Yang Vs Pyrrha.

This one is very hard to call. I'm going to give it to Pyrrha though due to her semblance interfering with Yang's gauntlets and her extensive tourniment experience. That said I can also see Yang forcing her into the defensive with rapid onslaughts of punches. But ultimatly I think her shield would be able to knock Yang off balance and alow her to go in with her sword, which would be difficult for Yang to counter with her gauntlets. So yeah I think Pyrrha gets this one.

Weiss Vs Blake

I'm going to give this fight to Blake. While Weiss is a powerhouse at long range, in close quarters I don't think she would be any kind of match for Blake. Blake is just too fast, she'll zip around her striking from all directions at once until she inevitably breaks through Weiss's guard and takes her down with a dizzying barage of strikes that I don't think Weiss has the skill to keep up with. Weiss's victory would depend on her keeping Blake at a distance with her dust spells and landing hits with them. I feel like Blake is evasive enough to avoid Weiss' strikes long enough to close the distance between them and overwhelm Weiss.
