acknowledge that a person could grow to be good but still say that having all experts at the start is better. There are other factors as to why some groups succeed or not though.

For example, you can gather a bunch of superstars in the NBA but when they all have the personality of cancerous shitheads, then that team's not gonna last.

Ozpin specifically wanted Jaune to be the leader of a group in where Pyrrha was in. The superstar and champion. Ozpin's obviously thinking of more than just starting ability when he did it. In a way he was right, he did manage to make her "happy" even for a little bit.

>>80244451
Wrong. The WoR on Huntsman says every huntsman is put in a team, and Ozpin says during initiation that a person and their PARTNER will retrieve the relic.
>>
>>80244436
But this isn't a fucking jazz group. This is a team of hunter students who are more or less still going to train. And having great chemistry at the start helps a lot in the growing process.

Hunters aren't always meant to be good at killing, just defending. Mission aren't always "defeat the Grimm."

Do you really think CLDR would be better at missions than JNPR? Especially the non violent ones?
>>
>>80244355
What if the person who was initially skilled has a lower skill cap than a rookie brought in to develop? Like say, someone who attended battle school and knows the basics so he's more skilled at the start but has low aura and low motivation VS someone who's said to have a lot of aura and motivated to become a hero (doubly more after the dead girlfriend routine)
>>
>>80244569
I don't hear numbers.

Of course a team is better. Wouldn't you prefer 5 gius with you killing Grimm?

Nor that this "put in a team" is specifically in Beacon.
>>
>>80244499
The guy who ran his team like anyone would have but completely lacked any combat ability and had to be trained to even get the basics weakened them.

>>80244501
Anyone could have put cardin in his place. Pyrrha put the entire CRDL team in their place alone. Jaune only put Cardin in his place because Pyrrha was there to prevent both of them being mauled to death by an Ursa.

Ruby, Port and Blake got Weiss to soften up.

I agree he made Pyrrha happy. He also threw her already confused emotions into further turmoil, which made her on edge and unfocused in her match against Penny, which is where everything went to shit. Fault doesn't change the situation. I absolutely agree Ozpin deserves some of the blame.

Except we've seen others teams fight. Cardin knocked out his own teammate. Most of the other teams have no semblance of teamwork. Just fighting in the same general area. RWBY and JNPR are the only ones shown to have actual teamwork aside from maybe CFVY

Here's the major thing, though. CRDN is an official team at Beacon. They all got through on their own merits. Yet, they're weaker than Jaune. None of them, despite going to school didn't to prepare for Beacon. Yet none of them could have done what he's done. Flail or not, he can fight. He survived. You keep talking about someone who's better than Jaune. But look at the obvious case of four people who had a higher combat ability than him in the beginning and were left behind. His growth is practically exponential. That's practically a whole talent on its own.

He's still a hindrance. They should have had a better trained member instead to have an even better team from the get-go. Who cares about other factors like how he gets along with others, how determined he is to grow or potential talent like the amount of aura he has. Not like there's a way to tell the amount of aura someone has right?

In the future, if he actually does become good enough and surpasses normal students so that him getting a slot turns out to be a good idea, it's still going to be dismissed as an asspull because he only did it because he's one of the MCs/Mile's self-insert. There is no way for the poor guy to be accepted.

you have to create a team based on your country, its culture and ideologies

What weapons do they use? How do they fight? How is their personality
>>
>>80244567
Let me put it to you this way.

When a country trains the soldiers of its military, they are taught how to fight, strategy, how to work together, and various other skills and knowledge. Each soldier is not trained to work with every other soldier.

If you take four soldiers (really, more like four special forces) who were trained at completely different military bases (or lets even say, four soldiers from completely different countries that all happen to speak English) and you put them in a four man unit.

And then you take three special forces soldiers from completely different English speaking countries, and pull some guy off the street who has fake papers saying he went through basic and brought his grandfather's m16 from vietnam (But really he knows absolutely nothing about being a soldier, or even how to shoot), and you make them a four man unit.

Which do you think is going to be the better unit? Which do you think is going to work together better? If you drop both into a combat situation four weeks later, which is more likely to complete their objectives and emerge victorious? Being super chummy and getting along is going to mean very little.

Two months later? Four?

Sure, 24-48 months down the line you might have moderately equal teams, but that doesn't change that you've shot yourself in the foot until then.

