There's a guy who can literally do that- Augustine or something?

Anyways, a semblance cancelling semblance, while useful, is simply not comparable to the advantages granted by other semblances like Phyrra's polarity.

Sentry is right- since RWBY is oriented around weapons, powers have less importance. This means that a semblance like Pyrrha's, fulfills the Redjack role much better, because she is able to not only increase her mobility and defense, but also lower the fighting ability of her opponents.

Another point to consider- semblances are supposed to use aura, so you would end up lowering your concentration and your aura reserves every time you used your semblance (unless it's some passive bs).

Finally, the fact that semblances are based off of personality would mean that the user of this semblance would most likely be a bad guy AKA Marcus. I don't think there would be many good guys with this semblance.
