The doubles choice at least gives us the Yang v Mercury and Weiss v Emerald fights we've been promised. I'm guessing that doubles match is going to be very close.

We know that Mercury is going to give Yang some trouble with his kicks, and I don't know about Weiss but I don't think she really has any defense against ranged, gunslinger-type fighters. We've seen her deflect the Gaint Armor's sword, and the Boarbatusk, but I'm not sure glyphs work as well against multiple smaller, faster projectiles like bullets beyond pulling up a wall of ice, which would limit her vision and allow a potential opening for a fast, rogue-like attacker such as Emerald.

The only way I can see them winning is by pulling some kind of switcheroo, with Yang easily overpowering Emerald after Weiss incapacitates Mercury somehow.
