Sourced from Artsation -- Nol is one of the artists on FRWBY (also provided vocals for the V7 OP) and I thought she lived on twitter but found her Artstation by happenstance!

I'm actually no good at fighting games either, but some of the fight scenes in RWBY just read so much like a cutscene from a fighting game that I can't unsee it. Something like a 3d fighting game like Soul caliber or Tekken. I can't really see RWBY being a tactics type game though, the action in the show is too high-flying and extreme for that kind of genre. It might work for a good story or set piece but idk how much of the essence of RWBY it would capture. I have not seen Grimm Eclipse, nor any other RWBY content outside Chibi and the main series (and that one RWBY book I read), but if you got a video on it send it my way. DMC type game might work but again that's a series I've not played yet so I can't speak on it too much. A beat em up might work, like with the Grimm as foes but like you said Grimm are a total non-threat.
I did not know about any of that! Considering the very limited amount I know about Japanese culture, what you said makes a ton of sense. Maybe RT might be black listed but what about, uhhh Viz I think? They're the ones who bought RT right? Whichever company it was.
