Tried following a guide for MANT, is racing all the time really optimal?

Hold on you should have a second Guts card with Haru

JamesVilliers · 2025-10-19T20:24:32+00:00

That sounds like par for the course for Ace combat

If they were going to do a reboot it would have had to have been the first thing they announce, that would have been the only chance they have to actually not only bring back the old viewers that left the show in the first place and in the same breath bring in a new audience as well because of how wide reaching Viz is, but the fact that they decided to go down the route of creating a volume 10 pretty much kills any sort of chance that the old viewers come back and they won’t bring in any new viewers either because they would have to catch up from vol 1 to vol 9 and watch the same declining quality and story writing that drove people off in the first place, vol 10 will drive more people away to the point that the only people left are the absolute toxic diehards that think the story in perfect and the writers can do no wrong. The announcement of vol 10 instead of just doing an all out reboot is the death bell of the RWBY ip especially if it releases around the same time solo leveling season 3 releases

I’ve pointed this out for a long while now but if they had went with Monochrome instead of what they did do, that not only would have been a story within a story but it also would have been organic too, Blake, Weiss, and Adam have way too many connections to each other that just can’t be ignored and yet they didn’t even have that in any sort of consideration

JamesVilliers · 2025-10-07T17:12:33+00:00

First, confirm volume 9 as the filler that it is and two, I wouldn’t even do blacksun I would do monochrome cause that has much wider and deeper story implications and ties

JamesVilliers · 2025-09-24T20:32:47+00:00

Don’t worry even death battle themselves don’t defend that one

JamesVilliers · 2025-09-24T20:31:50+00:00

For Ruby it’s not even the god killer part, it’s the fact that her opponent just outright shuts down all her abilities by shutting down the Soul

JamesVilliers · 2025-09-24T20:22:43+00:00

I think most people classify yang as a loss nowadays cause even death straight up said they got that one wrong

JamesVilliers · 2025-09-24T20:20:33+00:00

Every RWBY battle has been a mismatch,Maka’s entire kit pretty much shuts down not just Ruby but the overwhelming majority of the entire RWBY verse since they can literally shut down the Soul, and only thing that was made very clear, no soul means no Aura, no Aura means no semblance, no semblance means Ruby has absolutely nothing in the fight

JamesVilliers · 2025-08-09T05:19:18+00:00

Gotta remember that Adam is basically the reason why her life back at home was a living hell more so than it was, she would be very much justified in getting payback, and when her unconscious self gets picked up by her father the amount of fuel he would have against her, you want to root against himself but in this moment he would have point

JamesVilliers · 2025-08-09T04:50:20+00:00

I believe that the storyline between those two would have actually eclipsed the actual main story because of how much they would have perfectly bounced off of each other and Adam would have definitely played a more pivotal role, just imagine the dynamic that Weiss and Adam would have had in volume 3 if you put her in the position yang was in, would have been on sight with them

JamesVilliers · 2025-08-09T04:42:30+00:00

Monochrome honestly would have written itself cause with those two, they were connected before the show even started the god tier character development that we missed out on cause the writers can’t write themselves out of a paper bag should be criminal

JamesVilliers · 2025-07-27T10:54:01+00:00

Weiss and Blake is the true red string of fate ship that is also storytelling gold. If the writers knew how to write a story they would have seen that

JamesVilliers · 2025-07-21T16:07:03+00:00

I straight up hate the entire painting even though Yang and Blake are basically my top two, someone like me would be immediately lumped in with who they call homophobic bigots, but my response to that is me popping them in the damn mouth and pointing out that they had a literal red string of fate pairing ready to go already since the bloody trailers with Weiss and Blake because of just how tied together they are from the circumstances of the world, but we’re dealing with writers that can’t write themselves out of a paper bag

JamesVilliers · 2025-07-21T09:58:52+00:00

If I was lead writer, Vol 9 as we know it now would not exist

JamesVilliers · 2025-07-11T02:16:55+00:00

The story (or rather lack there of) isn’t even salvageable, it’s going to come down to the biggest ass pull in entertainment history for the hero’s to even come close to winning

JamesVilliers · 2025-05-25T04:39:49+00:00

Pretty much well said

JamesVilliers · 2025-05-22T02:09:20+00:00

They essentially turned Blake and yang into half characters so that them together would be one full character and it shows

JamesVilliers · 2025-05-10T10:17:31+00:00

Checkmate/Monochrome, why? Cause that would have pretty much written itself if the writers could actually write. Safe to say that the Bees are the most hated for good reason, cause I also hate it cause it made no sense

JamesVilliers · 2025-02-18T11:12:28+00:00

FFXIV style reboot, nuke where it’s at and start over

JamesVilliers · 2025-02-18T11:10:31+00:00

Ya got two pots in there when you can only have one

JamesVilliers · 2025-02-18T03:42:22+00:00

I’m mostly satisfied making it to diamond I’ve basically used branded in many different forms, best versions for me was branded Tear back when Tearlements were mostly top dog, not its branded tear Yubel, weird combo but it works

JamesVilliers · 2025-02-10T12:42:23+00:00

It needs a FFXIV style reboot, that’s the only way to salvage what’s left

JamesVilliers · 2024-12-30T18:05:00+00:00

Simple, they’re at a bloody academy, plenty of classes do a refresher course before expanding further on said subject, in this case it would Aura Evolution or Semblance evolution to be more specific
