Other than that RNJR and Weiss parts were good, Blake part... nah. But Pyrrha did not rely on her Semblance. Even without her Semblance, she had actual combat skills. It's not like she spammed her Semblance or relied on it to win 99% of her fights.

Even when she did use her Semblance to her major benefit, she used it strategically.

Yang, meanwhile... "Uh oh, I'm losing. Good thing I've taken damage. Automatic win button, activate! HYAAAAAAAAAH *Shoots a bunch and wrecks shit*"

Seriously. It was especially obvious in the tournament fights, which Tai pointed out.

WY vs FN - Uh oh, Weiss is down to 0, and it's Yang vs two people. Good thing Neon kicked her ass. HYAAAAH, Semblance!!

Yang vs Mercury - Uh oh, Yang's down to 16%, just 1% away from losing. HYAAAAH!

That, and Pyrrha didn't have to let her enemies beat her up in order to use her Semblance. Yang's Semblance comes with a risk to her life, if her powered-up attacks miss, like when she fought Neo.
