Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Estelle Varianbec


Many things had happened at once. The enemy Master had fled, a tree had been thrown at the family, and then it was suddenly off-course, with Lancer deflecting it further. Estelle's body had tensed the moment she saw the tree hurtle through the air, but now she relaxed. It wasn't as if she had cared what happened to the family, of course. Rather she had simply concluded that killing all of them would be too noticeable, and altering their memories was was the more subtle way to go about it. Naturally. There was no other thoughts in her mind. She was a homunculus created for this purpose, of course she wasn't worried about the fate of this random family. Anyone insisting otherwise would be an absolute fool.

An absolute fool!

"Lancer, bring them here, so I can alter their memories."

Saber, Mordred Pendragon


Saber, frankly, had been displaying a complete lack of patience leading up to the meeting. For most of the day, she'd been asking when they were going to get going already, and complaining about how long the wait felt. Sure, she had only been summoned for about a day, but that felt like it was taking way too long already!

At least in her mind, she couldn't be blamed for feeling that way. While her Master seemed pretty easygoing and let her more or less do whatever she wanted, thing were pretty slow. No fighting, nothing like that at all! Sure she was going to get to pick out her own clothing and buy snacks and all all, but Mordred was eager to get down to business first, then play around afterwards. Not to say that the red knight didn't want to get the chance to play around, but rather that she wanted to get started before doing so. To get her chance to take her rightful place as the true and proper heir to King Arthur.

It was what she desired above everything else, after all.

On top of that, she had to confess to feeling some level of curiosity about the other servants that had been summoned by 'her side'. Just who was going to be fighting alongside her? And, naturally, paling in comparison to her incredible capabilities and knightliness. There was no denying she was going to be the best Servant among the seven that would be fighting together, after all. She didn't even need to see who her allies were. After all, she was Mordred, the one and only!

The strongest knight, the one and only heir of Arthur Pendragon... All around someone who deserved to be thought of as the best, to put it simply. And she finally wasn't going to feel so bored, too.

When she arrived at the doorway, the knight's helmet was retracted, exposing her face and wild blonde hair. Any opportunity to go without it was one she would take.

"Yo," Mordred began, waving as she glanced around the room. "Saber here!"

She quickly took stock of the other Servants. Caster was a pink-haired girl with wings and Archer-...

Archer was someone she knew very well.

Archer was Sir Tristan.

"Tristan?!" she exclaimed, "Is that really you, you luckless bastard? Hahaha! To think we'd be summoned to fight on the same side, huh? Is this some kinda joke?"

Saber honestly couldn't believe her eyes. One of the other knights, Tristan of all people, had been summoned here? She couldn't decide how to feel. Pissed off, or laughing like crazy?

She decided for the middle ground of amused, but also kind of ticked.

"Y'know, being surrounded by all these ladies who aren't gonna give a rat's ass about you, that's a different kind shitty luck with women, right?" she asked, cocking her head to one side and gesturing to the female Servants and Masters, "Or can you even notice that when you never open your damn eyes?"

Caster


"I won't complain about the lack of trust, though it does hurt me to know that such a wonderful man like Siegfried sees me in such a light~" Skuld replied, with a giggle. It wasn't unexpected, if she was being honest. She knew what to be prepared for when she introduced herself via her true name. Her legend, after all, was one fraught with treachery. However, the small half-elven girl had no reason for treating anywhere here in such a cruel manner. No, what she sought would likely be in their best interests, or at least that was how she saw it. If they agreed... well, that was up to them.

"As for the corruption of a Servant's Saint Graph... hmm," Caster mused, one hand to her chin as she thought it over. That seemed to be a very difficult goal to achieve. Certainly, it was possible to manipulate others and make them perform wicked actions through honeyed words. But even Skuld would acknowledge such a thing didn't work on everyone, and that was a world of difference away from warping a Servant's very being, blackening their existence entirely. "I'm afraid I haven't ever heard of such a thing. It would require a massive outpouring of curses and evil, something that could consume them utterly in darkness."

She shrugged.

"No matter what I do, I could never produce such a sheer amount of corruption~" Skuld added, "... Not that I'd want to. It sounds boring, it's much more fun to tease pure heroes then blackened villains~"

@RolePlayerRoxas: You need to post next!
Things had not gone as she had expected. The catalyst she had obtained, one left to her by her family, one prepared for the day where she may enter a Holy Grail War, had been intended to summon the legendary Sakata Kintoki, a powerful Servant who qualified for the class of Berserker, among others. It was purportedly a fragment of something that had once belonged to him, a shard of metal that could call him to her side in order to fight for her. To be honest, Miyako hadn't been certain how to feel about this. Was it really her right to enforce service on a figure from legend? But she had brushed aside her concerns when she performed the ritual. This was her duty, to her allies in the Tohsaka family.

