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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I don’t know if anyone else picked up on this, but I LOVE the little detail at 3:09 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”

I like how they're not super powerful being, the airbender doesn't have weightlessness nor does he pull out the air from the earthbender's lungs, we also don't see metal nor lava bending They're just casual benders, one's just chilling and the other wanted a challenge

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.

I'm losing my mind at the choreography, facial expressions, and the sheer weight and *impact* of every attack. The dedication for this project oozes from every corner! Good job!

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.

I really like how much you emphasized the Airbender being pacifistic, but far from harmless. Monk Gyatso would be proud.

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.

What a masterpiece, it was animated so well

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

I love how the earthbender tends to block more while the airbender dances and dodges around

The sequence from 1:50 onwards is probably my favourite, because you can very clearly infer the earthbender's strategy and thoughts without even seeing him most of the time. The moment the airbender takes a single step on the ground, the earthbender's picked him up on his tremorsense - you can see him smirk for a brief moment, as if to say 'there you are!'. So he launches a rock at that location, only for the airbender to dodge and counterattack immediately. Attacking from an unseen location alone won't work, the airbender's reflexes are too honed. So for his next attack, he makes sure to immobilise the airbender first, then launch a bigger rock that he can't deflect with air. The fact that all of that was communicated with no dialogue is a testament to how well done the choreography is.

The return of the King

One subset of air ending we've only seen Yangchen do in the books: Soundbending Which if you think about it, can be deviststing as the applications are quite varied. And a subset of earthbending that can be pretty terrifying would be glass bending... Literally melting sand and flipping it between it's liquid and solid states like a water bender does with water and ice.

I absolutely love how he doesn't have that seismic sense thing because not many earth benders learned it (Toph, her blindness, and her future family are from the future, so they've adapted to learn it from the start while people from the past havent)

I love how at the end the earth bender fixes the airbender's staff😂 This was an incredible animation!!

Avatar Studios would be insanely stupid to not hire you. This is incredible. The choreography is not only spectacular, but it's accurate to the martial arts used in the show for the chosen bending styles. Slap that on top of the absolutely perfect sound design and mixing and I got a fuckin endorphin rush just listening to the whole thing. Sensational work. Can't imagine how long it took. With a movie coming up and a new show announced (with an Earthbender being the lead no less), the team making them would be more than lucky to have you. Raw talent. Keep doin what you're doin kiddo

i love creative avatar fights without the intent of killing the opponent because if you were trying to kill someone literally all elements have some sort of instakill move

I like to think that the airbender was just travelling to one of the temples but was interrupted because the earthbender wanted to prove his worth or have some fun for himself. We can see it didn't go well for them. One has to get his glider fixed and the other has to fix it, and they're in a literal rocky place with no other person in kilometers where you can be lost. Probably they became friends after this.

2:20 I specifically love this sequence of events. The dive is animated perfectly and the air-dust attack and ear clap are so satisfying and fit perfectly into the avatar universe even though they were never used in the show. Very creative and excellent!

I live for these “single camera, no cuts” moments, 1:26 they’re so hard to do but done right look absolutely awesome. Fantastic work!

I love the visualization of the air bending, how fluid the motion was and the Tai chi that he uses 100/10

I love how you've been able to make this so incredibly realistic! I'm not just talking about the animation. The personalities and reactions are incredible too, not to mention them running out of stamina realistically! This whole thing is just so incredible, you're awesome at this!

3:18 Air bender:man, I know I broke 2 of your ribs with that fall but... fix my little plane there

I actually can't believe you don't have a waaaaaaaay bigger audience than you do. This is amazing man. Your animations remind me of Sadist, who blew up from making Dream SMP animations a while back. Keep going and I'm sure you'll get similar success!

this fight just goes to show how underrated airbenders are.

