I feel Jaune's going to be a bit of surprise. He may be a little uncoordinated, and I feel his clumsiness will help him fair well in a fight. Plus, he has a nice defense and offense compared to the others.

Pyrrha vs Yang will be something to see, since Yang is physically the strongest on Team RWBY, and has the ability to create fire, and Pyrrha is the best fighter on Team JAUN. I'm not sure what else Pyrrha's spear can do, but it'll be over the top.

Ruby's first fight will probably end with her losing. Yes, this is probably a shock when compared to her trailer, but she had to be bailed out by Glynda in the first episode. And the past episodes have been building her up for a fail due to over-confidence. Who'd she lose against is hard to say, I'm just thinking she'll lose one of her first.

Weiss may also lose due to overconfidence, but possibly not. It may depend on her upbringing (she may have been trained to be good in battle, with or without overconfidence). Weiss vs Nora would be something, mostly because Nora may annoy Weiss throughout the fight, distracting the other girl, and causing Weiss to lose.

All speculation on my part though.
