See, her fighting style is the "Unskilled-But-Strong" kind of style. She just goes in blind and punches stuff, if she gets hit she just uses her Semblance and keeps punching stuff until it falls. It works with Grimm, it works with the Mech, but against Neo, Neon and Mercury, it did not work.

In Neo's case, she was so fast Yang couldn't hit her, while Neo could kick her ass with no problem because Yang sucks at blocking and evading. Her Semblance is to get energy when hit so Yang can hit harder later, but it's useless if you cannot even land a hit.

In Neon's case, it was the same.

In Merc's case it was pretty much the same, but Yang managed to win because Merc wasn't going all out, since the plan was for him to lose. He gave enough effort to make it believable, but not more.

And when she "fought" Adam, another weakness shows up: Her Semblance requires her to get hit to hit harder, but it's worthless if you cannot even survive the hit to begin with.
