If you're talking about Yang, we've seen multiple times that she's not the best fighter. She's the physically strongest, but not the best fighter. Honestly, if we're going by team RWBY I'd say it's either Ruby or Weiss because they have the thing that wins fights easier: Versatility
Honestly, Yang to be seems to be a PERFECT example of Unskilled, but Strong. She has no real tactics aside from "punch shit".
That too.
RWBY seems to be a series-wide case of Force and Finesse.
And the "Finesse" group seems to always trump the "Force" group.

That's just not true. Yang is definitely the best fighter of team RWBY, though I'd say Pyrrha is better than her. She's brash, impulsive and loses her temper easily, but from a choreography point of view she still blows the other out of the water in one-on-ones. They chose her to rep RWBY in the singles round for a reason.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.
She can now.
Sorry, I worded it wrong:
I'm saying that Yang's a Close-Range Combatant who's main skill is melee brawling. Her Semblance plays it further. And as we saw with her "fight" against Neo, Yang's greatest strength is also her weakness. If she can't get damaged enough to get her Semblance going, she's going to get beaten.
And being a good melee fighter is great, if you're only fighting in melee. If you meet someone who can outrange you, you lose. If you meet someone who's got counters up the wazoo, you lose.
Yang's not the best fighter on RWBY because she has a Crippling Overspecialization.
Weiss is also the Squishy Wizard of the group. No shit she got beat.

"Ozpin, Neo, Adam, and others disagree. "
Adam use even more force than her, Ozpin is OP aparenly(and is still capture...somehow) and Neo is the only time where style fight beat streght
Just look Weiss vs Not-leatherface: the guy just take her face and plum to the ground montain style, I stil said is the most WTF moment in the entire series.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"
Exactly.
Also, I was just talking in Skype about this:
Weiss isn't the Squishy Wizard, she's worse than that.
A rapier-wielder, who has buffs for allies and herself?
She's the Bard of the group
No wonder she gets beat a a lot. The bard isn't supposed to get into melee combat, especially not one-on-one combat
You're confusing narrative victory with actual fighting ability. Ruby and Weiss are able to hold their own because of being able to use their surroundings as the plot calls for it. Yang is able to hold her own because she's a super-capable and skilled fighter. Her issues are because she's very hot-headed, not because she's a melee-fighter.

"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-Mae@Nocturne: Can you give me an example? Like only time I can think Blake using more than one clone is in beginning of Season 3, and that was once.
Also, one thing about Blake's clones is that they are less like clones and more like substitutes. She can either leave one behind to block an attack or to use one to boost her forwards. However, I cannot recall her being able to send a clone to directly attack, like say Hibiki.
Basically what I am saying that I would like for Blake's clones to act on their own.
Only sometimes postsThey are not. Narrative victory relies more on varying factors that the character has no control over. Extreme cases take the form of Deus ex Machina, but a good example of this is how RWBY and JNPR took out the big grimm bird and the scorpion in the beginning. By all accounts they were a much more difficult enemy than they should be able to handle, but by making use of what they had they were able to overcome their opponents.
Contrast with actual fighting ability, Yang clearly has a lot more training and skill in armed combat than the other members of team RWBY (similar to Pyyrha from JNPR), but the circumstances that she fights has just as much effect on the fight as her skill- explaining why Neo and Adam kicked her ass.

Honestly, I don't know how to even see the scene. Did she create last-second clone or was the Blake what ran to Yang clone the whole time? If latter, how did Blake snatch Yang away under Adam's nose like that? Also, nothing at that scene implied she created multiple clones.
Also, to elaborate further, what I want to see is Blake creating multiple clones at once and attacking someone in unison, or attacking multiple targets like that.

x7 Edward and Rydia had a child. That child was the first Schnee.
Weiss is very much in the class of Squishy Wizard. She's a Black Mage, she's a Bard, she's also a Summoner.
@Blake's Clones. Eventually Blake will learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu as an expansion on her Semblance. We'll still complain about Blake being useless because the technique requires a lot of Aura to use.

Yeah, feral state and transformation sound like fan fiction ideas, and we already have that silver eyes bullshit right now
"that they're literally just people looking with ears and a tail." fixed for you
And so far is a problem of the show playing uber badass with strong punch over agiltity and other ways of fighting.