Especially when the kind of soldier you are recruiting are people who have years of highly specialized training and experience (like many other students seem to have).

Jaune Arc - Jaune is French for "yellow".
Nora Valkyrie - Nora is possibly named after the Nora Barlow columbine, a flower with a vibrant pink coloration.
Pyrrha Nikos - 'Pyrrha" is derived from the Greek adjective pyrrhos (πυρρός), which means "flame-colored". Monty has also stated that she was named for her hair.
Lie Ren - Ren is Japanese for "lotus", a plant which is known for its bright pink flowers and green leaves. Ren's outfit is patterned after this color scheme.

Not him but you and other people seemed to have gone away from the original point. The original point was that there are only a certain number of slots and that they're very "valuable" so Jaune stole one spot that could have gone to another.

There is nothing stopping Ozpin from accepting as many potential students as he can aside from physical limitations of the facilities and faculty. I bet the number of potential students that he's scouted are less than the amount they can accommodate so the limiting factor isn't the slots. It's the number of actually capable applicants that he'd allow in that limits it.

I never got the impression the chess pieces are a race. It didn't seem set-up like there are more participants than there are chess pieces so you gotta be fast since there are limited slots. It was more like survival. As long as you get one, you're really in. Ozpin already scouted everyone he wants to allow in. The chess pieces are there to develop them and their teamwork. If someone actually dies, then that means they weren't good enough but they signed up for this so he's not to blame.

Did you not watch RWBY v ABRN? BRNZ complete with sniper support and double teaming Pyrrha? NDGO and SSSN who both assisted team mates and worked together? FNKI, Coco and Yatsu... most of the teams in the tournament worked well together with needing to be told to retreat when there is a sniper (what amazing strategy!) Cardin did get in the way, but CRDL also worked quite well together, double and triple teaming Pyrrha, defending each other, creating openings. It isn't until the end that Cardin, standing up from being hit, hits a teammate in his rush to attack.
>>
>>80244779

I'm being sarcastic mate. Just illustrating that whatever arguments you come up with to justify Jaune's slot like how he gets along with people, talent, aura or something special Ozpin saw in him, it will always never be enough for those that hate him.

He can turn out to be the god emperor and he still won't justify that precious, precious slot that he stole. Or they'll do the reverse and argue that he only became strong due to an asspull and him being a special MC with plot armor (which will hilariously make Ozpin's decision to let him in be the right choice). It's always a lose-lose situation.

This is a faulty comparison. Largely because you're ignoring that A. Beacon is a continuation of an education not the final stage not at all comparable to that sort of training B. The emphasis you're putting on being taught ro fight alongside fellow soldiers is not applicable to anyone going to Beacon legitimately either seeing how everyone and their mother went through two semesters working through personal issues that divided them several times and C. The ability to work together is extraordinarily dependent on whether or not if friendship is not present than the capability to coexist and understand each other to a degree is.

You're putting so much emphasis on training whe completely ignoring the fact that aside from his early stumbles Jaune is exactly what is wanted typically in the governship of a small team.

Seeing bow Glynda emphasized how lucky they were, I'm guessing each was handpicked by Ozpin. So that's moot.

>Limited number of pieces
Uh, do we know how many were chosen or picked? Also, Pyrrha totally went after Jaune. Like, went out of her way to get the guy.

If it was some sort of race, then Pyrrha wouldn't be qualified for Beacon because she'd have always end up with Jaune which of course goes against Ozpin's plans, I think.

So yeah. Probably already reserved a spot for Jaine the moment he accepted the transcripts.

Okay so we disagree at this point then.

I believe Ozpin accepts as many people that has potential into his school to do the initiation. Limited slots aren't a problem at this point. The number of students that are actually capable is the limiting factor. All of them that apply and are good enough for Ozpin are allowed to do the initiation. He's already weeded out what he doesn't like at this point.

At the initiation itself, Ozpin has as many pieces to accommodate those potential pairs. The challenge isn't to be faster than others to get it, it's to actually succeed doing it. Limited slots also aren't a problem at this point either. This is why the whole argument about Jaune stealing a spot seems so bizarre to me. Ozpin can just have as many applicants and hope some of them actually are good enough to win him the war against Salem.
>>
>>80244804
>RWBY v ABRN
I saw that one. It turned into four one on one matches before RWBY's teamwork finished it off. You'll notice I listed them alongside JNPR

>Coco and Yatsu
Struggling to not hit each other while being played like a damn fiddle does not count as teamwork.

