You know what, you're all ignoring the fact Coco just bitch-slapped Grimms with her suitcase to beat them. So she definitely beats everyone by a large margin. norlywaiyufinkimjoking

I'd personally put Ozpin, Glynda and Cinder on the top of everyone. Glynda - renowned Hunter who can do amazing magic tricks seemingly without any effort. Ozpin - well, you certainly have to be something of power to handle a school like that, no? Cinder - you really shouldn't be a criminal mastermind in a magical sci-fi world if you only had the brains minus whatever prowess of anyone who can fight against you... so I guess she should be powerful too. (That unless we have really crappy Naruto-esque logic with the plot or whatever....)

If anything, I'm curious to what else Neo has to offer. She seems like she can possibly compete with the top players if only we know what else she's hiding.

Among the freshmen, Pyrrha would be ranked top IF and only IF we consider their base skills andwhat-not when they entered Beacon. Otherwise, I feel Weisz and Blake can PROBABLY surpass her. more on Weisz though because fancy shiny Glyphs are shinyyyyy (and they have a lot of utility too... not just for her but also her teammates and whatever). Yang has good raw power but at where she is at both character development and skill level, it all boils down to exploiting her weaknesses which probably isn't too hard to figure out for some opponents...?

Mercury would probably wipe Pyrrha's face on the floor on a first actual fight. That is if Pyrrha continues to use her semblance sparingly or for some reason Mercury is even more skilled than what he has displayed on the sparring session. Emerald has been stated as a "master thief" so it's highly likely she's more on stealth and tickery rather than power. But who says power comes fom brute force, eh? Aikido anyone?
