Also if we could get Tsu to weigh in on the speed arguement here, because he's generally the one saying that most of the fighers can react and move at like Mach 10+. Yeah, some judge's opinion would be really nice right about now. But in your arrow example (I saw that Mythbusters episode too), the guy who is deflecting arrows only had a chance when he knew when and where the arrow was coming from. One of the big perks of Darian's speed (if it was my OC) is making sure that you can attack from unexpected directions, like dashing somewhere else, then firing that railgun.

And since you mention Darian's height of 5'9" as a weakness, I'm starting to wonder how much that would help or hinder.  Leo is enormous at 6'8", and even Azulius is 6'2" with long limbs.  In melee, that extra range could prove a nice benefit, possibly giving Leo the edge (or helping Azzie not get wiped out immediately.)

And one last thing in my favor, not sure how much it matters, but check everyone's ages. Azzie is 20, since he didn't choose to enter Beacon until a few years later. And he spent the majority of that time working for the Mob. Perhaps that experience will give him an advantage?

And @Former, driving a car into somebody would be hilarious, but given what we've seen in RWBY,  vehicles usually aren't super durable.
