Talk:Maka Albarn vs. Ruby Rose/@comment-37166424-20181125012151/@comment-38127236-20190113223223

I had to make a new account because the old one wouldn't work for me anymore but, since we're using anime Maka, her scythe abilities can only be used when she's unconscious and Ruby knows enough hand to hand to defend herself temporarily. I know her semblance can't last forever but that does make her faster than Maka and she has more control over it. Maka's witch hunter techniques only work against evil, which Ruby is not. In the red trailer, Ruby was shown to be able to kill an entire pack of beowolves before the bullet casings hit the ground, and in her volume 4 character short, she was able to defeat a beringel on her own. Maka has the superior hand to hand combat abilities, which is easily shown if you compare. Aura is limited but it gives protection. Ruby seems far more skilled with a scythe, and the fact that she got into Beacon 2 years earlier that she was supposed shows how good she is. Ozpin also said her scythe is one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed not to mention the fact it's also a gun. Maka and Ruby are both very smart, but Ruby can make up plans on the spot. Ruby's semblance combined with gravity dust would probably make her too fast for Maka to keep up with. 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. I'm not saying Ruby is invincible, but it seems like she should win. We should also wait for RWBY to be over to fully analyze Ruby. (BTW Maka would be expelled from the DWMA for killing another human being who wasn't a kishin/ evil, not to mention the fact that she herself may become a kishin by killing someone, so even if Ruby can't win at least make the battle a draw so Maka doesn't get kicked out of her school)
