RWBY - RWBY vs AceOps! (Full Fight Clip) [1080p] 

This fight shows a huge difference between Team RWBY and the Ace Ops with how the latter was beaten that quickly one by one. Although it's true the Ace Ops are more experienced, they fail in terms of teamwork and communication compared to Team RWBY. However I'm guessing Ace Ops weren't all in agreement on having to go all out with Vine and Marrow holding back messed with their overall cooperation nor have they ever had to deal with crisis aversion in the off chance one of their members are knocked out. Another comparison is Ace Ops graduated from Huntsmen academy and trained in a controlled environment while you have Team RWBY and JNR having their academic years ripped from them and they had to cross the wilds to get to one kingdom and then again to get to Atlas having to contend with some of the most dangerous Grimm you can imagine and Salem's agents. Not only that, some of them had to go through mental and physical rehab/ readjust their fighting styles while even having to heavily compensate for losing one of their members.

"Her special power is losing every single fight she's been involved with" Weiss: Not anymore

Ruby when she's happy: "Let's be friends and save the world together!" Ruby when she's angry: MAXIMUN SASS

Harriet: “You think you can stop us? We’re the best Huntsmen in Atlas.” Ruby: “You were... then you trained us.” Ruby managed to deliver a burn after being subjected to a “ur mom” insult the previous episode.

Yang was the MVP here. Holy crap, she was using her brain.

Meanwhile, Salem be chilling on her GigaGrimmwhale eating popcorn and sipping Ozpin and Ironwoods tears watching. "Just as Planned."

Yang was so smart this fight, she intentionally ticked off Elm to get her to act emotionally during the fight, planting the bombs on Blake’s clone knowing that Vine was focused on restraining, and then destroying the floor to deprive Elm of her footing knowing how reliant she was on her Semblance to fight effectively. Those lessons with Tai really did pay off.

Jello: Weiss’ special power is losing every fight she’s ever been in! Weiss: *Hold my DUST!*

All of the Ace-Ops were defeated the way their counterparts were: 1. Harriet relied too much on speed and not enough on rational tactics, much like how the hare tired himself out and lost to the tortoise. 2. Vine and Elm tried to fight Blake and Yang separately rather than supporting one another, as the elm and the vine did in the original fable. 3. Marrow simply didn't use common sense at all, much like how the dog foolishly lept into the river and drowned (or got washed away to shore in some versions). 4. Unlike the lucky fisherman, Clover's good luck couldn't protect him against Tyrian's unpredictable nature.

Harriet met every Speedsters weakness. SUDDENLY WALL!

Goddamn I love how the mood changes once one of the Ops goes down. You can really tell that they've never lost before this and they have no idea what to do when their backs are against the wall like this.

1:13 Everyone there is fighting while hes just squidward dancing

I LOVE how team RWBY strategically uses their own semblances to counter against Ace Ops' semblances

Marrow seriously has an OP Semblance (the irony being that he's a dog fauns) He can literally freeze a person in place. It's like stopping time for them and them alone and congrats to Weiss for winning a fight by herself for once.

Some people say that the hammer wielding chick is too strong to be taken out by yang, but they forget yangs semblance is to literally do dish out twice the pain she gets

Interesting how Ruby had the hardest time with Harriet. Her weapons was just too big for a close quarters fighter like that and it really showed.

Yang: Guess we really... ACEd that fight Everyone: 😑 Announcer: K.O!

Just go to prove that Tai's lessons have gone beyond Yang now: Fight Smarter, not Harder.

I think Ruby realizes that Harriet is the biggest threat to the rest of her team. She purposefully separates her from the rest of the team by baiting her, knowing that Harriet has the biggest potential to lend support where its needed. With a speed semblance you can be everywhere at once, jumping in and out of action to be where you're most needed. Ruby knows that Harriet is faster than her, they already tested it, he semblance is more versatile, but for lending support it's not as good as Harriet's. Ruby has to trust that her will cooperate and come out on top without her support, and they do, but only because Harriet lets herself be baited away from the team she's supposed to support. I think this leads back to the conversation they had earlier about being friends vs being on a team. I think it's possible that Harriet assumes that team RWBY doesn't have the discipline to survive losing their leader, meaning that if she can take out Ruby quickly, the rest of the team will surrender without a fight. However, she underestimates Ruby as a strategist and a fighter, losing her team the fight.

