But you're forgetting the difficulty Weiss had with multiple attacks close together, she was hit by the giant armor after she doged a slice, plus Ruby uses her scythe to manipulate opponents as we see in 1:30, 2:08, and 2:12 in the Red trailer, at 2:08 she beheads a Beowolf by reaching her scythe around it and fireing. I personally beleive Weiss to be a strategist, the thinker who plans her way through a fight, but Ruby is a dynamic opponent, she goes from long range to short range to medium range in one fluid string of combos, she uses her weeapon in unexpected ways, she is very comfortable improviseing. Some people think that when Weiss is hesitating after she gets hit it's because she is unsure of her self, I think she's planning her next moves, and against a slow opponent that is fine, but Ruby is a very offensive fighter, she rarely pauses, and never relents. The only chance Weiss has is if she manages to hit Ruby with the binding spell, and I would like to contend that Ruby would never give her that kind of space or time.
