Mercury: Skilled fighter, no qualms with murder. Any adult huntsman could probably take him fine though, definitely Qrow's level. Two fast trainees could probably take him out if you want the bare minimum, Blake and Fox are probably skilled enough, alternatively swap out Fox for Weiss to slow Merc down with ice and speed up Blake with haste.

Cinder: Ain't getting one on one'd, unless it's Ruby and she manages to let off another SEW blast. No students are taking her on, no matter how many you throw together or in what configuration. What you need are what should've been protecting Amber, the Ozluminati. Even without Oz, the rest (Qrow, Glynda and Ironwood) should be skilled enough to take her down.

Neo: Neo is like a mix of Em and Merc, tough and quick with ease of diversion. Without Roman she is only going to be stronger. Blake and Weiss would probably be able to work well together against her and manage for the same reasons as Merc, plus they're teammates and probably the smarter ones of the group.

Tyrian: One on one against Qrow if you want a fight that can go either way, being stalemated almost. Otherwise through in Glynda or hell even Tai to take Tyrian. Okay! Now we're talking my language. Violence.

Emerald is a problem IF you don't know she does hallucinations. If you know then you'll likely see thru it like with hypnosis or brainwashing. It takes will power to resisit. Like in Nikos' fight when she would sometimes see what we real even when Em was trying to ruin her vision. But yeah at least two against her is a safe bet.

Merc is a handful but all it takes is matching that speed. I agree Qrow could take him, but it could likely be hi standing still waiting for Merc and countering him. I like your idea with Weiss and Blake team up on him. That's a V.

Cinder is overrated. Maybe now that she has the Maiden power she's a big deal and it would take the adult to drop her. But without it, she uses glass. GLASS! Against people who ain't exactly throwing clay balls around. They use bullets and beams. But She is good and reworking the glass to move around targets. So if not for Glynda, IronW, and Qrow, then I'd get Winter switch in if any one of those 3 wasn't around.

Neo is one of my favorite fighting styles of the villains. I'm not sure that Torch was holding her back. You never know, with Torch gone, she might be enraged and get sloppy. Maybe even become a clumsy serial killer chasing after Ruby and Yang on some Jane the Ripper shit.

Tyrian losing to Tai seem odd. What do we know about Tai in a fight. Wise, yes. Skilled, yes. But can he stand up to the madness that is Tyrian. Qrow wasn't phased, but Tai might give pause. What if Tyrian started saying crazy stuff to throw him off his game? Like talking about how he hurt Ruby? Head games to win. But yeah. He's a weak range fight, Glynda just needs someone to keep him away and he'll get demolished by her.
