They said the same for the Meta, and yet look who showed up in a Death Battle against Carolina that was a canon episode, if only for the fact it was arguing between who was stronger and still a hypothetical battle. But this is all hypothetical still.

@FANDOM: Interesting thoughts here. If we look at Neo's fighting style, she tends to evade and use the opponent's strengths against them. She's very much a finesse fighter, who does well against strong and slow opponents. Ruby was faster than Yang, sure, but she still got owned based on the environment and her moveset didn't vary a lot through most of the fight. The real question to me is whether Weiss can vary her moves enough to keep up. She certainly has the speed and agility for it, at least. Finesse might be the best way to keep up, but she'd have to varied.

@Spirit: Neo's illusion Semblance is the main wild card in play here, and more or less it could be Neo's trump card. My issue with that though is two things: How often do we think can it be used? Because she doesn't seem to use the Shatter aspect that often. And more importantly, whenever she uses it, it seems like she disappears for a good deal of time, so I'm not sure if that means Weiss gets owned because Neo COULD be right behind her immediately, or if it means Neo has to fidn the right time to attack. I do agree with your reasoning on Summons though.

@Mint: I agree with your reasoning with Blake in that sort of hypothetical situation. I also agree with pretty much all of the people you say woudl nto be able to win against here. Ruby didn't, Yang didn't, Jaune can't beat anybody, Nora's too slow, and Ren's attacks are too weak and inaccurate.

Blake with Dust usage would be probably even deadlier than Weiss' usage of Dust since it'd be unexpected, but she might lose that element of surprise once Neo sees the clones. Still, its nto a part of her standard loadout, so I question if she could still hold up without it.

Pyrrha would certainly keep up and have some strong defense as well, but if we look at her attacks, most don't seem to do a lot of damage, or glance off too easily. It's when she augments with kicks and grapples that she gets better damage. Pyrrha's Semblance probably coudn't be a major trump card, because Neo's still pretty effective with grapples and melee even when not using her umbrella. Pyrrha's rifle probably would've been helpful too, btu she stands still a lot when she's rifling, so that might be a downside to it.

Sun too, could probably use clones to help sniff out the illusions, provided he lets them dispel and explode once they hit. Considering how Ember Celica couldn't do much against Neo, even at point blank, I dont know how helpful Ruyi & Jingu Bang would be be for Sun, as it has a simialr power-level btu higher speed.
