I was wondering where Qrow's Scythe was in the fight, but then it turned out that his Scythe is the sword. Which makes him double-awesome because Ozpin acclaimed Qrow's Scythe skills, as if his swordsmanship was the lesser of the two skills.
Now don't forget, if Qrow is this good it means that there have to be antagonists who are just as good as him, if not better. Otherwise there's no drama to the story. So are we thinking Adam, or Cinder?
Wtf are you guys on about? Qrow better than Winter? Nah brah! Winter is awesome plus (cough) White Rose has now become Winter Rose; huehuehuehue!
You realize that that pic defeats your purpose because the two Schnee's are fairly obviously competing, yes? that doesn't cement a pairing, much less a three person pairing, either way.
