dramatic entrances, poses, full page illustrations in manga, pastel stills in anime (but only for the end of a battle or the end of an episode)...
..and finally: badass and/or meaningful attack namesespecially if they lead to or are the reason behind a curbstomp battle; where one side just absolutely trashes the other.
>>119407298

Slow-motion recaps of what had just happened OR Slow-motion depiction of what is happening. Usually depicting one of the characters being "fast" although it's slow-mo.
Good combination of track. The music usually makes/breaks a fight.
and finally; minimal talking/yelling/screaming. I want to hear the sounds of swords clashing/slashing, fists connecting, bones breaking, grunts/moans of pain, etc.
>>119408358
Damn Flame Of Recca was so good.
handstand kicks and spinning handstand kicks.
fighters that reminder you of unstoppable whirling hurricanes.

Needless but don't bother with the anime version; shit was basically the Akame ga Kill adaptation of 2008.
like the Akame Ga Kill anime, it was a +20 episode series for a good monthly manga.. but despite having a capable studio, it had the budget of a 13 episode adaptation.
-got stuck with a mediocre director
-cheap dialogue done by no name screen writers
-poor episode planning
- violence censors and filler eichi to attract advertising/sponsors from coroprations like P&G, Mcdonalds, etc.

>>119412397
Nice three line buzzword red herring argument.
unless you're an animeonlyfag or take yourself way too seriously, you can't deny that it was a fun ride until the anime came out and if you push yourself past the first eight chapters you genuinely found yourself on edge and had fun reading it.
Fights with minimal dialogue, slow downs, explanations and teleports (as in they both disappear, clash and disappear or turn into sperm and bounce everywhere).
>>119413868

Not him, but while I personally didn't enjoy the manga, its by no means a terrible manga.
Mysterious powers that are OBVIOUS in hindsight.
Completely one-sided battles where you can tell the antagonist isn't even taking it seriously
>Taking attacks and shrugging them off when clearly damage is being done.
Every time it makes me smile.
Appearing behind the enemy instead of killing him while being this fast, also never being this fast againUntil the next enemy for a panel
Seeing the MC get his shit wrecked. not to the extent that he loses his abilities or dies or anything, but enough to show that he's not completely overpowered. bonus points if he gets destroyed despite harnessing the power of friendship/asspull trump card/new weapon.
also confirming romance pairings. I don't give a flying fuck about shipping, but i appreciate when an author can commit to a canon romance and keep it off to the side. I don't like seeing action plots derailed by some supporting character acting tsun-tsun for the MC and starting a boring arc.
asshole, scum of the earth villains are great too. ones you actually hate to the point where you feel your ears heat up as they speak. villains who are realistically horrible people and who patronize and scoff at the protagonists are great. basic example is Dio kissing Erina and smacking her around. he went out of his way to hurt jonathan right where it hurt most, and had himself an evil chuckle about it after.

>Seeing MC get his shit wreaked
Works best if the MC continues to struggle past that point. I hate it when they get wreaked only to learn some life lesson and continue on as usual if not better.
>>119415919
I like seeing the protagonist's powers actually fuck them up or have serious side effects when they go all-out.
for example, edgelord dude uses fire to fight, but it actually burns him when he uses it. there's smoke and burned hair mixed in with his oh-so-cool flame attack.
that, or edgelord dude used fire to fight without any problems, but when he really guns it and goes all-out, it seriously fucks him up, like burning off limbs.
>>119409701
>Needless but don't bother with the anime version; shit was basically the Akame ga Kill adaptation of 2008.
You need to rewatch Needless. Even though it goes anime original at the end, it's still a very entertaining show that perfectly captured the essence of the manga.

