    I remember reading once, that if your entire fight scene can be boiled down to the phrase "They Fight", you have written a bad fight scene.

      I think someone said that about the Star Wars prequels. George Lucas literally wrote "they fight" for the fight scenes.

    • @Philweasel
      @Philweasel 5 років тому +135

      It's not always a bad thing. If the author has established the emotional narrative prior to the fight, the chorographer should be able to construct a technical narrative to match it. I don't think you'll ever get a GREAT fight scene, but you can easily get a good one.

      Niizuma Eiji. He wins all fights be the virtue of the fact that his role in the argument is to pull the rug right under theirs. He wins because everyone else is too selfabsorbed and in aw of their powers elevating themselves from the rest of humanity while saitama realizes that all they truly have going for them is their unmatched power. Saitama wins because he's above everyone elses dick measuring contest because he realizes that its useless in terms of improving life conditions and finding fullfillment. Saitama wins because while everyone including saitama is obviously empty inside he neither tries distract himself from it nor does he kid himself that he isn't. Instead he chases after it bit it just so happens to be unclear for him where it lies and if something like fulfill ment even exists.

      Many people can say that is bad because is fake. But is really satisfying when you see your favourite wrestler finally getting the gold.
      It's something you rarely see in actual fight sports like MMA or Box, maybe you have a favourite that is the favourite of many others, but that doesn't mean he will win.

    i think my favourite example of this is alphonse vs. kimblee. he's the more pacifistic brother, who had until that point refrained from using a philosphers stone, but now found himself and his mortally wounded friend in a position where they were too injured to continue and the only way to keep themselves alive was for al to not only charge into battle alone against some of the strongest, most deadly opponents in the show with no promise of victory, but also to compromise his morals (using the stone, fighting to kill). the choreography is insane, fluid, tight; and there's a ton of intense back and forth between them. i could go on at this length about the greedling vs bradley fight too. fmab is just wild.

    Your description of the Way of the Dragon fight being dialogue hits really close to home. On the one hand, as a filmmaker that is absolutely what a fight needs to be. It must further the plot or be some interaction between characters, not just pretty action. On the other hand, as a martial artist, I always tell my students that a fight is like a conversation.

    You forgot to mention just one more thing: Camerawork
    The 'boring fight' in K is mostly because of the lack of close up shot, not because the fight is bad; as you said it was choreographed pretty good
    Now compare to the fight of Hajime no Ippo and other battle manga, they actually include a lot of close shot and middle shot from different angles; camera angles also play an important role in fighting scene especially in fast paced fight
    Otherwise, it's a great video, keep it up

      It also has to do with neither character's emotions really coming through in the storyboarding or attack effects. Misaki at that moment is straight-up pissed and confused at seeing Saruhiko, while Saruhiko is absolutely obsessed with maintaining Misaki's attention. Neither is really conveyed through the way they fight.

    • @KajinDMV
      @KajinDMV 6 років тому +23

      Xion Bagel I feel the exact same way, couldn't agree more. GT had very creative concepts, just sub par execution. Plus the beginning half of the series was.. was.... well, it was boring af.
      GT still imo had more memorable moments and more timeless events than Super has produced. Just not enough "umph".
      Super has had its impressive moments and concepts, but overall I feel as if I'm watching a fanfic or a very bold and adventurous video game alternate story line.
      *GT* : (6.5/10) -
      (GT just left a very somber and bittersweet tone. So even though I applaud them for killing characters off and having permanent consequences, often times it felt as though much of the universe we did love about DBZ was lost and forgotten.)
      *SUPER* : (6.5/10) -
      (Super does well at giving fans exactly what they want, only, it comes at the price of (cliche incoming) the soul of the dragon ball we know and love. The essence and consistency that we grew to love has become expendable, for whatever the newest "wow" moment can be to top the last big "wow" moment.)
      We can only hope Super goes further into the future, past the end of 'Z' and redeems both, the non canon and canon continuations we've gotten thus far.

      Battles arent always deathmatches and sometimes not even anything of true value is on the line, yet there is still tension. When the personal reasons or the circumstamces force the fight it gives it a mix of tension and also hollowness. But the good kind.
      "A meaningless fight" is sometimes more effective than a standard battle with a clear goal. It all depends on the emotion.

