I love how Jayce’s fighting style looks less like someone who knows how to fight, and more like someone who knows how to use a hammer
Since when is firing energy bolts a correct way to use a hanmer?
@@frankie3010 your hammer doesn't fire electricity? I thought it was normal
@@frankie3010
I said he knew how to use it. I never said he knew how to use it _correctly_
@@Linosek279 good save...
@@frankie3010 I'm going to make the bold and educated assumption that OP was referring to any time that he DOES use his hammer... and maybe not the parts when it's, y'know, a gun.
"We are scientists not soldiers...Jayce"
*literally a day later*
"Haha Hammer go brrrr"
_Later:_
Jayce: "My day be so fine, then *Boom* Child Murder..."
He said the same thing to vi, he's "not" a vigilante.
JAJAJAJJA
You know the gauntlet and hammer having shields makes sense for protection
What doesn't make sense is the Hanmer doubling as a gun. Why the hell?
@@lukefox718the hammer was made specifically for combat. And was created just prior to the raid.
Jayce:
*invade Zaun
*Kill a kid
*Refuses to ellaborate further
*leaves
Sigma male jayce
alpha male jayce ``even children must not disturb the grind``
He does elaborate tho, straight up has a moral awakening and decides to negotiate with silco for peace.
+5 gold
ellaborates alot*
I love that they had Jayce be conflicted about his killing of the child, immediately after he seems to almost enjoy shooting the "bad guys"
sets up conflict later about actually using his hammer. And, while Vi is right that what they are doing will in the end save more kids than the one that died, it doesn't mean that one kid's death is any less horrific or something to overlook. I'm pleased that Jayce is becoming a more conflicted character rather than just "haha technology go burr!" that he was
How was he enjoying killing?
That's not his character.
@@tousawa808 Maybe not "enjoy" but he definitely gets caught up in the "thrill" of the fight as he starts unloading. It's a massive whiplash when he hits the kid by accident.
@@Sturmensky We call that adrenaline....?
@@tousawa808 There's a difference between that and what we see. Watch his expression.
He's getting more into it than simple adrenaline. But whatever *might* have come of that gets its back broken when he kills the kid.
And the saddest part is that, that kid had a death sentence no matter what
I love how Jayce is in shambles after killing a kid and Vi is just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vi: this is just like a normal Tuesday in zaun 🤣
that's the kid that pressed the alarm right?
@@lIIelIl si
It’s more so that she used it as an opportunity to show Jayce that the issues aren’t as cut and dry as Jayce thought.
It is a philosophical quandry, Jayce has lived a life sheltered from death and suffering and the idea that he was responsible for even one child's death shakes him to his core. What he doesn't see that Vi does however are the structural factors that lead to a hell of a lot more death and suffering than the accidental killing of one kid. "You've gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet" Getting this shimmer off the street, saves lives. Piltovians living in luxury while the people of the Undercity starve, costs lives.
The weight here is so beautifully animated. Throughout the whole series, the actual heaviness of objects and weapons is so amazingly depicted it makes me feel like I’m holding that object in real life. Physics in arcane is so well done.
In-game Jayce tho says fk physics. Tho he's still a newbie here. I'm rlly excited for S2.
I think there isn't anything arcane *didn't* do beautifully.
this is what i like about this show and pacific rim
i'm a huge fan of the speed of the chemtanks
they give off the same vibes as zealots from sc
and that running animation is so crisp
I know right?! the impact frames are amazing and the use of smearframes makes all of the movements super fluid and all of this is eye candy. I could pause it at any moment and it would be the perfect bg
0:22 they straight up killed the camera man, I love that detail
Camera man never die! but this time is soo close!
Oh another camera man joke. 😐
@@strings491 its not a joke this time, watch the scene
@@MrZioCerotto prolly "Hey man! We talked about this. Now I gotta pay for these cameras."
Arcane: the only show brave enough to try and kill the camera man
This is honestly the first time in a long time where a tv show managed to actually have me on the edge of my seat from the amount of sheer excitement
If you play the game it multiplies
@@yeo5962 too bad the game sucks and is catering to 12 year olds
@@Milan-mh4nc I was freaking out when I realized what the chemtanks were, since I main Mundo and it's my favorite item to build on him. Fuck, I love Zaun.
