ok people, i've read all of the cooments on this thread and i just want to say what my hypothesis for Semblance is. as we all know it is the manifestation of aura and everyones is unique in one way or another, i don't think it is strictly elemiental and it can be used in combinations.

team RWBY:

ruby=speed (we already know that one)

weiss= a simple platform to be used with dust most of the time. i have also noticed that almost every time weiss waves her hand to create a platform, this might mean that she has been trained to summon her semblance (platform) whenever she does so. it is also like a blank canvas most of the time, there might be almost infinite combinations if you combine it with another person aura. e.g. in the episode players and peices, when weiss launches ruby in the air to finish off the nevermore you can see that the glyph (platform) is red. possibly because it has come in contact with ruby's aura/semblance.

blake= agility to enhance her skills with gambol shroud ( her weapon). or night vision because if she is a faunus then maybe all faunus have that inherent semblence. also adam and blake could see well in the dark cart on the train in the "black" trailer ( if adam is a faunus aswell).

yang= explosion/friction/fire/burning (that sort of area) i think is well established in this thread.

team JNPR:

jaune= healing because we have seen no one else that heals himself after/during combat other than jaune. also as we all probably know, jaune is probably gonna get his ass kicked many times since he hasn't had any sort of proffesional combat training what so ever. so monty probably had that in mind when creating jaune as a character, so it will probably turn out useful most timeshe is in combat. p.s. i think that the reason jaune has that sword & sheith apart from the fact that it is a family heirloom is that he probably wasn't smart enough to design his own weapon. i mean look at ruby's weapon she even admitted she went "overboard" with its design. compared to jaune's weapon. and even his sheith is simple in design, there are even faults with its design of the initial purpose being "lighter to carry".

nora= (unknown, someone please hypothesize on this one)

phyrra= polarity/ magnetism (we already know this one). but she has used it another time in episode 4 when she used it to pull it out of jaune's hoodie. you can even hear a metallic twanging noise when she pulls it back. this also might have helped her when she saved jaune by throwing the javellin aswell as the recoil from the gun part of her weapon.

ren= something to do with defensive properties as he used it as a forcefield against two king taijitus.

OTHER:

adam= absorbing energy and projecting it outwards. as seen in the "black" trailer againt a spider droid, we also saw black/red petals around him as he used this ability/semblance.

glenda goodwitch= maybe something to do with telekinesis since she used her aura and a type of dust maybe against crimson

team CRDL: being giant douchebags (joke)

anybody is welcome to elaborate on my theory, please do :P
