As they stand right now, Yang without a doubt. Weiss has a ton of tricks, but she struggles to pull them all together into a cohesive battle strategy.

Yang is a martial artist/monk first and foremost, her body is her weapon and her shield. She hits harder, is tankier, is physically faster, and falls on her ass less then Weiss. Weiss is lithe, but she is only faster than Yang when using her Semblance to bounce around.

Weiss has the higher ceiling, for sure. Yang's bullet's chip damage aside, Weiss out ranges her with every facet of her combat portfolio. Her Dust opens up a massive bag of tricks, her semblance has some tricks and enables her to fight on a volumetric level and gives her crazy mix up potential, and she can summon. In theory, she should become one of the most powerful characters in the show. But her dismal mastery of using all of her abilities cohesively hinders her. Maybe she just needs more one on one fights in show.

As I see it, Yang as Yang would whoop Weiss as Weiss 65/35. Daigo "The Beast" as Weiss would whoop Daigo "The Beast" as Yang 90/10.

Weiss is my best girl, I'm not dissing her. After seeing her latest character trailer, I think the animators have started homing in on how she should fight. Then again, they make her randomly throw her fight a moment later. And that is probably my biggest gripe as the show goes on, that they incessantly having characters steal their fights from themselves.
