Ruby's downscaling chain

ace opts < team RWBY and anyone on par with them (team rwby without aura could survive a blast from madien cinder but were blasted into the void despite being able to fly via ki) < Bann (pre zenki), Base Penny and winter, base cinder, Neo (winter could somewhat hold her own against Cinder and could survive attacks from Fall maiden cinder without aura, but was getting stomped) < ironwood (Ironwood beat down winter) < Bann (post zenki: 7.4 Exatons, Bann is 4 times weaker then cinder without his semblance) <<<< Fall Madien Cinder Fall (killed ozpin who was on par with prime king piccolo)

My quick analysis.

AP: Ruby has almost a 5x AP and dura advantage over Yamato, and while Yamato can somewhat lower the gap with their Zoan forms, Busoshoku, and Haoshoku Haki, Ruby will still have an ap advantage and can use Gravity Dust rounds delivery devastating blows and Ki to amp herself even more.

Durability: Yamato fairs a little bit better thanks to their ice armor on top of Zoan forms as well as Busoshoku and Haoshoku Haki, they still are gonna be taking quite a bit of damage cause from Ruby's blows. Meanwhile Ruby has her aura that is a forcefield that blocks all harmful blows until it breaks, and if that happens Ruby becomes a bit more vulnerable and can finally be harmed, but Yamato would still have to land several blows before they could seriously harm an unprotected Ruby and Ruby could still amp her defense with Ki.

For Dura and AP, while Yamato has means to shorten the gap, Ruby's big advantage makes it easier for her to damage Yamato and wear them down while Yamato is gonna be fighting an uphill battle.

Speed: it's been equalized so their base speed is the same. Yamato can amplify their speed with their Zoan forms so as to gain an advantage over Ruby, and their Thunder Bagua attack is even faster than that, basically a blitz attack. Ruby's semblance allows her to blitz people comparable to her base speed, so with it she'll be able to blitz Base Yamato and at least be much faster than Zoan and Hybrid Yamato, but Thunder Bagua is likely comparable, maybe faster than Ruby's semblance.

Since Yamato will likely transform early on to shorten the gap between them, that means that Yamato will have the speed advantage for the most part except for when Ruby uses her semblance (which she does like spamming in the later volumes), where Yamato will be extremely pressured (although Kenbunshoku Haki will basically mitigate the speed gap), but they can use Thunder Bagua for their own blitz attacks if need be.

Lifting Strength: Yamato by far. If they really wanted to, they could hold Ruby down without much trouble.

Stamina: I'm not to sure about the difference.

Range: In CQC Yamato would have more reach with their weapon cause of their size compared to Ruby, but Ruby can just snipe at Yamato with her sniper rounds or ki blasts at ranges that Yamato can only cover with Narikabura.

I'm not voting for anyone right now, I'm just noting down some stuff.
 
BTW Ruby's aura has survived blasts from cinder who scales above baseline moon level

But given aura acts like a health bar this shouldn't be a problem

Also when ruby fought Neo who can't fly at the end of the Atlas Arc, she flew above her and range spamed her with ki blast attacks

For the lifting strength part, Ruby can just use her semblance to get out of them holding her down or them trying to restrain her like what she did with hariet in cannon

For stamina, Ruby can mutilate hordes of monsters by herself and can train for days with minimal rest and she can fight hordes of Grimm for a day straight before tiring and can fight on and off for two days straight with minimal rest, as well as being comparable to the likes of Clover, Winter, Yang, Weiss, Blake, and Adam, who can continue fighting even after their Aura reserve has been drained

while Yamato can even while their stamina was hindered by seastone handcuffs they fought against Ace to the point he reached exhaustion, who is able to continually battle for 5 days straight. They fought through the entire Onigashima Raid without reaching their stamina threshold, despite fighting against their father and many notable combatants. Endured an onslaught of explosions to protect Momonosuke remaining standing and unwavering, took a continuous barrage of blows from Kaidou, yet moments later got back up and continued fighting despite his injuries. As a child, they were imprisoned, surviving 10 days without food or water

Seems Yamato has the better stamina
 
Fair point, as her semblance is like a logia (turning into molecules) but she could also just use a Kiai
 
What's stopping ruby from flying above her, range spaming her with ki attacks and beams and roses and using the Kienzan from cutting her in half
  • Kienzan: Jaune's signature technique that he made, which Ruby copied from him. Raising her hand above her head, Ruby creates a razor-sharp disc of ki with incredible cutting power, and then throws it at her opponent. It should be noted that the Kienzan can cut through opponents that are several times stronger and more durable.
