Yang Xiao Long is one of 4 main protagonists of the indie animated series, RWBY made by Roosterteeth that started in 2013 – continued & published to stream services by Viz Media. Yang accompanies her younger step-sister, Ruby Rose to an academy that hosts student warriors with unique, quirky weapons and abilities. They’re assigned a team and make friends while fighting off evildoers – all the while Yang searches for her mother. Unfortunately, not much else can be said, or else it would be spoiler territory

[Little Light Dragon]
Yang punches first & thinks later. She is a pseudo-heavy brawler that can power through enemy pressure. Many of her attacks are short ranged, lack speed, and leave her open if whiffed. Nonetheless, they pack a hefty punch that can explode enemies with ease

[Semblance: Burn]
Yang has innate light Soft Armor on the startup of Normals & Strongs that negates weak knockback. Upon reaching 100%, the Soft Armor value is tripled and gain bonus effects on Normals & Strongs. Semblance deactivates upon losing a stock or going under the threshold

|I Can Take it|
Semblance is active while Yang is on fire. Landing attacks while burning will increase it’s duration based on the attack’s damage

[Ember Celica]
Specials utilize Yang’s shotgun gauntlets for bonus effects when they’re held on startup. Shells are reloaded upon Walljumping

[N-Special – (Firecracker)]
Fire a narrow shotgun blast forward. If Celica is Loaded, this can be held on startup to fire an explosive shell instead

[F-Special – (Burst of Embers / Rising Fire)]
[Burst of Embers]
Charge forward with an elbow bash. Burst of Embers also inherits Semblance’s Soft Armor. This can also be Jump Canceled. If Celica is Loaded, this can be held to make the charge go farther

[Rising Fire]
If Special is pressed, briefly leap to axe kick forward. This Force Flinches grounded enemies and spikes aerial enemies. This is untechable

[D-Special – (Afterburn)]
Get pent up in a quick burst of fire, lightly knocking back enemies and reloads a Celica shell. This can be held to make her burn herself for a period of time & reload 2 Shells instead. This move also temporarily activates Semblance for the as long as she is burning. Casting D-Special while burning will continue it. This can only be used once per airtime unless it hits in which the cooldown refreshes

Many of these animations are taken from Yang’s iteration in Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle. The rest is entirely made up

Don’t worry chat. We have Bullet Blazblue at home

There’s a lot of voicelines I could have smashed in here, but I don’t want to bloat the file size more than I have to

The mashing character that incentivizes your enemies to stop mashing

I’m gonna punch you so hard that you get sent to Minecraft

I can’t believe it. Ike Quickdraw 2

I’m inventing a new term. A Ledge-to-Ledge combo

Mom said it’s my turn to be the main character

Ah man. Zetterburn mains against this character are gonna love it

If you don’t end up winning, spam B-Air. It usually works I swear
