A fight is more than an exchange fists. Yes, that is one variation of how a battle may be played, but not everyone fights the same way. Different characters have different battle styles.

Let's take a look at some of the ones we've seen from canon, and while yes, the vast majority seem to favor close quarters combat, other magics are most well suited for long range combat, even if they accommodate for both.


 * Levy fights through solid script, which is most favorable from a distance so that she has enough leg room to script spells. If you see her engage in a fist fight, then that's silly.
 * Bixlow: His babies tend to do his dirty work; meanwhile, he orchestrates behind the immediate action.
 * Lucy: though she has started to help them out, her celestial spirits are supposed to fight for her. We know this by watching Yukino.

Those are some of the few examples I was able to spring out in a hurry, but you get the idea. Battles are fought in so many different ways, not just through fists. If Theia specializes in close combat, then you can't honestly expect me to play to her advantage?

Fights are all about matchups. No matter how strong one person may be, their reputoire may not accommodate for another person's.