Ruby: splits Harriet from the group, breaking the chain of command Ace Ops have. Yang: blasts the ground so Elm can't use her semblance. Genius runs in the family.

Please don't hurt the best boi... He's a lovely puppie, he's just misguided...

Ruby: lol we're the best team now Also Ruby, at 2:58 :Holy shit we actually beat someone

I fucking LOVE the moment at 2:53 Music kicks in right when RWBY gets the first KO of the fight. The aces ops realize they might lose, and RWBY realize they've got a shot. Love it

The main reason why Ace Ops lost is because of the culture ingrained within the Atlas. Each one of the team was picked to best compliment the overall performance without the consideration for their cohesiveness as a unit. Additionally, since the Ace Ops works like a machine, removing the Leader (Clover) means that they lack the direction. We have seen that Atlas is very big on following the orders of those with higher authority. In a normal situation, Clover would be there to call the shots and determine how much force their team can use. But without him, there is no one to reign them all in and so their own tempers clash.

Techincally its the best way to beat any speedster. Suddenly a wall.

2:54 Everyone deadass stopped what they were doing to peep that lol.

CAN’T ESCAPE FROM CROSSING FATE! “We’re the best huntsman in Atlas.” “You were...then you train us.” FIGHT! 0:12

I love how after Ruby was a savage to the Ace Ops, she rose bursted away, she knew about Marrow's semblance and if Marrow was a smart boy, he could've had 3 of team RWBY arrested with his stay semblance and then all 4 of the Ace Ops would've had to chase Ruby. I love how Weiss was using more dust diversity, yes she still primarily used ice, but she still used fire and wind dust a decent amount, it's some development to her fighting, maybe we'll see more of it in v8? I love how Blake was able to pedict and dodge most of the Ace Ops attacks unless she was caught off guard, it at least shows that Blake is truly a cat, can't catch them unless you trick them. Yang was so smart during this fight, destroying the ground, using Blake's shadows to hurt Vine, angering Elm, focusing on Elm mostly unless Vine needed to be dealt with etc. Tai, you're a great dad

Are we sure Harriet is based off a rabbit? Because she went HAM in that fight.

Vine: *Gets KOed* Everyone: 👀 Elm: Those girls just killed my husband! 😧 Marrow: Oop! I’m next! 👀

You can just see the ace ops fracturing here. None are on the same page, each are getting emotional to different degrees and want to settle things to different extents. She said it herself, they aren’t friends. When there’s disorder among them they have nothing to fall back on. Hell one of them advocated lethal force because she was angry and tried to rationalise it as an extension of the arrest order, but she’d just made that decision herself. For people just following orders, they seem to be deciding what those orders should mean a lot

Poor Marrow. I don't think he's 1v1 fighter. He and Weiss are both control mages but he's more of a supportive type.

3:36 Ruby got a punch in! I repeat: Ruby 'I can't fight without my Crescent Rose' ...Rose got a punch in on Harriet!