Oh man, I just went through the Jason Ozuma fight in Hajime no Ippo, which was this in a nutshell.
Allying with former enemies.
The zipzop thing where you turn into lines and then appear behind your enemy.
Characters in the MCs group who are stronger than the MC.
OR
Characters in the MCs group who get A girl. Doesnt have to be a main girl.
>>119416618
I like this one as well.
Dying standing.
I like to see an actual fight in anime, rather than flashing quick cuts to simulate it to the viewer, seeing them use their cunning and environment to gain the upper hand instead of unleashing an ultimatu movuu
Absolutely fucking brutal finishers are sweet as well.
>>119415919
Oh shit, I forgot to add onto berserk modes, insane modes or just the character going crazy. Fuckin' love that shit.

thanks kubo
>>119416618
FUCKING THORKELL YES
>>119408906
So much this.
Also I like it when injuries change the complexion of a fight, like broken ribs inhibiting breathing or a wounded leg reducing speed, or blood loss making the fighter see blurry etc.
>>119414146
And this. I like actual fighting, meaning I want to see both combatants and I like some strategy. Basically I want kung fu movie level choreography with some simple, creative powers thrown in that mesh well with the fight choreography. Is even better when fighters have their own distinctive styles with strengths and weaknesses. I know that's asking for a lot but that's my ideal.
Slow-motion face vibrations after a punch, those ripples showing the force of the impact

Same here, it just seems like a cheap way to let the MC win against an opponents he should lose to.

Loved that chapter, but it would have caused a greater reaction of his front was full of scars.
>>119419257

>>119419890
It can only be done right if it's done in like the shield bro series; like truly 'breaking the cutie'.
>>119416673
I like both but especially the first. I really like it when there are characters that are much more powerful than the MC like Shinigami in Soul Eater.
>>119419890
It's sure one of those things that you've got to be careful with.
I like when berserk mode is so dangerous and unstable that they refuse to use it for fear of losing control and people actually suffer because of that decision.
>>119420101
>not using BlackStar as a reference
>>119420151
Black Star is definitely stronger than Maka but I meant a massive gulf like the one between Shinigami and Maka. Black Star would beat Maka but she'd probably put up a decent fight. Both of them are like ants compared to Shinigami though.
>>119419230
Personally I don't want it to be too realistic. I like some impractical acrobatics thrown in but I still agree with the other Anon that using the environment and strategy is what makes a fight good.
>>119418258
I loved seeing the Arrancars block slashes with their hands lik ewhen Grimmjow opened up that can of whoop ass on Ichigo when they first met.

Totally unrealistic,would hurt you in real life,but it still looks cool
>>119415777
I'm really starting to get sick of this meme.
Like if it's not lewd, crappy, for children or moe.. It's "edgy".
And like every single person who advertises they are from /a/ on Facebook that says the word edgy like every other word, it's always the same stereotype to a 16-year-old boy with an anime profile picture that eichii fanart from pixiv while talking about "ironic dank yamyams"
I hate it, I hate it so much.
Fighting like no tomorrow, no matter if they lost any parts of the body or get a serious damage.
I really love that in Toriko, Rurouni Kenshin and Hoshi no Samidare.
Fighters go from their most powerful forms to straight up desperate fist fighting
>>119421367
I love in any medium, when shit just comes down to you versus your similar to you rival duking it out at the end of the fight.
>>119417940
he lost a part of his head? what the fuck i dont remember that
Both sides smiling or otherwise looking like they're enjoying themselves in a fight that's meant to be completely serious.
Rage is still the best thing when done right
A sexy aura
I like it when a character has impeccable posture, doesn't enter a fighting stance, and then strides into a group of enemies and effortlessly trashes them. Bonus points if they knock an enemy into the air, do their casual stride to the enemy, and knock them back into the ground, all without getting dust on their coat or whatever.
>>119406909
>this faggot thinks fist ever clash in a real fight.
Theres literally no reason to throw the punch if youre not in range to hit them. I also hate how the crosscounter characters with the opposite hands. fucking animators having no idea what theyre doing.

