1 - She was KO'd by a WF grunt. OP? I think not.

2 - All I was saying was Merc had skill to stop a person moving as fast as Ruby was. Most can't keep up with her. No matter where she comes at them from.

3-She can be stopped if the person has the reflects and experience and strength. Which he did even if it was once.

4 - Not even sure how much training everyone has done in 6 months. Most characters are likely the same age as they were before.

5-When I see Jaune drop a Giest Golem alone then I'll say they've really become crazy OP in the time skip.

6 - Yang landed some serious hits on him and dropped his aura.

7-So I think what Coco and Yatsuhashi lack in speed they made up for in strength and range.

8 - Stick to facts? I thought it was hypnotism, so I was getting off the facts, I was going by what I thought it was. 1-....SHE HAD JUST FALLEN WHO-KNOWS-HOW-MANY-METERS, AND LANDED ON HER BACK. Her Aura was, if not 0%, then very damn close to it.

2&3-And you either missed my point or dismissed it outright. She was moving towards him. He didn't even need to do anything to hit her, she would've crashed into him anyway.

If you see a ball moving in a straight line towards you, so that all you need to do to catch it is rise your hands, then it hardly takes any skill. Now, if the ball was moving to the side instead, then it does take more skill. Alas, that was not the case back then.

You try to argue that Merc could catch her, stop her. But the thing you use as proof, was a moment where he needed no reflexes, experiences, or even skill to do so.

4-Watch Character Short.

5-He's getting there.

6-Did you forget the fact that Merc losing was part of the plan? Besides, Yang is much faster than Coco and Yatsu.

7-Strength and Range are meaningless when you cannot hit the target. Which, for the greater most part of that fight, was the case. Because, they were both too slow.

8-....It's in her character page, for starters.
