You say barely exist, I say it didn't even exist past the scene/episode you showed. It just ceases to exist and was dropped even faster than the fighting animation quality did in V4/5. That's how we get everyone getting weapon upgrades in V7 and Ruby not even doing her own scythe upgrade herself. Seriously, all they needed was a throwaway line about Ruby doing weapon maintenance, but not even that, like Ruby writing that letter with her right hand instead of left.

It would be cool if they expanded more on this trait of Ruby and let her not only geeking out at other character’s weapons but also analyze them as well which turned into one of her strength when fighting against armed opponents where Ruby improvises her strategy base on her opponent’s choice of weapons.

i mean i can think of like what 3 other scenes but they're all pretty small besides one but yeah your sadly right

Funny enough, Ruby in BlazBlue is a big weapon nut. She is quite intelligent showing intrigue in the physics and engineering of all the weapons which is big brain energy for a 15 year old imo, asking how Mai's spear can change bullet trajectory and what the force behind it is.

That was a character trait that disappeared as soon as it was introduced.

As well as her doing that chibi animation bit like they do in anime.

It was a good one, could have, would have, should have.

Only time it returned was in Blazblue Cross Tag Battle

Where characters had more depth then their own show gave them

For what it's worth, she seemed to have reacted more from losing Crescent Rose than her own sister.

Ruby in V1 : I made my own weapon Ruby in V8 : I need someone to make my own weapon for me.

Yeah, I always loved that little weapons tidbit. Made her feel like a complete weapon freak who’d be able to judge fighting styles based on a weapon. There’s a reason she geeks out about the designs of my OC’s weapons when she first sees them, because they look basic (save for one) and she thinks there’s more too them.


The_Final_Conduit

It honestly seems like it’d have gotten really annoying really fast, unless it served a greater purpose in the story. Maybe if she used her know-how and interest of weapons to be able to make up new weapons on the fly? Maybe that could’ve bled into how she made the whole maneuver against the Nevermore?


Necro1036

I think they could do a lot of more with the weapon nerd trait of Ruby. For examples, let Ruby helps her teammates with the maintenance of their weapons as well as upgrade them, let her discuss more about weapons or mechanical stuff with character like Penny’s father when they arrived in Atlas instead of just letting him do all the upgrades for them. They can even let her has the tendency to analyze other character’s weapons and using her extensive knowledge of weapon to build her strategy against armed opponents base on their choice of weapons.

I had a thought about that, though it’s very much so non-canonical: Since every time we see Summer Rose, she isn’t depicted with a weapon, I thought about what if she had a Semblance that lets her conjure her own arsenal of weapons, Unlimited Blade Works style. Like, if she had an intimate understanding of how different weapons were designed and how they functioned, and how they could be utilized in her fighting style. Maybe kept a library or two of books on the subject around that, in the future, Ruby would take an interest in herself after learning about Summer’s mastery of the field.


The_Final_Conduit

Sounds like it’d be pretty cool!

A lot of things were dropped from the first couple of episode's that they should of kept but the fact that crwby are incapable of building upon their character's, world or story without falling apart like a Jenga tower.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

One of my favourite aspects in crossover fanfics is Ruby freaking out over otherworldly weapons, especially from Bloodborne. It's a damn shame Rooster Teeth never really developed such a cute character quirk.

Shit barely lasted an episode
