A lot of people noticed bits of choreography and camera work from "Ryan vs Brandon" and they are right! This fan-film was made as a homage to oldschool LCC and SaberComp videos with guys in modern clothes fighting on parking lots :) Ryan him self was a judge on SaberComp 2022 and he liked our love letter to him. We at Hilt academy always make our own stuff. This one was intentionally filled with references in camera work and choreography bits. Thanks for watching!

I have never seen someone wield a saberstaff so gracefully in my life. This is so good.

Well done!! This was fun to watch and visually is awesome. My only nit pick is that you can see that there is no “danger” in this duel. The choreography seemed to be put together around flurries and showmanship rather than two combatants at tempting to gain an advantage and strike their opponent. I look forward to seeing more in the future.

WAY better than everything seen in the Sequel Trilogy !!!!!

So Ivan (Blue) was very aggressive in his fighting, I was expecting his saber to turn purple during the fight from channeling his inner dark side. Great battle.

I like the omage to Ryan VS Brandon/Dorkman. The subtle references-The colors of the lightsabers, Blue for Ryan, Red for Brandon, and yellow for Dorkman, and also the reference to RVD 1, having the guy with the blue lightsaber get cut in the same spot as Ryan. And the not-so-subtle references, like the sneaky second lightsaber and changing to a double lightsaber mid-fight. Overall, it is also creative in it's own respect, separating it from Ryan Wieber's duels. Great work, Tyumen Saberfighting Academy!

I can totally see the RvB2 points of inspiration, while you still make it your own. Most of the choreography is really great! I especially love your rapid-fire up-close bits. there are a handful of moments where it feels super slow but they are the exception, not the rule. cant wait to see the full piece!

This was better than 90% of the fights in the movies

I love the subtle callbacks to duels from the movies. I saw one that looked like it might have been from Phantom Menace, then Revenge of the Sith...excellent choreography and editing. Also love that The Force isn't really present in this duel. It's just people with lightsabers duking it out in style.

They truly make it look like it is a LIGHT saber, weightless. Well done!

I appreciate that they choreographed references to Ryan VS Brandon 2 while still very much doing their own thing. This is very well done.

The exchange right after he cuts the “jedis” double bladed in half was insane

Okay, no one said a single word and I am beyond invested in this. I would love to see more! The staff work was stunning and you could feel they were once close far better than the duel of brothers between Obi and Ani. Superb work.

A far greater lightsaber duel than ANYTHING in the new trilogy...

i like the twist where the good guy is the one being aggressive and whatnot rather than the bad guy

love that use of the factory fight music from matrix resurrections

Always a pleasure to see your work from your first "unfinished" entry :D This one keep pushing you up, great job !

I love the closeup of the dual blade being locked into one staff - it's always the little things for me.

Wow.... I mean the level of swordsmanship here is... impressive to say the least. Just fantastic. The Darksynth/Electro thrown in toward the end may not fit the SW theme but it was certainly a nice touch. Well done dude.

made with no budget but still a better choreographed scene than the throne room fight from TLJ

Can I just say, aside from the awesome choreography, I appreciate how you got the colors of the sabers just right. Often they'll be too red or the wrong shade of blue, etc. This is pretty much exactly what I think they should look like. Edit: I also appreciate that the guy who sticks to just the single saber style is the most skilled, as opposed to the guy who tries to pull the double saber gimmick.

Amazing! You guys are crazy! Ambitious length and awesome quality throughout. Keep it up!

Damn dude that is awesome! Definitely my favorite thing you’ve made. Great work :)

amazing fight and choreography, one thing i will say though that's pretty interesting, its interesting how the Jedi is the one playing tricks and attempting to fight dirty and the Sith is patient and fights honourably.

Can't wait for this. I love a good lightsaber duel

This is amazing, beautiful choreography, amazing editing, it just is the best.

simply amazing!!

That was AWESOME!!!! Well done.

Wow! That was amazing!

Looks awesome! Choreography is on point

Congratulations on 2nd place, this was quite a competition

ooo this was really cool, i loved the shot where you could see the light sabers in their eyes ^^ very graceful and dramatic video

I want to see a part 2. Amazing!

I just love how well the style of the person wielding the red lightsaber is done. Combining that with the very fast paced person with the blue saber and it makes for a visually stunning battle. Each little parry and block, you get the feeling these two have some kind of history and that maybe the red lightsaber guy has learnt that being a bit more measured and controlled (and solely practicing discipline with 1 lightsaber) can actually help him beat his opponent. Very talented actors and the clash of styles works beautifully - can’t wait for the sequel 👍

You're an absolute Chad with the staff. It's hard to make that look so good.

