Where is everyone getting the idea that Opal is so much faster than Garnet? Do you remember her fight with the gem cave creature in Arcade Mania? Her speed, and skill, in that fight is top fricken notch. I urge you to rewatch it and reconsider. Giant Woman is one of my favorite episodes of the serious and I think underneath Jail Break I have watched it most. Garnet can not only dodge but deflect projectiles at high speeds. Individually I doubt that Opal's arrows are lethal, it's as a barrage that they have strength. Garnet has the sense and skill to avoid/deflect most of those arrows and close the gap between her and Opal. Jasper was somewhat even with her in close combat but Garnet fought with much more clean moves and brains. Garnet is just too good.
