I beg to dissent...

"and to an extent may actually be replicatable irl with the nesscary skills and equipment." No way - the weapon reconstructed to measure and material would at least be twice as heavy as Ruby. Wielding it at such speed, and in the air, - well, ever heard of the gyro effect and centrifugal force?

"Weiss' seems to have very little swordsmanship" - you can only say that in a marked absence of knowledge of fencing with respect to her moves. For the rapier not being a weapon to slash on plate armors, you're right - but that is the animator's call (the same is true with Blake vs. the Spider Droid)

"Blake decent has skills, but her clip seemed to focus more on Adam than on her and she is still outshined by Ruby." Well, that lies in the eyes of the beholder - I don't see it that way.
