instinct? what the hell is instinct? You can't use instinct to find where stuff is when you have no senses. Oh I'm getting some vibe, Kyouka must be three spaces left to spaces forward. No, that's not how instinct works.

Also, she could have done better to not get hit by Kyouka and get her armor broken. Hey put on flight armor, and start running around, doing quick attempts at least. Then There were many cop outs Mashima could have relied on. Sting, Rogue, Gray, hell Minerva is just sitting their crying about.

"Kyouka is dumb" just isn't a good defense at all, so yeah.
