Well. Vasco was single-handedly wooping Bikou, Arthur, and Vali's collective asses.

But Gagmogog took out Valerie, and Koneko seemed to win against Kuroka (if I'm wrong, my bad).

I don't know what Akeno, Kiba and Lint were doing. Maybe they were busy with the current Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie.

Fenrir taking on, and nearly beating Gasper and Rias (Balor Darkness Form).

And Vali being cornered by Crom, I think all of it adds up to both teams being slightly even. Both Kings had their most powerful Pieces aimed at each other, it was just a matter of who broke down first.
