2) Why did Jaune fall over and groan from an off balance swing just waiting for Cinder to put her foot on him?

3) Why was Weiss just sitting there after her aura wore off?

4) Why did everyone just watch  as Jaune charged at Cinder? I don't understand. This fight was so stagnant and bland. I love RWBY so much, but this episode was VERY unsatisfying. No one was DOING anything, RWBY characters jump and dart around in their fights, this was like everyone was in a single square and stayed in it.

5) Why wasn't there any team fighting? Both trios trained together and would know they fight best together, right? 1. Emerald didn't give her a chance to use it, she had Ruby on the defensive the whole fight, that seems the best explanation to me.

2. Because he almost missed with that attack, and had taken quite a pounding before that, so he wasn't gonna pop back up so easily.

3. She was in pain after her Aura broke, and Vernal gave her no quarter.

4. That was the whole idea, divide and conquer. Ever since Jaune leaped in, the villains have had all but total control of the flow of the battle. Save for Mercury, Raven, and Lionheart, they've dominated their opponents.

5. See point 4
