Sorry, but I think you missed the point of my post a bit ... this isn't a strongest to weakest competition. I was talking about physical strenght, not combat feats.

Either way I gotta disagree heavily with that Yang argument. You say she relays alot on her Semblance, but she only relayed heavily on it in Post Volume 3( in fact she didn't even used it against Team ARBN). She only used it to win against Adam and the Ace Ops, and she did it in a smart way. She didn't beated them alone yes, but now she uses her Semblance as a great trump card in combat and she make's good use of it.

Nora is a very strong but slugish fighter. She doesn't have the the amount of speed or agility like Yang does and has her power limited on electricity sources.

Yatsuhashi still beats Jaune in physical strenght, not to mention that this guy holded of Mercury pretty well, defeated Sun and managed to fight against proffessional huntsman in Vacuo.

Hazel can't use magic tho? He can only inject himself with Dust and block out pain.

Cinder and Penny should more be top, since their magic abilities beats the other character. They can flight at superhuman speed, control all elements, manipulate the weather and do other crazy stuff. Not to mention that both are top fighters. Cinder holded off both Penny and Winter and Penny fought against 4 Ace Ops at once. Hazel is strong, but limited on his Dust recources. Qrow is also strong, doesn't however has any large scale abilities or attacks.

Ironwood is hard to rank, I admitt.
