Why isn't that Albert Wesker vs Liquid Snake?
 
Betting on a obvious mu like this is foolish especially if ya been in a car accident ☠️

I refuse to believe y'all doing this for a mu involving a RWBY character of all things

I'm guessing when Ash vs Yugi happens it's pretty much guaranteed Yugi will get Atem, right?
Considering Yugi Muto pretty much surpasses Atem and sends him to the afterlife when OG series ends. And after that proceeds to grow a lot stronger as a secret endgame boss for Jaden and protagonizes Dark side of dimensions with a much much better deck. Would it count as outside help/Compositing or smth like that for peak Yugi Muto?

Sorry for the late reponse

No worries, I always prefer that anyone get their thoughts in order when talking about things like this.

Its funny you bring that up, because she actually would. Not every weapon in RWBY is an overengineered nightmare of a weapon, there are plenty of people who use simple, straightforward weapons with little to no function beyond what the weapon itself is made for. At the same time, the people who wield weapons like these almost always specialize in Aura and Semblance-centric combat, ie. soul-attacking powers. She wouldnt know Maka's EXACT capabilities but the fact that Maka's weapon has no gun or other mechanical function would likely tip her off that she uses soul-based attacks more prevalently. Also, she would absolutely notice that Maka's scythe is moving on its own, even the people she fights point out that she doesnt fight the way someone with her weapon should, because Soul does the heavy lifting when it comes to combat maneuvers and she just goes with the flow and puts power behind the strikes at the last second.

Yes, the ones that use the simple nothing special weapons are usually nameless mooks that are just fodder. Not exactly getting any combat experience with guys like that. And yes, I suppose you could argue that perhaps having a simpler weapon means one fights with their Semblance more. However Maka's techniques are not Aura or a Semblance. For one Soul isn't exactly glowing at all times like when someone is using their Semblance powers, that's usually saved for any of Maka's Hunt techniques. Ruby also doesn't possess any sort of Aura-adjacent kind of Soul Perception in her verse like Maka does. Most of Maka's soul hax abilities aren't huge flashy things anyone can just see coming. Also there's no real defense against anyone with an Aura having it simply bypassed and having damage dealt directly to their body, which is why Soul Resonance techniques can just do. Aura is such a saving grace for Ruby characters because it's their armor and healing. They rely on their aura taking the hit to prevent them from taking actual damage until it's overwhelmed. Maka and Soul can just bypass that entirely.

WeeklyBattles said:
Yeah thats what I mean, neither really has anything the other hasnt specifically seen before, it'd just be weird for them both to see each other's fighting styles.
Click to expand...

I can agree with you on this for the most part. I don't believe the fighting styles are the thing that might throw each other off here.
WeeklyBattles said:
Ruby has over a decade of experience fighting human-level opponents, Maka has one to at the very most two years. The training limitations are almost nonexistent in RWBY, theyre able to fight at full force with live ammunition and bladed weaponry without needing to hold back due to everyone having Aura, meaning they wont actually hurt each other if they fight at full force.
Click to expand...
I find it very hard to believe that Qrow had Ruby doing fights to the death with human-level opponents when she was 5 years old. Training? Yes obviously she's said as much. And I disagree about 'training limitations' being nonexistent when fighting human level opponents because yes they will call off the fight once your aura is depleted. My argument was more that Maka has had more training in life-or-death battles against things that aren't just mindless beasts considering she's done the 99 human soul tango before the series even started, then all her fighting and training in the main series. But just like fighting styles not being too much of a deciding factor, I don't believe experience is necessarily what's the most deciding factor for this fight.

WeeklyBattles said:
Thats not how im taking Maka's fighting style. Maka while wielding soul is still unskilled, its a major plot point that one of her bigget personal insecurities is her belief that she is holding Soul back by being a weak and unskilled Meister that relies almost entirely on him to do the fighting.
Click to expand...

Yes, a factor of her personality that is all but gone by series end. I feel like working with your friends to help defeat Madness-Satan does wonders for your confidence. We're not having Ruby square up against Maka and Soul from when they were in the Sloth chapter here. They're going to be fighting as a team the whole way through, with the full confidence in themselves.
WeeklyBattles said:
Crona...did do that though. In the final battle Crona nullified the resonance wavelength between Maka and Soul and Maka was left entirely defenseless, with BlackStar having to do all of the fighting and also protect Maka because one hit from Crona would have killed her. Plus Neither have an ability like Ruby's semblance, which lets her break down matter she touches on a molecular level, with said ability also being soul-based and thus capable of messing with the resonance wavelength.
Click to expand...
Yes, the second strongest thing in their verse did in fact interrupt them for a moment. A being that I feel you would agree Ruby does not scale anywhere close to using techniques that Ruby does not have access to. Ruby also does not have that exact ability for her semblance, c'mon now. Penny said the ability breaks her molecules up and reforms them, with the eventual upgrade of Ruby being able to carry people. Do you seriously think that if Ruby had the Molecular Disassembler Touch she wouldn't have used it when she needed most right before they fell into the Volume 9 place or during Volume 9 fights? I know Ruby was going through some stuff, but she still used her Semblance in the Ever After. I feel like an "instant ko one-touch" move would have been very helpful if she had it.

WeeklyBattles said:
Ruby's Dust blasts are able to catch people with FTL reflexes in their AoE, and Ruby can fly as well with her Semblance. Never said she wouldnt get the BBD, that is the one form thats completely fair game as she doesnt need outside help for it beyond Soul.
Click to expand...
Ruby can indeed fly, but she can also be knocked out of her flight which has been shown multiple times. She would also need to de-petal to actually attack more than anything than just ramming Maka, because as I have seen her technique used she would need to grab someone then Semblance away, it's not something she can do mid-flight. Now as someone who hasn't seen every episode and just seen fight videos, perhaps she did at one point. I haven't seen it though.

WeeklyBattles said:
I dont understand why you think its a lie.
Click to expand...
That 'lie' was me joking when I said that I understand why you'd want to see Ruby interpreted as accurate as possible in its fight when you have been on record saying you hate it. (The lie was that I do not understand why you go through this much effort)

WeeklyBattles said:
You may want to do some more research then, because Ruby has tons of solo victories under her belt, most notably Harriet Bree, who is Maiden level. Maka's 1v1 victories are against people far weaker than the people Ruby has beaten 1v1.
Click to expand...
Respectfully, Harriet is not Maiden level. Barely anyone is in a 1v1. Also which fight of Ruby's with Harriet is the 1v1 win, the one where Ace Ops and RWBY fought as a team and when it was just the two of them Harriet had her in a leglock before Weiss came in to save Ruby?

When Ace Ops fought Penny she was clearly holding back, so you can't even call that making Harriet Maiden level.