Funny you say that cause when I first watched arcane when this scene came on I was so hyped I stood up from sheer excitement. I don't even play League I just was absorbed in the show lmao.
@@Milan-mh4nc yeah nothing caters to 12 yr old like a game with 200 unique champs each with 5 different abilities that can build tens of items and enhance their abilities with unique runes making millions of combinations possible while simultaneously playing with 4 players in a teamfight with multiple different objectives and cooperation tactics while requiring super quick reflexes and precision...such bullshit can be written by an ignorant person who is acutally mentally on the level of a 12yr old...this game is more complex than 99% of other games and sports
1:41 That part where Vi uses her gauntlets to vault up into the air is BY far my favorite scene, somebody had to think of that, and WOW did it turn out so amazing!
I believe she has an ability like that in the game, where she uses her gauntlet to lunch forward onto an enemy.
@@Flex-x She does have a launch from her gauntlet but not in that motion. It resembles 0:47 more
@@anarma9590 yah ik I just mean that as a bit of a fun fact that she can use the gauntlet to launch her self in game
yeah that was very Yang from Rwby
Looks like it was inspired by Dragon Ball, I'm pretty I've sure seen Tien do a backflip spin to get away before
I swear Vi's wink at Jayce get's me smilling from ear to ear everytime
How can someone be so fricking charismatic ?!?!
Like Vander said, she has a good heart
I'm in love hahahha XD
the writer said it was to make her sassy. yeah shes so freaking cool
@@songainlover SAME
She's got rizz
0:46 that shot still gives me chills ....
Same
Vi jungle gank: successful
She hit her down-smash
I like how Jayce's eyes shine blue from the hextech when he shoots. Like some type of bloodlust.
He looks like Thor there lmao so cool
Ikr? It looks so good.
His glow blue -- theirs glow purple.
Its just yet another side of the same coin.
It’s probably to show how he’s being (if briefly) corrupted by the sheer power of hextech.
I like the part where he's shooting and screaming, it's one of those funny "Damn dude chill" moments
This fight reminded me why Vi and Jayce are champions. Those chemtank soldiers weren’t jokes and both took out several of them, not to mention this isn’t even their prime.
really how much stronger do they get I don't know An insane amount of league of lengends aside from the stuff my brother showed me when he wanted me to check out the game a few years before arcane was even introduced after that I only checked it out so often I never really got a change to play it a lot
@@Existing9078 Well league has a wide spectrum of power in its champions, from star forging cosmic dragons to regular people armed to the teeth.... Vi and jayce are just regular humans armed with hextech weaponry but yeah, between some years of traning and experience with their weapons they will become quite stronger.
those two obviously bought some equipment in the shop after recalling off cam
@@victor882100 not to mention that those atlas gauntlet are prettu much prototypes compared to her actual kit
@@wallyspencer3253 thos atlas gauntlets were made for miners. now imagine Jayce making them gauntlets just for VIolence.
How come I've seen nobody talk about how Jayce literally turns their bones to dust in the little x-ray shots
Literally.
just for mining 🙄
fatality
@@SolitaryAsian yea but still love that "just for mining" line
@@tanhung4991 In all fairness, things that can be used just for mining are often devastating when used to strike humans.
One thing I really, sincerely appreciated about this show was that it didn't pull back from making their characters look manic, crazed or unattractive (in these type of moments). Just look at the whole sequence at 2:10 - Jayce is the traditionally appealing character, and he looks fucking insane and off-putting as he shoots them. Every character has a moment like that, and it's absolutely awesome.
Nice point! Especially when the blue from the hextech bolts reflects in his eyes.
Yess I loved seeing Jayce rage lmao
Makes sense he's jacked up on adrenaline, dudes heart was probably beating at 400 per second
Was just noticing that myself!
Even better than the manic moments are the "Ah, the light is in my eye" moments, when they look unattractive in a funny way.
