Pyrrha VS Yang: I'm going to say that Pyrrha would win this too for a few reasons.

Pyrrha is a very skilled fighter with a balanced skillset for short or long range. She's also one of the few characters to use armor and a shield, giving her a solid defense if Yang happens to get close. She's been seen to very acrobatic and quick on her feet and a quick thinker in battle.

Yang on the other hand has a decidedly offensive manner of fighting that utilizes lightning fast and devastating strikes on slower or inexperienced opponents. Yang has no armor aside from her gauntlets and therefore will need to keep Pyrrha on the defensive to win. Something I don't think she'll be able to accomplish against her.

For Semblances, Yang's seems connected to her emotional status that is mostly controlled by her hair. Assuming that Pyrrha won't try to target Yang's hair, this shouldn't be much of an issue. Likewise, Pyrrha's OP Semblance won't be as effective here as there is less for her to control. It might give her a slight edge, but it will ultimately come down to the best fighter, and with her more balanced fighting style, I think Pyrrha will take a victory.

Weiss VS Blake: I think that Weiss will take this win again our favorite faunus for a few reasons.

The biggest and most obvious is that she has Dust at her disposal. Myrtenaster might be a glorified toothpick that doesn't know it's not a gun, but it can definitely deal out some punishment when Weiss cuts loose.

Gambol Shroud is a versatile weapon meant for any range, but it falls short because of who is using it. Nothing against Blake as a fighter, but face-to-face fighting doesn't seem to be her area of expertise.

Weiss and Blake are both very fast fighters that make an effort to win fights with their first strike, then choose to overwhelm their opponents with lightning fast strikes if or when that fails.

The difference comes in the afterwards part. Blake is good, but she's predictable and not good at improvising when she needs to. Weiss on the other hand has plenty of options to choose from when forced into a real fight. Burn it, freeze it, blow it up, such is the power of Dust.

This variety would eventually overwhelm Blake and give Weiss the victory.
