So we've finally seen all four girls in action. How will the ways each of them functions on their own (plus Adam in Blake's case) affect them all fighting together?

In terms of movement speed I'd line team RWBY up (from fastest movement speed to slowest, although really all of them are still pretty damn quick.)

Blake - Weiss - Ruby - Yang

Since Blake leaves behind an 'afterimage' due to her speed, i've placed her first, then Weiss seeing as she's just quick on her feet overall, then Ruby and then Yang, however if Ruby were to be using her cross ammunition I'd probably put her first, because really, Crescent Rose is just berserk at that speed. Now Yang I think is more for ducking and weaving ou of the way rather than fully moving out of range, so while she can certainly move I'm putting her on the end.

Now, in terms of attack speed, I'd actually line them up differently. (again, fastest to slowest)

Weiss - Blake - Ruby/Yang (questionable for the last two)

Weiss' attacks are fast, light and quick because... well that's really what her weapon more or less is designed for (discounting the magic side) Blake for the most part uses shorter, sharp slicing motions (whilst using the sword form) and I'm not really sure how to describe the way she uses the scythe form but hey. Ruby and Yang are somewhat similar for me. Ruby whilst shooting at things from afar seems to attack at an average pace, whilst her actual swinging of the scythe is relatively fast and in quite broad, sweeping motions. Yang can shoot as quickly as she can pull an arm back and then thrust it forwards in a punching motion...

How would each girls style of fighting and also style of movement affect the team as a whole? Also if you've got any disagreements on speed of things do share, this was just my take on each trailer. Plus in terms of actual attack POWER I've got no clue except maybe that Yang is probably darn strong. So any thoughts on that would be cool too!
