* Cancels into itself, even on whiff.
* Throw cancelable.


Ruby's fastest low, essential in enforcing high/low mixups
Ruby thrusts the sharpened end of her weapon's hilt into the ground. Has an astounding amount of cancel options, including throw, 5A into either a jump or back to itself, and even just itself again on whiff. This is also the safest attack she has due to it being only -2 on block and its low overall frames makes it hard to punish even on whiff. Oh, and it is also a low. 2A should be used in every blockstring possible.


Is really strong in pressure, with it being -2. Allows for strong frame traps as well as for tick throws.

Overview

"Ah, this looks interesting. Mind if I join the fight?"

Backstory

The main protagonist of RWBY and Yang Xiao Long's younger half-sister. Ruby Rose always dreamed of becoming a Huntress like the great heroes talked about in fairy tales. After a chance incident, Headmaster Ozpin extends Ruby an invitation to attend Beacon academy after seeing her skills first hand. Ruby accepts the invitation and begins attending Beacon academy to begin her training to become a Huntress. Soon after, she became the leader of a newly formed team of Huntresses with Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long called Team RWBY.

Playstyle

Ruby Rose wields a weapon called the Crescent Rose, a weapon crafted by herself that's a hybrid between a scythe and a high caliber sniper rifle. The weapon is capable of transforming into a scythe or a sniper rifle, though it can fire bullets in either form. In the show, she also frequently made use of the recoil from firing bullets from Crescent Rose to propel her in different directions, giving her extra mobility and maneuverability.

All of this is adapted directly into Ruby's playstyle to create a very well rounded character. The Crescent Rose gives many normals that have great reach and hit in a wide arc, allowing her to fight up close very well. She has specials where she fires the Crescent Rose, giving her ranged options to fight from afar. And finally, her Gun Blast special allows her to propel herself forward, backward and at different angles in the air, giving her extra movement options in neutral.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Has absolutely every advantage one could ask for in a character's arsenal: great damage, speed, confirms, projectiles, assists, distortions, etc.
  • One of the easiest characters in the games to pick up, and is a solid pick for any duo due to her versatile assists.
  • In addition to her large disjointed range, Ruby's normals also have excellently fast startup
  • Has a tricky projectile property in all her special moves, which can be a hassle to deal with both from afar and up close.
  • Easy to follow up her BnB combos with an assist thanks to Buzzsaw Blast's generous timing window as an aerial combo ender.
  • Ruby's ground-to-air speed gives her outstanding mix-up potential in her blockstrings.
  • Can punish opponents from near fullscreen when using her Petal Burst distortion.
  • Her 6P is one of the faster projectile assists in the game.
  • Ruby's dashes (Gun Blast specials) can be incredibly bothersome to defend against when utilized by an effective player.
  • Because of the large wide-reaching hitboxes on her aerial normals and her very high speed, Ruby's is extremely good at crossing-up opponents, even without an assist.
  • Opponents may have a tendency to drop out of combos when getting hit at the absolute max range of her scythe.
  • Zoning game is not very strong. Though she does have good fireballs, they are announced quite heavily, and can be easily circumvented.

  • Jump cancelable.
  • Throw cancelable.

Ruby thrusts with the tip of her weapon's hilt. This is the fastest move she has and thus it is important for forcing her way out of pressure or getting the first blow in a scramble situation. Can cancel into 2A and back, allowing Ruby to extend blockstrings and enforce a high-low mix with 2A and 5C.

  • Jump cancelable on hit.
  • Throw cancelable.

An uppercut with the blunt end of her scythe. Mostly used as combo or pressure filler. The throw cancel here can be very tricky as it can be as late as the fifth hit in a blockstring which by that point most opponents won't expect a throw. EX: (On block) 2A > 5A > 2A > 5AA > Throw.

  • Knockdown on air hit.

Ruby slams down with the blunt end of Crescent Rose. Has excellent damage and scaling, the highest among all her normals. Its air knockdown property allows Ruby to pull airborne opponents down for full confirms. Frame trapping with this move, and thus using this move as a combo's starter, can result in monstrous damage. This move's only flaw is that it is locked behind two other normals which limits Ruby's ability to abuse it.

  • Switches sides on hit or block.
  • Launches opponents backwards on hit.

