[@nimero6496]

In season 1 they explained this. Your aura is a natural shield that protects you from taking fatal blows. Once it runs out then you can actually take real damage. I like the way they gave an actual explanation for it because in most games and anime’s it never get explained.

[@petelee2477]

@@nimero6496 well in games it wouldn't be fun to die after a single hit(though being caught in an 87 hit combo before dying to a supermove isn't much better but at least it's entertaining to watch)

[@AlwaysANemesis]

@@alexsolosm As Nimero explained, RWBY has a thing called 'Aura' which is a somewhat-supernatural defense that can protect someone from otherwise lethal attacks. It's not invincibility - they can still feel all the way up to intense pain while their Aura is up (unless they have a semblance that blocks out pain, like one guy does), and an Aura can only take so much before it gives out, leaving the person open to taking injuries, even dying. Some semblances bolster or hinder Aura, but it comes down to the person much of the time. An example would be Yang - her Semblance allows her to absorb and redirect physical damage back into her own attacks, thus her Aura is crazy-tough compared to other characters in RWBY.

Alright, I've been watching these videos repeatedly for years and I think I understand by now why exactly you've done such a good job while the actual animators of RWBY haven't quite been able to recreate the magic that Monty brought to the show. 1. A good understanding of literal momentum. The characters movements are always fluid and they feel like actual trained warriors instead of WWE rejects. 2. A good understanding of figurative momentum. The "pacing" or "rhythm" of the fight scenes you do are always just a bit frantic. A lot of animators tend to create too many pauses or make their fighters slow or add in too much slow motion. I'm of the opinion that a good fight choreographer shouldn't give a damn about the audience clearly seeing every move since it makes the characters feel far more skilled if you can barely keep up with them. 3. Minimal use of effects, slow motion included. The main use of effects should be to accentuate certain points in the fight, not to cover up the parts that look bad or the weird clipping issues you can't be bothered to fix. Slow motion should be used sparingly to emphasize or showcase badassery, hard hits, or close shaves. Basically, anything that could never come across through normal speeds. Seriously, compare the original "Red" trailer to Yang's character short and I think everyone could see how these things can make or break a fight scene. These are all things you seem to be excelling at, and it takes a certain kind of person to view these fights from an audience's perspective. I think you and the late Monty Oum have this in common and you have come a long way since Charcoal. Here's hoping you keep on loving what you do and someone recognizes your talent. Basically, you're one hell of an animator, sir. Shine on you crazy diamond.

[@eliam1992x]

Someone send this to the RWBY team!

[@Axxidous]

The actual show has really good animation too. But it's evolved into a slightly different style. I don't really notice it, personally, on a first run. But if I go back to the beginning suddenly I can see it. Honestly, the original animation in comparison gives off more of an amateur feel to it. And I'd almost forgotten that it always did from the get go. Not in a bad way. But in more of a "we don't follow conventional rules of production" kind of way. It was like those DBZ styled flash animations of Sonic and Mario. The original fighting animation was all about doing something super cool and creative and then doing it again and again, taking a break from story just to see the creative, edgy, video game like fighting. With likes of spinning and flipping and camera tracking a set of "combos" one after another. That's probably the momentum you're talking about.

This trailer was incredible, and I can't wait to see the next one (if there will be a next one). I can practically see it now... *Charcoal exits the airship and looks at team SLVR, standing unfazed and unimpressed* Ragora: Who invited the fedora? Simin: Wasn't me. Vella: Or me. Lycan: Ughh, are we really going to do this? Obviously no one invited him. Charcoal: Funny... The four of you are standing there talking about invitations... and here I am, wondering who in the world invited you... Lycan: Aww, would you look at that, Goth Topic can talk. Can we pummel him now? Ragora: Why don't we try talking first. After all, we don't have to pummel him if he hands the Radiant over. Charcoal: the Radiant? Ragora: Yeah. The Radiant. You know... the mysterious, mystical object you're protecting... the one currently locked away in that fortress behind you? Charcoal: A mysterious, mystical object, huh? I see... So that's what it's called... Simin: You know what we're talking about? Charcoal: I do. In fact, I was the one who brought the Radiant here in the first place. Vella: What? Charcoal: Yeah... It was about a week ago... I took the Radiant from a group of criminals that used cybernetic soldiers. I had no idea what the item was at the time. And to be honest, I still really don't know what it is. All I do know is that I was hired then, to get it. Just like I've been hired now, to protect it. *Charcoal draws his weapon, and then takes an offensive stance. Team SLVR half-readies themselves for battle, though a part of them is still hoping for a peaceful negotiation* Simin: Listen... the Radiant is dangerous... far too dangerous to be left in the hands of these people... Give it to us. Charcoal: Sorry, but I can't do that. Vella: Why not? Charcoal: It's not in my contract. Lycan: Works for me. *Lycan cracks his knuckles* Lycan: I told you guys we should've just pummeled him. Ragora: Yeah... yeah... *The members of team SLVR arm themselves, and then assume a combative stance* Charcoal: Ha... You want to pummel me, kid...? *Charcoal ignites his sword* Charcoal: You're about a hundred men short for something like that... *Charcoal charges, and then proceeds to solo, team SLVR* End

Oh come now, I sincerely doubt the awesome team Mark put together is just gonna go out like punks to one guy, even if he IS badass...

[@Jordan.A.07]

@@jonnyman98989 Whether they would or would not lose, in reality, is inconsequential; as I largely made Charcoal the winner of the fight, for the sake of this mini-story. *Hear me out...* Team SLVR walks up to a castle, defeats a bunch of bad guys, and then saves the day. It's a nice story, but it's one we've all heard a thousand times before, in a thousand different ways. *But...* Team SLVR walks up to a castle, defeats a bunch of bad guys, but then gets stopped by one man? In my opinion, that makes for a more compelling story (in this instance), as it adds a great deal of importance to the one man (as he is now a person that team SLVR must train in order to defeat). If Charcoal went to stop team SLVR, and lost, then there's little separating him from being simple cannon-fodder, aside from his attire of course. *In the end...* The contents of the above mini-story, as well as the contents of this comment, are all just my opinions.

Man this is now better than RWBY, the first three volumes of RWBY are amazing and deserve the title of masterpiece, volume 4 is where the show started to fall apart, Volume 5 was okay at best. and volume six, kill me somebody please kill me, they did so much wrong with volume 6 and it wasn't even the story itself ( for the most part, there are a couple episodes that felt Bland). it's what they doing behind-the-scenes, they fired Vic so they can just protector brands ( yes I'm not an idiot I know about the Vic situation and in my opinion I stand with Vic despite a bunch of voice actresses saying they were quote on quote assaulted by him). and now RoosterTeeth is just trying to push politically correct stuff into the show just so they can say hey we appeal to everybody now so please don't kill us community.
