People seem to forget that Sol is a person, meaning using him goes against the rules of Death Battle, specifically the one that says "no outside help allowed". Maka would be unarmed in the fight unless screwattack made it a team battle, in which case we'd need someone to help Ruby fight. This just gives Ruby an even greater advantage however, so it's pointless. And this ladies and gentleman, is why Ruby and Maka will never meet in a Death Battle. You may have a point here, but given how easy it would be far too easy for Ruby to kill an unarmed Maka (Partial weapon blood from the anime nonwithstanding), so then Soul would have to be paired with her.

Alternatively, you could liken Maka not having Soul (her primary weapon) as to Ruby not having CR. In this case, Ruby would probably win using her extreme speed to land a fatal blow if it was the first time Maka had seen this superspeed used.
