CRWBY has stated that Adam is a superior fighter when compared to Roman and Mercury. Yet Episode 11 showed he probably hasn't fought many hand-to-hand fighters in his life, once Yang got within his striking range he found himself at a disadvantage, swords can't do much at point blank range. Plus it seems he never bothered to learn how Yang fights, that would be his arrogance showing yet again.

As for Mercury, Volumes 4 and 5 have shown his weaknesses, he's easily incited. If he starts losing his cool then he won't fight as efficiently, whihc could easily lead to his own downfall. Though of course Emerald needs to be taken out in advance, lest she turn the battle in Mercury's favor with her mindbending, like she did in Volume 5. Maybe we'll see in the next arc, though that won't be for another two years or so. Until then...
