What's the AP difference?

 

[Fezzih_007]

Low 6-B vs Low 7-C? I don't they share a Key.

Low 6-C? What, that's not even a real tier.

Typo

What's the AP difference?

They only share High 8-C key so assuming Burst Katsuragi and Post Beacon Yang:

• Katsuragi is 7.616 Tons
• Yang is 8.71 Tons

They only share High 8-C key so assuming Burst Katsuragi and Post Beacon Yang:

• Katsuragi is 7.616 Tons
• Yang is 8.71 Tons

Since the OP didn't specify which Key is in use then we have to go by SBA and assume them at their peak, so Yang One-Shots.

Edit: I'm an idiot and can't read apparently.

• Yang is 8.71 Tons

Since Beacon Yang precisely is being used, then her AP is 3.41 Tons

So Yang is at a noticeable disadvantage then. Does she have the skill to make up for it? I don't know anything about RWBY skill anymore since it seems to constantly change on what's accepted as skill or not.

Yang does have Burn which and I quote from her page:

the ability to absorb energy from the damage she has taken, and redirect it twice as hard at her opponent, effectively making her stronger with each hit she takes. She can save up the energy to use later for an even more devastating attack. Her ability also causes her eyes to change color from lilac to red, which is a "side-effect" of her Semblance, though it does occasionally happen outside of combat. When using her Semblance, she draws power from her hair. However, Yang's Semblance does not grant her invincibility and she does take damage from her opponents, as shown when Adam Taurus cuts her right arm off with Wilt and Blush. Although a powerful Semblance, Yang is unable to power it up without taking damage first, and fighters well-versed in dodging attacks can potentially bypass it entirely, rendering the added power useless. In early volumes her anger also caused her to unintentionally activate her Semblance

Although Katsuragi does have Frantic Mode as a way to increase her power too

In and analysis of the Yellow Trailer, I found out that Yang can perform a Dempsey Roll

Well she has her aura which lets her take multiple hits from characters stronger than her.

Honestly I'm not 100% sure myself. There's a lot I could go into but gist of it is that Yang can casually outmatch groups of enemies and Grimm much larger than herself in hand-to-hand combat is comparable to others who can do the same. Her Intelligence section goes into more detail about her skill and fight style.

Speed is unequalized too:

Yang is Mach 6 while Katsuragi is Mach 5.102

So take everything I said about Yagyu, apply it here, and switch ice for wind and energy blast kicks. Except, problem, Shinobi Barriers—Instead of harming her opponent—ASSIST her by emphasizing Yang’s close quarter fighting style. And while Katsuragi is a whole double her opponent, Burn makes this meaningless. On top of that, like Ruby, she has all the experience needed to counter her opponent’s main gimmicks.

That, combined with the nearly DOUBLE speed gap? (That’ll get worse as Burn empowers her?) Yang. Easily.

Not even Frantic Mode will help?

 

[RedReaper616]

I mean, not really. All it does is buff Yang in turn via Burn. It’d only matter if Frantic Mode is a huge buff, similar to how the Dodonpa is a basic instakill for people near Tao’s level in physicality.
