I'm gonna have to disagree with your comment about Qrow "slipping" against the Sphinx. It all his times on screen he has had five or six fights/implied fights against Grimm. In order those are the Beowolves seen in Yangs flashback story from V2 Chap 6, a single Beowolf in V3 Chap 10, the Griffon in V3 Chap 11, the implied fight with four beowolves in V4 Chap 4 and finally the Sphinx in V6 Chap 1.

Of those the Sphinx is the only one that has given him trouble, and thats mostly because that Sphinx in one tough S.O.B. Practically boss level grimm tough, remember the turrets on the Argus Limited? The ones that were one shot-ing the Manticores? That Sphinx took four or five hits from one of them in the neck region, to practically no effect. Meaning it is far superior to all of the other Grimm Qrow has been shown dispatching, including that Griffon in volume 3.

I wouldn't call that Qrow "slipping," unless you're reffering to how he was knocked down by its fireball attack. To which I'd say take note of the fact that Harbinger was in scythe form when he blocked it and the fireball hit the shaft of the sycthe. Which I might add that, unlike the body of Crescent Rose, is nothing more than a shaft and therefore horribly unsuited to blocking attacks like that. Hell we see Ruby block two or three similar attack from the Manticores within the same episode using the wider body of Crescent Rose around where the magazine is placed so yeah.

Just some stuff to keep in mind.
