User blog:ChishioKunrin/RWBY fighting game: My thoughts

Bear with me, since I usually think about fighting games in terms of consoles, rather than PC, as I'm more used to playing them on consoles. I would personally like a more 3D RWBY fighting game than a 2D one, where the stage is 3D and there's more mobility than just side-scrolling.

Now, I think Weiss would be a really good character for the basic controls tutorial, since she uses all three combat types - physical, dust, and aura. Yes, I'm aware that Pyrrha said her glyphs are "semblance", but as far as we know, she said semblance as in "the physical manifestation of her aura". It's easier to put "semblance" in the aura category of controls anyway.

Moving and Physical Attack
We all know how to move and whatnot. The last point on this list will be something we don't usually know.
 * Walk/Run - Left analog stick, of course.
 * Jump - X/A (PS3/Xbox360)
 * Attack - Square/X (PS3/Xbox360)
 * "Flash" - Hold L2/L Trigger and tilt the left analog stick to "flash" to another spot in that direction.

Aura
As Weiss, you can use her aura ("semblance") glyphs as launch pads/platforms and shields. Hold L1/LB (PS3/Xbox360) and press other buttons to utilize her aura. Be sure to keep an eye on your energy meter when using aura.
 * Launch pad - Hold L1/LB and press X/A while tilting the left analog stick in the direction you wish to launch Weiss. You can also hold X/A to stand on the glyph, to allow you time to aim, then release X/A to launch.
 * Shield - Hold L1/LB and press or hold Square/X.

Dust
Hold R2/R Trigger to bring up the dust menu and choose which color dust to equip. Don't worry about being attacked while the dust menu is open. Keep an eye on how much dust the vial you're currently using has. If it becomes empty, Weiss will have to take time to reload another full vial into Myrtenaster's revolver. She will do so the next time you attempt to use a dust attack with the empty vial.
 * Dust blade strike - Hold R1/RB and press Square/X to envelope Weiss's blade in dust for a direct dust strike.
 * Dust wave(?) - Hold R1/RB and hold and release Square/X to send a dust attack toward your enemy.
 * Area of Effect ground strike - Hold R1/RB and press O/B.

Other
Press Triangle/Y for special actions depending on the situation.

Of course, the other characters will have different attacks and such that players will have to learn how to use, but the tutorial would just be for basic controls, like how to attack, how to "flash", how to use aura, how to use dust, etc.
