the other problem is scale... I've said it before, but I think it bears particular relevance in this case:

RWBY works in a video game mindset.

what this means is that a straight up comparison of both characters can be made... but only if you use examples from similar levels. You can't say Tifa would accomplish much of anything vs Sephiroth at levels 1-15... that just would not happen. While I admit unfortunately FF7 is the first FF game in sequence I have not played, I have seen it played, and I believe even attempting a low level run you actually need a higher level than FF4(which I believe required at least level 30) to get to the Sephiroth fight.

Meanwhile, we have Yang in RWBY, which depending on how Remnant scales, was likely somewhere in the 1-10 range during "Yellow"(I would estimate somewhere closer to 5-10 based on the fact she not only had a wide move-set but also seemed to take next to no damage). Her current level in the series is likely closer to 15-30(I would assume not more than level 20, solely based on how much more RWBY there was planned, and that they are still in Beacon, and also because this theory of how Remnant works explains Zwei as a level 50+ hunters pet that is himself in the level 30-60 range.)

In other words, Yang vs RWBY's big bad will likely be comparable to Tifa vs Sephiroth, but you can in no way compare the latter to Yang at her present level, even Advent Children's Tifa is likely too over-leveled to properly compare... and she got her ass beat by a fraction of Sephiroth's power.
