Equal Stats Tournament V2: Ruby Rose (RWBY) vs Kyoko Sakura (Puella Magi)

"In Different Story Manga, She fought on equal ground against Mami Tomoe, who was able to beat an experience Magical Girl like Homura who has prior knowledge about her power and also years of experience fighting a Magical Girl."

This would put her at the bottom tier of RWBY skill as every named character in the series has been training in combat since childhood and have been fighting for almost a decade

"Now, Sniping ain't gonna do much against someone who can sense things from other dimension. Kyoko can easily detected Ruby location and either dodge or block the bullet with forcefield or with her spear."

Blocking her bullets ***** Kyoko over big time as they have elemental AoE that would either encase Kyoko in ice, set her on fire, electrocute and paralyze her, or just rip right through her (Gravity Dust bullets oneshot opponents that can withstand her normal rounds).

"And when it comes to cqc, Kyoko can overwhelmed Ruby with clones, the amount of clones she can makes at once is 14 and each of them are equal in strenght to the original."

Ruby's semblance can very easily overcome this as it would allow her to escape being ganged up on if need be just from the massive speed boost she gets but also her semblance creates a slipstream that is stronger than her normal attacks and is shown to be able to throw around opponents as strong as or stronger than Ruby just from her using her semblance near them.

"What about Aura? huntsmen/huntress aura are basically full body forcefield. Luckily Magical Girls like Kyoko can bypassed barrier and forcefield with their attack. Kyoko, in particular, once break through Witches dimensional barrier with nothing but brute strenght."

Is she bypassing it through some sort of ability or just brute strength? If its an ability, that actually works in Ruby's favor as she can just regenerate from the damage shes being dealt and will have a much longer lasting aura reserve due to not taking hits to her aura. If it requires physical strength, Aura is significantly more durable than Ruby is physically and it also regenerates if a hole is torn in it.

"What about Ruby's semblance? Magical Girls can interracts with intangible being with their normal attacks, whether it's Elemental intangibility, Spatial intangibility, or Immaterial intangibility."

Ruby doesnt use her Semblance as intangibility though, it just makes her elementally intangible by turning her into a cloud of molecules as a side effect, plus she can fully control herself while using her semblance and can split into multiple clusters to avoid incoming attacks. Her semblance also amps her speed to the point that she becomes invisible to people who can keep up with her normally and she sees those same people as moving in slow motion.

"All in all, Ruby's skill isn't enough to overcome with Kyoko more variety of abilities here."

75% of Kyoko's abilities are physiological powers that will hold little if any influence on this fight, and many of Kyoko's offensive abilities are things Ruby has already encountered and fought against at one point or another, including things like her Instinctive Reaction.
 
"This would put her at the bottom tier of RWBY skill as every named character in the series has been training in combat since childhood and have been fighting for almost a decade"

Most of the enemies Ruby fought are hardly dangerous compared to Monsters that can spam teleportation, spawn some natural disasters out of nowhere, summons hundreds of Minions, creates a personal Labyrinth, etc. She can have centuries of experience in her own verse and it would hardly help her to stay alive against the kind of enemies PMMM Magical had to deal with.

Meanwhile, most of the Magical Girl fighting experience can be applied to RWBY verse easily as they have handle most dangerous enemies.

"Blocking her bullets ***** Kyoko over big time as they have elemental AoE that would either encase Kyoko in ice, set her on fire, electrocute and paralyze her, or just rip right through her (Gravity Dust bullets oneshot opponents that can withstand her normal rounds)."

Elemental AoE that Kyoko has deal with on much larger scale on daily basis. Encase in Ice? Kyoko break free from it. Set her on fire? Not even a nuisance against people who can block out pain, resisted high temperature, has mid-regen, and Immortality. Electricity and Paralyze? Resisted on daily basis from Witches.

"Ruby's semblance can very easily overcome this as it would allow her to escape being ganged up on if need be just from the massive speed boost she gets but also her semblance creates a slipstream that is stronger than her normal attacks and is shown to be able to throw around opponents as strong as or stronger than Ruby just from her using her semblance near them."

How can Ruby escape when Kyoko can tag her just fine? Speed boost got covered by Kyoko own stats amps, which covers speed as well. Slipstream won't be enough to blow Kyoko away, you need something like a tornado and catch Kyoko off guard for that. Something that Ruby isn't capable off here. Kyoko also could have just stand back and let her clones deal with Ruby. She doesn't need to be directly involved in battle, at all.

