It might make more sense if you recall that Yang is clearly both skilled and experienced in Remnant: The Game. Recall the lines of dialogue:

"Ugh, we should never have let him play." --Yang

"You're just mad 'cause the new guy beat you." --Ruby

Being defeated by a newcomer to the game would constitute a minor blow to Yang's pride, and thus her reaction. Ruby is just calling her half-sister out on this reaction, by pointing out that the guy new to the game defeated her combination of skill and experience. Referring to the player by "the new guy" conveys this point more effectively than referring to the player by name. That's why I don't want to dismiss Jaune as a candidate.