>>119422161
Sword fighting in general is also very unrealistic, but it would be boring for them to clash swords once or twice and then get hit.
Battle that literally re-shape the world
>>119422568
I think I heard somewhere that DragonSlayer would be shit in real life. I'm not sure about Guts' previous sword though.
>>119422568
This. Sometimes real fighting isn't fun to watch, especially not in manga/anime. I watch action mangas for crazy, over the top fights, not realistic fights. If I want realistic fighting I'll watch MMA or Boxing.
Blade catching
When a characters glare or presence is more than enough to end a conflict.
>>119421367
this so fucking hard. I fucking love it when both sides have used all they got: weapons have broken and guns run out of daka, when the mecks run out of juice, magic is exhausted, supper ultra moves have canceled each other out and final forms wore off, all tricks tricks have played and left wanting more, and finally being too tired to even properly fight. After all that bullshit i love seeing the two character absolutely exhausted just through sloppy punches and kicks, throwing dirt and rocks and braking their own bones just to do the final counter. This is how any amazing fight has ended...... why the fuck does this not happen more often?
>>119421004
jeez, edgy much?nah i get you, people use it too much and to describe anime they dont like when they cant formulate a proper reason why
>>119422773
>>119421004
AgK is edgy though.
>mfw every chapter is named "kill the X"
>>119421004
>>119422773I can understand that shit too. Personally I always figured edgy was supposed to mean the show was trying seriously hard at being dark purely the the sake of being dark or trying to pass off as particularly mature content. These days people fling it at anything with an attitude they don't like though. The only thing that made me think of the term in recent memory was Akame ga Kill, but that shit is hardly fair since that sort of show will probably never be my cup of tea anyway and it's easy to be biased as fuck.
>>119422842
AgK is trying to be edgy while m friend saw that Bahamut had gods and demons involved and he was like "WOAH EDGY"
fucking stupid.
>>119421367
>>119421439
I especially like it when the characters in question are really made to seem god like or they're decked out with super weapons or something and as the fight drags on and they're both getting worn down and exhausted until all that's left are just the two of them and they just start punching the shit out of each other. Ideally they aren't even really fighting anymore they're just taking turns to hit the other one until someone drops. No powers, no weapons, nothing fancy just two people beating the shit out of each other until one of them can't take it anymore.
>>119422712
Fuck, would love to see this between goku and vegeta and just see the series end there.

Yeah shit like this is like my favourite thing in any media. I just can't think of anything more fucking hardcore than two people who are both so exhausted that the only reason they're still standing is cause they just really fucking don't want to lose.
>>119423468
why does the MC wear a fucking school uniform?because hes that much of a cut and paste MC that they lifted him from some random school anime and gave him a sword?

>guy stops to explain how his techniques work
>gets beaten while he is explaining
>>119406909
screaming the name of your attack
>>119409701
That is so unfair. First of all, it's better that it did end right there because the way the manga goes after it's finished its adaptation is nothing short of a clusterfuck with time travel, gender bending, evil old me, the works. Not only that but the adaptation itself is pretty fair. A huge chunk of time spent inside of a gigantic girls bedroom in the manga = a huge chunk of time spent inside a girls bed room in the manga. That's not poor episode planning, that's a faithful adaptation.
Also, in terms of animation it's actually very good, and it has even better music than that. And are you really going to complain about ecchi in an ecchi manga? That is dumb
And so, in conclusion, you're wrong in everyway possible and need to kill yourself.
>>119421004
Saying edgy is like saying desu, it doesn't mean anything but makes you one of the cool guys
>>119423785
it was too much, especially for a show about rollerblades
>>119422477
Bingo.
>>119406909
The MC is so small and pretty-boy looking that it's really hard for me to take him seriously as a melee fighter. That's the main thing keeping me from reading/watching this.
>>119424401
He's not usually a melee fighter, most of his moves are counters.
>>119423970
faithful adaptation does not mean it is good, it has to adapt to the constraints of being a 13 episode anime, needlessly including large chunks of content where time could be spent on other things is poor episode planning.
>>119424461
That's a bit reassuring. I'll check it out when I've caught up on some of my other shows.

