I liked the Sniper as a way of changing the pace of the fight from a straight up brawl. I've heard a lot of complaints about the joke ending, but I personally don't think it was that bad (the main saving throw was that, being a tournament rather than a serious battle, BRNZ wouldn't look good if they just attacked JNPR when they were distracted.)

Personally, my biggest complaint about Round One seemed to be fixed in this episode. in RWBY's fight characters that were offscreen or out of focus seemed to just stop and do nothing until they were the center of attention again. In this episode, both fights had background details that implied otherwise, and it seemed more like a continous battle rather than a progression of events.
