But I believe you're thinking of the short-range teleport near the START of the Red Trailer, when the Beowolves first try to pounce on her. She even disappears with accompanying rose petals!

Also, Weiss used pretty much the same gesture when she used her "air jump" as she did in the white trailer: finger to Myrtenaster, then towards her feet. This would suggest to me that Dust (for the most part) needs a focus of some sort - a weapon or piece of clothing, for instance.

don't mind me, just rambling... ❝I would have to agree with you on the first part, but your second I wasn't referring to the beginning with the cloak. I was talking about the ending when she suddenly went into hyper-mode and speed was something else. Because when I saw Yang do pretty much the same thing just before that final hit to Junior I remembered what Ruby did and I figured it was like a special power between them or something.

I felt the same about Wiess, but not with her finger to Myrtenaster, because I believe that it how she has to activate it (her White dust) or she uses it to aim. But if you notice when Wiess first rushes to attack the Armor, she doesn't use anything, she just pulls out Myrtenaster and glides to it. It's not like running or even flashstep, she just moves. But yeah, I think perhaps it might just need a focus. Although something in the back of my head, keeps telling me that some people may have dust in their blood....❞
