Hmm.
This fight is going to be...odd.
Detective can probably streetbrawl like the best of them, but Jaune's skillset will most likely consist of masterful copies of moves he's seen family do, or has studied from old manuals/videos. But he won't have much in the way of sparring experience himself. Or, at least, not much besides early childhood.
So, from Jaune I expect beautiful moves...but no idea how to actually use them in a fight. And from Detective I expect decent scrab-ability, but no real 'martial arts' to speak of.
So probably going to lose the fight if leaning on either (well, maybe not if we lean on the Detective. I don't think Weiss knows how to defend against Drunk Dick Fist). Meanwhile, if we try to balance them, it'll either work really well, or be janky as fuck as our body language and fighting style shifts moment to moment.

I sincerely doubt Shadow's ability to convincingly throw a fight, and Pyrrha would almost certainly not like it if we lose on purpose. It's also probably a good idea to see what our body can actually do in battle (besides the obvious Grimm abilities) and what better opportunity than a sanctioned match? At least if we genuinely try the teacher won't hold the fight against us, whereas throwing the fight would likely attract his attention.

Shadow, you need to spin to win! It is the only way to make up for your lack of combat experience.

Just came in and read all this. Good stuff. Very juicy. Well written. Tastes like chicken, and/or Pete.
A few things I noticed and didn't see get brought up:
This is the exact moment at which we were screwed. Notice what isn't mentioned here? Our own shadow, which we don't naturally cast, and specifically had to remember and tweak in the previous scene to avoid notice. Here, it's completely overlooked in our terrified freezeup. Even if Ozpin didn't have our number before, he knows now.
And yeah, dude is totally an Elder Grimm or something close to it. Probably Gotthard too, and maybe the Sisters. We've gotten tons of hints that the difference between sufficiently Semblance-attuned humans and Grimm is academic at best, and Ozpin closes out the above scene with this pearl of advice:
Then, on a slightly different note, what was bothering Russell so much inPotions Dust class? We never did get a direct answer, but consider:
I'mma go out on a limb here and suggest he might actually be illiterate?
Anyway, good stuff, fun times, watched, thanks and hope to see more!

So I was thinking. Jaune's semblance.
If we ever feel like screwing with Yang, we could unironically use it to go Super Saiyan.
On the other hand, things might spiral rapidly out of control once it turns out Yang is into it, and we unintentionally fed into that since our semblace is Pyre and hers is Fire or something IDK.
Hmm. I question wether this counts as a doublepost given the two and a half hour gap between posts, but merged anyways.
Since nobody else has commented and I'm probably going to have to do this again, might as well throw whatever is flowing through my brain here:
-What happens if the people/stories/Semblances Jaune Dark is eating come together to form the core of a new person/grimm/antigrimm within him?
-Give how Dust can feed The Shadow, does that make them the Story equivalent of oil? The condensed stories of all of the dead droves of humanity rendered down into a semi-crystalized material form?
-I don't know what the fuck is up with RWBY but my gut instinct tells me she's basically The Avatar (AtLA) except slightly more fucked up, so her subconscious is made up of a fuckton of ever reincarnation dead people.
-Is anybody else feeling like some real metaphysical shit is going to go down once The Shadow fully names itself/adopts a name? I feel like in the process of defining itself, given how heavy that is as a story point, he'll swell in metaphysical size.
-When the shadow's cover is inevitably blown to a student, we should probably have some bullshit thought up to sell to them. Specifically, I think we should tell them that we're not really Jaune Arc, our semblance is Impersonation, we're like 8 and wanted to be a Hunter and so when we came upon the dead body of Jaune Arc, we just kind of...went with it.

Hang on a second.
The dynamics between Ruby and Yang...the way Ruby seemed so reluctant to even consider fighting Yang...her nervous even - even fearful - body language in the face of Yang, the way Yang won not through brawling but through psychological dominance of her younger sister...Yang's willingness to harm Ruby and her apparent lack of sympathy in the face of her pain...Ruby's eagerness to get away from Yang during the trip through the forest...Yang's possesiveness of Ruby and her insistence on "taking her to the nurse" herself...
Guys, I think we might have Abusive Psychopathic Yang on our hands. From Leila's thread.
And that is glorious.
[X] Fight to win.
Like others have said, we'll probaby lose anyway (giving Weiss her ego-boost), and the potential failure state for throwing the match is worse than the failure state for giving it a good effort.
