But consider how fast Ruby was in close combat with the Beowolves, Crecent Rose gives her esentially 360 degrees of death with its center being Ruby, the circular nature of the movement and the large weapon size means that not only does Ruby have a reach advantage to go with her range and strength dominence, but every time she swings her sythe she also prevents her opponent from attacking there. Ruby also shows an awareness of her surroundings and an ability to anticipate her opponents moves in her fight with the Beowolves, meaning she might be able to predict Weiss's attacks. I  do not see how Weiss has an advantage, Ruby seems to be the supirior fighter close-range as well as long. Even with magic as a balancing factor we see Ruby useing Crecent Rose in ablazing fast combo without fireing it, all of Weiss's spells take time, time Ruby only takes to reload once in two-dozen Beowolves or so. In short, I vote Ruby lol
