Am I the only one that feels like that Maya!RWBY would get washed by Poser!RWBY, combat-wise? Comparing the scenes from Poser-era to Maya-era, and I find that Team RWBY in the former had better weapon usage and Semblance/Aura versatility than the latter - especially when you look at each of the trailers (I know it's 'Rule of Cool', but still...), not to mention much more coordinated team attacks. Like, Beacon!Weiss is proficient in Time Dilation and Elemental Glyphs while being a proficient fencer; in comparison, Maya!Weiss is just... a summoner. That's it. Like, she's written as if she has no other skills. 'Blek' is knocked down so easily these days and uses her Semblance as a means of escape; Blake, on the hand, not only is a proficient swordswoman but shows versatility with a Kusarigama, marksmanship, and double wielding. Oh, and that's not including her masterful use of her semblance to create afterimages to pull off blitzkrieg combos, and later infuse them with Dust for surprise feints. And how can I forget her fucking aura slashes! Yang, is tankier in Poser, and she uses her Semblance as a last resort/'uno reverse' - letting her CQC skills do the talking; meanwhile, "Yang" just... activates her semblance at the drop of a hat, ruining that surprise factor while slowly becoming heavily reliant on both it and her "weapon upgrades" (which are, in reality, downgrades since her previous explosive rounds were much more versatile in comparison). And Ruby... I can't really say much except that scythemanship-CQC combination and semblance usage were more dynamic. I know it's partly due to Monty and Shane's insane animation skills, but I feel like there's more to it than that. Sorry, these are just my observations.

Wholeheartedly agree. I mean yes, we're all continually acknowledging that we can't have the choreography and vision of the Monty years, but even beyond that recent fights have, for the most part, been shockingly forgettable for me. An immediate exception to that is Ironwood vs. Watts (which uses the environment really well) and I liked portions of the WBY vs. Chessman fight from V9E3, but on the whole the girls feel nerfed despite the claims of, "We're full-fledged huntresses now, capable of beating some of the best in the world."

To add to what you've already got above, some details that immediately spring to my mind are:

Yang repeating the same combat mistake that she made back in Volume 3, resulting in "dying" rather than losing an arm

Ruby now using her semblance primarily to travel (within Atlas HQ, out of the Red Castle, etc.) rather than pulling off cool dodges, ping-ing off of things for extra speed, or creating a tornado-like effect as seen in the food fight. As mentioned many times in the past, sometimes it's not even used for an obvious need, like scaling the mountainside while fighting Cordovin, because the story wants a 'cliffhanger.'

One of the reasons I liked the chessman battle was because we had some actual team attacks, but recent Volumes are still weighed down by separating the teams - even when the story claims that's the key to victory (AKA Ace Ops battle).

This extends to moments like YJB just taking turns against the Hound, or Neo standing there dumbly as Oscar runs the length of a hallway to punch her.

I rarely feel like fights are won with any exciting flourish or narrative satisfaction anymore. (Which is another reason why Ironwood vs. Watts works so well for me: destroying your arm as a massive 'fuck you' to what your enemy thinks you're capable of withstanding to catch them unaware in their confidence is AMAZING.) I still think about Weiss summoning a wall of ice for Harriet to knock herself out against and I'm like... really? That's it?

Ruby doesn't really use her sniper rifle anymore. I loved that she used that to obey Qrow's "Stay back!" command while still trying to help. That used to be another way to slow descent, get in quick shots between swings, help an ally like when she hit Nora with the lightning dust...

I could go on. So many of the new fights are just plain boring to me. Think about how much is solved through the Big Powers now. Ruby takes out The Apathy with her eyes (though I put that in only to establish the pattern. I do like that the emotion-based grimm was defeated via care for another, not fighting.) The Hound goes the same way. Oscar sets off an explosion of magic against Salem. Winter Maidens up to blast Ironwood, etc. They're all incredibly easy wins that, for the most part, just require the magic wielder to stand there and shoot the Powerful Magic Beam at the enemy. Meanwhile, other potentially well-choreographed fights are seeped in narrative problems, like Qrow and Tyrian vs. Clover. Now toss in moments like Blake begging Ruby for help, or her and Weiss being unable to get up the vines, or them straight up forgetting that Cinder is in the city (because strategy is as important as power) and yeah, OG!RWBY would wipe the floor with them.