    I personally find one Berserk moment especially important to mention. It is when Guts was trying to leave The band of Hawk and Griffith himself dared stop him. The quite and still sight of snowy hills on the background, friends keeping their breath in awaitence of the battle and in the end the onle swing of a sword made the difference between Guts's life after and afore. It was not about technical part of the fight, because it was quite one, but it was about an immesurable emotional link among those characters

    • @n0ame1u1
      @n0ame1u1 7 років тому +45

      It depends on the anime. A long-running shonen anime will have extremely long fight scenes, but outside of that you barely ever see fight scenes lasting for more than one or two episodes. I'd say that most fight scenes are far shorter than 17 minutes, especially considering that many anime are only 4 hours (12 episodes) long. I mean, just look at Mob Psycho 100, or the Fate series, or the Index series, or DanMachi, or Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood, or the Magi series, or Nanatsu no Taizai, or basically any show that's less than 50 episodes long. Most fight scenes are resolved within 20 minutes, almost all are resolved within 40, and none that I can think of last over an hour.
      EDIT: I realize that FMA Brotherhood is over 50 episodes long, but whatever.

    My favorite fights are in HunterxHunter, especially the later ones which get very technical but are almost always emotional whether in their development of the main characters or the sheer disparity of one of the fighters. Some of my favorite ones are fights that don't even involve much fighting, like Kurapika vs Chrollo and the spiders. He does fight Uvogin but when he got Chrollo that was the high emotional aspect of the very technical way he fought Uvogin who many more experienced fighters stood no chance against. Also the dodgeball fight which was just dodgeball to the extreme but it was very good.

    I'm coming back to this video shortly after having watched Chihayafuru, a prime example of a non-battle battle series, and I'm realizing one it's big strengths is how much narrative weight it can put on each fight. There's a technical aspect to that it explains, arguably overly so, but how much emotion is put into it is really part of why the series shines. And it's why there's two fights within about 4 episodes of each other that got me so invested I almost cried at the results.

      As silly as it may sound, I'm dead serious when I say that Naruto is an example of what a true friend looks like. It's not the "let me know if you need me" or "when it's convenient" kind of friend. The whole world was literally at stake- and yet he refused to let his friend completely fall.

    one of my favorite fights in all of anime is one I feel no one would pick, and that's ken oyanagi vs rohan where they play RPS. While it seems average at first, it perfectly conveys how ken try's to live up to rohan and shows his mental fortitude, whilst showing rohan's confusion but also his underlying genius. Also its just really entertaining I love watching it.

    This is my favorite video from this channel by far. Thank you for explaining in detail just what it is that excites and moves me behind all the superficial eye candy during a great fight scene. Like most good things in life, the crux of it lies beneath the surface.

    Here's my take:
    - make impossible dodges, like a limbo or ones where they actually get hurt a little (like a knife throw and they cut their cheek)
    - slow motion, a little, like in those dodges, but to create suspense (example, future diary "this is not how I die") or when they land a critical hit
    - expressions, not facial expressions, but also body language. like for example, voice breaking and sloppy fighting in emotional scenes. or a wide smile and jester-like attitude if they aren't taking it seriously.
    - reason, don't make them fight just because unless that's the whole point.

    Of course you amazingly covered the emotional and physical aspect of a fight scene but i think when it comes to the entertaining aspect of a fight its a whole different story.I think most modern films ruin fight sequences by trying to follow every single move a character makes during a fight (punches,kicks...etc) by either shaking the camera every time the somebody hits someone else or by having the camera being really close to a character.But I think every fight scene between two people should have a wider camera angle.Take most of Rock Lee´s fights for example... in every single one you can always see (if lees combatant is a melee fighter) lee and his enemy all the time, this creates a epic sense of....well....epicness to the fight and that is what I think makes a fight scene truly great!

      Martial arts action: demonstrates what a resisting opponent will do
      Action with martial arts added: shows how to trip someone who lets you trip them
      Martial arts action: dodging a barrage of knife thrusts is its own set piece
      Action with martial arts added: dodging doesn’t exist
      Martial arts action: fight scenes are about various attributes
      Action with martial arts added: fight scenes are a d**k measuring contest (cough Bourne films cough)

    One of my favorite anime fight scenes is in Rurouni Kenshin, when Saito reappears in Kenshin's life to test his abilities. The way that Kenshin's "Battousai" personality begins to surface is chilling. One of the best skin-tingling emotional moments in the show

    One amazing fight scene I remember is the Isabeau fight from SMT 4.
    It doesn’t have any flashy action but it’s narrative stakes are high. if your having a hard time winning there are a few questions you can answer, and the correct ones are to quote “the most brainwashed thing ever” Isabeau is hinted to have liked you. (pretty heavily.) In the end [Redacted]
