2 Countering each other make the battles like rock paper scissors.

3-It's better to counter each other to keep the audience on it's toes too. Because they'll wonder who can counter the new guy.

4-Then it's SURPRISE, that guy who thought was weak, he's not weak, he's great at one thing and that's what we need for this villains. 1-....You realize Gundam is a franchise about WAR, and has been since it's very beginnings? RWBY isn't even slightly on the same line as Gundam. Think about the kinds of animes Miles, Kerry and Monty used "to study", 9/10 were Shonen animes, many being JUMP shonen series.

Naruto, FMA, Bleach, DBZ, that's the kind of things we should expect, since that's the kind of thing they watched to have an idea of what to do with RWBY. Don't expect things to be like Gundam, a franchise about WAR which focuses on pointing out that War is Pointless Hell. RWBY is not that kind of show.

2-You mean based on blind-luck and guessing? Because that's what R-P-S is.

3-But then the new guy doesn't seem like much of a threat, because the heroes will have a counter making said counter's fights with the new guy one-sided unless the writers pull bullshit to make said new guy defeat his supposed counter.

4-In other words, you want an Aquaman, a guy who is only useful when the plot demands it, for things that said guy just happens to be useful for. ''That's not a good idea. Plain and simple. It's one of the reasons Aquaman used to be such a joke. He was only useful when the plot required it, and that required the episode's plot to be written to specifically make him useful.''
