From what I remember, any use of third-party actions are allowed if both sides consent to it. However, even if Egil can use his Red Watch Network, Sanuye belongs to the Uroboros Corporation. Although my page for the Uroboros Corporation isn't completed just yet, I planned them to have a network that could recieve the same information of others similarly to yours; though they possibly would have different plans with that information. In addition to that, though your Network isn't extensively explained, their mention on Egil's page does give us enough of a general idea to say what they do.

If we allowed third-parties of both sides to be involved, how about we assume that both are familiar with each other to a similar extent? It would mean that both characters have studied each other's abilities and weapons.

Should this happen, this would mean that I can safely say that Sanuye has an advantage factor in the subject of weapons. Elaborating on this, I'm saying that Sanuye can effectively prepare her secondary armament for a battle against Egil. Sanuye's secondary weapon can be any various type of sword-bladed weapon, therefore she can possibly negate certain aspects in Egil's actions. For example in the case of using dust, should Egil have a use for fire, Sanuye may have prepared her secondary to have water dust before hand. If Egil needed lightning dust, Sanuye will have an earth dust applied weapon to stop it.

Though there can be an argument of whether dust runs out or not, Egil was explained to have several dust vials and crystals ready to use. Yet on the other hand, the fact that Sanuye's secondary weapon is somewhat unknown until the battle, it means that she can come with a weapon that can match the amount of dust Egil wields. Of course Egil may have better utilization of dust, but that doesn't mean he can defy the laws of the elements.

Now to the other things, It is a fact that Egil probably has more experience as he has lived longer than Sanuye. Yet at the same time, experience doesn't directly translate to having a better mastery of certain knowledge and skill. Though experience may influence such aspects, it doesn't definitely mean you can one up someone.

For example in a recruiting environment for work, an engineering company may ask a candidate to draw out the basics of a design or solve an engineering problem. A restaurant can ask a chef to prepare a dish, an accounting firm can request candidates to respond to accounting problems, and a college can have the candidate teach a demonstration lesson. Interacting with a candidate when this is happening, or asking questions about what they were thinking as they did the task afterwards will help recruiters and employers get to know the candidate better and see how they may fit into the company culture.

This may fall into a trope of Old School VS New School to an extent. Egil may be able to do something a certain way, yet Sanuye may have a new method that outclasses his. The same can be said the other way around; Sanuye can do something, however Egil can do it better because his is better developed.

So yes again, Egil may have more experience, but that doesn't mean he can have a pure advantage factor with just that. It's more in-depth than just saying "I've done this longer than you."

When it comes to physical strength, I won't deny that Egil probably will hit harder than Sanuye if they make physical contact with each other. This also includes fire power. Despite that, if we compare their fighting styles, it will be like the western story of the rabbit and the turtle, except that they aren't racing and the rabbit isn't stupid to waste anything. Egil has notably strong defense as his semblance alone makes frontal attacks nigh impossible. Sanuye is quick on her feet and can strike fast.

This is where age starts to factor in. While Egil in the age where his mental capabilites are still in its prime, his physical capabilities have past that, and is slowly degrading as the years go by. Sanuye in the other hand, still has time to grow both mental and physical, which is only a boon to her already exceptional abilities. Egil can sustain a strong and healthy physical condition with training, yet again there is still the degradation mentioned before. With that in mind, Egil can block attacks, but can he stop them all? Will his body react fast enough just like his mind tells him to in order cope with Sanuye's speed? Sanuye can use her semblance to rapidly close gaps and maneuver around openings. Even if she would be caught by an attack, she can use her semblance to repel it away.

I would also like to say that I don't know the limits behind Egil's semblance, however I did state her's on her page. If there is an argument about endurance, I won't deny that there's a good chance that Egil will have an advantage on sustain. Yet in a realistic fight where it isn't heavily controlled or has rounds, they usually last less than a few minutes, if not seconds. Even then, the RWBY universe isn't all realistic, so the fights may last longer.

And to explain Sanuye's ranged attacks, yes, it is basically sending aura in the shape of the sword's swing at a high speed. At the moment the ranged attack makes contact, it will explode into a flurry of strikes afterward. In Sanuye's page, it is an accumulation of energy compressed into a single, releasing everything once it hits. But instead of releasing the energy into a single focus point, it spreads outwards with slashing winds similarly to how gas when it explodes (without including things like wind resistance).

I think I have everything I wanted to say for now. I did forget somethings because I walked off and on on this, but I'll figure it out some time later. Maybe not.

Do you understand everything? Or is there some faulty or missing information?