I would like to point out the difference in power that the hammer and gauntlets have. Vi makes great use out of the gauntlets, but the hammer which, unlike the gauntlets, was designed as a weapon. When Vi punches someone they are down for the count. When Jayce hits someone their bone matter gets reduced to atoms.
Jayce's Gauntlets is made for mining
Sooo it hits hard thats it
While the hammer has hextech power
In the blow
One breaks bones while the other erases bones
1:15 you can literally see the guy's skeleton explode. just absolutely pulverized.
@@crow2596He's BEYOND dead.
1:51 flawless attack pattern
yesss perfect, you can feel the heaviness and strength in the animation
damn you can literally hear her proc her W passive in that sequence
Imagine if this scene continued without cuts for more 10 seconds.
Rolling under the hook made it feep like a real boxing match
*FATALITY*
VI WINS
The way they literally show one of the main characters of the show just blast an innocent kid, than show them ragdoll-fall down to their death and draw their last breath on screen - showcases how this show isn't pulling any punches
I literally can’t think of another show to compare Arcane to. It’s so unique and real and dark and hype it’s insane.
Literally.
Well, it also states that anybody who is a champ from the game will not die. Unless they really do it in season 2.
They pulled the gay romance one. But i guess they want people to have even more reasons to watch season 2 xD
@@YordleQueen Do you ever watch a show name Invincible.🙃🙃🙃
0:57 I love how Jayce nods when he sees Vi's performance with the gauntlets. He's like "Yeah, I gave them to the right person. She wasn't just acting all tough back at the forge."
Everybody talking about the animation, expressions, etc (which are god tier stuff) but the music...... the entire soundtrack is just 100/10
100% agree, shame I can't listen to half of them without crying
@@nikladamond937 huh?
@@MrBacon-ou1kw half of them are sad as fuck, he means. And he’s right
Yeah, Riot's music department is pretty insane.
Nah, i would prefer some extreme metal. Now that would be fun.
With all the amazing sequence, my favorite parts will always be:
1:04 - This is the look of a person ready to fight, who grew up fighting. Nothing to lose, all to gain.
1:12 - This is fear. Fear turning to desperation, turning to anger. The kind of anger you get when you are cornered and you have no choice but to fight.
The animation of emotion is just........*chef's kiss*.
dam i never noticed the contrast in their looks, i only rly paid attention to vi in that specific "prepare to fight" scene. the look on jayce's face says it all for sure
Yeah this is not Vi's first fight or die condition but at the other hand Jayce is having that moment
lol of course she s ready to fight the police records said sje spent the whole time to fck prisoners up in stillwater
The reflections of the shots in Jayce's eyes are my favorite detail.
Damn For real..

URF Jayce
x9 Attack speed Vi
Clearly his W
As someone whose interested into HEMA and polearm fighting I just love how Jayce uses every part of his hammer and not just the blunt top hammer itself. He also uses the staff for parring and the pointy end for also attacking. I know this is a fantasy show (loved the whole series btw)so I'm not expecting any huge or little realism at all and also Jayce isn't an experienced fighter of any kind like Vi , but I love these little details in how the weapon is handled here.
Dude tbh I am so much more impressed by all boxer stuff vi does it’s a beauty to behold. I can’t believe they didn’t use mock-up and just hand animated everything
Little things like this can go a long way
Same, also HEMA, but only German longsword, but have done a bit of spear, exactly. Every part of the weapon counts. Especially the haft, no way he could block all those attacks with just the hammer or even just one end of it.
@@nonenone6704 what is hema?
@@Hargazer Historical European Martial Arts... basically medieval weapon fighting: swords/axes/spears
Vi is the perfect example of how to do the "Bad Girl" character right. She is a badass and can be a hardass, but she isn't insufferably annoying or angsty or preachy.
She is just straight fucking cool. Why is this type of character so hard to pull off?