I gotta rant because this is by far my favorite fight in RWBY. It’s clear throughout the series that the AceOps are strong - but only together. They are a great team but can’t operate as efficiently as individuals. They rely too much on the others being there to back them up (as Harriet remarks after they secure the Schnee Mines), whereas RWBY can operate apart from each other. Their separation for volume 4-5 helped the, grow as individuals without relying on the others. how team RWBY fights them is incredible because they target the AceOps weaknesses while playing to their strengths. Ruby vs Harriet: Harriet is practically the leader when Clover isn’t there, so by separating her from the group Ruby is able to keep Harriet from unifying the Ace Ops. Ruby also edges her on by pulling out Harriets competitive side by challenging her and drawing her away in a race. We can also see how Ruby’s close combat has improved from Volume 5/6. Weiss vs Marrow: by separating Marrow from the group, his semblance cant be as effective - especially against Weiss who can summon creatures that can act apart from her. Also, where Marrow is hesitant, Weiss isn’t holding back (heck, she nearly skewers him). She could see his hesitation and used it against him. Blake and Yang vs Vine and Elm: Blake and Yang pull the two Ace Ops who have the least chemistry together. Vine and Elm have varying fighting styles and personal beliefs that make them incompatible together. Yang and Blake are practically one, being able to fight toward the same goal without needing to communicate. Just a glance and they already know what they need to do to support the other. It was also vital for Yang, the tank for RWBY, to pull Elm, the tank for the Ace Ops. Yang can take Elms hits while the other members of team RWBY can’t match her brute force. It is also obvious how much Yang has grown as a fighter, where she attacks the floor instead of Elm. This move takes The effectiveness of Elm’s semblance away. This fight encapsulates the growth of team RWBY, as a team and individually. Massive props to the writers for this awesome fight scene!

It’s cool how yang uses her power like a devil trigger now instead of a spam

“We’re the best Huntsmen in Atlas.” “You were. Then you trained us.” MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE

I loved how each girl was so fluid in their fighting,especially blake. These fighting scenes were really good. The one thing I'm still wondering is... why were Harriet and Elm so mad,like I understand that Blake and Yang told Robin, but come on now?

2:22 when Blake and Yang take out Vine is one of the coolest fight scenes in this entire show IMO. The bad-ass music just fits so well and the slowmo at the end so damn good.

Ruby: Brags to anger the Atlesian Special Forces Also Ruby: Immediately pleads to them the need to work together

3:57-4:04 👏👏👏 girl was fighting with no hands. And then that choke wrap around ruby 🙌 girl get it !!!!

Can we just take a moment to a appreciate how Ruby was able to handle a fight on her own without her relying on her scythe? I really love that fact that yangs training with tai really shows! I also really love how it shows weiss finally holding her own and winning, blake also does really well by fighting as more of the support. Edit: thank you for all the likes! I've never gotten so many likes on a comment. ♡

2:52 is my favorite part, when yang KOs vine and the verse of the song starts, the tone of the fight totally changes. you feel it stop, its so powerful and i love it

everyone: weiss can’t win a fight on her own. weiss: hold my summon

Are we going to ignore the fact Weiss stole Ruby's win?

My favorite thing about this fight is how well Team RWBY did their best to counter the Ace Ops, more notably, the Semblances they rely on heavily to be their trump cards. As well as the constant angles of shots of the Gravity Dust Handcuffs that every single Ace Op has on them, reminding us about them and then coming back into play for the fight.

Kudos to Ruby keeping up with Harriet, and still managing to briefly back up Weiss. And then for Weiss returning the favor.

Lol Ruby spit that venom before the match even started “We’re the best huntsmen in Atlas.” “You were. And then you trained us.” SAVAGE. Especially since Yang is kinda lacking in the roasting department. Great fight

Weiss actually won a fight on her own!

This has got to be the best fight of the show so far Yang and Blake's battle was incredible. Not only did both of them take some epically heavy hits, but they dealt some out too, and that final blow on Elm was a corker. Funny how Yang riled Elm up to get her to hit heavy and get angry.... the same technique that Neon Katt used in the Tournament back in Season 3. Weiss vs. Marrow.... finally Weiss' first decisive solo win. She was quick-minded, understanding that Marrow could only hold one thing off at once, and as soon as her Guardian was out, she had that battle in the bag. He couldn't handle two things at once. Marrow's semblance I absolutely love. Ruby vs. Harriet... she was determined to win. That moment where she got Ruby face-down made my breath catch, but in the end her anger also got the better of her. Plus Blake and Yang's victory over Vine was the nail in the coffin... it showed the rest of the Ace Ops that they weren't as invincible as they believed. That gave Harriet motivation, but it also blinded her. She could have gone back to help Elm, knowing who she was up against, but she was fixated. With her speed I'm sure she could have tried to slip in a few hits with Yang and Blake, but instead she focused on the 1v1. Music was awesome in the second half 2:53 onwards. Teamwork vs. division is the difference when skill is matched. Fantastic fight, RT have come so far. It's a shame people watched this episode and got their back up about the whole Qrow Clover situation instead of focusing on this.