It's cool that the air bender did not start the fight but still won it

Gods I adore the accuracy of the body language for each bending. To simplify, air as a dance and earth as a martial art, but the nuance in the motions both while airborne and grounded are phenomenal. Truly gorgeous animation

That outro gave me a chuckle. That aside impressive animation. That fighting was just insane combined with the sound design. I like how you used a more open space for the battlefield which makes it more dynamic in a way. Hoping for this to blow up so that more people can see this masterpiece!

2:22 POCKET SAND!

THE AIRBENDER STEPPING OFF HIS OWN STAFF IS SUCH A COOL LITTLE DETAIL little shaolin monkey trick

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING The after credit scene of the earthbender fixing the glider meekly with the air nomad supervising is hilarious

I love how you managed to tell a story during this fight without any words. The earthbender obviously gives off vibes of an overconfident bully who's clearly never fought someone his own size before while the airbender is a calm, pure hearted soul who wouldn't hurt a fly. How ironic yet very satisfying that such a strong, hardened bruiser was taken down by a pacifist monk. Great animation.

The blind and deaf would've been a perfect showcase for seismic sense.

The airbender gives “I’m not mad, just disappointed” vibes

i like how the earthbender was always trying to keep himself on the floor and on defensive waiting for the moment to strike (that is a good use of neutral jing) and him fixing the glider after he looses

An absolute masterpiece! I really love how you can the nature of both of the elements throughout the animation with air being more evasive and waiting for the right moment to strike and earth having a stronger stance and a more aggressive approach.

I love how he fixes the wind glider in the end.

I love every aspect and detail of this fight; the choreography is so natural, so smooth and very, VERY cool 👏

[Inserted]: "...and when we needed him most he returned"

I really love the end where from the previous vid, you only place the waterbender without a face but now you've added the Airbender having the earth bender fixing his glider 😂😂😂 You really put a lot to your videos. I also love how the fight was not immediately started as it was just calm before the storm. Keep up the magnificent work my guy 😁

This was one of the best animation fights I've seen so far. I would love to see Fire vs Air as the next animated fight on this channel.

absolutely phenomenal. it must've taken a lot of work being true to the source material but also having a lot of cool new moves mixed in there. i can't express enough how much i love this. fantastic job.

The thing is you choose opposite elements for these duels is amazing, really love it sm.

Gotta love those acrobatics that you animated. Really fluid movements and non stop action that's so easy to follow. And for this to get any better, is to implement the camera more and more puzzling moments. Like that smoke scene, you don't understand how satisfying it is. Someone using a niche technique and to use it for their own advantage to fight an opponent, it's just so good.

At this point this guy could animate a whole avatar movie without people knowing it’s him❤

Love how you weren't biased with any one bending and made them both use their fullest potential as creatively as possible. So awesome!

2:04 this is why it is a good idea to stay away from the ground when fighting an EARTH bender

3:07 thats probably my favourite move

Earth and air are extremely hard counters to each other,Earth is slow to attack but makes up for it by having a strong defense, while air has weak defense but makes up for it in its fast offense

i love the fact that at the end, when the earthbender is thrown into the sky, he can't really defend himself anymore because he's not standing on earth.

All I want in life is for people to make amazing avatar animations just like this Absolutely incredible

I feel that an Airbender with Chi-Blocking would definitely be a potent force to face. I mean, their often pacifist ways would still allow for the disarming of their enemy's bending or physical attacks in general.

Lol i love that he made him patch up his glider at the end

the clip at the end of him fixing the glider is adorable.

2:30 dudeee that was from ang vs ozai battle sence i remembered thaat sick animation dude keep it going

I love the designs of the characters. Some people think that simple characters aren't good, but I love how they look! Now I need to see fire vs. air

love that you incorporated sound into the airbender's attacks, slapping his ears with it

I appreciate that the airbender isn't using long range air-blades to cut stuff. That always seemed quite silly to me when people animate them.

