Underestimating has nothing to do with whether she fights them or not, so you've lost me somewhat on that point. I simply mean that on several occasions she has been shown being caught off-guard by a move that breaks the norm. Perhaps it is not so much underestimation, as much as having too much structure in her previous training, or that she has faith in a system of battlefield honor (chivalry?) her opponents do not follow.

I also believe Armor fight was an actual event, aye. However, with her mobility, Weiss should have been able to dodge that move (she would say much the same, I am sure). She simply did not see it coming, hence me opinion that she underestimates her opponents' movesets. I don't really see how her being disarmed was necessary for character development, but the challenge she found in such a simple fight was certainly necessary for the same. Arrogance and overconfidence are both weaknesses. Frailty is a game-ender, not a weakness. Someone frail would never be able to make it as a hunter, unless they had truly prodigious power at their fingertips. She has low defense, but she is not frail.

Blake's glaring weakness probably has to do with her relatively low defense. That is, like Weiss, she likely cannot take many hard hits - she's just really good at dodging and parrying. In other words, if she were to pick a fight with someone like Nora, if they managed to hit her, she'd be screwed. ^.^; That, or I am way off, and her weakness would be someone faster than her, like Ruby, or maybe Weiss.

Weiss' fighting style sort of reminds me of Aqua's, from KH: BBS. =P