>SSSN
Where did you see teamwork from them at all? Their opponents? Sure. I'll give it that. But team SSSN was just embarrassing.

>FNKI
While divide and conquer is a legitimate strategy, I'm not seeing a very strong argument here

>double and triple teaming Pyrrha
Hardly counts when there's only one target to attack. Funny though, Cardin, someone who went to school specifically to become a hunter, got in his teams way and knocked one of them out. Meanwhile, Jaune has helped his team out. Though the strategies may be simple, he has yet to actually impede his team. Please, give me an example if he has. I would love to see something specific rather than the 'obviously he would' argument you've been throwing around.

This.

He wants soldiers. He has people he wants to be soldiers. He's oassed some of them but he needs to make sure they can work as a team.

There really is no reason he would turn down any potential soldiers as long as they reach his standard.
>>
>>80244936
I've always seen it as he reviews tons of applications and decides which are good enough to even take on the mission of retrieving the relics. After he's done that, they go through another filter to get the best of the best, which is actually getting to the chess pieces.

Speed can be a factor in a good soldier. You don't want to accept some kid that spent days in the forest looking for the temple.

>>80244844
Because the ability of teams to get along is not what matters.

Look at Glynda, Ironwood and Qrow. Qrow and Ironwood do not get along, that doesn't make them not highly effective together.

Which do you think would be a better team after 6 months of working together, Qrow and Winter or Qrow and Jaune? The skill of the individuals is of much higher importance in a situation like this, because when put in a combat situation against actual, life-threatening enemies, it is really easy to put aside stupid disagreements. The regular students of Beacon have all either attended combat school and had individual training from a young age (Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha, etc) or have personal training are very experienced at fighting (Blake). I don't see how that is a false comparison. The ability of most of the students with their weapons, aura and semblances is something easily on the level of non-standard armed forces training. They may not be done training, but they are already highly effective, specialized soldiers.

Two people who are best friends but one of them has no, or very little idea what they are doing in a dangerous combat situation are not going to be working together as well as two people who greatly dislike each other but are both highly trained. Just look at the show. It took Ruby and Weiss all of a couple hours to put aside their differences and prioritize doing what needed to be done (even though Weiss still greatly looked down on Ruby) Pyrrha and Jaune got along great, but it took two volumes for him to be able to kill a Grimm on his own, and thus actually be part of a team in combat rather than just being someone who needs to be protected.

Then he can be a grunt, one of the poor saps that buy time for more important players. Everyone has a role, even the slow dumbasses. If someone's dumb enough to sign into a life and death profession, then he better be ready. The only thing limiting Ozpin is good conscience so he actually weeds out those completely incapable of defending themselves. Aside from Jaune anyway because Ozpin seems to have plans. You don't reiterate that you're making him a leader unless you really planned him to get that spot.

Nigga did you even see what their 'teamwork' did? They allowed Cinder info their city. They gave her a bigger robot army, they gave her control of the skies in a crucial moment. Unless you're talking about actual fights. In which case, please go watch the scene again. They are not working as a team. They are individually killing Grimm. There's a huge difference.

As for your 'who would be the better team' comparison, it's retarded. We're taking college ball here. Someone who didn't play in high school can join a college team of he works hard enough. But you're saying he's shit because he can't jump right into the NBA? What are you doing? Okay. Try this. Whenever you're going to give a hypothetical, slave Jaune with Cardin. If the argument falls apart, you're being stupid.

I agree with you then. He has filters in place. Limited slots aren't a factor, it's the amount of people good enough that limits him and can get through those filters. Which is why Jaune stealing a spot seems stupid especially after Ozpin made him a leader. He didn't steal a spot, Ozpin had as many as he needs.

Tell me. Which team lasted longer and which team fell apart at the seams?
>>
>>80245089
Yes, but here's the thing.

One presumes that, rather than simply run away perpetually, Blake does intend to confront her past with Adam and the White Fang eventually. During the flashback to Cinder coercing Adam into joining her, Adam mentions to his lieutenant that they'll be "Heading back to Mistral". Mistral is the location of Haven, where RNJR is currently en-route to. Thus my belief that Blake may be the first to rejoin the group, as RNJR finds themselves running into the White Fang in the course of their investigations.

