Alright, so I am back for more now that I started rewatching.

Case 1: Why Weiss is way weaker then she is being given credit for. http://www.roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-season-1-episode-6

All that training for the academy paid off! She still needs to take 10 seconds just to get her posture right. She doesn't even hold her rapier properly! And as I've postulated before, she never even shines in any 1v1 fight. She develops her support role in all the team training she does.

Case 2: Why Yang is better then she is given credit for. http://www.roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-season-1-yellow-trailer

Before she even begins at Beacon, she's already taking out mafia hideouts. So much for not really having any training or real fight experience.

Rooster Teeth in general has toned down a lot of characters to add tension to their fights.

As I've said before, Yang as Yang would whoop Weiss as Weiss 65/35. Daigo "The Beast" as Weiss would whoop Daigo "The Beast" as Yang 85/15. Weiss certainly has the skill ceiling to be better then all of team RWBY. But she has years of training to catch up on Yang, Ruby, and maybe Blake. I'm not really sure how I would rank Blake yet. Sometimes I think she has the most experience, other times I think RT forgets how each member of RWBY actually should fight and turns everything into battles of thicker plot armor.
