You clearly can't see the big difference in effectiveness between DPS and Burst Damage in this situation, Diego.

The Paladin hit Yang, let's say it did 400 damage with the pillar added. Yang still had Aura left, even if not much. Let's say, 100/500. While Roman was preparing the second hit, Yang had enough time to get up, and use her remaining Aura to use her Semblance. Thus, having enough strength in that hit to stop the Paladin and crush it. The Paladin hit hard, but not hard enough, and was too slow to give a second hit to finish her.

Neo, meanwhile, while her kicks were much weaker than those punches, let's say dealing 75, they were many. Little by little Neo deals in 10 seconds, with no pauses and not stopping there, far more damage than the Paladin dealt in 5 seconds, plus even more seconds just trying to prepare the second hit while Yang was able to recover.

Since Neo was attacking non-stop, Yang never really had enough time to recover, her Aura was going down and down every second and unlike with the Paladin she never got a moment's rest.

Here's an example, so you understand: A man has energy shields, which recover if he is not hit for 2 seconds, and the man cannot do anything while being hit. Bob has a shotgun which can only do 1 shot every 4 seconds. He fires at the man, and takes down 90% of his shields, but there's still that 10% left. Before Bob can even fire the second shot, the man already killed Bob.

Meanwhile, Larry used an assault rifle, full auto. The barrage of bullets took down only 3% of the man's shields per bullet, but fired 5 bullets per second, and had enough ammo to keep firing for 3 seconds non-stop. The man's shields were going down not instantly, but progressively, and quickly, and the man himself never got a chance to recover because by the time Larry ran out of ammo, the man's shields had already gone down to 0% and he had even taken damage.

Now tell me, who did a better job: Larry or Bob?
