Favourite Animated Fight Scene (SPOILERS)
- Thread starter SnakeTrousers
- Start date
That was intentional. Since robots didn't exist at the time,[footnote]Thank God...[/footnote] robots were the perfect targets. You'd never see a kid's show where a human is impaled, and then slides down the sword until he slumps to the ground.Furbyz said:
Samurai Jack, Rose Glasses or none, really was some of the best animation ever created.
To this day I still consider Spec Spiderman to be the best Spiderman series ever and the fight scenes help prove it

Yeah, I know it was intentional. I just still get surprised by it occasionally if I see a clip I haven't seen in years.silver wolf009 said:
The first time I ever actually tried watching the show (not just seeing it on air when I was young) I realized that I had totally forgotten the part where Jack fights a horde of insect robots and at some point the oil/blood splatter reaches full on Tarentino levels. All because artificial beings are a-ok to dismember and explode with abandon, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I just know in 100 years Robot Justice Warriors are going to be decrying the pervasive and historic mistreatment of the poor killdrones!Furbyz said:
We need to censor everything that shows a Robot being hurt, otherwise the new robots will be all too hurt now!!
The opener for Season 2 of Darker Than Black is wicked, I cosign Samurai Jack and Chun-li vs Vega.
The Final fight in Sword of the Stranger was cool
The Final fight between Spike and Viscious (more context rather than actual fight) but Spike vs the guy in the movie was just as fun to watch.
The Final Gun fight between Knives and and Vash in Trigun
Moribito, I can't remember Which episode it was but I remember it was raining and Balsa was damn impressive.
All I can think of right now

I want to give a nod to any of Sword of the Stranger's fight scenes as opposed to just the final fight (which was fantastic too, don't get me wrong). Another animated fight I think highly of is the 2vs2 fight in the season 2 finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Well, Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell have already been mentioned so... ALL of Black Lagoon, honestly, but this one stands out:
Because fuckin' Revy, man.
Oh, and Bleach has some good ones. Definitely liked most of the Soul Society Arc. The ending bout between Ichigo and Byakuya with pretty awesome.

Can't name a single favourite, but off the top of my head:
-Aang vs. Ozai
-Zuko vs. Azula (more for the themes/visuals than the actual combat)
-Korra vs. Vaatu/Unalaq (not the giant battle, only the polar/gateway one)
-Spider-Man vs. Venom (Spectacular Spider-Man series, both battles)
-Sonic vs. Metal Sonic (Sonic OVA)
-Twilight vs. Tirek (deal with it! XD)
I'm going to include the Freiza battle in 'Dragonball Z' because while like most DBZ fights it has the padding issue, However, I recently read some pieces as to how and why DBZ (and Dragonball as a whole) should have ended with the saga, from both a thematic and narrative standpoint. So if I were to take it as the case, and the series ended there as per the supposed original intent, then yes, I'd count the battle as among my favorites. While other fights might have been done better supposedly (haven't seen that much of the series admittedly), I feel that beyond Freiza, things started getting rediculous, what with constant character resurrection and multiple super saiyans...gah), which adds to a whole lot of gripes I have with the series as a whole.

Gotta agree with this. For me, this battle is Rattrap's moment to shine. Completely on his own, he takes down Tarantulas, Ravage, Rampage, AND the Predacon transwarp cruiser. I don't care who you are, that's freaking impressive.WhiteFangofWar said:
Anyways, for my own nominations, there's this little gem from the DCAU:
And of course, I can't forget Omnimon:
And last, but certainly not least, is the freaking great fight of Panty and Stocking vs Scanty and Kneesocks:
You literally cannot get any better in terms of ridiculousness mixed with awesomeness in a fight scene.
