The visuals, the music, the Direction I don't see anything which can compare to this. What are your opinions?

I agree and disagree, because there's a lot of ways to deffine what is a "good fight" scene, it all comes down to wath each person likes the most; realism over super powers, martial arts fidelity over good animation in surreal fights, fights with clash of ideals instead of a fight just to win or lose, etc

BUT MAN

If I were to rank all fight scenes I've already seen independently of why they're considered good, Saber vs Rider would clash real hard with any fight that deserves a 1st place, and, for me, a person that loves surreal fight scenes, undoubtly it was the best surreal/superpowered fight scene I've ever seen. This fight was fire af, I don't care if it ended too quickly, for the fight's entire duration I just felt hype, I remained almost breathless.

Its definitely one of the best fights ever, but I personally prefer Shirou vs Kirei because it felt like the end of Fate/Stay Night and I found it more interesting.
Although I do think that Saber Alter vs Rider had much better animation and it would have definitely been my favorite fight of all time if it weren't for Kirei vs Shirou

The only fight I can think of that's comparable to Rider/Shirou vs Saber is Gon vs Pitou, but that's more of a one-sided beatdown than a fight. So, it's deffinitely the best FIGHT fight I've seen. It was truly incredible to watch.

It was great fight scene, but not the best. I might be in the minority, but I actually loved Saber Alter vs. Berserker more. It felt just so bombastic.

I love how you put this bc many fights try to accomplish different purposes so it's hard to put equal value on all of them. But yea this fight ticked so many boxes, that no can really say a bad thing about it even if it's not their cup of tea

It may be the best anime animation i've ever seen. i only wish Shirou vs Berserker fight would be as good as this since it ended within like 10secs, but maybe they didn't want to copypaste berserker vs saber fight that's why it was so underwhelming and ended so quick.

Shirou vs Berserker was one of the hypest fights in the vn, mainly due to Shirou's internal thoughts. That kinda got lost in an anime.

Actually TRUE
yes, I rarely watch shounen, but so far the battle in Fate is very epic compared to other anime, Idk if any shounen or actions anime have epic fights like Fate, if there is please tell me, but it looks like I still choose the Fate that has a amazing fight, Music, ost and graphics anime ever especially Salter vs Berseker & Salter vs Rider, today it is unmatched.

idc about the animation, the emotional impact of the scene with Berserker vs Saber alter got me more, making me go stunned all the time when I was watching it and you could even feel the tense when theyre transferring scenes to other characters during the fight whilst on Rider vs Saber alter, I feel the impact but it's not greater than what I felt on Berserker vs Saber alter

Riders have always been underclassed by their abilities and overclassed by their Noble Phantasm. Medusa is one of the most ill-placed and quickly disposed of in the Grail War. Can't say that anymore. In all respects, Jesus Christ.

Just watch the film and yes it is in terms of animation, choreography and hype one of the best fight I have ever watched, maybe the best fight. I personally like fights more when they got a great build up like the fights in Hunter x Hunter but this one was so epic that I had to run through my room the whole time.
Thank you Ufotable and those amazing animators, especially you Abe, Nozomu.

True that, I think I feel the same as you.
Besides, I think they altered choreography the Saber vs Rider fight because it wasn't as obvious how formidable Saber truly was.
As in originally Rider had to mostly try to run away and find an opening but in the animation it almost seemed like Saber was on the defensive. Hell, she fought head to head with Berserker who has way higher attack power than Rider, there is no way Rider attacks would actually put her on the defensive 😂

I think Kirei vs Shirou in the visual novel is the best fight ever. Everything, including the musics and the narration, and things that were only said in the visual novel, made the fight feel a lot more satisfying in the visual novel than in the anime.
The anime one was also great, but just not as much as its visual novel version.

She actually does have high attack power.

Saber Alter as A rank Strength, Berserker has A+ rank and Medusa has B rank.
But Medusa can raise it to A with her Monstrous Strength skill. It is the purple glow you see on her legs when she was hitting Saber.She was also bringing Saber's stats down a rank with her Mystic Eyes.

Saber on the other hand has shit Agility and has to repel her.

Against Berserker she couldnt do much without energy blasts. The only time she didnt was at the very end when she stopped his most straightforward attack, right before Excaliblasting him.

Yeah, i do understand your opinion, although as someone who has read the VN i have always enjoyed the anime more, and the same goes for this fight, dont get me wrong its also amazing in the VN but i did enjoy it more in the anime for 2 reasons, it had amazing animation and it wasn’t as one sided like in the VN.
Although i do have to agree that in terms if visuals, it was not the best fight in the movie but it really did not matter since it had a lot of emotional impact, I personally think that they adapted it perfectly.

Best fight in the entire Fate Stay Night Franchise hands down.


Not even Tiamat beast from Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia can compete with this.

I'm just so happy that Ufotable displayed Medusa's Bellerophan noble phantasm on the screen.

It was glorious. Beautiful. Stunning. Was left speechless.

Just pure beauty that led to eyegasms.

10/10 would watch again.

In terms of animation it's easily the best thing I've seen but animation isn't everything and there are different types of fights that try to do different things. Such as this one tried to be as well animated as possible.

the effects animation were just gorgeous, the action direction was very good but saber vs berserker was a bit better than this.

I think that Yutaka Nakamura worked on this fight since there were a lot of scenes with Yutapon cubes and Impact frames.

Meruem vs Netero is a very different fight from this one, it is more about ideals and perspectives.

Not that, her defense is almost impenetrable if she could take Berserker's attacks without significant damage. Rider's attacks were like mosquito bites in comparison. Her armor is heavier, which is why she has less agility.
Also, the energy blasts have A++ attack rating, since that's the stat of her magical energy and noble phantasm. Even her default attacks use magical energy to cause mini explosions and boost her attack power, she always had this ability.

But that's not the point here at all. In the anime fight it looked pretty even, but what actually happened is that Rider struggled to find a single opening to use her noble phantasm before her endurance ran out.
The scenario being "Saber was overwhelming", the anime choreography failed at the "snow not tell part". If you would consider the VN more of a "tell" kind of thing since it's based primarily on text walls, the anime has to be the "show" part.

Heracles attacks were pointless because she heals fast, which is a problem in the Rider fight as well. The only time she suffers actual damage she cant heal from is when Rider uses Bellerophon.

Rider using her speed to exchange blows with Saber and avoid her devastating mana blasts isnt something that breaks lore.

Rider is still struggling to find an opening, with Saber's only problem being her eyes, not any attack that Rider managed to land, leading to the part where she traps her in the rocks for only a moment in order to prepare her NP. Of the two, Rider is the only one actually injured before the use of the NPs.

Imo the anime did well to show the strong points of both Servants.
