Poor Ren. Monty needs to do himself justice! I don't think he could have beat Yang, but I'm annoyed that she took care of Ren so easily. I had absolutely no problems with Jaune getting owned, though. The other main characters are so far out of his league that it's not even funny. He doesn't even have a fighting style; he just swings his sword and hopes to get lucky. People want him to hurry up and be a badass, but he's not and it'll take a lot longer than a year for him to reach his teammates' level.

Also, I didn't expect Nora to do so well. She doesn't seem to have much technical skill, relying largely on instinct in fights. While that does work, it can only get one so far. Pyrrha, on the other hand, did as expected. She's easily the most skilled out of all the main characters and has the reputation to back it up.
