Theres a good amount of characters that dont ever fight at full power. Why go through the trouble when theres nothing on the line for you? The only characters that actually fight with full power are the weak ones or the prideful ones. Aya is supposed to be one of the strongest characters in Touhou but she never fights at full because shes in a constant "Shoot the bullet" mode.

Thing is Pride and fear are why Alice holds back... she'd be crush if she lost at full power.