It's interesting that all of the Ace Ops lost their fights because they basically ignored the morals of the stories they were based on.

1:48 thank you for being the only acting like a real person in this situation, I get them siding with Ironwood but being totally ready to murder people they have be working with is nonsensical

2:55 oh no they’ve discovered our greatest weakness, Teamwork and Friendship!

2:48 Alternate title: "Yang plants herself an AceOps tree"

The only reason why the Ace Operatives were defeated is because Clover wasn't there. Because Clover provided good fortune to the team. Remember what Clover said in episode 2 "what would you guy's do without me." Edit: Wow, I wasn't expecting this comment to get 247 likes. Thank you to the people who corrected me about Clover's semblance and thank you for leaving your arguments and opinions. I wrote this comment because I was rewatching Volume 7 again and when Clover said those words in episode 2. I was thinking, could the Ace Ops stand a chance against team Rwby if they fought as a full team? That's all I wanted to say for now. Have a great rest of your day and stay healthy.

One thing I noticed in this fight. Both RWBY and the Ace Ops used teamwork during this, especially in the double battle in the circular room. BUT, they did teamwork differently. Team RWBY defended each other and had each other’s backs without a second thought. The Ace Ops only used teamwork if it was convenient for the individual person

I seriously don't know how to express the love I have for this entire fight. It was so well executed and I can't believe how far this show has come as a whole. Props to CRWBY man.

RWBY Vs Ace Ops might be my favorite fight tied with Blake and Yang Vs Adam. Like the mentioned fight, it tells a story. Ruby knows that Harriet is the most over confident and competitive so she taunts her making her leave the room, knowing her speed could lead to her immediately handcuffing everyone. Yang never matches Elm in strength, but we know that she can tank the hits from her shown by her fight with Adam and the Torchwick mech. Weiss uses a semi Freezerburn tactic and ice shards to distract Marrow long enough to use her semblance which we know takes a bit of time to activate. Yang taunts Elm, a character like her who is very driven by emotion and is very passionate about what she does and her morals, a tactic that she’s used against Adam and learned from her past mistakes. While some people could roll their eyes at Yang’s taunt, I saw it more as strategy. As little we’ve seen of the Ace Ops, they do care about people and want to protect them. However they are still loyal to Ironwood. They have conflicting emotions. From my perspective, Marrow is the only one upfront about it due to being the newbie and relative child of the group. Yang knew this would get under Elm’s skin since she is prone to emotion (shown in Episode 2) which is why she did it. This angers Elm and she lets go of Blake. In the only time Elm and Yang have a strength contest, Yang uses her gauntlets to distract her and knock her away while freeing Blake. They then take out the ranged fighter by slyly using slight of hand with the hand gauntlets. They then destroy the ground with Vine and with more gauntlet blasts to destroy the very thing that makes Elm and immovable object. All this while Blake is distracting her. Yang goes against the rocket launcher, and feigns a hit then hits the ground. This launches Elm into the air where Blake is and they pull of a Yin and Yang punch. Weiss uses her surroundings and environment to corner Marrow. Due to the support from her semblance, she’s able to tire Marrow out and land a fire blast. Ruby uses her semblance to counter Harriet’s and handcuffs her, disabling her long enough for Weiss to come in with the clutch. The closed environment was used in a way we haven’t really seen used before. While the characters have fought In closed spaces, it always felt like they had as much room as they needed in order to move around. This time, the characters are bouncing off walls for momentum, being slammed into walls to cause more damage, and using the environment to their advantage to the fullest like with Weiss and Yang. Yang’s fight with Elm especially shows how much she’s grown. Yang Volume 1-4 would’ve just charged head on, but she used legitimate strategy this time. That’s why Team Rwby won this fight. Strategy and teamwork. Say what you will about the Power of Friendship, it can be used well and used poorly. It was used well here. Team Rwby didn’t win because their love for each other pulled them through. Ruby trusted her team enough to take care of the rest of the Ace Ops when all she had to do was at least keep pace with Harriet. Weiss is clearly stronger than Marrow and has more to her advantage such as her semblance. The Ace Ops are partners and that’s about it. While they do have decent strategy (shown in Episode 3) they never really worked in tandem with each other to the extent of RWBY. Blake and Yang have such a strong bond due to all they’ve been through that they can tell each other which combo attack to use with just a look. The fact that the Ace Ops all had conflicting feelings on how hard to go against RWBY also goes to show that this isn’t a strong team, it’s just a strong set of individuals put together. Another thing to note is that they were only chosen because of complimentary semblances. So while they might work well together, it still leaves open some predictability as they were only chosen because of that. Team RWBY have semblances and fighting styles very different from each other, but that just makes them more unpredictable. Marrow pointing this out earlier in the Volume shows that at surface level, Team RWBY shouldn’t really work well with each other. However, precisely due to their friendship instead of being simple acquaintances, they are able to know the ins and outs of each other’s fighting styles. They’ve gotten time to know each other, how they fight, how they think, how they react, and this goes well with Blake and Yang. Elm and Vine were not expecting for the two to work so well in tandem and that is one of the many reasons they lost.

