It has absolutely nothing to do with the "Impact" in those shots. Especially because they are different kinds of shots. Copy pasting from my response to the anon who uploaded those pics: Actually, with the V5 pic, that's a different kind of "spark".

''In her Short, she started with a pair of explosive shells that resemble the ones she uses in V1-3, though they curve in a weird and useless trajectory instead of moving forward. ''

''Then she seemingly switched to a full-auto mode that had no explosions, which is the one you show in that pic. It's a completely different kind of shot, not just visually but in how it works. ''

''Even back in V1-3, EC seemingly had 2 kinds of shots: Shoots the shell, or just causes a fiery blast on the get go. ''

''Overall, I think you're comparing apples and oranges there. Same weapon, same character, but very different kinds of shots. ''

The problem is not that there isn't a "big bang". Or rather, not just that.

The problem is that the fights lack the speed, the flash, the excitement and jaw-dropping style that defined this show in V1-3 and is effectively the only reason the show even gained a reasonable fanbase at the beginning. Because aside from music, RWBY was a joke back in V1.

Yang's fight in her Character Short is effectively the only fight in this Volume that actually did it right, that actually captured to a good extent the style Monty introduced that everyone loved, in speed, music, flash, and so on.
