Fair enough and sorry if I come across as agressive. I just find it easier to get my point across when I put emphasis on things agressively. It sticks to people's minds more.

But the problem of Cinder/Weiss/Winter using their semblances in something like a smokescreen is that they can't see who is where. It falls into the same problem with Pyrrha/Glynda in that there's too many variables where things can go wrong. Cinder was lucky to find Emerald. Everything worked out only because her semblance requires (as far as we know) eyesight on the people she is affecting. There are no other variables for Emerald to consider in order to cheat. The only difference is that in the tournament, CMEN only cared about how those affected by her semblance react to them rather than winning(Yang punching in a specific way, Pyrrha reacting in a specific way). With all this in mind, I cannot say that the tournament is flawed; there are going to be problems like any other sport(like Yang breaking Merc's leg) but I find Emerald to be a very special exception. I don't see how anyone would ever expect someone like Emerald to do what she does for reasons they don't understand and I don't see how they could prepare for it (without having someone that has a detection semblance or something). It'd be great if they tried to come up with a way, but I feel something like that is going to take some time to implement.
