>tfw rewatched that Charizard X vs Ash-Greninja fight over and over
Make the two trainers some random nobodies so it's portrayed in a vacuum and it's a greatly choreographed and the best animated fight I've seen. Especially if you edit out the pauses and dialogues. One part flowed to the next and each blow and block had weight.
>at the start, Ash tried the "sneak attack through the smoke tactic" 3 times until it succeeded with Alan doing his best to fend it off
>Alan followed up one opening after another
>Dragon Claw knockdown to flying flamethrower to blast burn while diving from the sky
>Ash-Greninja countered the Blast Burn before it spread
>like seriously, you see the water shuriken travel halfway the arena to prematurely defuse the explosion
>Charizard spent time on the ground feeling heavy to contrast Greninja's speed
>it also spent equal time in the air feeling light and fast so that it can have a high-speed battle with Greninja
>Ash-Greninja only prepared the giant shuriken when Charizard got knock back and partially stunned by a smaller water shuriken
>Alan saw that Greninja was busy charging up and decided to fire a simultaneous blast burn instead of dodging banking on Charizard's toughness
The only weak part was the Thunder Punch vs Water Shuriken section. Felt like it went to the Blast Burn vs Orange Shuriken part too quickly. I guess that's the limitation of only having 4 moves. If Charizard still had Steel Wing and Greninja had a flashier move like say Night Slash, it would be great to see.