I just realized that Ruby ran to a different area to taunt Harriet into chasing and fighting her alone, because if Ruby fought Harriet while her teammates are close by, Harriet could have restrained them easily then the whole Ace Ops could just focus on fighting Ruby alone.

So I did my best to try and count how many times each person was hit and ideally how much damage they took: Ruby - 5(4 little hits , 1 moderate hit) Weiss - 0 hits Blake - 3(2 really big hits, 1 small hit) Yang - 4(2 big hits, 2 small hits) Harriet - 2(1 big hit, 1 small hit) Marrow - 2(1 small hit, 1 big hit) Elm - 6(3 small hits, 3 big hits) Vine - 2 really big hits From this I think Ruby and Blake’s Auras were critically low(Blake’s did flicker, not break). Yang’s was low, but she’s special as her semblance gets stronger the more damage she takes. Weiss with the flawless victory. Harriet used her semblance excessively and wore herself out. Marrow’s semblance must tire himself out the more he uses it and/or if he uses it on a big target. Vine didn’t get hit much, but that last hit was brutal and he did use his semblance a lot. Elm is a powerhouse, she took the most hits.

Nobody: Yang Xiao Long: S U P E R S A I Y A N

The remarks on what happened in the fight inspired me to make observations on what happened in this fight tactically and strategically. I do love this fight scene, myself, but it became even more appreciated when I started to pay attention to the overall picture and how the smaller details of the fight contributed to the result. Prepare for a wall (of text) that would make Ironwood proud. Weiss won in a one-on-one engagement due to overwhelming the enemy semblance with the properties of her own allowing control of a summoned ally, making it a virtual two-on-one... she also received brief assistance from Ruby. Marrow committed an error being over-reliant on his semblance, not realizing quickly enough that stopping one combatant meant releasing the other and that his pseudo-timestop could be easily circumvented because of this. If he had been in either of the other two engagements, he'd have been more helpful and could have been the deciding factor of the fight since he'd either stop Ruby dead in her tracks or neutralize the teaming threat of Blake and Yang's formation. The first tactical mistake of the fight on the part of the Ace Ops may actually be that Marrow didn't use his semblance on Ruby at the onset, since she would be the most likely to manage escaping the surrounding formation uncontested (while technically not true, overestimating her could have worked out for the Ace Ops). Yang and Blake won by coordinating two separate individual eliminations to defeat the enemy formation in a two-on-two engagement. Their fight was probably the hardest of the set, but their teamwork and bond made them harder. Juking Elm to gang up on Vine with quick, opportunistic guile set the pace of every other engagement from that point forward, since their presumed eventual victory in a two-on-one scenario would pressure the enemy to swiftly wrap up their fights to assist, leading to mistakes. It's uncertain if there was a better place in the fight for Elm or Vine, since Elm doesn't have a dexterity that pairs well against either Ruby or Weiss while Vine seems to be better off playing support rather than fighting alone. If Vine and Marrow had switched, though, the fight may have had a different balance. Vine may not have been outclassed by Weiss in the same way Marrow had been, but, more importantly, Marrow would likely decide the fight against Blake and Yang with his semblance while Elm could potentially neutralize either one by themselves. This, I would say, may be the first STRATEGIC mistake of the fight by the Ace Ops for not splitting up more appropriately. Ruby occupied what was probably the most individually competent enemy in a one-on-one chase, aggroing Harriet into cutting off her escape (presumably to get help), long enough for other engagements to resolve