Weiss Reacts to Super Smash Bros!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Now, we're finally going to cover this game that we REALLY should've covered a long time ago- being that I've been playing Brawl RIGHT around since release day and got SSB4 ALSO just as it was released in Europe or around about the same time. Also, be warned of various gripings I might have and theories that may have to do with relatively unknown characters and Ridley.

With that in mind, let's get this chapter started!

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise there'd be a RWBY fighting game already (I'm aware they're working on a game, but I think it's an RPG).

Super Smash Bros belongs to HAL Laboratory, otherwise Isaac from Golden Sun and Ridley would be in.

All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.

"Weeeeiiiiissss..." Ruby slumped her head over Weiss' shoulder as Weiss typed up an essay for schoolwork. "I'm booooooreeeeed!"

Weiss grumbled. "Ruby, can't you see I'm trying to get work done?"

Ruby pouted, staring into her girlfriend's eyes. "Weiss..."

"Q-quit your puppy dog eyes!" The heiress snapped. "I-it isn't going to work, m-moron!"

Ruby's eyes started tearing up. "W-Weiss..."
"RUBY, STOP"

Her pout increased, starting to wobble. "Weeeeiss..."
"..." Weiss closed her eyes, sighing irritably. She clicked save on her work- she was at least satisfied with its quality, even if it wasn't her best. "...you're l-lucky I was d-done with my work anyway, s-stupid."

"Yaaaay!" The reaper hugged her tightly. "I knew you'd come through!"

"Yeah, yeah." Weiss stood up, shoving her chair in. "What do you want to do then?"
"Oh, wait..." Ruby thought carefully. Weiss stared at her, dumbfounded.

"YOU MEAN YOU DISTURBED ME AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A PLAN TO DO SOMETHING?!"

"H-hey!" Ruby jumped, shaking her head and flailing her hands about. "O-of course I had a plan!"

"I swear, Ruby-"

"Wait wait wait!" The reaper held her finger up. "Why don't we play with Yang's Wii U? I'm pretty sure she just got the new Super Smash Bros."

"The one with that boxer guy and Lucina in it?"

"How do you not know who Little Mac is?!" Ruby stared at Weiss, shocked. "Punch-Out was my childhood!"

"You said that about Pokémon, Persona, Final Fantasy-"

Ruby waved her off. "ANYWAY! We must remedy this immediately!"

"I hardly know how to play the game."
"Don't worry, Weiss, I'll teach you how!"

"...riiiight."

The reaper held up a fist proudly. "We're going to grab snacks and drinks and YOU'RE going to play with me!"

"Dear Oum help me." Weiss slapped her forehead with her palm. "Where's Yang? I want to be sure she's nowhere near here so we can play in peace for once in our lives."

"She's off in Vale with Blake." Ruby said, nodding.

"And Nora?"

"She's gone off with that transfer student..." The reaper nodded. "The one with the black hair and the shawl...I think her name was Iris or something? Aaaanyway, she's apparently working with Neptune to make that Tankery club a thing."

"Figures." Weiss rolled her eyes. "Of COURSE Nora would want to bring vehicles that make things blow up in. Won't be surprised if she attaches a railgun to her turret or something...moron..."

"Something tells me you know about this stuff."

"My father got involved in this Tankery nonsense the one time Beacon tried getting involved in it." The heiress sighed irritably. "To this day, he still wants to have a rematch with the Oarai Girls team and the combined Amazon Brigade-Four Horsemen team."

"Soooo...snacks and stuff?"
"Right. Meet you back here in a minute."

Minutes later...

Weiss walked into the second room of the dorm, dropping packs of cookies, vanilla sorbet and self-heating hot chocolate canisters onto the couch next to Ruby, who was busy setting up online multiplayer.