That's just my theory anyway.

>>80245002
>Which do you think would be a better team after 6 months of working together, Qrow and Winter or Qrow and Jaune?
Qrow and Jaune.

In the span of two semesters Jaune went from scrub lord to first year quality student albeit on the lower end of the spectrum. He managed this while being taught by a fellow school mate who presumably also had several classes to worry about at the same time.

Qrow is a teacher. He's a cunt but he apparently turned Ruby into the killer she is.

After six months togethe, Qrow and Winter are still going to be at each others throats. They'll work together when nessaccary but at the end they'll still be two individuals who are just fighting in proximity to each other.

Indivudal actions that just happen to be in proximity to each other is not teamwork.

Jaune however after overcoming his emotional hurdles has been shown to be perfectly willing to learn at the feet of someone else.

You keep saying better team this and better team that while not even remotely getting the definition right.

A team works together. They don't just fly under a banner and go off to do their own thing.

Teamwork doesn't mean you have to ride around on your ally's shoulders and fight. Each watching an angle and handling yourself is teamwork, which exactly why someone like Jaune is a problem, because they aren't good enough to be trusted with watching their allies back's. Ironwood saves Cardin, and Qrow saves Ironwood, because they are both highly skilled in combat, not because they lock arms when fighting and get along very well.


>But you're saying he's shit because he can't jump right into the NBA? What are you doing?

RWBY.

Not him but are you the guy who suggested that a team of already trained fighters getting together is always better than someone growing and pulling his weight? Why are we even disregarding the potential growth of someone and keep focusing on their initial strength as if that's the only thing that matters? Because it really seems like you are.

In the future, if Jaune does grow and becomes better than the regular students for example like the members of CRDL, wouldn't that prove that he's earned the spot? Not even counting that spots aren't limited which has already been discussed above. I mean he's already reached the basic level in 2 semesters and can kill an ursa by himself now. The first one could be luck but the 2nd one isn't0. He's also more motivated now too. Why the insistence on the starting point when he was untrained rather than being open to the future like what Ozpin's most likely doing? You seem so focused on it.

>Teamwork doesn't mean you have to ride around on your ally's shoulders and fight. Each watching an angle and handling yourself is teamwork, which exactly why someone like Jaune is a problem, because they aren't good enough to be trusted with watching their allies back's.
Why are you focusing so much on combat?

The lack of unity between Ironwood Ozpin and Qrow allowed Cinder to get in. Their first scene all together was all of them squabbling about how the lack of communication hindered their efforts.

Their actions when demons are running at them don't mean shit in comparison to that.

Also
>the group where Yang interrupted Adam to save Blake
And lost her arm because she ignored Blake trying to warn her about Adam
>Blake saved Yang and got them both to safety.
Because Adam decided not to chase and cut down two badly wounded and limping slowly figures

So throwing someone up a tower requires better team work than coordinating a group in a team fight?

>In the future, if Jaune does grow and becomes better than the regular students for example like the members of CRDL, wouldn't that prove that he's earned the spot?

Yes. But that is the point.
He hasn't earned his spot and won't for the potentially years it takes him to catch up.

Until that point he is a detriment who took up a spot someone better could have filled.

Eventually, Weiss will be able to fully summon, that doesn't change the fact that right now, if you needed a summoner, picking Weiss over Winter would be dumb. And Weiss is a hell of a lot closer to summoning than Jaune is to average Beacon student level.

>Until that point he is a detriment who took up a spot someone better could have filled.
Okay. Let's work with this then.

I want to know why you're so insistent on the starting point instead of the end goal. It's a long game. Ozpin wants the win in the end. Everything should be goal oriented.

If Jaune does become better than those other students and becomes more influential piece for Ozpin than say Cardin, then doesn't that benefit Ozpin way more than having an already trained fighter at the start like Cardin? I really don't see the insistence on their starting strength as if it's that important compared to the end goal.

Not to mention, do you really believe there are a limited number of slots? Rather than Ozpin having a limited selection of capable and willing applicants? Like there's a truck load of students knocking at the door but he only has 20 slots for some reason? That Jaune stole a spot by fooling Ozpin and Ozpin doesn't realize that Jaune was faking his transcripts rather than Ozpin knowing about it?

