Deku's the one about to get smashed

Ruby can fight alongside Qrow and scales to him, and Qrow can match Raven, who is superior to Vernal who one-shot Volume 5 Weiss's Arma Gigas, who could easily kill the Queen Lancer, who could survive getting a planeload of dust being thrown into it's face. This dust is capable of freezing the air instantly, meaning basically freezing nitrogen and oxygen well below it's freezing point in a few milliseconds (which is a massive energy output, about 19 tons of TNT). As well as a massive explosion to boot. The Queen Lancer took this face-first with no damage, so Ruby at this point should be many times stronger. Aura also enhances one's durability far above one's own attack potency.

For Deku, in his normal 8% state he lost to Bakugou, who can make about the same size explosion, just without the whole freezing the air part. This equates to roughly 2 tons of TNT. 20% Deku is stronger than Overhaul, who killed Sir Nighteye, who is stronger than rappa, who broke through Red Riot Unbreakable Kirishima's defences with a single punch, who is comparable to Bakugou. So overall, still weaker than Ruby. 100% is where it gets interesting, since he can overpower Muscular, who can create an earthquake large enough to be felt hundreds of meters away, which equates to 86 tons of TNT. Unfortunately, Ruby should be comparable to this due to being many times stronger than the Queen Lancer, and also 100% basically kills Deku onvce he uses it, so it's not a viable ability anyways

Deku can't fly. Idk where you even got that. Ruby, on the other hand, has shown flight in Season 4 Episode 1 against the Petra Gigas, so she's actually the one with a mobility advantage.

Ruby has been fighting all her life, while deku's been fighting for about 2 years. So she should have vastly more fighting experinece than Deku has. And although she's not that good at martial arts, well, neither is Deku. His fighting style was self-created and self-taught, while Ruby's scythe wielding was taught to her by her uncle, Qrow. Plus, Ruby's the only RWBY character so far to actually be confirmed to have bad hand-to-hand fighting. This hasn't been proven to apply to everyone else, so don't say that every character in RWBY is useless without their weapon. Also, how is Deku going to break Crescent Rose when 1. it hasn't broken before, even against far stronger opponents, and 2. she can surround it with her own Aura.

One For All also doesn't increase his durability at all. In fact, the reason why OFA hurts Izuku so much is because his body isn't strong/durable enough to withstand it's full power.

Overall Ruby one-shots Deku and calls it a day
