That's not really the same or similar to how the gun-sycthe works. It isn't just a sycthe or a gun, but both at the same time. And Ruby uses it as both at the same time. All the scans on Inglis profiles don't point towards similar weapons which can act that way existing. A gun user doesn't fight like Ruby, nor does a Sycthe user, she's unique in that capacity. For example, something Ruby does do is slash past her opponent then shot her gun to launch her weapon back towards a quick follow-up attack. She also slash with her sycthe and shoot the gun with the same motion. It's not a coventional fighting style by any capacity and nots really something that's as predicitable as tracking the trajectory of bullets being shot at you from a range.
Being unique doesn't help that much since it would just get Inglis excited more and learn from her. Even if they can transform into either one at any time, they still have to transform meaning Inglis would be fighting either gun or a scythe which I don't really think matters here. Like, Ruby's agility with her gun and movement is certainly interesting but even that has been countered before and can be. Especially since were talking about someone with far more experience, and someone who will be eager to learn more than anything. She has blocked gun fire from both far range and close range. Also, dodging projectiles that are countless in numbers has become so easy for her that she can do it with her eyes closed and without hearing. (Which now that I think about it, just makes Ripple more impressive) Also, she has fought opponents that can fire multiple bullets behind each other so there is also that.
Since I'm assuming Aether Strike, and Aether breaker are restricted as well due to their higher tiers, I don't see why she would have access to every technique but Dragon's lore.
I only restricted Aether Shell. She would have to dodge Aether Strike and Aether Breaker or she gets 1 shot. (So, if Inglis decides to, while unlikely, in a bullet vs Aether Clash Ruby would be overpowered) I didn't restrict them since I don't think high-tier moves gives on a win automatically if the base is comparable to someone who can injure them. Still deadly if caught off guard, which could happen.
It's not even that they look similar is just that weapon constructs that Inglis makes don't do much on their own. She proceeds to wield them as normal weapons by the look of her profile, so there isn't much to deal with that would be unique.
Eh, the only unique part that I really see is it quickly transforming, however, while Ruby can fire from scythe that's transformed, Inglis would just dodge that. Also there is the whole part of potentially Inglis having the entire fight play out by however she wants to through sheer analytical prediction, such as against the Black Mask. Scythe is a unique weapon, but it also has wide strokes and attacks which could potentially open up her and be the downfall IMO.
And while their AP is similar, Ruby has Aura and Inglis does not. Ruby can and will tank the hits that Inglis throws at her, and suffer no damage. Inglis on the other hand will take hits from Ruby and take damage, Ruby has armor essentially that Inglis will have to tear through first where Ruby doesn't have to deal with that. Well not as quickly at least
Pretty sure Aura has a limit and can run out, so it's only so long before Ruby gets worn down from continuous pressure and attacks from an opponent with more skill and experience.
I agree that Mind's eye is good. It's just that I don't see it being so good that it overcomes the issue of her being outsped. Prediction only helps to a certain degree when the speed difference isn't too great
Prediction helps to the point where an opponent is "1 with the world" and is quite literally undetectable (even played out as invisible), and Inglis learned how to deal with that. Also, Inglis has her accelerated development which means even if removing Gravity Magic initially won't help, it would be a matter of time before she caught up with Ruby. (It seems it's more so an amp than continuous growth for Ruby - the way you phrase it, so I might be wrong.)
Techinque advantage doesn't really mean much when she's communicated as stronger and faster than him. She holds superiority over him in that fight in part because of her being beyond him.
Nah, they were comparable. She was just that good at predicting him. Both could heavily injure each other, so it's definitely not that Inglis was simply faster and stronger, if that's what you're implying. That's kind of expected with someone over a century of experience not only as one of the greatest rulers but also fighters.