Because instead of writing a good character, they become a self insert power fantasy
I think its because we have seen how making a female character that fistfights always gets associated with masculine traits, sort of like only males can fight, be hard/badass, In treating these things masculine it carries over to the character's personality. I think that's why they preach so much the character is still a girl
this is why Vi was my fav character because she was paid attention to, she was bad, yet genuine female traits were obvious, you could see a girl in her, a caring one, but she could also punch you in the face and you'd probably die lol
to show how well they balanced this hard vs the soft, look at esp 6 when Woo kid Goodbye plays and Jinx lights the flare, Vi is running thru the streets and she crashes into a guy, she pushes him back and then middle fingers him..a Human response in her emotional state but a more likely male response..but immediately as she saw the flare, you can see her expression changes to fear desperation and care. something that is absent in recent female characters like Vi..Captain Marvel for example.
She has human flaws and that makes her relatable on a base level, but also the context behind her struggles and shortcomings are also powerful in narrative. This is what happens when you focus on writing a good character instead of pandering to a specific archetype that only specific people can enjoy. On that note, I'd also wager that her chemistry with Caitlin felt soooo organic because again the characters relate to each other on REAL human levels. If this was a Disney product their relationship would be watered down to "Oh, we're both girls, and we both like girls? We should both like girls TOGETHER." 🤣
That is the thing, I dont think there is a single weak character in the show, even the smallest characters feel so impactful and real. There is no "I'm evil because Im evil and you are good because you are good", it just feels way more grounded in reality.
committees of market research a holes are the reason
What made this show a masterpiece are the details.Just check the expression of their faces at 0:54-1:00 Look that mimic of Vi and the nod of Jayce. Is so crazy well done
I love this too. That little scene is great. this show did an outstanding job of all of the subtle little interactions between characters and the animation is insane.
this is just one example of like several dozen moments of the show where the animators were flexing so hard with the animations and expressions. And i love it.
@@ZurHorrorzone What makes a show a masterpiece are the small details and all series is full with expressions like its real
Honestly worth the wait. I don't care how long they'll take to make season 2 as long as the quality is tip top like season 1.
Why chemtanks were so fast until they fought main characters?
the way Jayce's hammer is litteraly a bone destroyer, its so satisfying and awesome to watch the bones tearing apart. 1:16
I also love how they showed it shattering someone's knee caps lmao
I used to be an adventurer like you till I took a hammer to the knee 😆
you have a weird sense of satisfying xd
Its just weird and ugly
@@on-line10 How dare you lmfao its amazing
I love how accurate and faithfull to the game they were in that scene, really shows their dedication and attention to detail!
The top laner ( Jayce ) and jungler ( Vi ) effortlessly deal with the chemtank ennemy jungler.
Meanwhile the adc ( Enforcer ) gets one shot with no counterplay.
Truly remarkable!
Love how Top lane is getting bullied and Vi comes in for the gank.
This scene is so unrealistic
It portrays Chemtanks as these super devices that allow you to run like you're Sonic the Hedgehog on cocaine instead of "I jog slightly faster now"
SMH literally unwatchable
@@brunop.8745 If you actually understand where the idea comes from then it isnt. The chemtank item in League only allows you a temporary speed boost from its initial use then you go back to normal speed. So its actually accurate to the Lore of the game.
@@brunop.8745 learn about it before spouting nonsense next time
@@yabigboiiii9703 well i see *someone* here wasn't a Udyr man before and after the chemtank nerfs
I love how the series manages the violence: nothing gore or splatter on screen, but no hesitation to show deaths, even for childrens.
Actions scenes and violence are so well balanced, nothing censored with bad cuts (like Venom, just as example)....you don't see it, but you feel what's happening, and it's so brave in the modern industry, expecially for a product made (also) for youngsters.
A Masterwork in both animation and directing.
This show should absolutely not be watched by "youngsters" it's honestly just super heavy, dark, and mature. If it was on TV, it should probably have a NC-17 rating

@@randomusergd8816 Things like swear words, violence, death, sex and nudity already make it a show not for kids. But the real reason, why this show shouldn't be watched by children, is topics and questions it tackles. Themes of war, class conflict, weaponization of science, psychological trauma, etc. are to complex and mature for children to understand. So, unless you 8 years old brother is a literal prodigy, I doubt that he understood anything in this show, and probably just enjoyed colourful fights.