I kind of don't like those fights. I like endings like Edward vs Greed, just a quick decisive finish.
Blade catches or disinterested one-hand blocks
Allowing the enemy to stab, then grab their arm and "now I've got you"
Point-blank qi blasts
Beast mode due to major character death
Sleeper character (aged shopkeeper, humble butler) is forced to reveal their huge power level

>>119425882
Those are also good, but tricky to pull off satisfyingly, whereas the drawn out fights where they're reduced to sloppy punches are almost always fantastic.
I can't think of many fights like Ed vs. Greed that pull off the quick and skillfull decisive finisher as satisfyingly as that. Usually it's just a character being so powerful that they kill their opponent in one hit which is of course no fun at all.
I am a sucker for techniques. Usually works out as:
>All fighting is basically "which guy has the better trick"
or my favorite
>Fighting a much stronger opponent, but your ridiculous, gamey techniques and tricks keep you alive, even help you win
DESTRUCTO DISK! HA!!!!!!!
Protag and antag share a sense of respect for each other, and have a sort of "brotherly love"
>>119424586
yep but I think of it as the avatar of manga the plot falls apart when you think about it to hard but it REALLY pretty to look at, just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride
>>119418945
>injuries change the complexion of a fight
I hate it when this doesn't happen. Like two strong people clash and each land a bunch of powerful attacks and both are clearly battered, and even coughing up blood, but as long as they grit their teeth and scream when they launch a signature attack, they're basically in peak condition.
>>119426699
hell yeah love that stuff
>>119423785
This shit is mostly the reason I stuck with the likes of Toriko and Air Gear despite it's plot for so long.

>>119409701
Most of you guys are too young to remember this but I was on /a/ when this anime was airing.
Literally the situation was akame ga kill adaptationitus 1.0, as he said.
There was so much hype from the mongofans before the show started then as time went on /a/ became a battleground over with it was shit or not.
They literally suffered the same problems with the director, corny dialogue, censorship, sponsorship pandering, added scenes that made no sense... Mostly because they were both underbudget for two course series.
Ironically they both have decent OSTs but the manga fanbase hyped the series both times that would make one wonder if they would have near movie quality animation because of it was be assume this would be Madhouse's/Whitefox's most incredible work.
This actually almost happened a third time with studio Gonzo and a god tier battle series called 'Alive: The Final Evolution'.
This kind of shit happens because executives like to tell authors that it's going to be advertisement for the original medium even if it's not a perfect adaptation and the studio views it as basically a 'junk-bond' of sorts, "if Elfin lied and Shadowstar Narutaru were able to gain relative success food budget juggling maybe we might hit a golden egg too"
>>119416618
Ah god, Merry was a good manga until it pulled
>final boss was literally only the halfway point, entirely based off of one little detail that was dropped recently
MC had a good power progression, it was clear he wasn't overpowered, nor too underpowered, but just enough to keep up with the curve and solidly hold his own in the battles, actually accomplishing stuff.
>>119406909

In the anime he only got part of his moustache singed off, because muh-kid-friendly-shounen.
>Face Grabs. Bonus points if explosive.
> Arching back and using the "continuous fire" of their usual attack
>Broken hero purely fueled by RAAAGE and subverting the normal rules the universe uses.
But really, I just get riled up when a character calls bullshit on stances/releasing weapon/inner ki/bullshit and just goes "I don't need that shit, I'm a fucking monster" in a matter of fact tone (not boohoohoo I'm different and not mwahaha I'm so better than you) and whips out some kickass flexible claw-like fighting

Tokyo Ghoul probably had the absolute best MC progression from wimpy to ultimate badass ever, while still not making him stupid powerful or by any means perfect. He was really flawed and really powerful and so fucking based.