After nearly a year, the legend has returned to bless us with another fantastic animation!

insert overused "and when we needed him most he returned" comment here

Now that earthbender was toph that would have been a COMPLETELY different story

disorienting the earthbender by making the attack block his eardrums was the most aribender accurate thing to do in battle and was therefore so creative!!!! amazing!

I love how you also drew the fighting styles that the element uses. It perfectly replicates what it looks like in the show too!

Impeccable choreography! How's everyone said the sound and the direction of acting an expression all line up perfectly. My favorite part is when you utilize airbending in such a unique way in that close quarter combat that involved smacking those ears to disrupt his balance and hearing. Brilliant!

Thats cute. At the end he makes him fix his ride. Love it.

Incredible animation, as a great many others have already pointed out, but *ALSO* jaw-dropping sound design! Every motion and collision felt so weighty, this was fantastically well made

I like the genuineness of the choreography and simplicity to its concepts of motion I also like the characterization of the air bender and Earth bender in a fight scenario not just so much personality but their weaknesses and strengths in battle

You make one of the best avatar fan animations man. You should give tutorials because I would love to learn how to animate like that. This is a masterpiece!

This is so cool! I really love seeing the masters of the art(both the animation, and the Benders) showing their skills. A good and long bender battle is so cool and airbending is my favorite with fire right after it.

your videos are incredible!! all of them are cinematic masterpieces😭😭 love them all!!

Insane job man, the characterization with such simple designs is mental!

Okay the quality of the animation is stellar, and the soundtrack is amazing, but can we talk real fast about the fighting styles themselves?? Jared's interpretation of offensive airbending techniques is fantastic, and the emphasis on staff fighting was masterful. I caught a few different styles of staff fighting in there but the best shot was the Monkey Staff move where he climbed up the staff and used it as a launching move for that massive sweep downwards was incredibly well-executed. Well done, Jared. Loved it.

Good lord this was such an awesome fight! Please continue making these, your fight choreography is so satisfying and the cinematography is just so dynamic. Absolutely amazing work! :D

Even the first scene of this is fucking brilliant, and IMMEDIATELY answers the question of “Well why couldn’t the airbender just run away?”, as the earthbender starts the conflict by hampering the airbenders fastest mode of escape! Amazing work!

I like that he had to sew up the glider in the end

I literally love everything about this animation man, the style of karate matches the show and it’s done really well. The only thing is at 2:50, when the earthbender took down an entire tower of stone with a simple wave from his left hand. That move was his seemed last resort and he’s exhausted so I feel like if he put a bit more of strength and quickness into that wave then it maybe would’ve felt more realistic. I don’t know why I’m going on about small details but I just kinda noticed that ig 😭. Great animation btw and I hope to see more :)

I literally have no words. Its absoletely beautiful! Keep up the good work!

If that earthbender could bend lava, it wod have been over for the airbender

Я просто не представляю сколько крови, пота, слёз и труда было вложено в это видео, просто великолепно 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

man this is phenomenal!!!! The sfx is insane and i can feel every impact, and i can tell the insane effort going into this, incredible work!!! Same can be said for the fire vs water animation you posted before this one!!!💫💫💫👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝 edit- also would love to know if you have any socials to follow you on!!

That was incredible! I love how you stuck to the qualities of the respective elements; air being fast and agile while earth is slower and stronger

There’s no world we’re a person is surviving a 2 ton boulder flying at them 😭🙏

This was phenomenal. I love it when a fight scene almost feels like it’s own self-contained story, and this very much gave me that feeling. Great job!

Awesome work once again! I can so clearly see all the dedication put into this. On an unrelated note, I'm super happy Air won and I'm honestly quite surprised it wasn't a draw, which is really refreshing. My favorite and least favorite elements against each other, it was all the more satisfying.

That airbenders just made him deaf and blind. Thats why airbenders don't choose to fight, but they can sure finish the fight!

that first hit with the rock uppercutting the air bender was fatality