Dashing forward with the momentum of a her scythe-rifle's recoil, Ruby vanishes as she slashes through opponent, reappearing in a burst of rose petals. A fairly poor attack when used solo but is arguably the most degenerate move in her arsenal with an assist or Cross Combo available thanks to the free left / right mix-ups it grants on block, even in the corner. While Reject Guarding 5AAA can make this move whiff mid-screen, it can't stop it in the corner if 5A was done at point-blank range as this move will still reach the opponent. Has identical damage and scaling as 5AAA but is less practical as this move has absolutely zero cancel options, requiring an assist for any sort of extension.

  • Jump cancelable.

Horizontal swing with fantastic range both in front of her and behind her. This is Ruby's best button for long range pokes, starting combos, and denying cross-ups. Should be used heavily during combos thanks to its good damage and scaling.

  • Jump cancelable.
  • Pulls in airborne opponents.

Ruby pulls her scythe back in an arc that drags airborne opponents towards her but not on block or standing hit. Can whiff if 5B hit ax max range. Combo and pressure filler, however if this move hits as the starter via a frame trap, then this move can deal way more damage than just starting with 5B.

  • Jump cancelable.
  • Launches on hit.

Scythe uppercut that can be jump-canceled for combo follow-ups or to reset pressure. Ruby's only jump-cancelable grounded launcher and thus it is very important for all her bread-and-butter combos. However, this move is locked behind two other normals, has no other normals it can cancel into, can whiff if 5BB hit at max range, and is very unsafe if 5BB was push blocked. Use in pressure at your own risk.

  • Shares the same hitbox and animation as j.C.
  • Airborne around frame 7 - 10.
  • On airborne hit, knockdown.
  • On grounded hit, leads into a timed follow-up.
  • Follow-up damage, meter gain, oki, and timing changes if partner is available.

Forward jump followed by a downward rifle shot. Has higher start-up than most 5C's but also has more range and is safe on block. As Ruby's only grounded overhead, this move will see some use as a surprise overhead. Has low invulnerability and fantastic range, making it a good call out tool against opponents who like to throw out staggered lows carelessly. However, the obvious animation and long start-up makes this move easy to disrespect. Since every attack in Ruby's B Smart Combo is jump cancelable, the only time this should be used mid-blockstring is after 2C, a low normal that lacks a jump cancel.

  • Head invulnerable

Is a little lacking as an anti-air, as it's hitbox is low to the ground. Is still useful as an anti-air, but doesn't excel as one.

Instant overhead.

Instant overhead if used immediately after jumping. Hard knockdown.

Very, very good instant overhead, especially with how many buttons she can jump cancel on block. Midscreen, you need an assist to convert off of this move, but in the corner, you can do a solo combo.

  • Ruby slams her scythe down, then fires two shots, with a delay between the two shots
  • Cancellable into Gunblast on hit

Is an annoying tool for some characters to get around. The initial scythe hit also has a hitbox, and the two shots are staggered, which can making it tough for people to dash in on Ruby. If you active switch from it, your other character can move in under the cover of the shots or easily combo from it if you hit with the inital slam hit.

  • Knocks the opponent airborne and leads to a tech situation on hit

Compared to a lot of other assist projectiles, this one is a bit lackluster. Only being one hit, it can't really beat any other projectiles, but it is still useful for covering approaches.

On hit, it does actually lead to the opponent going airborne and having to tech, which can be really useful if this hits an opponent, since you get a free avenue to getting in.

  • 73f flash, 5+20f to reach max range

Ruby covers herself in her cape before spinning and going through her opponent, delivering multiple slashes after. This distortion is also a good follow up for distortion's that leave the opponent airborne as Ruby will catch them.

In Resonance Blaze, move works the same way, only dealing more hits after initial dash for extra damage. Note that they have the same minimal damage as regular version (160), so it still does decent damage even at the end of heavily scaled combos.

You can DHC into a character with a fast distortion immediately, if they block it, the 2nd character can recover before the end of the distortion leading to a mixup situation while the distortion still has the opponent locked down. On hit the second character can continue the combo, but if you hit the opponent before the last hit, the opponent may tech out or get knocked out of range of the final hit. Wait for final hit before follow up. 20 dollars to the person that can figure out how to build another bar of meter for a 3 distortion combo.
