You gave reasons? No you gave suggestions that ALSO do not make sense.And none of them logical, hence the problem that my argument poses.
Because you keep assuming that you seem to know w/c strategies would have worked better in each scenario even though it was never shown that they would and plausible reasons were given why they wouldn't.

You cannot prove otherwise, and thus cannot disqualify this as a potential reason to why he opted to attack her with a UW blast.

Okay... so we know she was helpless, you admit she was helpless... Why didn't he continue to blast her or hold her? She WAS helpless afterall by your own supposition.
Because the blast might have knocked her out of stasis?
Perhaps because he has not since been able to apply the stasis field on her succesfully (it looked like he needed touch contact to do it)?

Not what I said. Please try and understand the statments better before making silly assumptions.
He blasted her from within the stasis bubble because he wanted her to suffer. If someone stabbed a friend of yours, would you be content at holding the person down or would you release one of his arms so that you can free up your own arm to punch him?
That, in turn, blasted her right out of stasis and made the fight continue.

Yeah none of that makes any sense. :

And the flying thing... melee obviously wasn't going so well... her one ranged attack that she used was completely inneffective on him so he wouldn't need to worry about that.
He deflected it with the UW force field, doesn't mean it was ineffective.
His ranged attacks were having little effect on her when they DID connect (heck, he had her caught in a stasis bubble, had time to charge up his UN for a focused energy blast AND blasted her in the back at short range, but it didnt even do any visible damage on her) so taking this fight to the sky might not be as big an advantage as you think.

Again, there is no logical reason for why he gave up his advantages.
Except that there are.

I mean do we seriously need to sit here and explain to you how Ronan letting her go after a punch to the face isn't the most effective meathod of combat? Even for an amateur?
Anyone with even a passing familiarity in fighting should be able to recognize that fighters capitalize when their opponents are hurt/rocker/compromised, it's why MMA guys pounce on opponents who get put on crazy legs... The fight would have been over as soon as it started if Ronan simply kept holding on to her and hitting her upside the face.
Didn't happen because there needed to be some excuse for the two to keep fighting....
You mean him blasting her from within a stasis field ISN'T him taking advantage of a compromised opponent?? From a guy who says that him letting her go from the stasis field was a bad tactical choice, you making this sugggesion shows how little consistency you have with your argumentation.

Never belittled your intelligence. Just the foolishness of your argumentation.
If you don't understand my meaning, ask for clarifications. I felt that I put together my points quite concisely.

My argument isn't set upon the versatility of Ronan's powerset alone, only a simpleton would come to that conclusion.
My argument is that Ronan didn't use that versatility to effect even for the powers he DID USE in this particular fight.
Which makes the fight very suspect for people trying to make Gamora out to be his equal. ...
That is simply opinion formed from dogged persistence. If you opened your mind but a fraction and reread my arguments, you should already consider the fight quite valid. And is a good showing for BOTH parties involved.

It's the same type of argument as people who try to suggest that "this street level" or "that street level" are at Wolverine's level because they survived against him in a fight where he decided to sheath his claws and opt to punch them in the face instead... That's not them fighting at his level, it's him playing down to theirs to give some sort of excuse for them even appearing to be hanging with someone out of their league, just like this fight is here.
W/c didnt occur here. What you don't seem to understand is that in this fight:
1) Ronan WAS NOT holding back at all.
2) Ronan was shown to use a large variety of his powerset in this fight. More than any other showing he's had in a while.
Your dogged determination to disqualify or downplay this fight stems from a flawed argument that:
"If any single ability/tactic that MIGHT be shown to give a certain character an advantage but wasn't used in certain fights automatically deems the fight invalid as a showing.
Few points:
1) YES. Characters might be written to not use some powers to allow for fights to occur. Does not make the fight invalid or a low showing. Otherwise:
-Every Flash fight lasts more than a panel is invalid
-Every Surfer fight that doesn't have him opening black holes or shirnking down to attack his opponent from within or attacking them from the Astral Plane is invalid.
-Every Superman fight where he 1) fought bricks hand to hand or dididn't speed blitz his opponent at the very start is invalid.
-Every Thor fight where he didnt God blast some serious threat or simply BFR his target is invalid.
Do you get it now???

Uh... No...He posted 2 examples of Ronan having Gamora helpess and subsequently relenquishing that advantage. He basically proved my case for me and then tried to equivocate it to an innaccurate comparison of Thor in "Warrior Madness" fighting 2 like versatile opponents. The example being wildely different.
If you read what he posted AFTER, rather than just looking at the scans, you MIGHT begin to understand how he owned you argument there...

Please indicate where I said: "Gamora is the same level as Ronan"

And failed to do it effectively because he had to resort to multiple inconsistencies taking place off panel without addressing them on panel.
Only to the close minded...

And no one said she wasn't impressive... but it really doesn't show her at Ronan's level. Unless you plea to his CIS which again, is fine.
I never said she was "Ronan-level" again, pls indicate where I specifically said that.
It showed that her level of skill/physicality was sufficient enough to neutralize Ronan's power output/versatility. It also showcased a lot of her new abilities. This is why the feat is very important and this is why you're trying to invalidate it by claiming that "Ronan didn't fight effectively".
I don't even like Gamora but that argumentation is just silly.

She's stronger? Sure...Faster? No.
More Skilled? No.
Wolverine has a potential one-shot weapon, and unlike her he can't be disarmed of it.
She has a useless strength advantage against someone who can tank through brick level blows as a superpower.
The only thing that she MIGHT have going for her in this fight is an energy blast. Is that enough to beat Wolverine? Probably not.
She is not just stronger. She is FAR stronger. Which will come in handy if he ever manages to grapple her (w/c I doubt) or if she wants to put some distance between her and him (via leaps).
It can be argued that she is faster. But neither you nor me can prove otherwise. It can be argued that she has been shown to posses super speed in terms of her running speed at least.
More skilled? It has been mentioned the level of skill she operates in. I also mentioned that she is AT LEAST skilled enough to easily match Wolverine in H2H and definitely be skilled enough to tag him with the Godslayer.
So someone who is accurate enough to tag him with an energy weapon (something that adamantium bones won't help you much in) that will rend the flesh from his bone as well as being fast enough to remain ahead of him to avoid melee combat in a fight ISN'T given a large advantage here??
And here you are arguing that Ronan flying should have given him a huge advantage against Gamora....
