I kinda dismiss Ruby suddenly not using her skills from the Red Trailer as being because she was able to let loose in Red due to being alone. So far in the series, whenever she has wielded Crescent Rose, there have been other people around her. She has to hold back and be more calculated in her strikes and shots, or she could end up causing some collateral damage.

What she said to Weiss in the Emerald Forest was true: "I'm just fine on my own!"
