A valid point, but you must consider that Ruby gets her immence speed from firing her gun, meaning that she has to divert the strike in a circle back to the same target, as aposed to simply directing the blade at the next target. Also, count the number of strikes that Weiss makes per second on the "Armor" and you will find it well exedes Rubys, meaning that she gets first strike and forces Ruby to block. Another two factors to consider are the time it takes Ruby to chamber the next round (yes, this is minute, but we are coming down to half seconds in spacing between strikes) and the time it takes for her scythe to unfurl. If Weiss suprises her, she will almost certianly win by first strike, although Weiss could block a scythe strike given half a seconds warning. Also, Weiss actually uses her magic instantly when the proper slot is locked into place, and sliding it takes about the same time as Ruby chambering her next round. again, very very close.
