How would you rank the relative fighting ability of these characters and why? Here's my ranking

1. Penny (Sort of going out on a limb here, but let's face it, you saw the shit she fucked up, she clearly has some powerful artilery backing her up and the skill to use it, she seems to be some kind of experimental weapon and so she's likely above all the others

2. Sun Wukong

3. Pyrrha

4. Yang

5. Blake

6. Ren

7. Nora

8. Weiss

9. Ruby (I mentioned this one another thread in great detail, I think she is younger and less experienced than the rest of this list, they are a while class above her, she has a way to go before she could defeat any of them.)

10. Jaune (I hate to keep banging on about how weak he is, but he does not have the same combat ability.  I love him as a character but he cheated to get into Beacon and his strengths clearly lie in strategy, not combat.)

Obviosuly combat isn't this simple, but in general, any given character would win in a 1v1 fight with anyone lower down than them in the list. Also note that a lot of these characters are close togeter, so two characters could be three slots apart, but still be very close in ability. Or they could be one slot apart one would be able to kill the other in their sleep.

The most important thing to remember, is how heavily all of this is speculation, I am by no means confident in my ranking's accuracy.
