use vs hunters... slim to none, until slim to competent. against grim?... kind of like the flash, if he isn't fighting the ultra powerful... he could win easily... as long as he's in the fight. As a hunter he would be more useful like Oobleck, gathering intelligence in the field on grimm behavior(as opposed to killing them outright). to balance his skill improvement I would say Grimm are harder to read as they age(but no Aura blur so not that much harder, they just become harder to read as they overcome their single-minded hostility).

I like to calculate powers/abilities on a developmental scale too, to better fit with series like this. When he enters beacon, he has very little combat training, he is quasi-athletic(juggling/acrobatics), and his ability can sometimes be as much hindrance as help, unlike the other students whom I assume would evolve to greater power, he adapts to be able to use his better, reducing "aura glare", the number of possible futures he sees(or increasing the number he can comprehend, but remember this is seconds/minutes, not longer), Aura getting more powerful etc.

the average person (inactive Aura) on Remnant is much less of a problem than a hunter for him(though still harder to comprehend with his semblance than grimm),
