All of them are probably a pretty even match, for any of the others, with the exception I think being Weiss would be demolished by Ruby. I feel like Wiess will end up being the team "Heavy Hitter", so to speak.

All the other members of team RWBY are speed based fighters to some degree. While its obvious with Ruby and Blake, even Yang tends to go with a "overwhelm the enemy with a barrage of powerful attacks" strategy. While they are all ferocious fighters, and definitely a force to be reckoned with, I feel like Wiess's Dust based abilities will serve the teams "powerful, single-strike" needs. Her abilities feel more single-target oriented than the rest of the team, in that she specialises in Crushing the enemy with a single, overwhelming attack. In contrast, Blake for example is almost the polar opposite: In her trailer, she is EXTREMELY fast, and decimates hordes of mook-level enemies with little to no effort, but struggles to fight enemies with a significant power gap (e.g. the spider droid).
