People who think Adam was "nerfed" are being dumb. Adam wasn't nerfed, if anything this fight was the hardest he's ever fought.

People like to forget that at Beacon, Blake was terrified out of her mind and Yang was already exhausted by the time she found Adam. Not saying he wouldn't have still beaten Yang back then, this is pre-Tai training Yang after all who was good but definitely not as good as now now, but their encounter at Beacon wasn't really a fight.

And guess what, in this Volume Adam still beat Blake resoundingly and even after that fought Yang to a last-hit scenario where one mistake costed him the match. Yang closed the gap in skill so much that Adam wasn't completely out of her reach anymore, at least not to the degree where him getting reckless couldn't cost him.

RWBY isn't like Dragon Ball Z where the guy with the bigger number always beats the guy with the smaller number. Yang got better at actually fighting and then on top of it got into Adam's head in the match, which is what allowed her to lure him into a position to lose.