"Where'd you get the hot chocolate?!" Ruby yelped as she grabbed a can and examined it carefully. "I've been hunting for cans of these all over Vale!"
"Apparently Cardin got them as a gift from that Rise he made friends with back when we met her back during Melanie's birthday." Weiss said, shrugging. "She said she wanted everyone to have some, so he decided to give us a couple."
"Imagine how much those would go for, hot chocolate canisters as a gift from a pop idol..." Ruby mused to herself quietly. "It's pretty cool of her to give us some. We're not exactly close friends."

"Maybe Cardin is. Anyway!" The heiress looked over to the screen. "Online?"

"Of course! The best way to play it is online! Or 8-man, but we don't have eight people..." Ruby frowned. "Maybe next time."

"Right." Weiss looked over at the screen. "So, what mode are we playing?"

"With Friends. I think some of our friends might actually be on!" Ruby said cheerfully, logging on.

"Okay...so Ren's on, Jaune's on..." The reaper looked surprised. "Huh, I didn't know Miss Honda played this...Cinder, duh...Glynda?!"

"I'm not even surprised." Weiss said, shrugging.

"...wait...there's...who's Ushio?" Ruby blinked. "I don't think she knows an Ushio. We can play with her right now, too."
"I don't know, I don't think she's-" Weiss began to warn Ruby, but this 'Ushio' had already invited them to a game.

"Huh?" Ruby tilted her head. "Okay...should we play with her?"

"...eh." The heiress shrugged. "Let's do it."

They went straight to character select. Apparently, 'Ushio' had two players on her side, because players 1 and 2 had already picked Robin and Lucina.

Weiss rubbed her chin, before turning to Ruby. "How do I pick a character? And how do I move?"
"Um...give me. I'll even name you on here so we can tell who's who." Ruby showed her the controls before fiddling with them slightly. "...I really should've thought this through..."

"No, it's fine Ruby." Weiss sighed, before picking Marth.

"...what a typical generic blue swordsman..." The heiress muttered disdainfully.

"...you're crushing on Marth, aren't you."
"What?! Of c-course not!" Weiss glared at her. "S-stupid!"

She muttered aside to herself. "I much prefer Lucina anyway...n-not that I LIKE her, o-or anything..."

"What was that, Weiss?" Ruby put her hand to her ear.

"Nothing. Just pick your stupid character already..."

Ruby decided to pick Little Mac, and 'Ushio' started the game, selecting Final Destination as their stage.

"...Final Destination?" Ruby shrugged. "Eh. Could be worse."

"Oh dear Oum." Weiss looked somewhat irritated. "I have a feeling I'm not going to like this."

"Just wait and see."

The game started. The other two players were labelled as 'Robin' and 'Lucina', while Weiss and Ruby were 'SCHNEE' and 'ROSE'.

'Robin' immediately dived towards Weiss, making her mash the controls frantically in an attempt to protect herself.

"RUBY! HELP!"
"G-gah!" Ruby moved herself over to protect Weiss, as Little Mac threw a punch at Robin on screen, sending him flying. Weiss sighed irritably.

"T-this game is too fast-paced..."

"You'll get used to it eventually. Behind you!"

"W-wha-" Weiss was interrupted as she stared at herself being knocked out by 'Lucina's' sudden charged stab. She grumbled.

"S-stupid moron! I-I wasn't ready!"

Suddenly, 'Robin' had a chat bubble appear on his head, saying "NICE JOB DEAR." 'Lucina' apparently responded by saying "THANK YOU LOVE".

Ruby giggled. "They're roleplayers too? This is hilarious. I love this Ushio person!"

"...I already hate her..." The heiress muttered. "...uuuggghhh! HOW CAN LUCINA COUNTER ME WHAT IN DUST IS THIS!"

"...you have to time your attacks, Weiss-"
"THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I'M ON ONE LIFE ALREADY! OUT OF FIVE!"

"Um..." Ruby casually knocked out Robin again. "...it's not exactly hard...they're playing on your level, basically."
"Come on!" Weiss snapped. "T-this is STUPID! A-and HOW DID ROBIN HEAL OFF OF ME?!"