1:41 man that whole sequence of action from Vi gave me the chills. The flip, snapping those blades, boxing punches, and final punch.... i'm in love
I fucking love the amount of detail put in this show. Take this scene alone. You can see the immense weight of their weapons through their movements. The way Vi carries her gauntlets, or the way Jayce has to put his entire body behind his Hammer in order to move it at a decent enough pace to keep up with the absurdly quick Chemtanks.
Not only that, but their personalities shine through clearly as well. Jayce beeing a bit hesitant and perhaps a bit unsure of himself when he has to go at them alone. Being this is his first real fight for life or death. While the second the confident and headfirst Vi joins him and has his back you can see his confidence get a massive boost. Not only from her presence, knowing she is there with him so he doesn't have to go at it alone. But from her own confident aura as well. She has been in situations like these and it shows here clearly. It helps Jayce out so much. And not only that, you can see other subtle things. Like how even after that confidence boost, it's still Vi who goes in first and Jayce waits a second or so still. This really shows her "punch first, ask questions while punching" mentality from the game. Meanwhile Vi didn't go in straight away as well. And by doing this showing restraint that she picks up from Jayce's calm and collected aura. He uses a far more calculated approach. This really shows both of their own very different personalities, while clearly showing they're complimenting each other's as well.
It's details like this that make a show stand with the greats.
Dato curioso, que no se explicó en la serie: El hextech hace que los materiales se vuelvan 4 veces más livianos, por eso en la segunda pelea entre Vi y Sevika, cuando Sevika le daña el guantelete a Vi, este se vuelve pesado y la hace caer. Y cuando Jayce levanta su martillo sin activarlo le pesa mucho más.

Story and emotional moments are one thing, but watching vi blast the absolute shit out of the first chemtank in time to the music then turn and wink like it was nothing is one of my absolute favorite moments in the entire series.
Lol right? I almost did the Vince McMahon meme sitting there watching it lol
The reflection in jayce's eyes when he's blasting is cherry on top and the game's sfx too.
I think they suggested after he uses his Hex-tech magic too often, one of the side effects will be his eyes will turn permanently blue. Thats why his base skin his eyes are blue when hes older. For now we can just wait and see if they explain it in season 2 Arcane.
I know this isn't funny but when Vi and Jayce got surrounded, I imagined Garen spinning so fast and shouting 'I will not falter' towards those chemtanks

The creators of 'Arcane' really deserve every bit of praise they get.
Geniuses, and to think this is their VERY first show puts every writer out there to shame.
this fight was so fire dude when Vi winks and then the music is like
“AHHHHHHHHH WUAAAAAAHHHHHH” ITS SO HYPE LMAOOOO
i like how it's clear that vi's gloves are a tool and she is doing the heavy lifting when it comes to using then as weapons, but jayce's hammer is an actual weapon and even though he is not an experienced fighter the weapon is doing most of the work
1:42 this left hook -- left uppercut feels good
There's no way they didn't consult a boxing coach or something with Vi's fighting throughout this series, so much of her combat feels like legit boxing
@@josephb5989 They had to… her first fight with Sevika is proof what the writers had been studying when it comes to her unorthodox fighting style… I love it.
That literally Mike Tysons famous 2 piece combo.
Seeing Jayce’s expression after killing a kid reminds me of viktors quotes “We lost ourselves, lost our dream. In the pursuit of great we failed to do good.” “We are scientists, not soldiers”
I just love the colors used for all the tech. We got hextech in piltover blue but then the chemtanks have pink for the shimmer that shows zauns new corruption and green for the violence that always plagued the city.
surprised this aint top comment
One year late but I love how this scene highlights Vi's fighting prowess. Think about it-she's a regular, unenhanced human who just got out of prison, and is likely malnourished because of it. But she's keeping up with human tanks hopped up on shimmer in metal exoskeletons, matching them blow for blow. That's not the gauntlets, that's all her.