That would have to go the breaker and breaker new waves. Kid goes from a little bitch who can't fight to master of the strongest marital arts and head of the strongest martial arts clan.
>>119419239
are you high? that never happened in OP
I've always liked when the charecter uses a move that they normally use, but in a different way to try to get the catch on the enemy or to gain an upper hand in the battle. One piece does lots of this.
>MC and their rival have to join forces to take down the big bad
>>119419182
I like it when it's done right, which is very very unusual, especially considering how overused it is. Too often it's just "I'M ANGRY SO HERE'S A MASSIVE POWERUP, I'M NOW GOING TO WIN THIS FIGHT ONE-SIDEDLY DESPITE ALMOST DYING TWO SECONDS AGO".
Stuff where the Berserk mode is a *serious* drawback (not shit like Naruto going past 4 tails will shorten his lifespan or something), and isn't an instant win button.
If they pull the "can't tell friend from foe while berserk" card, then there better be a plot-related friend killing, otherwise that's just a worthless stipulation.
>>119427579
The anime does it better. In the anime Cruz is the brains of the operation and while it may seem cheezy I liked the normal guy being the linch pin in a pass or fail operation between a bunch of x-men. And that's still a forte of his in the manga, but when you give him not a power but THE power that makes him the ultimate shield, he looses a lot of dynamic in any given scenario. He know longer has to be protected, and now he can defend himself against incredibly powerful attacks. Just takes a lot away from the manga, especially when it got bogged down with "Cruz, you've got to master your fragment or you can't keep with the group" faggotry. Shame.

>>119420101
Soul Eater had such good powerlevels. Where the MCs are obviously constantly powering up and thrashing the villians like Arachne, and yet their friends, the other primary characters, are just keeping such a clear gulf in power between them still. Maka and Soul wouldn't stand a chance against Black Star or Kidd by the end.
>>119427721
>>119427963
That is another great one that gets me super hype. I just meant when they don't even get to fight back MC just beats the living shit out of the. Nothing but a beat down
>>119422477

The author knew exactly what he was doing.

>>119422663
Dragonslayer is shit in-universe too, only someone with Guts' unnatural at worst, supernatural at best abilities can utilize it at all.
>>119426254
Yeah I meant 03 FMA. For me I just like well choreographed fights and its hard to make those longer. I prefer short and sweet over a long, drawn out fight but I can see the appeal of them for others.
>>119426548
It shouldn't be that hard. It should be fast, back and forth, and ending quickly and decisively. Let the loser get in a few licks and hold his won before getting beat.
I can think of a few examples fromThe Legend of Korra
>>119422657
This picture is basically the only good thing to come out of that entire long-ass war arc.

>Fighting a much stronger opponent, but your ridiculous, gamey techniques and tricks keep you alive, even help you win
I love this as long as it contains so ass pulls.
>>119426699
Rurouni Kenshin did something like that. I don't think Kenshin ever really hated any of his opponents and he respected some of them like Saito and Shishio and he actually felt bad for that last big bad whose name escapes me at the moment.
>>119426824
Bleach was pretty bad with this. They lose so much blood and yet keep going.
>>119423806
I'd have such a boner if this ever actually happened.

>>119423970
Akame ga Kill was a faithful adaptation up until the anime-only-end and it fucking sucked because literally everything was just copy-pasted from the manga.
Scenes like Tatsumi/Wave equipping Incursio/Grand Chariot should have fucking amazing in anime form, but they were just so underwhelming because the anime team did nothing creative with them, just copied over the manga panels for a stylish still frame, added voices and sound effects and there you go.
I agree that some studios take too much liberty with what they adapt, but there has to be SOME direction that makes the anime a different experience than the manga other than seeing the characters move between manga frames.
When protags weak friend get's to kick ass for once
>>119428603
Furichi was all ready strong as fuck. Him and oga were the only reasons I read that shit.
>>119428164
oh god that art is tasty as fuck, gonna pick this up, thanks anon
>>119428603
It's a shame the author hates Furuichi so much. What a cunt.
>>119427583
That sounds like they made him stupid powerful.
>>119428800
He did nothing but train for two whole fucking manga.
>>119428747
Yeah especially since the author basically fanboys over him in interviews. WTF
>>119428876
>>119428747
The author of beelz is a girl. Which is why oga training beelz to be a man was shit but holy shit was it funny.

>I'd have such a boner if this ever actually happened.
Go play Asuras Wrath, or watch it on Youtube. Whichever. Its basically an interactive anime movie with tons of cutscenes, quicktime events and some boss fights.
Theres lots of parts where some evil assholes is giving their big speech about how great they are, and a quicktime even will sometimes come up to tell them to shut the fuck up and punch them in the fucking face.
Asura is basically rage incarnate. Hes like a mix betwen the Hulk, and 40K orks. The madder he gets, the stronger he gets. And if he gets mad enough, he can basically make anything happen.
The games cheesy as shit, but its fucking glorious.

