@SYUTK My first thought while reading your comment was "Emerald throws a sickle to catch Yang, but Blake shoots the sickle to knock it away."

I took issue with the fact that there were so many scenes where everyone just stood around, and the bad guys just let the good guys stand there and talk to each other or catch their breath.

For example, in Downfall. Look at this screenshot. Yang, Ren, Qrow, and Oscar are catching their breath, and Ruby and Nora are standing around. Lionheart is standing on the stairs, within view, weapon at the ready, looking right at Qrow and Oscar and possibly Ren. Emerald and Mercury definitely weren't out of the fight. If they were, we don't see that. We don't even know where Jaune is.

Why did the good guys get to just rest like that instead of getting beaten while they're down?

Miles and Kerry wanted to have dramatic little moments between the characters but couldn't think of a way to make those happen in the middle of the battle other than having the bad guys be more polite than Canadians and letting them get several 5 minute breaks. The Battle of Haven would've been more interesting and could've felt more tense if the good guys had to work for their breaks due to the bad guys not stepping aside and letting them rest.
