man, I don't know if Yang is based off tifa - I wouldn't be surprised - but around the time Rooster teeth was acquiring Death Battle, the latter had a Yang v. Tifa fight, with Barb as the voice actor for Yang. (Video aired Oct. 20, acquisition announced Nov 4) - You can't tell me that Rooster Teeth didn't already have some influence over that. So they've deliberately made this comparison before.

Weiss be Mitsuru, from the result alone, should be more than enough to prove RT has no hand in Death Battle. Even back then, they had no influence on the result, whether a mandate or DB receiving orders and going rogue. If anything, Death Battle wasn’t as much of what is today and the research may have been lacking if you wanna take off points for anything.

It’s kind of funny how whenever RWBY and Final Fantasy cross paths, things never seem to go well .

Apologies for double posting, but the main VAs did some virtual panel. And someone tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/sunnylilyang/status/1253467545820172291?s=19

I'm not talking about the outcome of the fight. I'm just saying that even if they don't have a choice on the battle's outcome, they'd still gave Yang being compared to tifa support by having them face each other.

Oh I get that. And honestly, one guy demanded proof of the connection so much I had to spoiler tag his tirade. Again, it’s funny how RWBY and Final Fantasy crossing paths usually ends in disaster.
 
I was on Discord and I found this from the companion book, probably the closest thing one could find to the line “the Faunus exist because Monty wanted a cat girl”: View attachment 1250412

also, in day “I don’t fucking know” of this Tifa fallout: some RWBY fan demanded to see documented proof that established that Monty based Yang Xiao Long off Tifa Lockhart.

Edit for Part 1: You don't have to read my long talk about character design originality and inspiration. For RWBY, a show that uses a bunch of fairy tales references for their characters creation and "plots". If anyone says a character design isn't based on a creator's some video games/animu waifu, they are truly having mental gymnastic just in order to defend an idiot statement.
That is just so unecessary to say my favourite character isn't a copy of some popular or inspired character design. I mean, please FF7 is 1997 while RWBY is like early 2010s, if there isn't some kind of references of creating RWBY cast based on some characters, I'm saying you're lying.

This is from TvTropes, so takes it as a grain of salt.

I'll confess, I don't watch any Monty Oum's stuff beside RWBY. I appreciate him pursuing his career with his passion. Saying Tifa not having a tiny bit of design inspiration on Yang is mental gymastic to me. Especially when Monty put his waifus in a "My dad is better than your dad" attitude kind of show.

About female "monk" fighting style, I'm pretty sure Tifa is the most popular one. It's inevitable when comparison with her, or using her as a reference. To be fair, that's how most people to describe stuff and I hate that kind of comparison description all thanks to Overwatch. And then with the Death Battle thing, it's almost like they are boasting some kind of comparison.
Example of hand to hand combat female characters: An Korean MMORPG game called DFO (released in 2005), they have female fighter as one of original classes, oh I'm 100% sure her design isn't inspired by Tifa at all.

Next Blazblue (first game was released in 2008 ), we have Makoto, almost similar colour tone and fighting style to the female fighter above.

Not on design, but Makoto from Persona 5 also have hand to hand combat style.
In short, I mean having originality is almost non-existent. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it's how you create, portray thing you love and put it with your own "unique touch" in it.

Ah yes, it is what it is because we say so. Lots of people and most everyone here discussed to death (sorry, not pun intended) about the true Monty Oum's vision for RWBY, I don't care about it as much as the show having decent story along with good animation. Monty Oum is dead for years now, let it go. This is the Echo chamber of Miles Luna brave and stunning weeb show now. Stop latching on a dead person to promote or make excuse for the show writing and direction. No, I don't believe 12 seasons plan either.

The only thing I actually wonder: what I get from Monty Oum is his passion for animating fighting scenes for his favourite animu girls, did he ever truly care to design big moments story like they said or just minimal reasons for the fighting to happen? If it was the latter, then wan't it basically Monty asked Miles and Kerry to do "minimum" to help him? Then "big moments", what big moments: Plots? Character developments? Fightings?

