Talk:Battle Pages/Team RWBY vs. Ace-Ops/@comment-34724302-20200202200049/@comment-4010415-20200202214355

The Ace-Ops were conflicted with each other, weren't on the same page, and didn't work together, whereas Team RWBY used teamwork and protected each other. For example, it's possible that Marrow could have started taking control of the fight if Ruby hadn't stopped his boomerang from hitting Weiss.

On top of that, Team RWBY had been training with the Ace-Ops for perhaps weeks, if not longer, and were thus somewhat familiar with the Ace-Ops' fighting styles and abilities.

Blake distracted Elm so that Yang could destroy the floor, making Elm's Semblance useless. Yang had seen what Elm's rocket launcher is capable of in Mantle and knew to change her course of action as soon as Elm whipped it out.

During the training montage, we saw Ruby and Harriet racing each other in circles, which means that Ruby had some practice with trying to keep up with Harriet.

Ruby was, indeed, exaggerating in her boast about being the new best in Atlas because of the Ace-Ops training them, but their training did help them know at least a little about how to face the Ace-Ops. They're not better than the Ace-Ops, but they knew what they were doing more than they had before their training.
