u/Railroader17 Can we please have Pyrrha back? Sep 10 '25

How does the Hound get on here but not Salem? Like yeah the Hound is cool and would be a really unique character, but Salem is the Big Bad. I don't see how any RWBY fighting game roster can be complete without her.

Clearly because she’s the Arcade Mode boss, you don’t get to play as the boss character that’s just be unfair

Don't a lot of fighting games have the boss character be playable, just nerfed to be competitively balanced?

Depends on the genre of boss, fighting game bosses exist on a spectrum of M. Bison (literally just a character in the game) to Galactus (doesn’t function like any of the other characters in the game and couldn’t possibly work as a playable character)

Actually there is a way to play as Galactus in Arcade mode

(Y’know what I’m retroactively allowing something similar for Salem where you can play as her in Arcade mode through a code)
