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. 1) I have no aura and I can take a hit to the stomach. She's a superhuman. And they still let you know she's a glass jaw when it comes to taking heavy hits.

2+3) I know your point. My point is: 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. 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. A loveable everyman. They'll never make him OP because he's suppose to be John Q. Public watching the show. Finding out about everyone just as slowly as the watcher is.

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. He could've let he punch him out of the ring any number of times. But he waited and let it go just far enough. Likely out of his enjoyment of fighting.

8) 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. Besides, to me hallucination and hypnotism caused by someone's powers in a anime/cartoon seems the same.
