Funny thing about that - it seems that there are several problems with the fights besides whatever TheFloofArtist finds in his vids.

For starters, the frame rate from 30fps to 24 fps has made the fights seen a little choppy. And in Faboover's analysis of the V4 opening (V4 Miscellaneous reviews), he says that the frames are spread out fluidly over a long period of time, thus giving the appearance of slowness. Then we have the increasing amounts of cuts and closeups per fight (not as close to the average Hollywood movie), and the context for having these fights lack an emotional attachment (or are weighted down by all the other crap that goes down anyways), making most of them feel quite forgettable. We also have people standing there doing nothing in the middle of a fight. It's like they're asking to get attacked.

And finally, it seems that some of the characters don't seem to fight like their styles at all. Ren's not using his martial arts, Qrow dodges and flips around like crazy when fighting Tyrian ... and so on.
