User blog comment:IamThorn/Yang vs Toph, Who Would Win?/@comment-5041507-20141021211848/@comment-11188061-20141022002726

... I see an over exaggeration of Team RWBY's abilities. At their current ability, it would be the other way around where Aang singlehandedly play them without breaking much of a sweat. We are comparing the end product (Team Aang) to the freshly starting one (Team RWBY) after all. In his Avatar state Aang can move freaking seas with his bending abilities. Just the difference in experience alone is huge.

The greatest advantage Team RWBY has over Team Aang is their weapons (if you compare their 'magic' vs 'magic', Aang alone kicks all of their arses), but that also makes them easy picking. Ruby is instantly out of the picture the moment she loses her scythe. She'll be hard to catch and hard to defend against, but the human mind is creative. There will be ways to disarm her quickly.

Blake is quick and versatile, but even now she lacks decisive power to end a battle. She also defaults to her Semblance way too easily. Roman has already taught us that lesson: the moment you reveal your trump card and fail to end the fight, Blake is gone. She will be smarter and better during her second fight against the same opponent, but by then it's too late.

Yang is the most dangerous in Team RWBY because of her Semblance, but she doesn't seem able to channel her berserker energy in any other way except melee (if she can shoot her Aura like she shoots explosive shots from her gauntlets that can be cool, but she can't as of now), so while the surprise factor may allow her to break a few bones, as long as whoever she's fighting doesn't get knocked out by the blow, they'll instantly realize that keeping their distance and harass until she falls is the strategy to go for (or just straight up KO her with a big one, like Nora did).

Weiss is... naive. Her logical thinking is great, but her improvization skills? Not so much (as compared to Ruby). Given how cunning Team Aang grew up to be, you know, after being chased all over the country with betrayals and all those other shit, even I can think of many ways to just whip the girl around like the porcelain she looks. Toph will totally beat her ass, and I can't think of any better person (not because of Toph's abilities, but her preference to er, rub it in. And who better than a blind person beating Weiss Schnee to totally rub in that mountain of salt?) to beat Weiss.
