I say, Blake wins. Like Grey said, she has more speed, and like Mini said, she's less stupid.

The thing about Sun is that his clones vanish on touch unless he puts great effort into it, and most importantly he must stand still in either case while using them. Blake, meanwhile, can simply use her own clones to avoid Sun's and close the distance quickly, and attack him while he's "locked" by his own Semblance.

And if it comes to range, Blake's is more accurate and reliable at long range, even if she's still more effective at close range just like Sun.

While their agility is roughly the same, Blake also can use her GS like a whip of sorts to swing around, granting her much higher mobility than Sun, especially when combined with her own Semblance's default usage.

And if V4 is any indication, Blake is smarter than Sun, which can help.

The only way Sun could beat Blake, is if he manages to attack her, and then manage to overwhelm her. Both of which are very difficult, because between her speed and her clones, it's hard to hit her specifically, and even if you hit her, as we saw in her fight with Roman, she can just recover practically-instantly with her Clones anyway.

She's hard to combo, and Sun needs to combo due to his fighting style.

Now, of course, this only means Blake wouldn't lose. It doesn't mean she would win. For that she needs to go more offensively, which gives Sun a chance. However, even back in the Black Trailer her attacks were swift. Very swift. And the fact she has 3-4 different styles adds versatility (single sword, dual swords, kusarigama, pistol) and confusion fu.

Sun could beat her easily if he manages to combo her, but that would require him, assuming she attacks first, to be fast enough to avoid her attacks, and fast enough to counter between them. And that's assuming she doesn't flash away with a clone before or after she's hit.

Overall, current Sun can't beat current Blake. Using his Semblance is an invitation to getting pwned due to it's limitations, and Blake has both an easy evade and an easy combo-breaker, along with range advantage, mobility and speed, to deal with Sun's fighting style.