and receive assistance from Weiss, resulting in an eventual two-on-one surprise that secured victory. Managing to bind Harriet, who made the mistake of attempting an arrest against someone with a semblance that can partially dematerialize Ruby, contributed to a loss of Harriet's offensive options that enabled the result. Frankly, Ruby would have to have her aura depleted first, if not outright knocked unconscious to take her alive without a more appropriate semblance or scheme to stop her. Unfortunately, Harriet couldn't manage that when their speeds were evenly matched. Harriet in this case would have been better off engaging Weiss than anyone else in the Ace Ops, but Ruby's speed ultimately dictated that Harriet commit to stopping her. This engagement starting decided the entire battle's strategic split, determining the flow of the entire fight. While Ruby didn't decisively beat anyone herself, per se, she catalyzed the victory by running off. It's worth noting that not a single fight here was won with members of Team RWBY being completely by themselves (if you can accept that Weiss is never "alone" so long as her semblance is in effect). Also, whether intentional or not, fan-favorite team pairs (Bumblebee and White Rose) were used to attain victory. Meanwhile, two members of the Ace Ops were essentially made to engage in single combat against two others in some way. Leaving aside the smaller tactical considerations, Team RWBY had the superior strategy at the scale of engagement as well as the established match-ups once the fight entered its first equilibrium. It may have been completely happenstance that way, but that's how I'd best describe what happened here beyond a broadbrushing statement like: "Team RWBY was better than the Ace Ops".

It's funny how AceOps is a representation of the audience's view of team RWBY in the earlier volumes. Overly reliant on things going to plan, overly reliant on their semblances to the point where they become predictable and tired out from excessive uses, a lot of disagreements, and indecisive.

*Ruby "You're a huntress? Can I have your autograph!?" Rose* to *Ruby "you **_were"_** Rose,* everyone.

Best fight of season 7!!!!! WE HAVEN’T SEEN A FIGHT LIKE THIS SINCE VOLUME 3

1:14 has anyone noticed that Vine just went Squidwards?

0:42 Blake doing her best spiderman impression

Ruby: "Then You trained us." To quote Tyrian from Vol. 4 (I believe): "The Rose has thorns!"

“We’re the best huntsmen in the field!” “You were.” (shrugs) “Then you trained us.” (beats drops) THAT IS THE MOST BADASS FUCKING LINE IN THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW! FUCK YES!

0:24 Whoever made this shot knew what they were doing there. xD

I love how the first thing ruby does once the fight begins was make an opening for her and the rest team rwby to get room to fight and by doing so giving them a better chance at winning I feel that if they just tried to beat the ace ops in the room the ace ops would have won I also like the fact that throughout the fight Blake and Yang only used there semblances once while both Ruby and Weiss used theirs throughout the fight. And as usual they have Weiss and Ruby helping each other and Blake and Yang working together Though I do like that they show Weiss can take care of herself Ruby helped her once then got out of her way and Weiss was able to win her fight and help Ruby finish hers They showed how much both Ruby and Weiss had improved their skills considering they were the two that had the most trouble with one on one fights against other semblance users while Blake and Yang could usually hold their own in most cases.

3:42 This is a great fight but I think Yang firing off her semlance at the perfect moment and taking what would have been a critical hit into a finish blow is amazing

Any of ya'll play overwatch? "Ice wall, comming up"

Yang with those gauntlets, she would've been called the Iron Fist

1:09 Rule No.1 of keeping a hostage, don't release the hostage.

