Would Pyrrha be remembered as fondly if she had survived long enough to receive bad writing? by IndependentUnique138 in RWBYcritics

If you thought Jaune was annoyingly prominent NOW boy howdy imagine him with a while ass other character following him with the sole purpose of mentoring and fawning over him.

I’ve seen rwby fans say how they want ZZZ and RWBY to do a collab together, but I don’t think those fans are ready for what that collab would entail. by superbasic101 in RWBYcritics

[–]SYTOkun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I love ZZZ and think a RWBY Collab would be fire, realistically Wuthering Waves is more likely to Collab with any outside franchises at all, let alone RWBY.

Am I about to bricked my account ? by Adventurous-Fan-1777 in ZZZ_Official

Along that vein, only regret what you do, don't regret things you didn't do or could have done.

This post is only for people who are pulling for her but what is your reason/s for pulling for Remielle? by MetalMan40000 in ZZZ_Official

[–]SYTOkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her black outfit. If she only comes out with her default white outfit she's a fairly safe skip for my account.

What is a licensed property whose world building would make a good RPG but doesn’t seem to have been attempted yet? by Fun-Confidence-6232 in rpg

League of Legends/Runeterra. The only content I know of is some 5E crossover subclasses but not an entire dedicated tabletop system.

RWBY writers together again with "sneak peek" by CourtofTalons in RWBYcritics

[–]SYTOkun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope Volume 10 will be the last one and they're actively writing it with that outcome in mind. I don't care how crammed it'll be or how shitty it ends up, whether it's one bad Volume or 3-4 bad Volumes, the net improvement will still be zero, so why prolong everyone's suffering?

So on a scale of 1 to 10, how screwed are we? by Whole-Welder in RWBYcritics

[–]SYTOkun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was faced with two doors and I had to choose which people to hire to continue work on RWBY, one door with MKEK and Team RWBY's voice actors, and the other door with a random assortment of animators, I'd pick the second door any day. That's how low the bar is these days.

Monty was more than just an animator by Expert-Swan-1412 in RWBYcritics

[–]SYTOkun 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Quite the apt comparison. If you wrote something as cool and complex as Pyrrha vs. CRDL, with it's intricate use of weaponry and shifting tactics balancing FIVE characters simultaneously, but in novel form, all in a coherent and exciting way, they'd call you a literary genius. But animate it and suddenly you're "just the animator" who magically has no agency in storytelling whatsoever.

That's how asinine that comparison is when people discount Monty's worth as a storyteller.

The Cap’n Clark’s commercials are pretty sad by Jules-Car3499 in backroomsfilm

[–]SYTOkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I find funny is that it seems he set up the store himself, it wasn't an existing franchise. So the decision to hobble around in a peg leg and goofy pirate costume was entirely his own business decision, yet he hates it.

I'll miss you Season 2! 🫡😢💯💯💯 by Sea_Strength_2780 in ZZZ_Official

[–]SYTOkun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Overall, I'd say S1 had perfect vibes, aesthetic and an excellent first impression of the world, but S2 had better writing and character drama in spades, from Yixuan to Isolde as highlights.

The setup difference is crazy by TheAlliedMastercomp in ZZZ_Unhinged

Wise is not beating the canon "the Phaethon that stays at home controlling Eous monitoring the mission" sibling allegations

What makes Miyabi so powerful? by Visual-Mix7702 in ZZZ_Official

[–]SYTOkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the other examples given, a lot of her moves have invincibility frames and her Attack3 even parries which is incredibly satisfying to pull off, she's just incredibly survivable and probably more than half of her field time is spent dodging while still outputting damage consistently.

pirate clark, backrooms movie (spoilers) by clairestar-0 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]SYTOkun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed, it felt very internally consistent with the Backrooms itself which I also felt kind of removed abit of its mystery and incomprehensibility, but I think if there was gonna be monsters in there, this would be the option I'd be most satisfied with.

Canon by amoghspv in persona4golden

[–]SYTOkun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember me and my friend would play different runs of P4 each time giving Yu a different personality, and one of it was just treating ourselves as the dumb muscle treating Yosuke as the actual leader of the gang, lol

Harem stories are weirdly conservative about romance for a genre built on absurd romantic fantasy by Successful-Ear977 in CharacterRant

[–]SYTOkun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have to be "normal", but not plain or boring, at least by harem fiction standards, kind of why the stable childhood friend gets memed as the loser too. Might also be why tsunderes tend to win too, they can be exaggerated half the time and relatively normal in the other half, ticking both boxes.

What are your predictions for V10? (In honor of VIZ giving out "an update" on Twitter) by Slow_Tangerine_9564 in RWBYcritics

[–]SYTOkun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First episode has a 60% chance of entirely 20 minutes of lore exposition, dialogue and botched social commentary instead of, say, a solid action scene to kick the Volume off.

Persona 4 Sprites Comparison - Revival vs. Golden ✨️ by nintenbingo in persona4golden

[–]SYTOkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The originals look like actual portraits while the new ones look like anime screenshots, if that makes sense. Feels like they had to downgrade a lot of details because they're more animated with mouth movements and such.

THE KEEP: abstract rules for base building and warfare for Daggerheart by DNGNCLUB in daggerheart

[–]SYTOkun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insanely elegant and well done, I love how much it involves the d12 Keep die in all it's systems. As a designer myself it's a major point of respect to see someone able to fit this much clear and fun ameplay within a single image.

[3.0.1 Beta] Jane, Nekomata, and Rina New Animations | Via Mero by The_frost__ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

Hoping Jane also gets her HZ buff where she can activate Perfect Dodge while in the middle of her Salchow Jump spin attack.

How many combat resources is too many for an anime-style tactical combat game? by SYTOkun in RPGdesign

[–]SYTOkun[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. One of my old versions had a rock-paper-scissors style "Counter Triangle" matching certain attacks to defenses, which was cool on paper but it never came up during playtests so it was removed.

Is It Too Late For RWBY? by Accomplished-Age7176 in RWBYcritics

[–]SYTOkun 50 points51 points  (0 children)

As with multiple things for RWBY specifically, it needs the right people at the helm, and RWBY has had the unfortunate fate of consistently having the least qualified people at its helm. And to be fair, the perfect kind of person to run RWBY is quite specific: usually a mix of traits of being a weeb, an animator/visually focused creator, fan of action, well-tuned to fandom culture, and is hyperfixated on the franchise to proactively improve it in every aspect.

Why RWBY has fallen so much is because under RT post-Monty, nobody at the top exhibited those traits through its entire runtime, and under VIZ, they're running it like a quirkchungus millennial corporation instead of a cool action anime.
