Velvet could only copy Emerald's guns if she took a photo of them beforehand and saw Emerald use them, and they're only single use for each photo. Plus she has to avoid being hit while the copy is being created. I'd actually argue that Velvet would be a bad matchup against Mercury and Emerald because of this.

Sure, she's got versatility, but she doesn't really have much in the way of defenses while she's generating a weapon, she's stuck using moves she's copied from others which Emerald and Mercury would know how to counter since they've been doing all that research on everyone else, and the weapons only last for a few hits before they're destroyed and she can't use them again until she takes more photos.
