I've considered Nora vs Yang again and I've reached a conclusion.

Yang would win, and here's why. Both are definitely the powerhouses of their teams, both are dangerous at both dlose and long range, both are gladhearted in battle and don't hesitate to do what in necessary to win (no matter how much colateral damage is sustained), but there is one thing that gives Yang a slight edge over Nora: whether Yang is keeping her head in a fight or not, she is going to be very efficient.

From her fight in the Yellow trailer, I've seen that Yang can be tactical in combat when she needs to be. When fighting Melanie and Miltia, she was quick to take out the less aggresive of the too and then back off as Melanie tried to get pay back. She waited and held up her defenses while waiting for an opening in her attack and then she exploited it to take her out.

Later, we saw her completely lose it when Junior tore out her hair. Instead of drive her to make reckless decisions, she completely decimated the poor guy.

Nora on the other hand adopts "the best defense is to blow everything up" ideology for combat. She can be okay for in-the-moment decisions, but otherwise falls short when those plans don't work. Case in point, her attempts to distract the Death Stalker ended up with Ren being put out of the fight in Ep. 8. She simply doesn't have the tactical know how to improvise in combat.

As of right now, I would saw that Yang would win at the end of a very drawn out and destructive fight.
