Talk:Maka Albarn vs. Ruby Rose/@comment-37166424-20181125012151/@comment-3463132-20190114021640

@Ashley Paragraphs are very useful for dividing up information and making it easier to read.

"since we're using anime Maka"

Deathbattle uses anime in addition to source material, not instead of, just want that clear. Anime Maka would never gain priority or cancel out Manga Maka abilities. You say you haven't read the manga so let me be clear- the anime doesn't cover even half of Maka's abilities.

"In the red trailer, Ruby was shown to be able to kill an entire pack of beowolves before the bullet casings hit the ground"

This means little because she's also producing winds and ejecting the casings an unknown amount of distance up.

"In the red trailer, we see her use gravity dust alone which makes her too fast to even see, now combine that with her semblance and Maka might not even be able to touch her"

Maka and company have been making mach cones for like 80% of the manga and been fighting bullet-timers since Black Star's opening chapter and onwards. FTE is not quantifiable and never will be.

"I'm not saying Ruby is invincible, but it seems like she should win."

I will point out the anime doesn't include most of Maka's powers and outright changes the plot roughly 20% of the way into the manga before going its own way. Maka in the manga can slice through energy blasts that blow apart mountain-tops and she gains Crona's Black Blood ability- that thing that lets you block bladed attacks and magical bullets with almost total impunity.

You would very much benefit from reading the manga instead of analyzing her with only the anime. This is true for most manga characters but especially ones where the anime heavily deviated from the source material such as Soul Eater.