I'll bring up Akame ga Kill once again in this thread because Syura.

The true champion.
>>119429074
I stopped reading AgK after this fight. I didn't wanna see my nigga wave go down.
>>119428933
if the author is a girl it sure explains a couple of things.
>>119428355
They pull the cheap excuse of
>when were you under the impression that spirits can die of blood loss?
>>119429165
Yup
>>119428994
sweet fuck that fight made me cream my pants. 10/10 I am going to get this fucking game.
I love it when two characters get into a fight only to have their relationship improve as the outcome of said fight.

Not really specifically fight related, but I like characters like Toujou. In a series full of demons and humans with demon contracts, he molly-whops people as a normal human with brute strength. He doesn't need bullshit powers. He just trains his body.
Captain Bravo from Buso Renkin too. His Buso Renkin is a suit of armor with no real offensive applications. He is the top guy in the Alchemist Army and all he does is cast fist.

Lee still remains the best character of that series and holder of the most crowning moments of awesome.
I'm still buttmad to this very day that he didn't win that fight against Gaara.

Lee had to show them his Springtime of youth
>>119429427
lee and guy are the closest things to ninjas in that show. everyone else is literally wizards that call themselves ninjas
>>119429699
Lee and Guy aren't even ninjas. They are just fighters. The only ninjas of the show would be kankuro, sai, itachi, and tenzo(yamato)
>>119429488
>Good guy with broken powers
I fucking love this as long as it's not one of the main characters, but just a side character.
Bonus points if they have a complete superiority complex over whoever the enemy is. Like in HxH, Netero fighting Meruem, saying shit like "Ants should just get crushed underfoot, that is your role in the world and our roll as humans" after getting two of his limbs chopped off. Meruem even tries to talk with him instead of fighting and Netero just fucking ignores all words of reason in order to crush the enemy.
More bonus points (independant of the first bonus points) if the character dies horribly by getting simply outpowered and crushed. It doesn't have to a tragic death, but as long as they get introduced as invincible flawless death incarnate on the battlefield, and end as a dying husk against an enemy they could barely scratch.
>>119429699
Lee and guy are less ninja them fucking ninja jesus. You really think they don't tell at the top of there lunges when the fight starts? Also all the oras and atat's they gotta do while fightning
>>119429787

>Might Guy doesn't get to die in the peak of his Springtime

Fuck you Naruto, you turned a great character's fantastic ending that he was happy with, into a tragic extended lifespan. Fuck you. You robbed him of his only dream.

>>119429699
I agree with this guy
>>119429734
The only true ninjas are most Anbu members and stuff like Uchiha clan for the most part (shit like Sasuke and Madara excluded of course, and half the time you should exclude Itachi as well).
Sarutobi was pretty ninja and so was Kankuro I guess until he started using Sasori's puppet and all of its abilities with it.

>>119406909
The wing man kicking ass and gettin a bitch
>>119429975
You're right, because of the parodical nature of the manga.
>>119430097
It's decent. It actually explains how he gets his ki channels back then he works his ass off to be leader of the sun wu clan and leader or murmin. You also see him fucking rage once a delinquent gang put his mom in the hospital after beating her with bats and lead pipes.
>>119428994
What the hell with this music, what that really the one in the game ? It's so fucking unfitting it makes me want to puke.

>>119430266
Doesn't change anything whatever may the explanation be. Couldn't even handle the rest of the video, and that's supposed to be one of the most epic battle ever in a Video game ? So disappointing. Even the "shut up" par at the start was terribly done.
>>119429975
That's because OPM is one big joke. It's essentially power man.

Or when someone is getting wrecked and on their last limbs so out of pure willpower, they go nuts.
Fights interspaced with slow-mo, and gratuitous environmental damage
When the MC gets a power up the audience has been waiting for, but teases that shit just fucking right.
I love it when the MC is absolutely helpless and tries to do everything he can but it's all for naught.
It really helps to make you want to root for them.
