Bullshit, bullshit everywhere. I'll just give my 3 cents:

-Pyrrha could just use her Semblance to grab RWBY's weapons and throw them away. Ruby is useless without CR, Blake could maybe do something but nothing too decisive, and Yang's punches, not counting Semblance, wouldn't be hard enough to make a big difference.

-Assuming she doesn't use it like that, Ruby will lose against Pyrrha because with her shield, she blocks any bullet fired by Ruby. Without it, her Semblance makes Ruby's shot very imprecise, and will make her slashes very easy to block. Ruby still has some chance if she spams her Semblance to confuse her, but that would take a lot of Aura because of the constant use.

-Blake could beat Nora, unless Nora tricks her into evading before she delivers the real hit.

-On RWBY's side, Yang would beat Ren but would lose against Pyrrha, thanks to her shield and much better range not to mention her Semblance would just make every single of her attacks fail. And that makes Yang's Semblance absolutely useless. As proven by her fight with Neo, becoming more powerful the more you get hit doesn't matter shit if you are unable to land a single attack.

Against Nora, she has a bigger chance at losing thanks to Nora's surprising speed with her swings. But can still win if lucky enough.

-Weiss would have the easiest time as her fighting style depends on her glyphs and Dust instead of her weapon. The only problem then would be if she does need to have the weapon at hand to use the Dust in it. If she does, then she's doomed quicker than the rest if Pyrrha takes her weapon away. If she doesn't need to, then she may be their best chance at winning against Pyrrha.

-Jaune is useless in the fight even counting his supposed training, so let's discard him.

-Ren lacks enough stamina, speed and strength compared to Nora, Pyrrha, or RWBY, so he would have the hardest time. Based on his fight with the King Taijitu, his kung fu skill takes some time to charge, which against a team made entirely of speedsters, it's a horrible thing to try to use.

-Nora has shown to be capable of giving quite a fight by herself just by power alone. Ruby or Blake could get her if they spam their Semblances enough, which would take a toll on their Aura, but if they don't, they're doomed.

Basically, as long as Pyrrha is standing, JNPR will win at the end. The only way Pyrrha can be taken down is if Weiss uses her Dust and Glyphs against her and they work. If they fail to KO her quickly enough, RWBY is bound to lose.

However, if Pyrrha is taken down, RWBY's chances of winning increase significantly, as Nora, while a juggernaut, is not enough to beat them all. Ren would not be too useful and with Jaune it's basically 4 vs 2.
