1. Y'know that might've been believeable... if Tyrian's first reaction to seeing Qrow was showing that he clearly knew who the fuck he was. That kinda implies that Qrow and what he is capable of known and acknowledged by Salem and more importantly, Tyrian. Treating him like he's not a threat and ignoring him with this knowledge is quite frankly asinine.

He might be better at h2h than one would assume, but that's irrelevant. Confident or not, Tyrian ignoring Qrow just because he was disarmed is stupid.

2. Except if one where to counter any of those four limbs with his weapons, that turns a defensive move into an offensive one. The same benefit isn't carried over to a weapon on weapon fight. Predictability isn't too much of a benefit when you don't gain that much and sacrifice a lot of damage potential to do so.

Oh yes, the crazy underling of the Queen of Monsters is really going to be intimidated by a guy who he managed to disarm and only suffered a few digs fron. Real believable. Waiting for your opponent to get their weapon which would only distract them from you for mere moments and risks them regaining their stronger fighting style and potential is still stupid.

3. A badass doesn't stop being a badass when they get hit or make a mistake, that's hyperbole. But when they act fucking stupid, it will be pointed out that they acted fucking stupid. Or do you think people shouldn't point out and criticise obvious and unbelievable mistakes made and say how ridiculous they are?

If a mistake is understandable and beliveable that they would make it, it earns less criticism due to being well handled. Ruby acted like an idiot and I will criticise her for that, but she's been through shit to justify her feelings and actions. Qrow protecting Ruby is understandable, but not directing his attention back to Tyrian immediately after doing so is stupid and a mistake that's hard to believe he would make in that situation. Tyrian not withdrawing his tail immediately is another stupid mistake for a character of his experience and skill level.

A badass doesn't have to be perfect because, as you say, that would get boring quickly. However, is it too much to ask that their mistakes and failings be understandable and not fucking ridiculous in the scenario they make it?