"Nosferatu-"
"T-that's not fair! Dammit, I'm out of the game!" Weiss grumbled and set her controller down forcefully, grumbling. "S-stupid game..."

'Robin' and 'Lucina' exchanged messages again; "HUG ME SEMPAI" and "I LOVE YOU" respectively.

Ruby giggled for a little, before staring at the screen with determination.

"Oh...it's on."

Ruby then proceeded to stomp 'Robin' and 'Lucina' by herself, barely taking any damage.

She rubbed Weiss' arm comfortingly, humming the victory fanfare quietly to herself.
"Oh, don't worry, Weiss..." The reaper reassured her with a smile and a kiss on the cheek. "You'll do better next time."

"...fine..." The heiress said, crossing her arms and blushing. "B-but don't get the wrong idea, I-I think this game is stupid! I-I'm just playing it b-because y-you asked me to, y-you dunce..."

"I'm sure of that." Ruby giggled. "Let's play them one more time."

Seconds later...

"WHAT IS THIS STUPID STAGE" Weiss yelled angrily.

"W-WarioWare!" Ruby flinched away from Weiss.

"THEN WHY ARE THESE MORONS INVINCIBLE"

"Because they passed the minigame."

"YOU MEAN THERE'S A MINIGAME?!"

"It's WarioWare! What did you expect?"

The heiress glared as an invincible enlarged Robin and an metal Lucina wailed on her Marth once more. "T-this game is rigged..."

"Trust me, there's going to be more minigames." Ruby said reassuringly. "You'll win those."

"Hopefully...oh, oh, here's one!" Weiss said, somewhat hopeful to win this one. "...don't move? Pretty si-WHAT WHERE DID THAT LIGHTNING BOLT COME FROM"

She moved, losing the minigame. Weiss growled.

"S-stupid! T-this game is rigged!"
"...that's weird, that usually doesn't happen..." Ruby rubbed her chin, confused.

"What kind of s-stupid antics are they using?!"

"It's just being really well timed."

"I can barely make sense of these controls, too!" The heiress snapped, mashing the controls. "I'm trying to use that stupid counter move Marth supposedly has but I keep slashing around like a moron! W-what is this?!"
"Um...you need to press down for that..." Ruby reminded her sheepishly.

"SERIOUSLY"

Not surprisingly, they lost this game.

Weiss seethed, furiously munching on a vanilla sorbet while reflecting on her loss.

Ruby just thought it was adorable, resisting the urge to coo to her.

"Awww...Weiss...don't get so down..."
"I'm not. I-it's just t-that this stupid game is stupidly unfair." The heiress muttered.
The reaper frowned. "Hm...maybe we could try just fighting basic AI. That would be more up your alley, right?"
"I suppose." Weiss exhaled. "Fine, bring it. I'll use Mario this time- at least he doesn't seem incredibly complicated like Marth..."
Ruby raised a finger to protest. "Marth's not that complicated-"
"SHUSH YOU"

"Eeeep!" The reaper cringed away from Weiss. "Sowwy..."

"...damn your cuteness..." Weiss grumbled as she gave her a hug. "It's fine...I'm not angry at you..."

Ruby merely sighed happily being hugged. "So warm..."

Weiss finally relinquished her after several moments. "Okay, basic AI?"
"On the most basic map. We'll do Battlefield. We'll even do Jigglypuff and Mario as the enemies. It'll be easy for you."
"I suppose..." The heiress thought carefully. "...fine. Let's do it."

"Okay!" Ruby smiled. "Let's get ready to brawl!"

...

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE" Weiss yelled as Jigglypuff knocked her out with Rest, of all moves, sending her flying for the fourth time.

Ruby chuckled nervously. "Um...you kinda stood still...but how the AI managed that..."
"You said these were basic AI, Ruby!" Weiss said accusingly.

"They're level one!"

"T-they d-don't FEEL level one! What is this?!" The heiress was then slugged off the stage by Mario punching her off it, knocking her out of the game.

"COME ON!"

Ruby sighed, shaking her head. "Okay, let's try it again..."

