Trained soldier here folks. Watch her lose to a bunch of nameless goons and get raped. Remember, trained soldier.
To be fair, her entire military was questionable, i mean look at how she fights in game, and compare it to all those PsiCom soldiers you fought, PsiCom were the elite soldiers of Cocoon, whereas her core, the Guardian Core were the rank and file infantry. Guardian Core specialized in policing the civilians, whereas PsiCom were given better training, better weapons and armor, and worked directly under the Bardanulius, they also handled dealing with Pulse Fal'Cie, and Pulse L'Cie.
