2) For him to register where she was going and react in time is awesome. She's moving at super speed. Even if she's going straight. She moves like a fastball. He has to process what was heppening and he did.

3-Besides, when he fought Yang, she's not slow and he kept up with her. He has skill and experience enough to hang with Ruby in a fight.

4) The one with her fighting the Beniger apes? I saw that. Good shit. She was awesome. But did that seem OP to you. Just seemed like she had her usually skill but with more endurance now.

5) Bullshit. Jaune is a comedy character.

6) He threw the fight but part of that seemed like he legit was getting into it. If he wanted to throw the fight he could have ended it BEFORE doing that being breakdance tornado.

7) I never read it, so again, don't assume I'm changing the facts. I simply was referring to it what I saw it as.

8) Besides, to me hallucination and hypnotism caused by someone's powers in a anime/cartoon seems the same. 1-They are only superhuman because of Aura. Without Aura, they are nothing special. They can only do the shit they do, and take the hits they do, because Aura. Without it? Normal people.

And having Aura doesn't mean they don't get tired, or don't feel pain, because they do. Ruby was very weakened back then, had no Aura to protect her, so it's no surprise she got easily KOd at that moment. It's the same as punching a teen during a hangover.

2-It's not impressive in the slightest given how clear it was. He's not a deer, he saw her moving towards him, he inmediately rises his leg to kick her because even a baby can tell that's all he needed to do to hit her.

3-Because Yang and Ruby definitely fight exactly the same way.......except they don't. Completely different weapons, abilities, and fighting styles. Keeping up with Yang doesn't mean anything regarding Ruby.

4-Beringel. And my point was, that RWBY, at least Ruby, has definitely improved a lot in those 6 months. Her Semblance went from just dashing around, to turning into multiple rose petal storms simultaneously, for starters.

5-....................When I said "he's getting there", I meant he's training to become a badass like the rest. Could he take a Geist in Petra-Gigas form in one slash someday? Maybe, maybe not, but he's getting there.

6-He was supposed to lose the fight, but it needed to be believable....the idea was to take advantage of how easily she gets angry when beaten up. If he just gave up or let her finish him quickly and easily, the plan wouldn't have worked well.

But by giving her a fight, she gets angry enough, so when she "sees" Merc trying to sucker-kick her after winning, she instinctively breaks his leg.

7-I do assume you are at least aware of what's commonly-known as true. Hence, I assume you know what Emerald's confirmed Semblance was: Hallucinations.

8-Hypnotism in anime/cartoons is more like brainwashing/mind control than anything Emerald ever did, which was making people see what wasn't there.
