>>161799048
Toriyama has very readable fights, but his overall ability to write a fight varies drastically. And it doesn't help that after the first Arc of Dragon Ball Z the number of techniques being used dropped considerably. Then we started reintroducing more varied ki techniques later on, they're usually just useless.

I put Arakawa Hiromu pretty high on my list when it comes to overall great fights. Murata and endo Hiroki are up there too.

>>161801907
The paneling is just fine. Ignore that cancerous wanpissfag.
Compare it to the One Piece one in that page and the DB one is easy to follow whereas in the OP one it doesn't flow at all and you have no idea what's going on

>>161802297
That FMA page on there looks like shit

Murata's shit always looks unreadable as fuck to me and I just read the dialogue like Eyeshield 21...no clue what was happening 95% of the time. Great illustrator but terrible manga artist.

Toriyama is great though as far as DB is concerned, only up to a point. From Frieza Saga onwards the fights are pretty weak but that Kintoki one-shot showed that he's still able to put together decent fights.

Makoto Raiku gets better further into Gash Bell too, starts off slow though.

Unironically Hiroshi Takahashi. They're all quite short and don't drag on forever, have a lot of impact and don't feature mental shit. His longer fights all flow quite nicely as well and it never feels like a chore reading them.

Lately One Piece "fights" have all been meme clashes and then cutting away from the action instead of a well choreographed battle. Oda's been doing this shit more since Thriller Bark instead of having actual fights.

How does it feel to be blind? Take a look at the page again, Oda would not do even dream of paneling as well as Toriyama does. Dragon Ball's fights have an impact that other mangakas just can't achieve,

Despite the artstyle, "talking is a free action", the fact that the fights could be more graphically violent (with blood, injuries, heavy hit scenes; I don't think I would lose willing suspension of disbelief this way) and focus *more* on movement/positioning choices, elaborate gameplans that accounts for real-life environment hurdles (wind, missteps) other players' stamina along the matches (considering the matches' development also according to which players are considered favorites to win, and the distribution of players' types -- infighter/outfighter/counter) and the players' psychological states (from being tired or injured or scared or otherwise emotionally unstable), I don't remember having complaints towards Keijo. Panelling isn't noticeable, but doesn't get in the way, and the action is easy to understand.
Speaking on the non-graphic aspects of the fights, I like how the characters personalities affect their playstyles, the countermeasures they use for new and already introduced techniques, and I like the power progression feeling believable (returning characters who haven't appeared in a while show signs of improvement, MCs and people around them gradually improve; in many matches in the manga, if you replace one of the characters with a future version of themselves, it would greatly improve said character's winning chances), among other things.

It wasn't exactly a "break away." If by third panel you mean the one with just the boot, that's showing whatshisname beginning the kick to engage in a sacrifice throw, specifically a tomoe nage. Seems like he got flung and the artist didn't have the room to include showing whateverheis doing a flip to recover.

The big issue is doing it with your arm in a lock like that is just gonna make it more likely to break your arm due to the fact most people brace as best they can for the fact they're about to get thrown very hard.

He's not breaking away, he's being thrown and regaining his footing. Seems pretty clear to me.

>>161802297
Endo's MMA fights are very well-crafted as actual fights, but there''s a bit of a lack of flair/energy to them visually. That's not really a flaw in this case (it's a sports series, not an action one), but if we're evaluating it against normal fight scenes, it's not quite the same thing. It's been too long since I've read Eden, so I don't remember how the action was there.

>>161804208
>Good but why is he attacking him with his right when his left would have more momentum?
>he
Hisoka in the second panel? He's standing sideways with his right arm facing Gon, and is swaying backwards, so turning to hit with the left would be too slow on its own (particularly since Gon's primed to punch again in the first panel). He punches with the right, turns during that and his next dodge, and then strikes with the left.

I didn't pick that page, I'm not the same poster. But it is still fucking brilliant. I don't know if you are blind or baiting. Goku is already in the air because it i emphasizing how fast he is with the Kaioken (we even see the sudden movement of Vegeta's head trying to spot him). Vegeta punches straight because Goku was doing an arc, he even left a drawing of the aura where Goku was before he backflips so you can see where he was, but apparently you are retarded. Also, I only brought One Piece because the post I was replying to did.

>>161813255
>>161813032
As long as he's selecting a single page on his own, that's going to be cherrypicking, it's pretty much inevitable. The proper autistic way to do it would be to select a random page/chapter number, and take the first fight page closest to that from each series, and repeat a few times (and maybe do spreads separately from non-spreads).

I actually didn't even look at the post >>161813344 was responding to, I was speaking about Murata in general. So my point still stands.

>>161811521
I think he's ok, not the best. There are times his fights are great, but other times, his paneling and layouts obscure or make it difficult to read the actions he is drawing. For instance, I noticed Mirio's Phantom Menace move made a lot of people confused the first time it was revealed. I chalk it up to the way he gave Mirio a post-action pose while not connecting his past moves in a more coherent manner. I liked the page, but I can see why people were confused at first glance.

>>161807223
Is the key to good action just to exaggerate the hell out of everything? Or are there good simplistic action too?

>>161813803

Since Marineford i thought that Oda was saving some of the characters abilities for later for better fights. But then... i keep seeing the same problem. Oda builds some vendetta or something between characters, they clash, suddenly cut-off to another place, people talk, cut to another place where something funny happens, cut-off to where the other characters clashed and shit is over.
Franky vs Senor Pink was scattered through small panels probably over 20 chapters until a final chapter ending that fight.
We reach BM's arc, a bunch of clashes happens, they start but then you only see the conclusion
Only Luffy have fully completed fights but they are about Luffy doing another variation of a huge punch, a gattling gun and scratching his arm.

