Right now i feel like Neo is the most powerful character that we have a reliable gauge on. She was perfectly ready to take on 3 members of RWBY at once and almost killed Yang with no probs. Ofcourse Ravens dramatic introduction only showed that she is in a league of her own aswell.

As for Merc/Pyrrha, i think Mercury would lose, his main and only weapons are his greaves wich are metal. If Pyrrha so chose too, she could use her semblance to win that matchup. Her weakness probably lies in opponents that use dust/aura related techniques like Glynda and Cinder. Wich is why Mercury said Cinder could take her no problem.

Id just like to see the Yang vs Mercury fight because it was hinted in the season 2 opening and they both have a cool but opposite martial arts style of fighting.

I'm also convinced that with Neo at large, Roman isnt worried a tiny bit, her skills would probably make her more than capable of busting him out. Resulting in Ironwood seeming incompetent much like Ozpin. (Perhaps their plan all along!)