Looking throught this sunnylilyang, it's pure cringe of a RWBY waifuist mostly, then furry, KPop fan and thinking her sexuality is a personality. Spoiler: she has pronouns & sexuality in her profile. It's a she, not a troon.

That's totally how a gay sexuality works, being straight or bi until an "awakening".

I think I know why she likes this.

Although, scrolling through that gives me the other side of idiocy, still imagine dunking on stupid take so it validates the lesbian writing is so great and inspiring.

Oh well, whatever happened in Vol4 and the people who supported and comforted her didn't matter I guess.

I love twats who have to use fictional characters to try and justify their sexuality.

It's rather comical too it was this blonde one, who has the same actress as Ryuko Matoi, from Kill La Kill; another infamous anime example of projecting lesbianism (and missing the entire point of the story, her arc, etc) and SJW values on her (and the series itself, honestly) where there are none.
Poor chick just can't catch a break. :(

Because fictional characters are their chance to project their sexuality, that's why there's such a big buzz whenever someone is gay in a show.

And when that representation became a cathartic release of their repressed "denial of acknowledgement in real life position", these snowflakes stopped caring about anything else but just the gay-shipping and would go at all lengths to project their sjw faggotry, rather than showing interest to the show itself or anything else around the characters.

Imagine being so insecure with yourself that you need a FICTIONAL character to "feel okay". Now also imagine how even more pathetic it is that your still so insecure that you have to bait for twitter asspats about how clearly "okay" this character makes you feel (newsflash, if you have to do this your still insecure and not "okay" with yourself).

It's just encouraging mob mindset.

They would all think that RWBY fanbase is a potential SJW mob lynch crowd that they can egg upon anyone who disagreed with them and use that to lord over others.

But honestly, using a fictional poorly-made show like RWBY to be their vehicle of agenda-pushing is nothing short of pitiful.

You know what's sadder? There are anime that some brush off or see as mediocre that does what RWBY tries to do SO MUCH BETTER. You got K-On!, what some would call moe garbage, that does sisterhood and bonds and relationships (and they aren't even romantic) better than RWBY, and Girls und Panzer, a flash in the pan anime that occurs practically every season, does teamwork, strategies, and "rule of cool" and "anime girls and awesome action" better than RWBY IMO. And Miho Nishizumi is a MUCH better leader than Ruby or Jaune. I'd also say that Girls und Panzer could even beat RWBY in worldbuilding as well.

Take your pick. https://twitter.com/IAmTomHoran/status/1254131579892482048

Its somehow all three at the same time. Monty was a galaxy brained 6-D chess 105 IQ genius who made sure that RWBY would be garbage if he ever passed so that no one could ever surpass him.

In all seriousness, it is a a little bit of all three.
A. There was never a REAL plan, because Monty kept changing things at the last minute or adding unnecessary garbage.
B. Everyone was told a different version of this plan as Monty kept changing things, so no one even knows which plan is what he settled on.
C. What he had to begin with was not really that good and, because of all the changes/additions, continually got worse.

Like a faunus.

Indeed. He tried to make one glorious pastiche of JRPGs (namely Final Fantasy 7 with 8, "sylish" action games ala Devil May Cry, shonen, and magical girls. Yet it still didn't work off too well.

I wonder though... why didn't they make a Yang outfit that is based on Bruce Lee's Yellow tracksuit from "Game of Death" and to an extent, The Bride from Kill Bill that has interesting variations of the Yellow Tracksuit? D:

Well, because there really weren’t any pockets on that tracksuit, and one of Monty’s things was making designs that were cosplay friendly (namely, having pockets so cosplayers could store their things).
 
This was something that a buddy of mine shared on Discord. While it’s authenticity can’t be verified, I feel that given how hated CRWBY is, it’s easy enough to believe.

Eh, pics or it didn't happen and all that. I can maybe believe he was toying with the idea of leaving. After all he had years of experience under his belt professionally (something he did not have before RT), was probably getting tired of being hamstrung by RT, and, while i think they are still bad, the first two volumes received monumental praise with lots of money to show for it. Not to mention he was Asian, so would have been a welcome addition at any legitimate animation studio, be it in the US or abroad, as an animation choreographer or even a full blown director if he got lucky.