I know Oda was never a fights guy but more about the adventure, but at least he tried to do fights(that Luffy vs Usopp), not skip them and not just with Luffy, but with all Shs. Except for Robin that have a broken ability.

I don't think that's the word you're looking for, since choreography generally involves movement. Composition, maybe?

Anyway, don't know who my all-time favorite is, but since I'm rereading Houseki no Kuni right now, I have to mention Ichikawa. Definitely the best individual shot compositions of any ongoing I know of.

Sousei no Onmyouji have pretty good fight scenes. UQ Holder as well. Akamasu has always been good at this.

>>161816072
They're pretty neat. Since it is grounded in reality, more or less, the simplistic fights involving firearms and knives and wild animals and stuff feel all pretty hefty.
What carries it through is that they're over in a flash. The action is quick and takes two or three pages. Slamming someone with a rifle butt shouldn't take a lot of time in presentation.

It's a nice change of pace considering there are a million series where people beat each other senselessly for 5 chapters in a row until the author decides that this particular punch/bullet/laser did actually matter.

Really? His art looks great and all, but I don't remember most of his fights being particularly dynamic.

>>161821070
I think we're basically saying the same thing. It's absolutely necessary, I just wouldn't say "anything else is just flavoring." That's like saying "writing only has to be coherent, everything else is flavoring." An unintelligible work is shit, but an intelligible one isn't good just because. That "flavoring" is important.

Haven't read Kamuy, don't know if the characters involved in fast fights are important in the story (at least more important than throwaway characters, or even than arc-specific characters), congratulations to the author if they are. Reminds me of Eden, where (near the beginning of the story) the backstory of one of the characters (who can throw knives accurately) is shown (although it might be that the author didn't want to spend a lot of pages on that character's fight against the character who killed his older brother, or didn't have enough room to showcase that fight, which seems unlikely).

Speaking of fight speeds, I like when the character matchups are interesting (so the characters can show how they deal with each other's peculiarities, and/or matchup advantages/disadvantages, and try to out-adapt each other), when the characters' arsenal is interesting/varied enough to try to anticipate the fights' progress and try to solve problems before the characters do (or don't). More often than not, fights where the author wants to show traits of both characters last longer; if there's not something "interesting" to be shown, the fight can feel dragged on, which is probably why, for example, that Ryuuzaki (in Akagi) didn't have any particularly interesting trait to show, and served mostly to showcase Akagi's incredible perception (while Yagi, who comes right after him, helps showcase Akagi's also incredible emotional strength/mental toughness and guts to trust his own insights).

>>161816072
I really should continue where I left off. Member that bear that tore of a guy's face?

>>161802297
This is sort of my problem with db super. Both the anime AND manga. Sure the fights are enjoyable, but there seems to be a lot less finesse and technique displayed. The characters had stopped learning or developing new attacks to take on newer threats and just fell back to really fast punches and kicks and the usual kamehameha to wrap things up. I don't even think a spirit Bomb or masenko had even been used once in the anime or manga

>>161821942

>>161821636
Also, speaking of damage (the "people beat each other senselessly"), I don't like when characters look like they're sponging damage; each damage opportunity should be treated as a mistake from the receiver (I like how in Keijo, Mio, who's been portrayed as a genius-type character, ends her matches unscathed, while Sayaka, who's a level-headed, often serious/pragmatic character who plans her stamina usage in advance, struggles and has to push her limits against similar challenges), and the damage's severity should be treated as being proportional to the severity of that mistake.

Also, being a fighting game fag, I like to see whiff punishes, don't like to see characters dodging attacks and not even consider using that time advantage in their favor (if the attacker doesn't give good enough openings for that, though, that's a different story). I also like well-placed attacks (quick example, Aioria in G -- iirc --, aiming for a specific spot in his opponent's -- don't remember who -- armor which is supposed to be the most fragile spot, or Ramon in a KoF comic targetting Ryo's ribs which were broken in his previous round against Maxima) over several ineffective ones (which I also treat as a mistake, a waste of stamina that eliminates the universe of possibilities where the character hasn't wasted it, for each mistake committed), and I like good spacing (in RRR, the MC is involved in a street fight and uses boxing basics of "shortest attack path" to decide whether to attack or defend).

That's because Transformations became the best way to handle an opponent. And since almost Transformations did was make somebody punch harder and faster it created a situation where a lot less creativity was needed to defeat somebody.

Those (>>161807042) are thought bubbles, but there are other moments when characters are talking; in one way, it's not like attacking them while they're talking would work, and the exposition is helpful (to the reader), but at times, talking works or should work against the characters (in this image's match, MC ends it by dragging the match against her opponent to tire her out, and stopping to talk to other characters would be counterproductive; in other matches, characters gain important pieces of information from what their opponents say; in the first of two mock races, Sayaka loses because she learns why her opponent wants to avenge her friend).
I feel, though, that the talks don't affect the matches' end result, just the odds, and there was at least one time I remember (Sayaka vs. Nanase) when a character was attacked during her speech.

At least Genos has onscreen wins while the Eight Kings were hyped up which is Toriko's only selling point farther than the heavens itself and still got annihilated effortlessly and only beat Toriko as a single feat.

It was just gory rape at the end but Acacia's dick was the only one that got wet and I guess you can count the third asspull demon as well.
