Crimson wasn't just as good as Glinda, she outright outclasses her opponent in terms of sheer power, and perhaps just better overall because she was fighting a defensive battle (to protect the helicopter) on shaky footing and still managed to get away with it (though it's also partly thanks to Torchwick's fast reactions). Perhaps the only way Glinda was better than Crimson was her craftiness and intelligent manipulation of the Dust.
