Alright just got back let's do this.

1) Ulric's armor is almost a non entity, as aura covers everything including armor it means it's very nearly a non factor

2) You are massively, and seriously underestimating, exactly how much shit, Liath is going to throw at you, like tsu said,and myself, he's literally an artillery. Like you said, Ulric isn't fast, nor slow, cool, good luck dodging literally everything that's being thrown at him.

3) Good counter to orion's first and most obvious strat, but I still think that you're underestimating exactly how versatile and powerful his semblance is, is he always stronger than Ulric? NO can he be stronger than him for long enough to counter his attacks? YES. If this devolved into CQC then Orion has two shotguns mounted onto his blades with which to strike and shoot at Ulric, while maintaining what I would call a faster base speed than him. I do agree that up close and personal it's a close match, but I think his utility in his weapon and semblance give him and edge, shotguns are dangerous man, and these are essentially explosions.

4) If Ulric goes after Liath he's leaving his back open to Orion who could very well end him. Even if Orion doesn't I feel like Liath has more than enough tools to fight someone who is SOLELY CQC when he can just jump back and continue to bombard him. Remember nov said Liath IS NOT a stationary fighter. TL;DR Liath can kite him for days.

5) Onto Virdis, Like Tsu said his arrows would be a pain, if they weren't easily dodge-able, it's a fact of RWBY that people dodge bullets with ease. now if we switch opponents and Orion goes after Virdis. Virdis would either have to kite Orion who I would say has a respectable base speed as he is a nimble fighter it is possible for some kiting to occur however he has to take the time to aim and fire each arrow which gives Orion time to response. IMO when he fires Orion activates his semblance and jumps in a random direction avoids the arrow and continues on, I might be wrong here but I don't feel entirely wrong in pitching that scenario. If Orion get's in close I feel semi-confident in assuming he'd beat Virdis up.

6) I need to harp on about this again, Orion and Liath are best friends, partners, and teammates, they have a level of co-ordination which simply doesn't exist between Ulric and Vidris. I feel like this gives them a edge in the fight

7) Something you've forgotten about Orion is that he's a CQC expert to with some close-mid range abilities, he's used to being up close and personal. As tsu said, counter goading wouldn't work Orion would laugh it off it's who he is, he isn't an easy person to shake up. He is both reckless and unpredictable meaning he will often switch up tactics or try new attacks or approaches. Not saying it's an advantage but it is something to think about for the fight.

8) Just a quick scenario, Orion is being attacked by Ulric, he kites back, just ut of hs reach, and Ulric follows, keeps kiting and Liath opens up with artillery, is a perfect strat, no but it's something they can do as a team, with the co-ordination they have.

Sorry if i seem to come off as rude, I am honestly not trying to, but sometimes I write in a way which puts that across, for that I apologize and it is not intentional.
