When has it ever been said it has a maximum output of 200%? And don't try to say "Taiyang said it", that was pretty much the same as Qrow saying Ruby's Semblance is just bursting into rose petals, or Nora's Semblance is just absorbing electricity.

Basically, when Taiyang said "twice as hard", he didn't mean literally twice as hard. He said it to express the basic idea: She gets hit, gets energy, can then hit back harder.

@DA: I think I recall reading some old posts mentioning an idea like that: That a child's Semblance is more likely to have at least some similarities with their parent's Semblances, even if just on the visual aspect.

That said, there was also the idea of insect faunus being impossible. And faunus with venomous stingers being even more impossible.

My point: Those ideas are just that: Ideas. We don't actually know factually if they are the case or not.

And speaking of things we know or don't know............a general question at the people here, just to refresh my mind: We mention the idea of Semblances reflecting personality quite often. Has that ever been actually confirmed?

The best I can recall is Blake associating her Semblance with her self-perceived cowardice. But that didn't sound at all like a fact, rather it sounded more like self-deprecation.

And Qrow......he's like the inverse in comparison. His personality seems more influenced by his Semblance than the other way around.