This felt more like a dance than an actual fight. Impressive nonetheless.

Dope choreography as always !

Way to dual wield without taking advantage of any of the benefits of dual wielding. With two weapons, the biggest advantages are: You can attack faster by swinging one forward while the other weapon is still recovering, works best if the attacks come from different directions and/or have different targets You can attack two locations at once so the enemy can't block both, ideally you want to swing for the head and the feet at the same time Or you can attack while still having a weapon in reserve for defense He pretty much exclusively attacked with both weapons and kept his weapons close enough to each other that his opponent could block both, completely negating all three of those advantages

Gold saber automatically means she's probably one of the greatest duelists, because that color crystal tends to gravitate towards those with intense martial talent, such as the Temple Guard. So you know she means business.

dude with the beard should be part of a reenactment of Obi-Wan vs Maul and Savage. the hair drop at 4:12 and 4:15 made me think of when Obi-Wan kept focusing Savage's knee.

40k views! OMG! Thank u so much!!! So much more to come!

You guys are truly awesome

Well done!! Loved it!!

I admire and respect your work here, choreography is amazing and all of you are crazy talented! Best wishes from Poland, keep it out there fans :)

Loved this!!

Well performed. And I love the added matrix soundtrack

AMAZING - two (youtube) guys in a parking garage produced a video that is 5x more entertaining than Disney / K.Kennedy ever did with STAR WARS - AMAZING

Well done. Well done indeed. RESPECT

Was good. Can't wait to see the gold saber battle

That was such an amazing fight.

Really good work!

Awesome !

Hmmmm...no dialog but STILL better, more riveting than all 3 sequels combined...bravo!

This fight is 🔥🔥🔥🖤

Great job! Nice one 👍🏽.

Incredible skill and choreography! It’s like lightsaber forms Ataru vs Soresu.

That yellow/gold light saber was freaking awesome

The new jedi survivor graphics look great

My man with the blue saber tho!!!! Killed it!

Brilliant... i have no other words

Very well done!

Great Job guys. Love the coloring. Great sound. My personal prefrence is shorter fights. I would definetly love to know how ya guys filmed and edit. Great work

BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!

Awesome 👌

Замечательная работа)

Wow.😲 This was very interesting. Good vid, I just subbed. 😊👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

i NEEEEEEEEEED a part 2 to this T_T

Legendary battle.

Sooooooo kewl!!!

That was great :)

Wow , they saved the awesome 2nd half for last. These guys MUST study Kenjutsu or are the most dedicated LARP layers to ever exist. Obi Wan vs. Darth Maul eat your hearts out.

YO. SMOOTHEST DUEL I EVER DONE DIDDLY DARN DID SEE

we need a sequel!!

Epic!

Wow, what a cool intro before the movie even starts!

this battle was well done! and when the girl showed i was like DAAAAAAAMN!!!! LOL

WOW! Any other duels/opponents with different sabers?

I'm such a geek...that's badass

Wtf 😂😂😂 this is amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾

Impressive... Most Impressive.

Well done it’s an action packed Duel. I wonder if anyone was in the garage in the car or walking around and wondered what the heck was going on? Good visual, and sound effects also. As I look at it, and actually reminds me of the Mustafar battle. May the force be with you.

Love it! Want to see a Shadavercity breakdown lol

That type of yellow is my favorite

Eeeepiiiicoooo 🤩🤩👍

More, please!!!

BADASS!

Nice; very fluid.

Very nice duel.

That was about as positively delightful as you can do it without being crazy about martial weapon training. One thing that bugged me ever so slightly though - I kept recieving the "young Palatine" wibes from the "jedi" guy with his cocky demeanor and barely contained agression, all the while the supposed "sith" remained calm and collected... Serene even, almost as if having to own through the fight as a part of a meditation session. Well done anyway.

Disney should take notes!

Can somebody hire these two guys to be in a Star Wars movie, please!!

It’s like watching Ryan vs Dorkman 2 all over again.

Pretty good moves, but there's no heat in this.

dang this was epic

3:50 Oh! That sequence is worthy of beating out many a duel-official or fan-made.

This is really cool I have a Twist Saber as well.

Saw Ryan VS Brandon 2 for a minute there 😂❤ Had me like "Where have i seen that pose, that smile from--Oooooh!!"

It has angles of RVB2. An incredible homage and very well done.

What saber company do you recommend for dueling?

Огонь!
