But she didn't, and thus was on the losing end for most of the fight. And if Cinder didn't get jabbed in her bad eye, the fight would've gone on a bit longer. That's the point SYUTK is trying to make, why use her sword against a weaker opponent and not a stronger one? Seems quite nonsensical to be as well. As I've said, Cinder may actually be capable in CQC, considering that's apparently what she used in the Vytal Festival Tournament.

She also seemed like she didn't actually want to hurt Neo, so she may have been going easy on her at first until she started giving in to her frustration.

It wasn't until she utterly destroyed one of the tables that Little Miss kicked them out, so Cinder may have also been trying not to cause too much destruction in Little Miss' tavern, for one reason or another. You saw how the Spiders drew their weapons once Cinder murdered that poor innocent table.
