As per Xan's thread before this, Link is divided by the Four Sword into different versions of himself throughout history. Team RWBY will consist of the obvious main cast. They are as follows.


Team Link:

OoT
WW
TP
SS


Team RWBY:

Ruby Rose
Weiss Schnee
Blake Belladonna
Yang Xiao Long


Team Link will be examined as their endgame versions. Even if that is a bad idea. Team RWBY will come as they are, but they are subject to reexamination as the series progresses.

Fight takes place in an ethereal plain that one would expect to be the setting of a boss fight (just because). Speculative Triforce omnipotence excluded, all fight in character.

Weiss is probably the biggest threat to the Links because magic, but otherwise I see them having a difficult time. They do have some mobility and general agility advantages, but they have a tough time hurting the monsters of their world, and aside from Ruby herself are a bit lacking in raw strength from what I've seen. Decent durability, though.

Maybe. I can't really say one way or the other.

I'd say Yang actually has greater striking power than Ruby given her requirement for it seeing as H2H is basically her weapon of choice, and teamwork seems rather hypothetical for the Links.

Ruby is actually one of, if not the physically weakest of the team. All her power comes from her weapon. I would say either Blake or Yang are the strongest. Ruby is definitely on the higher ends in terms of speed, though.

Again, I'd say Yang has strength on all of her team. Blake is more "ninjetic" then the others. But yeah, it is definitely implied that Ruby is the fastest one.

Who are these people? uhuh

So it is weeaboo magical girl CG animu. Hm. Can't watch all four trailers right now.

Can you supply some feats for them, though? mmm

At the moment, no, but I'll try to get on that tomorrow if I can get off work. To list a reasonable sum of feats would require time I don't have right now.

I don't expect the trailers alone to suffice. More am I simply recommending you watch it. ALL of it. It's well worth your time, believe me.

There's no way I have enough time to watch another series. If you count pokemon I have two jobs. (haermm) And I have to prep for this BZ. Which I haven't even started doing in earnest yet. mmm

Luck to you on the BZ, and I seriously recommend you find some time for it. At least after the BZ.

The episodes are short, averaging around ten minutes each. You should be fine. They also have OBD profiles, if that bit of info helps.

10 minutes each? What series have you been watching? A majority don't make it past 5 minutes if we're being generous. A few are 9+ minutes, and those are very rare.

My word usage was off. I meant to speak of the series as a whole averages ten minutes on run time, mainly because of the extended first and last episodes of the season. I could still be exaggerating, though.

Nah. You basically got it. Technically, some of the episodes are divided into two parts, but they are counted separately. Still, considering that, they actually only have nine episodes right now. Last I checked, they were actually on a "mid-season break" or some shit.

OK. To start, they all clocked well within the hypersonic range before the show even went live; this was further reinforced afterwards. The trailers have Blake and Yang casually bullet timing. Weiss is easily capable of outmoving them via gravity manipulation, as she demonstrated by speeding across an entire field past Yang to save Ruby's ass, and Ruby has effortlessly blitzed Weiss, much of which is attributed to her "semblance."

As for durability, Blake and Weiss have withstood explosive damage from hugging distance (the instance with Weiss was a comical scenario involving Ruby, but I wouldn't simply discount it), and Ruby even took an explosive round to the face. I can't recall anything for Yang, but she did hold open the beak of a giant crow (I can't f**king remember what they're actually called) with one arm while shooting it in the mouth, so I'd say that counts for strength.

Aside from all the combative showings that have proven it, some amount of their mobility, intellect, and skill were spoken for when they all had to devise their own "landing strategy" when catapulted from a clifftop into the distant forest below where their initiation trial was conducted.

There's more, but the amount of footage I would have to provide would be redundant to the point where I'm basically just setting you up to watch the damn thing, which you would honestly be much better off doing. My efforts to explain it wouldn't do it near the same justice. haermm

Were you drawing a blank on the specific creature, or the terminology for big evil monsters? If it's the latter, they're called Grimm. If it's the former, I can't help. The only Grimm I know for sure is the Beowolf. I'm assuming the extra m because the theme makes more sense that way.

Blake or Yang could possibly be stronger, but aside from Penny, no one else really has a strength feat on the level on lifting this bird. That's the primary reason I'm saying Ruby is the strongest right now.

I suppose it could be argued that the recoil of her weapon assisted, but that thing is all over the place in terms of force.

I'm talking about the creature itself. I remembered 'Grimm' as the name of the species.

To be fair, she did have Weiss assisting her with a forced shift in gravity, and most of her "strength" is derived from the same marked rounds she uses to propel herself. Though to seamlessly handle such amount recoil does still say something of her strength. Then again, Yang executes similar actions with her energy projection.

Just Realised that their names are there colours.

Also the represent different fairy tales but that was clear from the outset.

i say team RWBY

So, screw you guys, I've started watching it.

