Umm....bad teamwork is kinda the point of this episode, you know. This episode
intentionally portray how Sekai still doesn't fully understand about Gunpla battle tactics and still can't work together well with others (especially Yuuma), so Fumina had to step up and support her cornered teammates. You can say she's a lot better-version of Sakura from
Naruto.

I thought the producers said there will be less knuckles this season? Or they still don't get it? Team Try fighter has yet to show me any wins with real strategy and they just seem force their way through with the power of the machines instead.
Now I think about it each battle so far have been underwhelming and yet to be as good as some of the battles in the first half of season 1. At this point I feel like I'm just watching for the character interactions, meanwhile the battle feel more like an afterthought.

In season 1, Reiji is a beginner-prodigy that can control, fight and use both Gunpla's ranged and melee weapons so well, so he only needs info/input and maintenance to pretty much continue owning his opponents, quite simple. Sei & Reiji can already worked together in episode 2 and by episode 3, they are already a solid-enough pair. In comparison, Sekai is a strong beginner but only knows how to fight melee and can't aim a gun for shit. Team Try Fighters is a lot more complicated than Sei-Reiji pair and (naturally) needs more time to develop. We see that in episode 5, in the first offical tournament they entered, they still pretty much work individually (aka. not yet solid as a team, plus the Sekai & Yuuma bickering). Here in episode 6, we see that both Sekai & Yuuma still tend to work individually and it's Fumina that really had to take the first step to get their act together by designing a mecha that can support both styles of fighting. So, you can see now that we're still pretty much in the developing-stage for our protagonist team. They are slowly growing, that's the point of the episodes we've seen so far. You can say the SeixReiji duo has smoother road to travel since they are only two people with Reiji having hax fighting-skill and Sei near-hax building skill and the regulations is not as limiting. Compared to that, of course Team Try Fighters will have a rocky and bumpier road since:
1) Sekai can only fight close-combat with his fists and feet and pretty much devoid of tactical skills and ranged weaponry skills, unlike Reiji,
2) Yuuma the genius builder (but still not on Sei's level) doesn't really like Sekai and rarely genuinely support him as a teammate. In fact, in the fights with Gyanko-team and GN-X-team, he just want to shoot the enemies himself but Sekai kept "bothering" him. This is very much unlike Sei who adore Reiji almost from the get go and will do anything to support his way of fighting.
3) As a team, Try Fighters still haven't spend enough time training together to work the chemistry. That kind of team/group dynamic is something that Sei & Reiji rarely have to face coz they're already close since early in the game and each role of the pair is clear & pretty much obvious (Reiji the fighter, Sei the builder and advisor) and each of them can pretty much train alone (which they actually did in season 1: Sei locked himself in his room building SBS while Reiji is practicing by kicking many kits' asses with Fellini in that Gunpla cafe or whatever).
So, the conclusion is: be patient a bit. This is pretty much a different (slower-developed) approach from season one, so you shouldn't really expect the same kind of awesomeness early on. I also see they're trying to focus more on the character-building this time than explosive battles (Not that the battles aren't good. They absolutely are. Where else can I see SD Gundam supporting normal Gundams and kicking normal MSs' asses?)

Like others' have already adressed, the vulcans in SD Gundams are bigger than your standard HG vulcans (Especially the ones on the heads. SD's vulcans are practically giants compared to HG's vulcans).