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate how awesome of a moment it was with the soundtrack and yang activating her semblance for that ground pound?

Vine felt like Overwatch’s Dalai Robot during the fight “EXPERIENCE TR... oh boy...”

0:10 Who taught her how to throw shade, like Yang throws Vine?

"Weiss's special ability is to loose every fight." Weiss: Not on my watch!

This whole season freaking hurt to watch but I loved every moment of it even though my heart got crushed so many times this go round.

"Until you trained us. WHOOOSH!" THE SAVAGERY!

I CANT SAY IT ENOUGH OMG THE BEST TEAM RWBY FIGHT EVER I LOVE IT

This is the best RWBY fight i have seen since Volume 3. I'm impressed.

"My name is Harriet Allen. And I'm the fastest woman alive."

I used to think Blake was the best solo fighter in Team RWBY but I think Yang is now. What do other people think and why?

Two things I love about this fight: The first is that not only did Weiss win a fight on her own, she showed that she could very likely be the most potent combatant in team RWBY, in a general sense. The second thing I love is that you see training vs experience. I'd have to disagree with people that say the Ace Ops have more experience than RWBY; training, certainly, but the Ace Ops haven't been fighting for their lives almost every day for the past couple years. As another commenter said, RWBY does it "Together".

"You were. Then you trained us." - Ruby Rose

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how far the fight animators have come? Compare the Sea Dragon Fight from Volume 4 with this fight here, and tell me to my face that CRWBY hasn't improved. I especially love the swirly and spinny effects that demonstrate fast movement, like weapon twirling.

You could see that Vine and Marrow were really holding back. Elm too, she was angry but there were times where she hesitated. Harriet however, well she was just waiting for a reason to fight

I do wish this fight was a little longer to emphasize how tough the Ace Ops really are, but I’m fine with RWBY winning because they were much closer to one another than them. They were on the same page, while the Ace Ops were conflicted. Also Weiss finally won a fight!!! She’s no longer the team jobber!!

Ruby out there spitting off that hardcore shade before that fight. "You were, then you trained us!" Man I had to jump forward to catch Harriots face before it hit the floor after that line because Ruby damn sure brought her low. Nearly broke her damn face with that line of fire she threw. Might as well have been tripped up with an anime style face plant after she said it. Ruby I always knew your savagery would come out. The fact that she and Team RWBY pretty much stood combat ready and unafraid of the fight even after Salem sent an image of herself saying she was coming there was pretty much the line being drawn in the sand moment that separated the badass beast that were willing to fight and protect from the cowering pussies running to save themselves and a few. Man wonder how many seasons in we'll be before a final battle or the return of the gods to give their judgements upon humanity. All in all a great season, these babies need to get longer. 😁

I dont even watch RWBY but i came across this fight and I really like that I don't know any of these characters but you can tell the moment they take out the Sticky Guy, the whole fight atmosphere changes. It went from "we're arresting you for your own good" to straight out war. I also like that even team RWBY looks surprised they're doing so well as well as the AceOps. Almost like a wake up call that these aren't just amateurs they're dealing with. Also like how it builds morale too. Like when you see your team doing well, you start to do well too. Vice versa if doing horribly

Yang reintroduced herself in this fight. This was that Season 1-3 Yang I loved so much. She got creative again

“Experience can get you so far, no mater what rank you are today...”

Vine and marrow deserved better

You have NO IDEA how many times I've watched this fight! Everybody leveled up, especially Weiss! Making a shroud to conceal her presence and summon, THEN beating Marrow!! You go gurl!!!

It’s so satisfying when Yang’s semblance activates 😃

Seeing Harriet and Elm lose their temper was amusing 😂

If Marrow just used his semblance in the beginning, the fight would've been over before it started.

Harriet: We’re the best huntsman in Atlas Ruby: You were, but then you trained US Me: MEGA OWNED!!!!

Nothing can stop Team RWBY when they work as one! The Ace-Ops’ inability of teamwork costed them the fight. That’s why working together, heroes will always win