Everything about this scene is absolutely masterful. The facial expressions, the sounds of the weapons, the animated effects, the music, the camera work, and the amount of character. One of the Chemtank guys even twitches and jitters after killing the enforcer (0:31); they remind me of Doom Eternal's Dread Knights, the continuous, drugged up rage and twin blades fit so well for guys who signed up to be Silco's minions

And they did the thing real fuckin good
LOVE the fact that they used Vi's ult sound at 1:14
Vi's punching is alway so satisfying
That wink. Best parts are definitely Vi fighting like an anime character with power level over 9000, the hammer overpowering..and the wink
Always love it when Vi does her battle/ war cries like at 1:14
1:50 Yeah you can really feel the amount of passion she pours into her fighting.
And that bzzt sound is actually her ult sound
thats the sound of her ultimate on the game
Remember, Vi's gauntlets, as destructive as they are, were never meant to be weapons. They were made to mine fissures. Jayce's hammer on the other hand was made to be an actual weapon to kill as many people on the battlefield as possible and it shows. Jayce's hammer effortlessly one-hit kills most of the chemtanks while Vi has to do flips and pull off combos to be as effective with her gauntlets.
Which reflects the game because Jayce is a champion i hate going against and want to uninstall
I love this whole fight, because we are slowly getting the hero jayce in lore, he becomes the bad ass vi and cat work along

God I love how different each of their fights feel, similar only in brutality, jayce is fighting like he means to, thinking and calculating every blow when on offence, but really on his back foot for defence, having to use his creativity in combination with his experience with hammers, he’s out of his element but not ineffective, he’s lifted hammers his whole life. Vi on the other hand is completely where she is meant to be, fighting entirely off instinct and learned experience, she’s fought people bigger than her more times than she could count, and you can kinda feel that she is really enjoying the weight of her gauntlets, she’s doing so much damage she almost always keeps pushing advantage, not giving the chem tanks time to react
ohmygod Vi's entrance on this scene always gets me. Her form, the impact, the weight of the gauntlets, everything! ♥️♥️
Lose weight.
Fun Fact: The bone at 1:28 is known as the femur and is one of the strongest bones in the human body. This tells us a lot about Jayce's strength because not only did he just shatter that bone with little to no effort but the guy was wearing heavy armor and was induced with shimmer. Although, this also means that if Vi and Jayce were to fight in the next scene, Vi probably wouldn't have survived considering that she would have insisted on "blocking with her face" and I think Jayce understood that which is probably why he decided not to fight.
Jayces mercurial hammer and Jinxs fishbones are canonically the most powerful weapons in Arcane right now, so yeah it makes sense. I don't think he really wanted to fight Vi though, he was just conflicted because he started to understand the stakes. He is no idiot - deep down, he knew Vi was right.
@@f0xyLuv Kind of silly putting fishbones/pow-pow on the same (implied) level as the (Incredibly OP) mercurial hammer IMO but yes, you are right.
@@Archedgar Fishbones is much stronger than Jayce's hammer bfr
@@ArchedgarWell, a hextech missile is a hextech missile, while pow pow might just be your average minigun (HAH, average minigun...), nobody shot with fishbones's hextech powered missile will have a good time, arguably, they'd have such a bad time that they could prefer being shot by the mercury hammer.
@@agentc7020 Nope. I don't even like nor play Jayce (JG main) but you & others like you are straight-up wrong. Do your thing though, the trash talk of some newblets means nothing to me.
Not gonna lie. Vi's form when she's throwing her punches is one of the best form I've seen.
Jayce on the other hand, is not half bad given this was his first fight using his hammer/crossbow.
that rush from Vi on the last mob is so good. she barely even acknowledges any of his desperate attempts to hit her, just cleanly deflects and dodges
1:14 I love the echo effect added to Vi’s yell, complemented by the ever so brief pause in the music before the first blow is landed. It’s almost similar to the cling of a bell before a boxing match starts.
1:51 I also adore how this shot resembles a sick combo in horizontal fighting game, nicely referencing the medium in which this story began.
its a clue to her ingame W ability where every third hit deals extra damage in a combo... look close and count
This scene is literally show it the difference in technology in Piltover and Zaun. "Normal" weapons not work anymore, need an upgrade. Soldiers was not effective, Vi and Jayce with hextex thec was.
