>RWBY does neither really.
>RWBY isn't.
Sure, but it could have done, even in the context of the universe we already have. It could have been a monster of the week stuff, like capeshit, in which RWBY has to deal with petty crimes and small crime lords as part of their training. It could also have been about the crew going around different regions of the kingdom and interacting with the locals and fixing stuff and fighting the villains. It could have been many things, the problem is that it had shit writers and shit world building from day one. Even if it was like capeshit, or Atlantis, they still needed to do a good 4-man dynamic for the team to work.

Yeah, that is also one that can work, though the Star Wars team had other members, like C3PO + R2D2, Chewbacca which technically is a character and not just an extension of Han, and princess Leia.

I haven't watched HxH, and only seen YYH whenever I caught it on TV, but from what I remember in YYH, they almost never thought as a 4-man team. In the arc preceding the tournament arc, they did the fights in rotation, in the tournament arc they did solo fights, after that with those gimmicky new characters, they still did fights one on one. I am sure there were fights where all four of them had to co-operate at the same time, but from what I remember it was mostly 1v1. In my opinion for a four-man team to properly work, they should be able to do most of their fights as a team, as they complement each other with their fighting styles and abilities. That one's advantages should compensate for the other's drawbacks.
Also you should learn to format your posts a bit better, it was extremely hard to understand what you were saying.
If I were to give an example of a good four-man team from anime(not necessarily the best one), it would be Konosuba. It works because they all have drastically different personalities and interests(one wants to be a NEET, one wants him to succeed so she can go back to heaven, one wants to blow up stuff, and one wants to get beaten by monsters). Kazuma, the leader, while being the newcomer, who needs to be taught stuff, is the sensible one and has to manage his problem children, sadly he has shit stats so he doesn't have access to OP abilities. Aqua is the lore-fag and healer(knows resurrection), but has a flat 70 IQ, brings bad luck, and will loose all their money on gambling and alcohol, so she's useless. Megumin, is the strongest wizard, but only knows one spell that she can only use once per day, after which she will be unable to move. The spell can destroy anything, but she will use it on the first target she sees, and not on the boss of the dungeon, so she's useless. Darkness is a warrior that can't hit shit with the sword(not even stationary targets), but has high HP and wants to get beaten and tortured b monsters, because she is a masochist, so she's useless. They all have different drawbacks, and some advantages, as such Kazuma has to manage all of them in a fight to properly use their abilities. There are plenty of fights were they have to work as a team, so they all get their chance to shine. One more thing, is because their personalities are so different group dynamics and banter are excellent and it's a pleasure to see them interact with each other.
>inb4 Konosuba is a comedy, which RWBY isn't
That's not the point, was just talking about four-man team compositions, and how they can work.