OG!RWBY is made up of a prodigy child wielding "one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed," a sword master capable of manipulating time, her teammate's powers, versatile glyphs, and her family's dust supply, a tank who supposedly went on a journey to better harness her ability to absorb and redirect energy (which as you say used to be an awesome surprise, not a response every time Yang gets mildly annoyed at someone), and the child of combat activists who, by her own admission, had to fight early and well to survive outside the Kingdoms. Team RWBY now feels like they're powerful primarily because a) they claim they are and b) they've got various forms of magic in their back pocket.

Suffolk YJS Champions Youth Justice Reform

Suffolk Youth Justice Service is transforming juvenile intervention with a new assessment tool that prioritizes children's needs. This child-first approach considers social, legal, and psychological factors, aiming to reduce youth offenses and improve rehabilitation.  

Introduction

In the heart of Suffolk, an innovative approach to youth justice is rewriting the playbook on juvenile intervention strategies. At Suffolk Youth Justice Service, Operations Manager Amy Bruce champions a pioneering tool that is transforming prevention and diversion efforts in youth justice, showcasing a promising future for juvenile interventions in the UK. The Youth Justice Board's new Prevention and Diversion Assessment Tool has become a cornerstone in Suffolk’s strategy to manage and rehabilitate young offenders. Developed with a child-first philosophy, this tool prioritizes the needs and perspectives of children at every stage of the justice process, ensuring that interventions are not only appropriate but also effectively tailored to foster better outcomes.   A Closer Look at the Prevention and Diversion Assessment Tool Since adopting the tool a year ago, Suffolk Youth Justice Service has seen notable improvements in how they manage out-of-court disposals. The tool's framework encourages a holistic approach, considering each child’s unique circumstances and the broader impact of their actions on the community.   Amy Bruce explains, "The key to successful intervention is understanding the individual needs of each child. This tool empowers our team to make informed decisions that are in the best interests of the child and the community."   The success of the tool can be attributed to its comprehensive design, which allows practitioners to assess a child’s situation through various lenses, integrating legal, social, and psychological factors. This multidimensional approach not only improves the accuracy of assessments but also enhances the efficacy of the interventions.  

Case Study

The Impact of the Prevention and Diversion Tool in Suffolk Implementation Details Introduced in early 2023, the tool was integrated into Suffolk’s youth justice procedures with comprehensive training for all staff. Initial responses were positive, highlighting the tool’s intuitive design and alignment with existing practices.   A Specific Case One notable case involved a 14-year-old referred for minor vandalism. Previously, such cases might have proceeded directly to court. Using the new tool, practitioners were able to identify underlying issues related to the young person's home life and mental health, leading to a tailored intervention that included family counseling and mentorship rather than punitive measures. Six months later, reports indicated significant improvements in behavior and school attendance.   Feedback from Practitioners and Youth Staff have praised the tool for its user-friendliness and effectiveness in fostering better decision-making. Young individuals, like the 14-year-old mentioned, have expressed relief and gratitude for receiving support that genuinely addresses their needs rather than facing immediate punitive actions.   Quantitative Outcomes The introduction of new KPIs by the YJB in April 2023 has deepened the monitoring capabilities of Suffolk's interventions. A developing dashboard tracks these KPIs, providing real-time data that enhances decision-making processes. According to the Suffolk Youth Justice Plan 2023-2024, the caseload for the fiscal year 2022-2023 included diverse demographics and needs, highlighting the importance of such targeted tools.   Challenges and Lessons Learned The rollout wasn’t without its challenges, primarily in adapting existing workflows to incorporate the new tool. However, these challenges were met with proactive adjustments and ongoing support from the YJB.  

Looking Forward

Future Plans for Suffolk YJS Plans are underway to refine the tool based on initial feedback and to expand its use within more complex cases, potentially influencing broader policy adaptations across the UK.   Implications for National Policy Suffolk’s pioneering work could serve as a model for national reforms, especially given the positive preliminary outcomes and detailed analysis possible with the new KPIs.   Final Thoughts Suffolk’s experience with the Prevention and Diversion Assessment Tool illuminates the path forward for juvenile justice systems nationwide. By placing children at the heart of justice processes, Suffolk YJS is not only improving individual outcomes but is also contributing to the broader goal of reforming youth justice across the UK.   Sources: THX News & Youth Justice Board for England and Wales.