There is a music, called Awaken. There you can see, what upgrade the soldiers got.
As badass as this scene is I love how they depicted Jayce's hesitation, he's never been in a real fight before and you can see it beautifully animated in his expression before he takes that literal first step charging in, whereas VI was born and raised in this shit and has no hesitation just damn perfect 1:12
The way Jayce's expression changes from absolute rage, to fear, then shock, is so well done i can't believe is animated.
The music for this scene is just perfect
Holy shit the whole fight sequence was freaking sick. I got so caught up into it but did you guys see that recovery at 1:40 from Vi?!
I knew when Vi dropped she was the character for me back in 2012. Couple months later i gave up on mobas.It's awesome to see her showing how badass she is in this. Hope she gets in Project L! Vi
i wish i did as you did back then
I would be shocked if she doesn't end up in the fighting game
@@kiwishrew1 Right, knowing that he whole theme is combat
as soon as i saw those xray shots i screamed MORTAL KOMBAT!
Actually, her saying is: Punch first, ask questiong while punching
This scene will never grow old.
Just like that kid.
Can we talk about the running chemtank near the end there? Without the music, that scene is genuinely terrifying.
What song is this tho?
@@KING-ef2wm It’s called Snakes, look up “Snakes arcane” and it’ll come up
What I enjoy so much about this fight is like "oh hell yeah, we're beating the bad guys, we're so badass" and then a kid gets killed, and it's kinda a wakeup call. This isn't a marvel film, it's arcane. There's collateral damage. The heroes fuck up, and there are consequences. Hell, you don't even know who the heroes are by the end of the season, it's so morally ambiguous at that point. Best show in a while for me
The song choice, the animation, the layers of emotions being shown on each character's face, the massive and heavy impacts each attack feels, the combination of colors on each shot. This scene is pure greatness. It's pure fucking hype.
It's always amazing seeing how the animate Vi. They do a good job of her height into account when she's bobbing and weaving under attacks. They always have her really upclose and low in fights. The animators obviously spent a lot of time watching boxing and other combat sports to get her moves down.
1:55 this Scene here the Small charge up and the weight of the punch is So good
Using 3D models with 2D smoke and impact effects gives a feeling so unique and amazing to arcane
I'm surprised by how many reactors expected that Jayce didn't know how to fight. Hope they give him more fighting scene
As someone who play Lol for years, I was actually a bit surprised Jayce could fight here. We're all watching his development and there wasn't a scene before this where he's fighting or training with his hammer. In fact, there wasn't really a fully realized scene with his hammer until now. He also had a stance against fighting and using hextech to create weapons with Viktor. So it's justified for those who never played league to be surprised.
@@astraypersona That is a bit of a plothole now that you mention it. Only a small one though, because while he might not be used to actually... fighting, Jayce would definitely know all about how to swing a hammer.
Not unlike Gendry from Game of Thrones.
@@ooverlord that was my first thought, that hammer swinging was just him working away.
lets be honest, he wasnt really "fighting" here, just swinging his hammer around, he was just getting carried because of the raw power output it can give. the closest things that look like him knowing how to fight are just him barely dodging the blade and him doing that thing where he caught the guy's arm and used the butt of his hammer to hit him. compare this to vi who actually knows how to fight and how to move in a fight, he looks way more rigid and inexperienced
@@grimFOUNDATION And let's put into account that Chemtanks are not good fighters either. We see that Vi is preety easy dealing with them, like with minions, but later Sevika poses almost to much of a challange, while she is using far less chemtech on her. I think Jayce is amateur here, but still a bit more experienced with how to wield a hammer due to his workout routine than Chemtanks, while Vi is basically a pro player here (I wanted to use the word for pro player on low level but I forgot xD)
I love when the animations go from looking like 3D to looking 2D, like when the fire, smoke or energy gets like a solid color, I loved that for some reason
This is my fav type of female character writing, you dont verbalize their identity, you let the character show it through their actions.
