Talk:Ruby Rose vs Scout/@comment-44289584-20191114154804/@comment-31067519-20191114225916

Thing is, Ruby's aura still lets her take a bigger hit, and she's far less smug and overconfident about her abilities whereas Scout will DEFINITELY underestimate her. Scout already thinks he's above both his enemies and his allies, including Spy and Heavy who already appear menacing, but seeing that his opponent is a teen girl waving around an oversized anime weapon will make him even more dangerously cocky and assured of his victory. There's also the fact that Ruby doesn't at all rely solely on Crescent Rose's sniper rifle mode, the moment she sees that Scout can dodge the shots she can easily utilize her superior speed to catch up to him and engage with him melee style. As strong as Scout is, oversized scythe beats a regular bat in both range and deadliness (not to mention Ruby has displayed far greater actual close-range combat skill with Crescent Rose than Scout does with his bats). Sure, Scout can launch the Heavy and his enormous gun 80 feet, but Ruby was strong enough to drag a Nevermore easily comparable in size to an elephant up a steep cliff; that's definitely comparable, if not outright superior to Scout, and that was right around the start of the show.
