Talk:Maka Albarn vs. Ruby Rose/@comment-24780629-20160118035428/@comment-25620113-20160118070151

I think she can use a less powerful version because she obviously has more control over it this time as well as being able to use it in short bursts and her cloak leaves a smaller trail this time than in Season 2 implying that she is going slower. Yes Ruby has a definite reason to go all-out but remember this is  Ruby  we are talking about. She is extremely naive and always sees the best in people. She's not the type to wish vengence on people. Also she has just realized that Merc is OK. At this point she is just trying to process what is happening. She's confused and just trying to understand what is going on. Besides just because Merc was able to block it doesn't mean Ruby's had a nerf in speed. It just means Merc has extremely fast reactions. Remeber this is the same guy who was able to dodge point blank gunfire from a gatling gun and was also able to beat Yatsuhashi 1v1. However there is an explanation that you can't rebut: RoosterTeeth is extremely inconsistent at animation.
