I agree with Dayne's assessment of things. Kaneki and Saiko both demonstrate the amazing versatility but have different priorities and styles of things.

As Eto once explained, kagune are limited only by the quantity/quality of RC cells and the imagination/intelligence of the user. Saiko has both factors in spades, with an incredibly powerful kagune and a vivid imagination with good technical skills.

Describing her as "only making fists" requires ignoring literally everything else she has done. Like Kaneki, Saiko is someone that is capable of creating intricate structures with her kagune. She was able to not only create realistic, functional limbs with her kagune..... but she routinely imitates both real and fantasy objects with her kagune. She was making functional imitations of weapons from series she likes, and seems to have some good understanding of how things work. Because it isn't simply a matter of making it look like something, she creates functional complex forms.

This seems to be something she learned from Sasaki, whether he directly taught her or she learned from observing him. Kaneki is also someone that demonstrates an understanding of functional forms. He doesn't just make big stuff, he can create complex structures that function in specific ways. For example, the pseudo-limb he made while fighting Kanae -- it imitated the full functions of an arm and hand. This is something that is actually very different in engineering, replacing an arm and a hand is much more difficult because it involves so many intricate, moving parts.

Both are people with strong RC cells, and minds that can not only dream up these vivid forms but also figure out how to actually make them work.
