Any advantages in mobility  she has over her team mates, ignoring weapons and Semblances, boil down to training, excercise, and inherent athletic potential (some people are just better physically suited to certain things, can't control it, Faunus traits would rarely be applicable). her eyes and ears are superior though, which almost certainly means her reaction speed is better, especially when combined with her greater experience, even if her actual musculature isn't inherently better as a faunus. @Sentry 616: So basically experience\training and athletic potential theoretically give Blake the advantage over Ruby with this one. Hmmm, it may be true since that actually happens IRL.

@73: There are cases where people can follow movement with their eyes and ears but can't react fast enough to dodge or catch whatever it is thrown at them. Perception does not equate to reaction time. Still, your point stands that one can be trained\gain experience to react to such stimuli, effectively giving the advantage in perception. However, Blake's agility will still be confined to her peak athletic potential.

I guess we wouldn't know for sure until RT reveals it, but it seems the discussion is in favor of Blake at the moment.
