You realize how much easier it was on the development team to reuse the same animations? Remember Rooster teeth isn't some large budget production company. Also Blake never wrapped Gambol Shroud around an Atlisian Paladin, or threw her weapon into the cockpit.

Also Monty Oum himself said that Velvet's team really apprecites her skills. Skills as in plural, besides as someone who has took a Martial arts class I can tell you that when you learn a new technique, your shown the move, then you try to imitate untill you have a good solid grasp of it. Even then some techniques show up in mutiple diciplines due to overall effectiveness. The High and lows blocks in both Kempo Karate and Tia Kwon Do look the same as well.

Velvet is obviously good at imitating the styles she seen even without sharingun eyes. During the fight with the Paladin she improvised and wrapped up the Paladin then threw the Wirefram Gambol Shroud before going for another weapon. Proving she can deviate and use the weapons in ways the owners haven't used them yet.
