For those who saw the next preview, what do you think?

My thoughts:

Ruby has a better chance against Neo compared to Yang because her weapon has more range. Neo's strategy against Yang generally consisted of dodging/parrying her attacks before counterattacking    (pretty easy for her, since Neo's parasol out-ranges Yang's fists so Yang has to move into her attacking range in order to fight). Ruby's scythe out-ranges Neo's parasol, so while Neo can proably resort to the standard dodge/parry strategy she used on Yang, she has a smaller window of time and space to counterattack - rather than letting Ruby come within range of her, she has to come within range of Ruby's scythe. On a slightly related note, I noticed that Neo's dodge/parry/exploit-opening-for-counterattack strategy is similar to Roman's fighting style in "Black and White".

Didn't Monty once say that Blake's weapon would receive a major redesign after being damaged? Blake's fight with Adam may be the fight where she has to replace her weapon.
