Here's my opinion:

1. Yes, Ruby's trailer makes her look like a total bada$$ but remember that she had both range and melee on her side against opponents who did not seem very intelligent and who had to get in close.

2. Weiss may seem weak compared to Ruby but her weapon, outfit, and stage seem to imply a more formal, 'classroom-like' fighting style, which probably means that she doesn't have the raw experience that Ruby so obviously has.

3. Different kinds of opponents call for different kinds of fighting styles. Ruby hacked and slashed up a bunch of pawns while Weiss had to fight a boss-level opponent, which are always a little harder than the dumb-a$$ minions. Blake proves this by beating the s*** out of the regular 'bots but she had a harder time the the boss-level spider droid.