"Is she bypassing it through some sort of ability or just brute strength? If its an ability, that actually works in Ruby's favor as she can just regenerate from the damage shes being dealt and will have a much longer lasting aura reserve due to not taking hits to her aura. If it requires physical strength, Aura is significantly more durable than Ruby is physically and it also regenerates if a hole is torn in it."

Kyoko normal attacks can bypassed barrier, no special ability whatsoever. Kyoko also has Mid-Regen Negation from killing a copy of Sayaka who has mid regen (Ruby's Mid-Low regen isn't that hard to deal with in the first place). Basically Aura protection and regen are useless to Kyoko. Meanwhile, Ruby has to hit Kyoko at a specific spot in order to kill her.

"Ruby doesnt use her Semblance as intangibility though, it just makes her elementally intangible by turning her into a cloud of molecules as a side effect, plus she can fully control herself while using her semblance and can split into multiple clusters to avoid incoming attacks.

Already counter your argument about semblance and speed boost.

"75% of Kyoko's abilities are physiological powers that will hold little if any influence on this fight, and many of Kyoko's offensive abilities are things Ruby has already encountered and fought against at one point or another, including things like her Instinctive Reaction."

When did Ruby fought 15 people at once? All who has similar power to Kyoko and also the same experience of fighting enemies with pleotera hax like Witches? The only clone user in RWBY that I know are Flynt and Sun, and Ruby never fought them. And I hope you won't comparing fodder Grimm or henchmens to Kyoko, because that's ridiculous. Everything that Ruby has are nothing new to Kyoko.

Also, who is the character in RWBY whonhas Instinctive Reaction?
 
Bro... These texts are annoying to read. 🐵

I still don't know who would win...

Youre comparing AP and hax to skill my guy, thats not a 1 to 1 comparison. Ruby is equal to Kyoko in strength here, the fact that she in her own verse has higher AP and has fought people of comparable AP holds no bearing on how skilled she is and does not matter in this debate.

"Elemental AoE that Kyoko has deal with on much larger scale on daily basis. Encase in Ice? Kyoko break free from it. Set her on fire? Not even a nuisance against people who can block out pain, resisted high temperature, has mid-regen, and Immortality. Electricity and Paralyze? Resisted on daily basis from Witches."

If she gets encased in Ice Dust she's definitely not breaking free as Ice Dust is able to trap opponents significantly stronger than Ruby, which would carry over here due to the tourney rules, ie. Kyoko will not be able to break out of it through sheer strength. Also, Kyoko does not have a resistance to electricity or paralysis on her profile or the Puella Magi Physiology page, only a resistance to being stunned and physically restrained.

"How can Ruby escape when Kyoko can tag her just fine? Speed boost got covered by Kyoko own stats amps, which covers speed as well. Slipstream won't be enough to blow Kyoko away, you need something like a tornado and catch Kyoko off guard for that. Something that Ruby isn't capable off here. Kyoko also could have just stand back and let her clones deal with Ruby. She doesn't need to be directly involved in battle, at all."

Because it amps her to the point of being imperceptible by people as fast as herself (ie. Kyoko as stats are equalized). And Ruby's slipstream even in her normal verse can blow away people just as strong as Kyoko as it has blown away people with Class K lifting strength before. Factor in stat equalization and it would be more than enough to blow her and her clones away with ease.

"Kyoko normal attacks can bypassed barrier, no special ability whatsoever. Kyoko also has Mid-Regen Negation from killing a copy of Sayaka who has mid regen (Ruby's Mid-Low regen isn't that hard to deal with in the first place). Basically Aura protection and regen are useless to Kyoko. Meanwhile, Ruby has to hit Kyoko at a specific spot in order to kill her."

Fair, but that specific spot is...the center of her chest. The center of mass is a bad spot to have your weak point be especially for someone like Ruby who is trained to go for kill spots and, due to not knowing Kyoko doesnt have Aura, will be going full force from the start thinking that Kyoko will be able to withstand her blows.

"Also, who is the character in RWBY whonhas Instinctive Reaction?"

Maria Calavera, and Ruby in her own right has limited instinctive reactions with her semblance.
 
We are at Grace right now I counted the votes Grace period is 24 hours I think ? If Spinorr and rwby supporters can convince otherwise then all votes would go in ruby's favor.
