Thank god there's finally someone who points this out, it's not like every criticism is immediately answered by 5 different sarcastic priests. IKR!? I'm just so amazing and original! <3 We're getting into meta-meta-sarcasm now, we're almost as deep as Shirou's character. |

ijuka said: robis798 said: Nice episode, but when is Saber going to kick someone's ass? Isn't she the strongest servant? ( excluding berserker, idk ) In the case it wasn't obvious from episode 1, Shirou is a bad master and Saber cannot use her full powers due to him. Incomplete summoning as well IIRC. Well, and isn't she still wounded by lancer's spear? They didn't emphasize this fact much but it's big issue. |
BotatoPriest said: Taking the spotlight in Fate doesn't make her weak tho. Saber class is not the strongest, it's just the most balanced in terms of stats. But stats also depend on the Master. You also need to remember that the heroic spirit's legend is important (basically their combat skills and abilities/Noble Phantasms). Unfortunately for Saber, the other Servants are God-tier in this war so simply being strong won't be enough. You can't deny she was a lot more badass in that route, though. |
dankickyou said: robis798 said: And am I the only one that is not enjoying her getting beat up? :D Yes. Everyone loves seeing Saber get beaten up because of pity kick the dog moe that Saber is best at. Yeah, I will never understand you people for that unjustified hate ( dislike ) you have towards her. But I'm going off topic, Tyrel almost banned me for going off topic a few weeks ago. |

InsertPriestHere said: robis798 said: Well I don't remember exactly where I heard that she is the strongest, but it was mentioned more than once and she is getting beaten up a lot of the times. And am I the only one that is not enjoying her getting beat up? :D Again, the class is the strongest, technically. However, Saber is hindered by having Shirou as a master. And again, she had all the spotlight in Fate, so she's marginalized here. The class is the strongest due to good magic resistance and being good at close combat, but it's only in straight up combat and isn't very tricky. Caster can use tricks and stuff although is generally considered the weakest, Berserker is actually the strongest but is insane, Assassin can kill masters even though he's not good at fighting vs servants, Archer is ranged which of course is an advantage over melee, Lancer is the most agile servant class even though I guess Lancer should lose to Saber in head-to-head combat but it might be more useful when you need to close distance quickly... Rider is good at... riding? I have no clue honestly. |

Who cares about best girl being too OP. Exactly. Who cares about best girls being OP? Rin x Saber, best pairing confirmed. Saber will give Rin money by selling her armour. She can always make some more. Rin gets 100 A ranks gems. Competition curbstomped. Best girls win! We just need to get Rider and Ilya in somewhere along the way... |

That's like: "Why is Super Man weak?" "Well he was given his moments in movie 1, so it's okay if he's weak in movie 2." Which would be an inconsistency between both stories. She is just as strong as in Fate, just that the circumstances are different and she has bad match ups. |

| Even though every fiber of my being wanted the Kuzuki/Saber fight to last longer, it was best to make it feel so quick. Gives room to justly explain Saber being caught off guard. Same with Shirou but for different reasons. I actually thought his desperation came across pretty well. It wasn't as emphasized here but I'd hope anime viewers can think critically enough to realize he pushed himself beyond his limits with no regard to his own life, for Rin's sake. Man, Shinji and his new buddy sure do seem to mesh. |
 |
| It wasn't the fight in particular. Seeing Emiya pull himself up really hit me in the feels. Seeing it on the big screen just made me love his resolve that much more. |
| Lancer v Archer was just on another plane yo |
| unlimited budget works does it again an fucking mind blowing episode when shiro used trace on and made archers blades it gave me goosebumps O_O AMAZING!!!! saber got her ass handed to her a.nd shiro was about to avenge the shit out of her !!!!!!!!!!!! insane episode IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ONLY 10 MINS LONG! more please! |
 |
| The sasaki vs archer sharing of blows did look pretty good. All I can say for this episode was animation bump. The regular animation looked way better also. I think less liberal /more efficient use of CGI helped. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

Shirou was actually avenging Rin. Avenging Saber would mean bad end. |

| I don't think that this was that good. The instance where Kuzuki threw Saber to the wall was good, apart from that not great. They cut away and then cut back after a hit connected, couldn't really see the whole picture at all until Saber was rekt which bothered me. The best fight probably was Archer vs Lancer, but Berserker fight was great as well. |

Drake1000 said: The Berserker fight is the best one so far imo, with Archer vs Lancer coming second. Pfft. You can easily see past the effects in the berserker vs saber fight. It looked kinda suckish and the blood looked stupid (also she shouldn't have killed him but yeah) |
Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Best animated fight so far imo has been Saber vs Lanver. Not only it had the top class choreography (like Archer vs Lancer), but also dat Gae bolg animation. |

 She looks like a machine that's had it's battery take out. :O |

| best fight was the brief Taiga vs Shirou fight. To see the skills of Taiga is a rare sight indeed |
| The Art of Eight |
| Agreed. For animation production- saber vs lancer then archer vs lancer then team saber vs team caster. However with both choreography and animation I think team saber vs team caster is the best. |
Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

Probably more accurate to say exchange of blow. |