It's clearly stated that the students coming to beacon are a chosen few given the honor of attending. He is not struggling to get students.

>>80245346
>Why are you focusing so much on combat?
Because we are talking about a war, specifically, the front lines of a war, not the brass.

Lack of Unity did nothing. Qrow told Ozpin immediately that Salem had pawns, Cinder infiltrated the school literally days aftewards disguised as a Vytal festival student. Them being extremely friendly and sharing information quickly would not have made things seriously difficult for Cinder's group (who Qrow hadn't even seen the faces off).

I agree, Yang was dumb, and she was punished for doing something dumb, but she still ended up distracting Adam and they ended up getting away.

Fighting Grimm together and using each other's abilities to get to where they need to go is a lot better team work than sending your teammate away because you care about them but they are shit at fighting and would only get in the way.

Tell me, replace him with Ren and how does that change? He didn't miss the arrow because he was weak. He missed it because Pyrrha was screaming and he looked at her in worry. Like a human being.
>Has to be saved from falling to his death at the start of Emerald Forest, depriving Pyrrha of a weapon in Grimm infested territory
Gonna get you with a technicality here. They weren't a team yet. She sought him out. She willingly threw her weapon away and chose him. For all she knew he had a landing strategy. She wanted to help out. She had her shield, and she looks completely unphased when she finds him. She was fine. And that decision was all on her.

>Leads Pyrrha into a cave with a deathstalker
That's less 'unskilled combatant' and more 'fucking retard. " but considering Ruby led Yang onto a giant nevermore, that's not a problem exclusive to non trained hunters

>zero help against deathstalker leaving her to flee form it alone
To be fair, it took an entire team to take it down. Had her partner been Weiss, for instance, they still would have run. Instead, the thing sent him flying. That did not make Pyrrha slower. Had he stayed, they would have just run together. Not seeing a hindrance here.

>has to be helped across the bridge jump by Nora
I like using Ren as an example. Because Cardin is too easy sometimes. Would things have changed if it was Ten in the other side of the bridge rather than Jaune? No. Nora sent Jaune flying. While they were both out of danger. On the other side of the bridge .away from the giant scary deathstalker. Not really seeing how he got in the way here.

You see, even if we assume this, it only works if Ozpin was somehow fooled by Jaune's transcripts and abilities so he chose Jaune over some more capable student for that spot and allowed him into the school to take the initiation. Are we really saying that Jaune was so good at faking things that he fooled Ozpin and stole a precious spot? Jaune even doubted Ozpin making him the leader after what he saw in the forest and Ozpin looked at him and repeated it.

Do people seriously believe that Ozpin was fooled by those fake transcripts? The man who was most likely waging an eternal war against Salem.fooled by a teenager's forgery?

The whole reason Ruby was admitted early was because of those Silver eyes of hers and made her the leader of her team. Jaune is also special in someway that will most likely be revealed in the future. I mean he made Jaune the leader when his partner was the next in line to becoming the fall maiden.

That still doesn't imply there are limited slots. If there are limited slots, it's because of Ozpin's decision. Ozpin chooses willing and capable applicants to his standards and that's why they're called chosen few. Ozpin weeds out people that aren't up to his standards and doesn't even give them the chance to do the forest test. I really doubt Ozpin has a set number of students he accepts per year and turns away potentially good students.

Repeating this >>80245453

>takes up Pyrrha's time teaching him the basics of fighting
Really? You're going with this? She volunteered herself to help train one if her teammates so be could get better. Yes, he started off lower than the others. I'll give hi that. But his exponential growth (something bit everyone has, before you start bringing up how someone else could have done better) more than males up for it. Better base stats can't compete with exponential growth.

>is the one resonpsible for the ursa so determinedly attacking Cardin in the first place
Because Jaune was totally the one who thought up the prank tried to get a classmate attacked and let's not forget reached out and placed the Ursa there in the first place

>has to be saved from dying to the Ursa by Prrha
She raises his shield. Which, considering his powerful we've seen she was, as absolutely nothing for her. Besides, it was not a team battle. She was in relative safety. It was his fight to win or lose. She stepped in if her own accord.

>throws one watermelon in the food fight, and then his only other apperence is getting hit by Yang's turkeys and distracting Pyrrha who is being attacked by Blake
This one I'm actually give you. He didn't do much there at all. Though considering how it ended, it's kind of a weak point.

