She's used to fighting Sherlock. She's kept busy, she's not just standing there swatting away halfhearted punches and laughing, but her autopilot's plenty well equipped for this.
Juliet's style is completely unlike Aegis's. Aegis moves with - well - vicious precision, but there's no extra power behind her strikes. And her comfort with her motion is based on having had her exo from childhood, not from having acquired it as a sudden boost at age seventeen (which Aegis has not yet attained to begin with). Juliet is also fast - maybe faster - and also precise - maybe less so - but everything she does is predicated on the fact that she has overwhelming power to put behind her moves (even though she is in fact being gentle with Sue) and doesn't need to worry as much as an unaltered human about being hurt. Long practice with Sherlock also means she's particularly good at not telegraphing. Sherlock can still usually catch her preparing to act. Sue most likely can't.