They tried it with slightly weaker characters, over and over and over again, for the next fifteen minutes...until...

"FINALLY!" Weiss pumped her fist as King Dedede ("He's a PENGUIN king with a hammer! He HAS to be the most superior character in this game!"), her currently selected character, knocked out Jigglypuff. "I FINALLY got a stupid KO in this game!"

Ruby smiled, cheering for her.

"Nicely done!"
"I have CONQUERED this game!" The heiress declared. "Soon...not even Yang will be able to-"
"To what?" Yang had the fortune of walking in that precise moment, waving at them. Ruby nodded to her.

"We were just playing your Super Smash Bros. Hope you didn't mind."
"Course not." The brawler shrugged, taking up a seat next to Ruby and a remote. "Whatcha doing?"

"Just teaching Weiss how to play."

"Indeed." Weiss nodded. "I have FINALLY found a game WORTHY of my respect! And with King Dedede, I shall FINALLY declare myself better at a game than you that ISN'T Civilization!"

Yang grinned at her. "Really now, Weiss?"

"Huh?"

"Is that a challenge~?" She inquired teasingly, waving her remote.

Weiss folded her arms. "I suppose it is, Yang. I suppose it is."
"Very well then. Final Destination, no items. I'd say Fox only, but I'll leave that one for Velvet." The brawler declared. "Let's go, then."
"...suddenly, I'm not feeling too confident..." The heiress felt a sweatdrop roll down her temple. "But fine...let's go!"

Seconds later...

"...Meta Knight is so stupid." Weiss grumbled as the screen showed the aforementioned blue masked knight in a victory pose with King Dedede in the background.

"I mean, HOW?! HOW DOES HE RECOVER SO QUICKLY?!"

"Looks like your precious Penguin King wasn't so awesome after all." Yang said, giggling. "What's next?"

"T-two can play at that game!" Weiss declared. "Rematch!"

"It's on, Weissy~" Yang responded, grinning. "Meta Knight versus Meta Knight. You're on."
"I happen to have learned a LOT from Ruby..." The heiress stated proudly. "...and I WILL beat you."
"Keep dreaming. That's about as likely as Mami or Ridley joining the Smashers." Yang said, sighing. "No matter how many letters I send in..."

"Y-you..." Weiss glared at her. "I WILL BEAT YOU!"

More seconds later...

Weiss stared at the screen in dumb shock. She'd lost, having been killed four times by Yang. The last time was by herself, having accidentally flown off stage.

"...screw this, I'm done." The heiress slapped her remote onto the couch and stormed out. Ruby sighed and dropped hers.

"Weiss! Wait!"

"I-is she mad at me?" Yang inquired, somewhat serious for once.

"No...no, just the game. " The reaper stated. "...just wait for it..."
"I HATE THIS GAME" Weiss' yell could be heard from the corridor. The reaper frowned. "I'll go after her. Do you wanna play after?"
"Eh, sure." Yang shrugged, pulling out a bag of chips and opening it. "I'm open."

"Okay!" Ruby ran off, leaving Yang to muse as she attempted to pacify her rampant girlfriend.

Yang rubbed her chin, thinking to herself for a moment.

"...you know, another tournament amongst us wouldn't be a bad idea." The brawler declared. "...hm...I'll have to plan it slightly better, though. Definitely more chapters, too.

Hm."

END

A/N: Not my best work, but...eh. Next chapter, Nora Reacts to Tankery! I'm sure if you guessed who this 'Iris' actually is, you've already guessed part of what next chapter's inevitable climactic showdown is going to be. By the way, an Internet Weiss Plushie and a shout out from me next chapter if you figure out who they are!

Also, time for an awesome announcement.

Back in December, I contacted the Moczo siblings, writers of the Agents of Beacon series, for permission to do a chapter on their stories. Just this Sunday, they responded saying they'd love to be featured. So...Agents of Beacon is a-go! Thanks, guys! You're awesome!

So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, criticisms, reviews, thoughts, comments and suggestions, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
