Who else here thinks that Yang isn't actually going to be punished? I mean, Ozpin is way too smart to fall for something like this, Qrow knows her way too well to think that she'd do such a thing, Coco knows that the bad guys have someone with an illusory semblance, and it looks like the people in the front row didn't fall for the illusion. But this might also all be according to Cinder's plan: If Yang doesn't get punished, the crowd will get even more pissed off and draw more Grimm to Beacon.

Especially the specifics. It's one shitty god to have set up these bullshit rules for passing on infinite power.

And on that, we're way too early in for all this power creep. Dust, Aura and Semblances were MORE than enough, and now we've got straight-up magic?

It's not like any characters are even in danger with the threats as they are now anyway.

It plants a thought that people aren't as safe as the bigwigs say they are, or that Hunters aren't as effective as they're supposed to be. Unease eventually leads to panic, which eventually leads to an uncooperative populace that's easier to deal with. It also attracts -more- Grimm, as we saw where those big elephants turned their attention toward the festival after thousands of people saw a girl blow out a defenseless dude's knee unprovoked.

I know people say arrested a lot but more than likely she is just going to be barred from the competition rather than put in jail, they are literally fighting each other with scythes, swords, automatic weapons and explosives and just because one little leg got broken means she'll get arrested? The only thing that will happen is that she will get expelled and be in a position not to help when all the shit goes down.

>>
>>78132405
Yea, it did. That's why they ended the fight.
>>
>>78131165
I've just started watching the Yang vs Mercury fight.

I'm going to assume that everything that Mercury did was to facilitate the finale of it all.

From a distance of an arms length, Yang reared her right hand back, screamed, and threw a haymaker.

From a distance where the two hands are touching, against a southpaw, the fact that she thought that was a good idea is terrifying, especially as she threw it the way she throws everything, with the left hand flailing away from the body in a uncorked position. In this case it was pointing diagonally at the ground behind her.

The self control Mercury must have, to not hit the body, legs or head of Yang while she did that with his lead or back leg is astounding.

The fights still have the issue of everything being done on a straight line. Mercury's reentry into the fight was stupidly telegraphed. Instead of moving to the side, checking it or meeting him with something higher she leapt over it at a distance where the kicker would have an advantage.

There was that odd sequence where they kind of handfought. I don't really understand why they did that though. If Yang was trying to back hand she did a piss poor job of it considering that her hand met his at the elbow. There was also the issue that she tried twice to punch across her body, at a figure standing off her line, with what looked like a straight and a hook.

After the small fight at a distance where Mercury came in with a jumping flipping axe kick, she blocked high, threw his leg up high, then followed it up, with a overcommited lead left low kick and right straight, with her left hand low again. He attacked her through the middle but still she was just wide open on the left side.

The combination work after the close the distance again was just shoddy as all hell with the hand not being used to attack falling way by her hips and when it progressed to kicking, she just made a fool of herself.
>>
>>78132420
She didn't. She put Yang under an illusion. She saw Merc attack her. Everyone else saw him walk over and congratulate her.
>>
This cliffhanger really grinds my gears.
I just... I HATE stuff like that.
Such "oh, let's make the good guys appear bad" stuff.
>>
>>78132420
The stadium wasn't under an illusion, Yang was.
>>
>>78132354
But the fact that the match was over doesn't change. Anything is on the table during the fight, but once the fight's over it's over.

>>78132405
They end it when it reaches a certain point, and Yang hit him hard enough to go from still eligible to 0 in a single attack
>>
>>78132420
She doesn't need to put the entire stadium and the cameras under illusion. She only needed to do that to Yang.

>>78132402
>Just a box of crackers with a printout of Mercury's face on it

People getting hurt during the fights is a completely different issue. No one was bothered when Weiss got burnt, and that could've been way worse than a broken leg if her aura had been low enough.

The were bothered because Yang did it *after* the fight to a defenseless and beaten opponent. If Merc had started stomping on Coco's head after she was knocked out they would have arrested him too.

After a breakdancing performance by Mercury there is this weird goddamn moment where Yang holds her hand out and Mercury kicks it.The angle doesn't make any goddamn sense and it looks like Mercury just did it for shits and giggles.

The reoccuring issue that RWBY has of distance rears its head again. During several of the spinning kicks the fact that they wouldn't actually land is pretty blantant. Also Yang's guard is basically her holding her hands out in front of her like a cat.

The entire sequence kind of looked janky compared to the rest of it, similar to the Arslan fight. It was significantly slower than the rest to allow for all the spinning.

The kick that let Yang counter looked odd like a soccer kick to the head. The shoryuken to elbow sequence looked neat as hell and almost Monty like.

The sequence where Mercury came back from the ring out was a mixed bag. The points where she was blocking kicks with an outstretched hand just looked stupid as hell.

The sequence where Mercury beat the unholy shit out of Yang was exactly what I expected the fight to consist of and that final fucking sequence where she somehow managed to win the entire fight by doing the exact same thing she had been doing the entire fight but with her just being angrier was just bullshit. Like goddamn.

The leg cracking noise when she punched him in the knee was amazing.

I'd give it a 7.9/10.
