Yes, even across the field. She was barely able to react to crossbow bolts shot at her.

I've always known this. I just also happen to know that he can choose not to be. It's those times that remind me why he's worthy of being a friend.
It takes thick skin to befriend me. I'm crass, shameless, and basically a terrible human being who enjoys rustling the jimmies of others. Somehow these qualities got me promoted to admin on our SWF xat way back when, but whatevar.
Anywho, single stat mismatch for the lose, then. On the upside, RWBY takes a definitive win, that's nice, right?
With the newly established Round 3, we can finally have a discussion, I think.
So, Elsa
Spoiler:
is a powerful cryokinetic, able to freeze an entire fjord solid in moments and construct an intricate ice castle of moderate size against the side of a mountain within minutes. She can also create sentient snow/ice constructs of various sizes, some with the ability to manifest greater offensive capabilities on their own. When in full control of her power, she can melt said fjord in even less time than it took to freeze, and can conjure microclimates.
With all this in mind, Elsa still dies at least four out of five times.
Spoiler:and she was barely able to react to those. I think she could handle Weiss fairly easily, though.
Guns are deadlier than crossbow bolts,
So...maybe not. haermm

I don't think it was those qualities so much as it was activity and friendliness.
We were pretty much all terrible people in the Brawl days. You're just a little more equal opportunist than the rest of us.
Except ****. He was a pretty good guy.
Actually, after giving it some more thought, I think Elsa might actually fare better than I originally said in Round 3.
With speed equalized, Ruby could still get the edge on Elsa since she's got plenty of showings of her being able to use the momentum from her weapon's recoil to increase her speed. With the distance, though, I believe Elsa could conjure a defense, same as with the rest of the team. She's actually got a fairly decent chance, maybe.
Another thing about Elsa I forgot to mention.
Spoiler:
Her cryokinesis is explicitly stated to be magic, and if she strikes a person with it directly, it freezes them from the inside. A direct hit to their heart will doom a person to freeze solid unless an act of "true love" can "melt the ice", basically breaking the spell. The freezing process is slow, but clearly effective, and there's nothing saying that multiple magical strikes couldn't speed up the process.
I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds to me like Elsa is solely reliant on here power, and likely has no physical contingency with the likes of RWBY.
Even with equalized speed, where does her strength, striking power, durability, and cognition stand?
As per rounds 1 and 2, I'm going to pass a preliminary verdict based on current info and say she gets leveled in 3 as well.
That's exactly it. Sans her powers, she's not much different from an average human, if at all. She lacks showings in just about any other significant ability. I said as much before, which is where my initial negativity spawned from. The distance between the fighters and her powers are what makes this a variable outcome at all. One on one, I think she has a fairly good chance against each member, but against all of team RWBY, she'll probably still lose.
