Look at it this way, going by the food fight Pyrrha is stronger then any of the main four besides possibly Ruby going all out. In the Lazer Stream clip  Mercury holds his own against her no problem and the clip ends with him gaining the advantage. That's what the ACTUAL villians are capable of(and hell in that clip he only uses regular kicks not even a single boot blast). Not to mention Roman himself held off Blake and Sun by HIMSELF just fine and he is probably the weakest of Cinders crew but he can still go mano e mano with a member of RWBY. So no there not overpowered, they just havent faced the real threat yet. Look at the ending of this seasons intro THAT'S where the real suspense and struggle will be. (That's not even getting into Neo, or Adam when ever he eventually shows up.)
