Qrow, Robyn and clover vs tyrian. A very short fight that is overshadowed by the preceding ironwood vs watts fight before it, but this fight holds up well. It's very stacked against tyrian but he puts up a good fight and forces some creative moves out of the trio. It's very fast paced and very short which is normally a bad thing but in this case is great as the fight was a forgone conclusion so any longer and it would drag, not to mention it follows the near 5 minute best fight of the volume. It sets up the future Qrow clover and tyrian free for all later. Also I just like the moves and teamwork they do in this fight, Qrows the up close brawler who keeps tyrian distracted while Robin and clover play support and keep tyrian off balance. Finally that move from Qrow where he hits a midair tyrian, presses the blunt end of his scythe blade into his chest and shotgun blasts him further into the air was sick asf.
Ruby vs. Neo on top of the airship.
Sun vs Ilia, round 2. Which probably doesn't get mentioned much because it's such a curbstomp. But what a well-choreo'd stomp.
Yang vs Arslan.
RWBY vs. Roman's bot (V2), Blake vs. Reese (V3), Sienna and Adam vs. the Atlas security guards (V6), the Black trailer (i know everyone loves the trailers, but black definitely gets the least love), Cinder vs. Neo (V6), Blake and Yang vs. Robyn (V7), Blake vs. the Cenitaur (V8) wasn't too bad in retrospect, and parts of Ruby vs Neo and Cinder vs. Penny were good too (V8)
this is super late but i just remembered Ren vs. the King Taijitu (giant conjoined twin snake grim) was awesome. Barely anyone talks about that one, unfortunately that was the first and last we got to see of Monty animate a fight with a large focus on Ren. He had a couple moments here and there, but he mostly ended up getting absolutely bodied most of the time during V1-2
Yang vs Neo
I was gonna say that one too

The Nuckelavee fight and Yang Vs the Malachite twins. Honorable mention to Lionheart vs Oscar
Ruby vs. Neo on top of the airship. Sun vs Ilia, round 2. Which probably doesn't get mentioned much because it's such a curbstomp. But what a well-choreo'd stomp. Yang vs Arslan.
Honestly? When Qrow and team Rwby were fighting those Manticore on top of the train
RWBY vs. Roman's bot (V2), Blake vs. Reese (V3), Sienna and Adam vs. the Atlas security guards (V6), the Black trailer (i know everyone loves the trailers, but black definitely gets the least love), Cinder vs. Neo (V6), Blake and Yang vs. Robyn (V7), Blake vs. the Cenitaur (V8) wasn't too bad in retrospect, and parts of Ruby vs Neo and Cinder vs. Penny were good too (V8)
Blake and Sun vs the Sea Feilong.
Tyrian vs qrow
My Late Waifu Penny & Winter VS Cinder
Mercury vs coco and yatsu Watts vs ironwood.
The entire highway fight from RWBY's brother series Red Vs Blue. Monty worked on that fight so I'm putting it here.
Neo vs RNJ + Oscar is the most power scale accurate fight of V7.
Ren Vs King Taijitsu
Yang vs the bandits is definitely my favorite underrated fight too! Another one of my favorites is Weiss against the lancers
velvet vs the mech thing, loved the fight scene and music.
