^ Maka actually isn't in much of a league of her own. All of her soul resonance techniques won't work against Ruby because they are specifically designed for killing evil or anything associated with evil.

Ruby is stronger as she carries Crescent Rose (which must weigh a tonne) with ease while all of Maka doesn't really have any strength feats. Ruby was also able to carry Penny, who has a similar weight to Ruby if not heavier, while also maintaining her semblance for a few seconds.

Though they both heavily rely on their scythes Maka is slightly more independent knowing hand to hand combat.

While they both are adept in scythe wielding Ruby has much better technique. Maka generally uses slow strong strikes while Ruby uses quick and deadly strikes. Even though Maka knows the technique for using a scythe she doesn't use it unless she's showing off.

Ruby has variety in her fighting style able to fight close range and long range using the rifle part of her scythe.

Ruby also wins speed because while Maka was able to run 100 metres in 8.92 seconds, Ruby went fast enough to create a vacuum.

This is the deciding factor: Maka's black blood. Using the black blood Maka can survive practically any thing. The question isn't who's the better fighter because Ruby has that covered. That would actually make it a close fight. The question is whether or not Ruby can get surpass the black blood.