>distracts Pyrrha again during Breach, because she's busy watching over him instead of continuing to kill the Grimm
He did not scream and shout for her attention. She watched him kill a single Ursa and then returned to the battle.

I'm not sure you know what hindrance means. He's not the ideal partner in the beginning, but the investment has a higher return than the standard one.

I'll admit, I'm tired. These argument are not the best. But you're really focused on Jaune despite the fact that he's achieved in less than a year what many of them have been training their whole lives for. He deserves the spot. Ozpin saw it and gave him a team to lead. Why is that so hard for you to get?

Catch up to whom?
Weiss the heiress of one of the biggest dust corporations on the planet who if her trailer is anything to go by was put through hellish trainin? Pyrrha the champion, whose training was so life consuming and all being that she moved to a different country to look for a friend? Ruby the prodigy who was trained by Qrow who is skilled enough and bad enough to be involved with Ozpin.

The fact that he's on a team with and friends with literally the best of the generation makes this an easy fact to overlook but in the span of two semesters he is as good as, or can stand with people who went through four years of combat school.

Don't compare him to Weiss or Pyrrha, or Ruby. Compare him to CRDL or BRNZ. He outstripped CRDL laughably fast and during the fight with BRNZ held his own.

In six fucking months while being trained by a girl who just wanted to grope him.

>Fighting Grimm together and using each other's abilities to get to where they need to go is a lot better team work than sending your teammate away because you care about them but they are shit at fighting and would only get in the way
Pyrrha was fucking slaughtered by Cinder. That first half was Cinder playing. The second Cinder started using her actually using her powers she massacred Pyrrha.
>>
>>80245441
Since Ren was able to sense a giant snake coming for him and turn around, I feel fairly confident he would be much more likely to notice Cinder entering the room and shooting, even if he did turn around towards Pyrrha.

>Had her partner been Weiss, for instance, they still would have run.
Had her partner been Weiss, Weiss could have used her magic to distract or immobilize the Deathstalker, allowing them both to get away, rather than Pyrrha having to dodge around with it right on her heels and ultimately accidentally lead it to everyone else.

>Not really seeing how he got in the way here.
He wasted Nora's time, and Nora, rather than just jumping destroyed a larger part of the bridge, further isolating the two teams.
He also just falls onto the deathstalker side, where someone more competent could have gone from the jump into an attack, giving everyone else more time.

Really, everyone on the deathstallker side could have just jumped over to the nevermore side and then they wouldn't have had to even fight the deathstalker and would be fighting the nevermore 8v1. But because Jaune needed help, they instead fought 4v1 with no ability to help the opposite teams.

Absloutely. But that doesn't change that Pyrrha sent Jaune away. If it had been Ruby going to fight Cinder, do you think Weiss would have been sent away? Or let herself be sent away? Emerald isn't an insanely amazing fighter, but she sure as well helped against Amber by being there and competent at fighting and using her semblance.

No man, don't you see? Jaune fooled Ozpin into giving him a slot that should have been given to someone who actually attended combat school. Because that's what Ozpin should be looking for in his COSMOLOGICAL DEATH CHESS, someone who attended combat school and is trained from the start rather than a potentially special piece.

Choosing another person like Dove is obviously the smartest choice in his eternal war against Salem but Jaune tricked him despite his potentially thousand years of experience so we're missing another guy like Dove.

I don't think Ozpin is fooled by those transcripts. Bur, frankly, I'm getting annoyed by the "keikaku" argument.

Ruby is a bad argument here to be honest. Ruby is undauntedly a prodigy. She's not stronger than her teammates and NPR (who is implied to be the cream of the crop of their generation) but she's also not weaker. And just by that, she self-validates Ozpin's choice when you consider that Ruby is supposed to be a tier below the rest. She's frankly the Pyrrha of her generation (the one who are still training in Signal and other academies).

>>80245687
>I don't think Ozpin is fooled by those transcripts. Bur, frankly, I'm getting annoyed by the "keikaku" argument.
So you don't like Ozpin's plans and that's why you're saying he made a bad move by allowing Jaune in because of how you perceive he should fight his war against Salem? That it would be better to have a fighter who went to combat school like one of the members of CRDL over Jaune? Jaune, who he chose as a leader over a guardian candidate?

