You're overlooking the fact that the only reason that the three of them got owned so easily was because the Quincy HQ was impairing their ability to sense rietsu (they even said as much before being attacked), thus giving Mask the element of surprise. Now that they've had a chance to recover and are more importantly, aware of what's in front of them they'll be able to put up a decent fight (and the three of them are by no means slouches, either).