Also female characters in animation fighting is 10000% better as they can show flexibility, strength and speed that doesnt look out of place.
Plus they didn't try to make the next Rosie the Riviter. They just made characters.
i still can't believe this was animated by a small french studio nobody heard about before this, these guys have done a work that's absolutely phenomenal
Big respect for the animators ( and the rest of the staff of course )... but omfg this fight is just perfect.
Love how they put gameplay elements in the scene. Just shows that the whole series is derived from a game.
I've watched this scene about 100 times now. The blend of 3D animation with hand painted textures complimented by the 2D Effects. Just absolute perfection!
Are the textures actually hand-painted? That would certainly explain why every motherfucking frame of this show looks like it could go in an art museum.
0:54 I can't tell if that's just a friendly wink or something else...She did call him pretty boy earlier in the episode too.
This along with the Vi's bar brawl really shows how bad a fight between the topside and the under city would go.
Outside of Jynx, Silco lost all of his elite mooks in a day to two teens half assed idea of a raidm
0:52 we all love this moment
1:38 omg what a scene for Jayce Mains
Couldn't believe how dark this show really got at some points. It wasn't at all what I thought it would be, and I'm so glad. Wife and I can't wait for season 2
0:54 that expression makes Vi even hotter
Netflix stop doing your doodoo live action programs and get this banger going full speed for another 10 seasons
0:43 When you're getting bullied top but Vi comes in for the gank:)
VI’S ENTRANCE IS SO HYPE!! I COULD HARDLY CONTAIN MYSELF WHEN SHE WAS SLIDING DOWN THE I-BEAM! THE GLOW OF HER GLOVES, THE SLOWLY ESCALATING MUSIC-!
I need to go do some push ups before I punch a hole through a wall 😂😂
2:09 Love the way he doesn't need his E but the damage is still insane
since this series was in development for 6 years it makes me wonder, where did the concept of chemtank appeared first? in this series or as a s11 item?
i dont read league lore there is a possibility that chemtanks were mantioned in one of bazillion lol stories as well
@@egesisli5694 i don't believe it was ever mentioned in league lore, but chemtech is a huge part of zaun lore and suits that utilize it isn't a very novel idea
Probably the guy in the ekko cinematic trailer back in 2k15 was an early concept
@@Artaniscu how about Urgot?
@@egesisli5694 Chemtech was in the lore for a while now, champions like Urgot, Warwick and Singed have that type of technology, my guess is that they made their final concept and adapt it in the game as an item, but the idea was always there
“For mining”
Dude I can't stop watching this. It's perfection. Bravo, Arcane.
@Mark Ryan Francisco no
@Mark Ryan Francisco league sucks
I love that they put Vi's ulti sound and even the E blast on the third hit
Just noticing the blue light reflecting in Jayce's eyes when he shoots. It looks so cool
An underappreciated aspect of the fight scene and the visual storytelling is the representation of the future of Zaun. Think about it. Everyone one of those chem tanks was a child once. Showing how callously and viciously (but not unjustified) they mow them down only to contrast that with the innocence of a child shows how they are dealing with the results of the issue, but not the cause. That children of Zaun basically have no future, and that killing them once they have gone bad does nothing if you don't try to stop them from going bad in the first place.
0:48 damn i frikking love that shot!!!!!
This has such big BIOSHOCK VIBES! cmon i'm not the only one, or?
i miss Bioshock =(
"it's also a gun," - Jayce
Ok rwby
@@kiteflying9317 Let's be real, many of the weapons here would fit right at home in RWBY. Jayce's hammer isn't that far off from Ruby's sniper/scythe, and Vi's gauntlets are something Yang would 100% use (even if she does lose her ranged options with them)
The animations and graphics are great. But what really sells this scene is the sound affects and soundtrack. The song is the perfect kick ass chew bubble gum, heavy hitter song. While the sound affects are perfection. You can really feel the weight behind every punch and it is oh so satisfying to listen to. Any sound designers watching this should be taking notes.
There's a lot I could say here, about this scene alone.
But I think I'm gonna go with...
this is actually the best show ever made.
