1-As for my speculation.. look at how effective Ren is while fighting the King Tajitu alone. Just look at his skill level. Then during the battle together with the rest of JNPR and RWBY, he was knocked out in one hit.

2-He also didn't appear with the same skill level in the Vytal Festival Tournament. I'm speculating that Ren is hiding his true potential from the others. 1-When he was fighting the taijitu, he had mostly-full Aura and energy. By the time he fought the Deathstalker, he was far more tired and lower on Aura. Hence why he got KOd so easily.

2-There's a difference between fighting chaotic monsters and fighting other people. Just because one can be good vs the former it doesn't mean one will be just as good against the latter.
