Then look at Yang's arc, she had this whole speech given by Tai telling her to go around problems and misdirect/ect.... and she did that in one fight against noob bandits... then she goes all bullheaded into the final fights and the most "around" she shows is disarming herself literally... not dodging pretty much at all, just dropping her weapon as though she was being charged with a fetch or time trial quest... which she wasn't. Had she not been lucky enough Cinder and Vernal were down and Raven didn't want to fight she by all rights should have died and failed... I am so dissapointed her combat skill growth wasn't really shown at all... i Ok, I have to ask: how were you expecting any of the kids would hold a candle to Raven or Cinder? They are older, far more experienced and had maiden powers. I don't know what is Vernal's age, but she was way better than Weiss (who was really incompetent fighting Vernal, but still). So I'm guessing Vernal wasprobably a bit older and probably had better training - the intention was to win without giving up the game that she was not the Spring Maiden, so basically they had to be completely sure she could do it without suffering much (preferably any) damage. You want an asspull and our heroes becoming much stronger in a ridiculously short amount of time? The villains and other antagonists spent years getting stronger, one of them with Salem (probably more). And most of them seem to have done because they needed it to survive, which is very different than training because you like it and because you want to be huntress for living.
