Yeah, I didn't have too much issue with Blake losing to Pyrrha. Though it was annoying to see her get Worfed yet again. Of all the opponents to put against her, they chose the one who is easily strongest.

That said, Blake should be able to hold her own against more opponents than she does, simply because nobody is capable of forcing her to play to their strengths. Yes, she cannot beat anyone else at their own game, but logically not many (if any of them of them are capable of containing her and preventing her from going after their weaknesses. Weiss cannot keep her from coming to close quarters, Yang and Nora cannot force her to stay in range.

She doesn't have their strengths, but she doesn't really have their weaknesses, either, is what I'm trying to get at. It should take a strong and well balanced fighter like Roman or Pyrrha to beat her.

As for Ruby, she was the only one I had a problem with. She was way too powerful, I can only hope this scene being so ridiculous means it isn't a sign of things to come.

One more thing...

I don't know if this has been discussed in terms of Emerald's relationships, but her "gloves" (if they can really be called that) are identical to Cinder's. So either they are related, or she idolizes Cinder to the point that she's mimicking her.