I can see how it isn't suitable to how you perceive things that but that doesn't really relate to the story anymore. Which makes this whole argument about Jaune stealing a spot pointless.
>>
>>80245687
The whole Keikaku would have been invalid had Qrow not brought up the first thing Ozpin told Ruby when they met. That in itself implies that Ozpin has a big picture plan.

And this still means that Ren or Cardin would have heard her because one of them was able to hear a giant ass snake in the woods? Let's not forget that Ozpin was also right there, expecting an attack. Was he more distracted than Jaune? Possibly. But he was also one of the hunters you seem to think are infallible.

Also can't ignore your other argument.

Sure, Ozpin seemed genuinely surprised to see Penny was artificial. He's not some omnipotent god.

But to begin with you're assuming he reads through every single application. It's been very clear from Chapter 1 that Ozpin is interested in things Ozpin is interested in, and blows off everything else. He met Ruby personally because she attracted his attention and he has connections to her family. It would be foolish to assume he extends this same level of interest to every student. Hell, he completely ignores Pyrrha and Jaune in the Emerald Forest, and is instead entirely focused on Ruby and Weiss.

Honestly, the whole premise of Ozpin being able to see through everything is pretty ridiculous.

>>80245769
Technically, he didn't ignore Pyrrha. Watch it and you can see him look at Glynda and make a "Hmm" sound when Pyrrha gets mentioned.

We will never come to an agreement then because you will never convince me that Jaune somehow fooled Ozpin into giving him a slot over a better trained fighter. And I probably won't be able to convince you. And thanks for the answer since it made us find our irreconcilable difference so there's no longer any point to continue.

I merely stated that I hate the everything is going to plan argument. Why can't Ruby and Jaune just get in Beacon by their own merits?

Ruby's selection is self-evident. And while Jaune is a bit subpar. He did shape up to be a little below normal. (No NPR and RWBY are not normal). Seriously, have we forgotten that Jaune almost died at the initiation? If Jaune didn't got lucky or shape up, I imagine that there will be no Jaune to be had.

What Ozpin was gave Jaune a chance. We don't have to do keikaku arguments.

>>80245798
But Ozpin literally saw what Jaune did in the forest and still insisted he be the leader when Jaune doubted that decision.

Ozpin probably did realise the transcript was faked, but he could also have considered the possibility that Jaune was just extremely unconfident but still had the talent and potential (which strictly speaking isn't entirely wrong).
It's also possible that he never saw the transcript, I doubt a headmaster of one of the most prestigious academies in the world has the time to check each qualification of every student in their school. I mean with Beacon's intake, I suppose it's possible, but still.

But you know what? Jaune's still the better hunter for one reason.

Instead of this hypothetical better hunter, he's the one who currently holds the spot of leader in JNPR

He's the one chosen by fate, by the gods, by Monty.

And that's why he's better.

Training? Being a champion? Pyrrha with her training died.

Bloodline? Being a prodigy? Ruby with her protag powers fucked up a lot and abrely has a team.

Sometimes, you have to realize that what makes the better person isn't his stats. It's his relationship with lady luck.

Fact is the lady chose Jaune. And you have to respect a lady's wishes.

Its a bit murky with Ruby.

Sometimes, I wonder, if Ozpin really knew that Ruby has silver eyes since that was the first thing he said while examining her. But, most probably yes, Ozpin does. Unless, Qrow is overprotective of his niece....

.... which could be the case, actually, the reason why Qrow knew about Ozpin and Ruby conversation is because they discussed it, in the, "you've been keeping secrets from me" way.

The conspiracy appear to keep secrets from each other *cough* Ironwood* cough.

And why were they observing Ruby/Weiss and Jaune/Pyrrha anyway.

They were observing everyone, Nora and Ren were also being watched but he had no reaction towards them.

Sorry. 4chan ate this post.
>>80245829
Jaune and by extension Ruby is not made leader because of some vaunted unknown power at that time. If that's the case in JNPR, Pyrrha would still be the leader because she's slotted to be the next fall maiden.

They are made leader because they showed basic leadership skills.

Jaune was chosen cause of luck. The one he "stole" the spot from fucked up his roll.

And that makes all the difference.
>>
>>80245741
I don't particularly care about the merit of Ozpin's plan, I was just pointing out that Jaune is pretty shit and someone less shit would have been better in the grand scheme.

