1) Rather than overconfident, he's looking for a good challenge. If Pyrrha can give one then he's going to push her to go all out. Berserker type fighter.

2) They haven't known each other yet is what I thought. After that fight, maybe.

3) I doubt Emerald's thinking of anything; just silently watching. Also, whoever's idea it was, that training match seems to be the 'first round' to prove that they are much better than Beacon, by beating Beacon's current greatest Huntress-in-training.

4) Actually, reminds me far more of the kungfu movies you see in say, Jackie Chan, where there's many on the spot improvisation. Melanie's more conformed to a specific style, whereas his is very free.

5) I also think it's might not be allowed to use Semblance for that match. Regardless, Pyrrha hasn't used her Semblance, and Emerald hasn't used his. Since Pyrrha lost her weapon she might be forced to reveal her Semblance first (to recall her spear, or stall Emerald long enough to grab it), and that is a huge disadvantage.

6) Professional, but prone to indulge himself completely in a fight and might forgets his objective.
