This fight is definitely underrated imo

One thing I think is underrated specifically about this fight is how it displays the teams inexperience, but also shows how they're already on the path to becoming *efficient.* (Continuing in the replies because Twitter character limit is hideous and limiting me)

this beat is wild

Fun fact: The Team Combo attacks & this fight was partly inspired by Monty Oum watching The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Specifically: the scene of the dwarves riding down the river all while fighting orcs with unique precision. He really liked it & thus RWBY V2.

Torchwick getting hit with Bumbleby (he survives)

They really don't put much into aura In theory, aura techniques could range from those aura slashes to literally flash step

Iconic. Weiss’s time dilation on Blake (which we haven’t seen since up to where you are), the group combos, and finally getting to see Yang’s semblance with a proper understanding. It’s perfect

Tbf this whole fight is good just sucks that this is the only time we see like 90% of there team attacks

Casually throwing out ship names and proceeding to give Roman a worse jumping than Tyrian and Qrow did to Clover.

this to me is peak rwby and monty at his best, it's the definitive monty era rwby fight, almost as good as his rvb stuff

Okay Blake calm down We get it You play Devil May Cry No need to stunt on us

Couple things I just noticed - Yang can just shatter a mech but Hush still totally stops her projectile Ig her semblance doesn't effect them? or at least not as strongly - Why does Roman know Weiss' nickname as Ice Queen?
