Ooh, very nice question! For me, it would be Team RWBY vs Torchwick's mech. It did a great job of displaying how well the team has learned to work together from their time at Beacon, and also showed how far Ruby has come as a leader. She might not have landed the finishing blow, but I personally think that fight was a crowning moment of awesome for her more than anyone, even Yang. Also, Neo was cool. And Torchwick too; that guy makes everything awesome.

Second would be Torchwick vs Blake and Sun. It not only illustrated and set up Blake's development for volume 2, but also showed that Torchwick can fight! And he fights like a boss; shotgun nunchaku and shadow clones can't even faze the guy; he blocked every single strike with no problem, laughing all the while. Torchwick showed a lot of skill in that fight; he had to have had Huntsman training of some kind, because that kind of sword/caneplay isn't something you can just pick up on the street.

Third would be Weiss vs the Giant Armor in the White trailer. The whole fight, aside from demonstrating how beautiful Weiss' fighting style is and how it can be applied to a one-on-one battle, also seemed like one big metaphor for her internal struggles. Her resolve, her sadness...I could get a sense of the side of her that we haven't fully seen in that one fight. The way it paralleled to her singing for an audience, the song that she sung in the first place, and the Giant Armor itself all had a greater meaning than was at first apparent.

Special mention goes to Ruby vs White Fang mook. That was the bigggest curbstomp of the entire show, and the main character was on the recieving end! RWBY isn't your average series, that's for sure.