The girls are quick, but so far I'm wondering what provoked Sacred into putting them against four Links? mmm One might've been a bit more fair, unless they get better feats further along that I just haven't seen yet?

theyve got a few alright ones

Really? Damn, lol. (No disrespect.)

Well... they more just reference them than actually represent them, I think. I seem to remember Monty confirming that himself, but I'm not quite sure. It matters little though. Lol.

Possibly. They're a more diverse group with a proven sense of teamwork, but they're less experienced and not quite as strong (from what we know). It could go either way IMO.

It's about time Link had some legitimately interesting competition again. Especially here. haermm

So far they appear to be fairly casual bullet timers, possibly capable of outrunning actual bullets rather than just avoiding them, which is a large step above most bullet timers, putting them around mach 3. The OBD article says they're hypersonic+ but OBD tends to exaggerate, so I like to check everything for myself. They have some good calcs, and then they have some absolutely absurd and completely unusuable ones.

I'd be fairly willing to accept mach 5, hypersonic, if they show a bit more ease with bullets or do something similarly cool as the series goes on, but mach 10+ is stretching it, but again I'm not far in, so if they have really cool feats later my mind may change.

That said, at that speed OoT Link could arguably handle all four at once. mmm

About time.

Some of their feats are arguably comparable to Link's, so I didn't want to chance being called out for spite. Not that I believe it would be. I just saw teams as a better idea.

And yes, it's going to take time to build feats. The series is still a bit fresh, and the story hasn't fully taken off yet. Right now, they're just setting the foundations and delving into the characters a little more. Anyways, how far are you currently?

Ep3.

Ruby is adorable. I resent her for it, though, because she is clearly designed to be adorable rather than simply coming across that way. uhuh

OK. You've still got a lot to see then.

I know, right?! haermm They actually did some of that for the sake of character development. You'll see. Regardless, she's quirky as shit, and it's hilarious. This show has everything, and I f**king love it!

Episode 8 contains the "big fight" and provides a lot of good feats for them outside the trailers.



Is Weiss' power gravity based? I don't really recall, but okay.

That's mostly what I mean by the recoil being all over the place. They use the force to propel themselves around, but it's mysteriously absent when fired like an actual weapon. It's just something that irks me slightly, but not enough to interfere with the show.

Ruby has marked rounds (as seen in the trailer) made specifically to propel her. And yes, Weiss can use black/white dust for gravity manipulation. This was how she launched Ruby, as well as making a vertical trail along the cliffside which could be traversed.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure the gravity glyphs affected the bird at all, so her strength (assisted by recoil, or course) was, in fact, in play. I don't take anything away from her, but I'm not exactly convinced that she's physically the strongest; I still feel like that's Yang's game.

Most of their speed seems to come from their various ways of propelling themselves, but they can move very fast doing that. Their reactions and combat speed are plainly superhuman. I'm not willing to call hypersonic+ on it yet, but I'm only as far as the bird decapitation.

This far in, it seems having them fight anything more than one Link at a time is cruel. mmm

I've finished it.

Sacred, y u do dis? haermm They're pretty fast but team Link should take this everytime. mmm

Yeah from what I've seen, RWBY is lacking in overwhelming strength, durability and DC feats

Because? I kinda just wanted to get RWBY on the boards, and let's be honest, it's been too long since Link actually had a worthy opponent.

Shall I implement new strips? A Link gauntlet for RWBY, perhaps?

They'd stop at 1, might as well make it 'they fight each Link one at a time" or they'll never get past OoT Link. Their auras won't be worth anything against Fi, either, so you may even want to restrict him to not using his sword. mmm

Imho, he'll still win, though, as they're outclassed in all areas except mobility.

Crescent Rose' sniper rounds won't do anything to him, he's worn explosions more damaging than Yellow's gauntlets on his face, his casual tosses have been estimated to be equivalent to multiple tons of TNT, and his combat speed is likely superior to Ganondorf's. (He wins tennis :V)

But if we heal them and have them progress anyway at least we get to discuss further match ups.

I miss the show already.

Anyways, the order would be WindLink, SkyLink, TwiLink, TimeLink.

Season two will happen.

What restrictions are the Links under?

I know it will. I'm actually not even sure it's over due to what I've heard. I just want it back already.

Same; Triforce wish granting disabled (with actually makes sense for his character anyways). If I need add more, do tell.

They probably can't even hurt WW Link. So there's that.

And I used to think I realizes how f**king ridiculous Link was. haermm

While I want this thread to remain valid, I feel as if I've wronged my new favorites. I'm sad now.

Thank you, Scream. Way to reassure me of my shame. And yes, they are adorable.

Also...

Which subject were you addressing just then?

How durable Link tends to be in 3D games.

I just forgot about that specific showing.

Well we never get to use Wind Waker Link on account of no one ever using anything other than Twilight Princess. Which is sad because I love the little guy and he is probably one of the most powerful 3D Links.

He could break TP Link over his adorable little knee.
