Ruby Rose has a chance against Akuma because of her abilities and her absolute fabulousness in absolutely everywhere, especially in battle. While Akuma may start out with the speed advantage, Ruby can keep up with her semblance which allows her to increase her speed, making it look like shes teleporting and appearing out of thin air, which may allow her to match Akuma or even outspeed him in terms of speed, as she was able to escape Mercury Black with it, and even catch Neopolitan offguard. Her scythe will also help as it also doubles as a rifle, and it doesn't just fire normal bullets. It fires dust rounds with massive force. Logically, Scythes also have a longer reach than fists do.

Also, she has an ultra rare ability that is related to her Silver Eyes, which may possibly allow her to freeze Akuma and go in for the K.O. Afterall, it freezed a Dragon, so why not a Street fighting Demon? I mean, she's just a girl, so it's not like Akuma will go all out on her.

I'm not surprised if Ruby loses lol, think she's outmatched but still, vote for RWBY's best girl!
