@@remember25october Yeah...Our Smug Queen of the World. All hail Queen Neo! ...You know, that's actually a really good idea. I'm going to go write that.
It's either the fact she doesn't speak meaning she's not blurting one liners or quips and can focus on kicking ass, or it's those legs of hers, she will literally kick Mercury's shit in, or both. Probably both.
Yeah, but she has no plot armor(what with being a henchman of already defeated S1 villain), so i'm really afraid she'll end up with either Cinder stabbing her in the back or Salem biting her face off.
@@Self-replicating_whatnot I think it's Neo who will backstab Cinder. During her fight with Cinder, she only stopped fighting after seeing how powerful Cinder actually was. I think she's just playing the long game.
Yang: NEO! NEO: oh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming closer to me? Yang: I can't beat the shit outta you without getting any closer! NEO: oh-ho! Then come as close as you like!
I knew she had the ability to change her appearance and create physical illusions through her Semblance (Overactive Imagination), but I never knew she could swap her natural heterochrome eyes back and forth.
It happend all the time. Right before she fought Yang, they even swapped color right in front of us when she blinked. From what we also see, they turn white when she's afraid, otherwise I think it's just what she wants them to look like.
See, this is what makes Neo and Cinder terrifying as hell. They have skill. They know how to fight instead of just relying on cheap tricks and techniques. Sure, Cinder has her Maiden powers and Neo has illusions but more often than not, we see them not using it and instead just showing their mastery of combat.
Cinder doesn't show skill more then a pair of times. Usually shw is a worthless "haha-magic". Remember her fight against Penny? She sucks. Basically everywhere.
She's a henchman to a defeated Season 1 villian. I keep wondering how did that small-time mafioso manage to secure the service and, it seems, a genuine loyalty of such a powerhouse.
Have you caught up? Before she joined with Cinder, Neo realized she couldn't beat Cinder, Cinder was holding back her Spring Maiden powers. So Neo's very smart, too!
@@lewisabercrombie9121 Just that is the expression of seriousness. Fear, maybe, or despair. The point is, her expression is serious. At least it seems that way to me.
Forgotten the Kingsmen, have you? Actually, using umbrellas and canes have been part of several martial arts systems for many decades, if not a century or so.
Predictions, Neo will turn on Cinder/Salem for many possible reasons, aquire the power of the summer maiden. Leaving us with one protagonist maiden(Penny), one antagonist(Cinder) and two wild-cards(Neo/Raven).
When your semblance is litterally imagining things which then become illusions until broken, maybe she keeps forgetting which eye is which color, so when she thinks about it it becomes that way until she knuckes her eyes or something.
I've always loved RWBY for a lot of reasons, but I've always been interested in martial arts styles and Neo in particular. The way she fights is _amazing_ really, it's almost like dancing or gymnastics where its far more about your balance than your attacks, but also in the same vein as aikido where its not as offensive of a fighting style. I really wanna study and learn to fight like this honestly
That's the thing. Pretty much none of that is actually useful. 90% of the time in a fight, Neo is very clearly off-balance, and if she ever goes up against someone as fast as her she's gonna get dusted. In an actual fight, misdericting the other person's blows is definitely useful (straight up blocking is little use in fistfights, my area of expertise) and so is swaying to dodge or occasionally strafing to one side or another, but you want your feet planted, you want to know where your fists are. That's not saying it isn't good to move, and to keep moving, but most of Neo is just overkill.
If I were to guess I would say Roman Torchwick. He has ungodly speed for parrying and dodging, but is really too big to be the dodging master. Where as Neo is small enough to be how she is.
@@cqbjones4861 They do mention there are pre-academy combat schools, its also possible she learned at one of those and just honed her skills fighting grim much in the same way the main characters did. Shes just has 4-8 years on the main characters in age
She was partially trained in an all girls school in vale and upon finding Roman began to learn all of her criminal tricks (lockpicking, car jacking, etc…) along with more advanced combat
Roman and neo are my favorite characters in the entire series They are exactly what they seem and are badass at doing it I stopped watching after Roman fought on the carrier and just pretty much left the fandom but for fanfiction
@@bloodbrawler1438 Far as I can tell, she's mute, but usually mutes can still make sounds, mainly stuff that's just air (gasping for example). It varies with mutes.
The closest in show canon is her looking expectedly at Cinder after the fight in V6. The RWBY companion and Amity Arena bith call her mute, though (and AA implies it's by choice)
@@cobaltbeau to be exact cinder says something on the lines of "do you want to keep attacking me or do you want to talk about killing the one who is responsible for his(torchwick aka the pumpkin head) death" She stops attacking cinder says "fine let's talk" and neo points at her throat to point out she can't talk and then cinder says "right" like she forgot

And I love her fighting style. So much more refinded then the others.
The fights are like god damn fighting game matches
Best girl in the whole series
I wouldn't say best but she is up there
I never realized until watching it now how well timed the clips are with the music and lyrics it's SO well done