Like >>80245816 (Not that they share any other opinions with me) I really don't think there was any plan of Ozpin's involving Jaune. Ozpin's flaw is that he trusts in human potential and hope too much. Look at Ironwood, who Ozpin trusted with brotherhood's information, and who ultimately played right into Cinder's hands by feeding her more and more ammunition to use against Atlas and Vale, because he was cocky about his own strength and Atlas' technology and didn't trust Ozpin in return.

I doubt Ozpin hand checks each application the school gets. That is a administrative staff thing (read: Glynda) not a Headmaster thing. And even if he did, what reason would he have to double check one of unnumbered nice looking applications? Obviously Ozpin realized after the fact that Jaune is terrible, but he gives him the chance, because again... he believes in people's potential. But that belief hasn't exactly worked out for him so far.

Jaune got the last copy of the game everyone lines up on. It's not like he did anything special for it or was better than you. It's just coincidence.

But in the end, he has the damn game.

This is of course assuming the retarded "limited slots" idea.

>Also re watching volume one is painful
This. Maybe it's because I've only recently watched the Japanese dub, but going back to regular Vol 1 is brutal. The voice acting and dialogue is atrocious. I guess you've got to give props to RT because Vol 2 and 3 are a massive improvement in that respect, even if they're still not amazing.

>>
>>80246010
For someone who don't share much opinion with me, we pretty much agree with Ozpin. He's the type to believe in human potential and hope. His narration even says it.

As for Jaune, I agree with that he's terrible at the beginning and survived on luck . He got partnered with the strongest of his generation and got one of the most problem free team (comparatively with the other team we see which is RWBY, one of the most explosive mixture if there is one)

>Obviously Ozpin realized after the fact that Jaune is terrible, but he gives him the chance, because again... he believes in people's potential.

Also because no one else on JNPR has any ability to lead whatsoever if Jaune gets the boot. Not that Jaune is particularly great at it, but he's not violently insane, a doormat, or ridiculously quiet.
>>
>>80246203
The PTS or no life?

>>80246208
Sure she can move super fast, but not fast enough/concentration/stamina to scale the building on her own. That's why she needed the aid of Weiss in doing that, just like when they went off and decapitated my dick.

>Not that Jaune is particularly great at it,
He's D&D capable.

Everything about Jaune comes down to luck.

Jaune's probably the only one all three would listen to.

Pyrrha's got his dick and shoulder.
Ren would probably listen to anyone but I think that bro scene really touched him.
Nora is Nora.

I think it was the dancing. You can't say you're a bad leader if you got all three of those guys to do a groovy fourway.

Volume 3 Chapter 2 indicates otherwise.

>>80245537
>The fact that he's on a team with and friends with literally the best of the generation makes this an easy fact to overlook but in the span of two semesters he is as good as, or can stand with people who went through four years of combat school.
I shudder to think what he'd be given to a proper instructor.
>>
>>80246329
Like listen listen.

They all trust him. It's be hard to get Pyrrha's trust much less affections. Ren would be tough if you aren't prepared to go topless with him. Nora's Nora.

Pyrrha being pretty handsy helps.

Or we could always go back to the "Jaune has sealed memories theory."

>>80246363
Ohhhhh. Fair enough.

>>80246329
From what I watched the tier of leadership skill and potential goes this way.

Ruby > Coco> Jaune > whoever the leader of Indigo is > ABRN liongirl> Sun > Cardin

Thank god.

>>80246363
Fuck my phone.
Disagree on the Pyrrha point anon, he got her trust by not knowing who she was at first.
Everything else followed.
>>
>>80246384
I think Coco should be higher than Ruby who should be equal to Jaune.

I'm not letting go of the dancing scene. He got Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora to do a very well done dance number. I can not imagine Ruby doing the same.
>>
>>80246329
Weiss said organised the ice slide that knocked out ABN, that doesn't make her the leader

NDGO's leader is Nebula.
>>
>>80246411
Again, Jaune is lucky. Who else would be able to?
>>
>>80246412
I have yet to see Coco giving any complex strategy or tactic in the group fight or in the partner fight they are in. I would actually put Jaune higher than Coco but the debacle in JNPR group fight makes me unable to.

Ruby is probably the best squad leader with the best on-screen leadership feats.
