-Speed

If Ruby's semblance is speed, then why is Blake's semblance the ability to make clones (In otherwords, afterimages as a result of speed)? That seems contradictory to "semblances are unique", unless theres a plot point thats not revealed yet.

If we also compare speeds in the sense of this wiki, where Ruby is supposedly nearly "unseeable" according to her description, she's actually been quite the opposite of such throughout the volume; visible and trackable. Even at her top speeds, she's not quite creating afterimages which would imply a speed beneath Blake's.

Also, if you notice Weiss in the "White" trailer, she literally becomes a white blur dodging the giant sword with the help of glyphs...which are supposed to be Weiss' semblance. If Weiss can move at such a speed that she becomes a blur, while Ruby can move at such a speed where she's still visible, wouldn't that imply that Weiss' is also faster?
