I love how our Airbender discombobulated his opponent by attacking his senses. That’s a creative use of air bending we haven’t seen yet.

[thediamonddragon]

I love the fact that it doesn't finish harshly, and instead the air bender is just making him fix his broken paraglider. It's almost kinda wholesome, the rock guy wanted a challenge and the air guy was just having a glide.

I tought Water vs fire was top tier, but this is just insane, choreography and camera movement is amazing! Animation is great as always but I still see big improvement

The detail of the Earthbender parting the dust cloud was super cool since they're in a rocky terrain so the cloud would primarily be made from rocks

1:58 Seismic sense vs. air resistant. He can use earth bending to feel his movements. However, a bald air bender can react quickly to an object hurling at them. So they cancel kinda cancel each other out.

That clap to the ear with a wind blast after blinding the Earthbender was absolutely stunning. What an animation!! What a fight!!

[moth_erxx]

I love that the disoriented earth bender kinda desperately throws rocks around after being being temporarily crippled. It gives them a lot of emotion and character even if this isn’t meant to be story based.

Obviously the animation is stellar, but can we talk about the sound design too? It lines up so well with the choreography and they made everything match up so well! It really sets it apart from your standard action scene :D

[paulvideospro-gamers]

I love the way you portrayed both elements, the airbender didn't start the fight since they are peaceful and still managed to win it, showing how strong and powerful they can be, as well as using their opponent's strength against themselves, eluding him and even taking away his vision and hearing without seriously injuring him.

[hack-xglf]

You can see that the airbender’s fighting style is very floaty and agile. They are also trying their best to avoid collateral damage. Very true to the show.

Thanks for watching guys! This took around 2 months to make while working a full time job, so this project has been a daily routine for me every night. Had tons of fun planning and seeing it all come together, hope you guys enjoy! ☺
Edit: For those who thought why didn’t the Earthbender use seismic sense after the Airbender put some dirt in his eye, the Airbender slapped him in the ears to deafen and disorient him which made it difficult to focus on seismic sense.

You can tell the personalities and characteristics without them even uttering a word, phenomenal work!

[grigor]

I love how the fight wasn't started by the airbender, since they are pacifistic. Also incredible animation as always :)

[abdulmuqsit]

I don’t think people understand how well animated this is. You have capture the exact style of air and rather bending while adding your own beautiful choreography. This is on par with the animation in the actual show

[tylerblack]

I don’t know if anyone else picked up on this, but I LOVE the little detail at 3:08 of the Airbender using his staff to jump off to gain added height in order to strengthen his attack. Very very well done and amazing attention to detail.
The bending animation and storytelling you do is honestly leagues ahead of Legend of Korra IMO. The creativity and personality of the characters are conveyed visually and show an amazing understanding of “show don’t tell”

[Mulch]

Phenomenal. The use of kicks and stomps to launch boulders into the air before slamming them again and sending them flying is just so satisfying, as was Zuko's signature breakdance move translated into an airbender technique. Not to mention the sequence immediately after that - dust cloud giving me Blind Bandit vibes with that smile in the middle. Sound design also top-notch, accentuated each hit very well, and blaring horns accompanying key parts of the fight were perfectly placed. 10/10.

[jog]

Always thought it was interesting that airbenders essentially have one of the 'strongest' bending styles due to the versatility. The attacks are nearly invisible, they're disorienting, and not to mention being able to fly is incredible. I love how you captured the abilities and characteristics of each style. Also, the 'break dance' move goes so hard.

[yellowriot]

What a masterpiece, it was animated so well

[villa]

The way you portrayed the fundamentals of each fighting style is splendid. How the earth bender stood his ground, used the terrain to an advantage, tried to get rocks in the way of his opponent´s path to dodging, and went for plenty of frontal atacks to overwhelm him. Meanwhile, the airbender tried to find an angle, dodged all he could, was versatile and prioritized mobility and atacks of oportuniy, even before falling to the ground after taking a hit.

I fucking loved this.

1:12 Imagine how badass it is just start breakdancing in midair
