One of my biggest pet peeves of this show is the lack of teamwork like you mentioned. In the V1  and V2 fights, Team RUBY and JNPR used combined attacks rather often, especially when fighting the nevermore and (whatever the scorpion Grimm is called.) The characters combined everything they were good at, which is what should have happened here. I think in this episode, Miles and Kerry were trying to make a bunch of rivals vs rivals, but it just doesn't work here. It made a lot more sense in "No Brakes" and "Battle of Beacon" because the characters were separated. Here they are all in the same room, yet we've gotta have that 1v1 thing going on. Not only that but it's hard to tell all the fights are taking place at the same time. Nobody is shown fighting in the background when there is a particular focus on a certain fight. Heck, it's surprising no one bumps into each other since there are like 14 people in the same room all leaping around and junk. Ruby not using her semblance is incredibly stupid, considering the fact she uses it when she and Yang train, but nooo we've gotta have the silver eyes that Ruby doesn't know how to use and does nothing here. Ruby regains consciousness in the nest episode (like a minute or two later.) Whereas last time it was a couple of days. The VA and emotion in this episode is good, and Juane and Oscar are nice to see in action, but the fights just don't seem natural for this universe.