And yet...

The Servant she had summoned was most certainly not Sakata Kintoki. No, she had been taken aback by the appearance of... well, a beautiful young girl, not much different from herself in age, with the horns of a dragon. Needless to say, her initial reaction had been one of shock and confusion. Why was it that she had summoned someone completely different from her intent? It was only after she learned who her Servant was that she realized what the fragment of metal's true nature was.

A melted shard of a long-destroyed bell.

The one she had summoned was Kiyohime, the maiden whose lovesickness and sorrow had caused her to become a dragon, who slew the object of her affections by burning him alive inside a bell and then took her own life. For a moment, she had become afraid. A Servant with a nature like that... she sounded as if she would be nearly uncontrollable. However, over the course of the day leading up to the meeting with the Tohsaka head, she had discovered that Berserker seemed to do... relatively little that was threatening. She even volunteered to cook for Miyako, and as long as she was treated nicely...

Maybe this would work out just fine?

Regardless, she had a duty to fulfill, and so with her Servant in tow Miyako made her way to the Tohsaka estate. To be frank, she was curious about who else had been summoned...

When she arrived...

"Hello? ah, I am the representative of the Tachibana family, Tachibana Miyako," she began, bowing, "I have summoned Servant Berserker."
I'll post for Miyako today, hopefully!
Everything was suddenly happening very fast. The dragon child had transitioned into her draconic form, unexpectedly for someone so young, and thrown herself into the attacking goblins. The man, as well, had used his strange instrument to induce some sort of magical effect on the goblins as well. There was no real time to contemplate what this meant, or what it would cause. What Ange knew was simply that the horde had been disrupted.

"Knights, attack at will!" she declared, drawing her sword, as the contingent behind her drew their weapons as well. The thin, silvery blade of her weapon gleamed in the sunlight as she raised the tip towards the green-skinned beasts.

There was a ringing sound, as what looked almost like a miniature star traveled up the length of her sword. She shut her eyes and focused for a moment, her mind centered squarely on her duty to protect the people of this land and destroy evil.

When she opened her eyes, to observes it would seem like she suddenly vanished, only to reappear just before the goblin swarm. Seconds later, the backdraft from her sudden movement struck, a burst of air rushing through the grass. Her blade thrust forward in a flash, skewering one goblin and slicing it apart before she moved to the next, cutting it in half. Her movements, to anyone watching, were made with blinding speed. Goblins were hewn apart left and right, or skewered on the tip of her blade in a flash.

This was what it meant to be in training to become a Sword Saint.
Saber


"... That..." Arturia sighed. Why was the matters of... body shape even being discussed? It wasn't important at all. It meant nothing to their capabilities. More concerning, however, was the look that Lancer gave towards the youths nearby... Needless to say, that was something that needed to swiftly be addressed.

"We... should get a meal, indeed," she said, gesturing towards the stands in the middle of the town. After all, there were a variety of different foods on display. From fresh fish to what looked like freshly-hunted deer... surely, if they were offered enough, the people behind the stands would be willing to prepare something for them, would they not? It made sense to the blonde knight, at the very least... and she didn't trust that look that Lancer had in her eyes when she was looking at the those people... She paused for a few moments before approaching them. "Perhaps we should focus on that?"

Lancer seemed like she wanted to be helpful, at least, Saber couldn't be certain how to handle her...
Saber


"Very well, Master."

It was easy to understand what her Lord's ploy was. To depart quickly, and lead the enemy out of the restaurant and to a location where they could conduct battle. As a result, when Isabelle rose to her feet, so to did Saber, stretching as she did. Of course, she didn't actually need to. Rather, it was cover for her to cast a very brief glance around the room without moving her head, her crimson eyes briefly flicking around the room to see if she could see anything suspicious. She had to avoid being too obvious, or else her Master's plan would become apparent. Regardless, she was soon following the nun.

The white-haired girl was prepared to draw her blade and protect her Master at a moment's notice, certainly. If the enemy tried to attack them as soon as possible, she felt confident enough in her ability to react before any harm came to Isabelle.

Mordred


"Haaah, that meeting was a drag," complained Mordred, hands in her pockets as she strolled down the street. At the moment, she was in the need for some breakfast. Something that didn't include talking to some shorty with a marshmallow floating behind her and a lady who had way too much in common with a cow. If anything important came of that meeting, she knew she'd hear about it later. So there was no reason for her to hang around and be bored out of her skull, now, was there?

There really wasn't.

Scanning the streets, she noticed a convenience store ahead, and strolled in to push the door open. Yeah... the blonde knight needed some breakfast. After a moment, she snatched a candy bar off the shelves and walked up to the counter, slamming the required yen down. Before the clerk could say anything, Mordred had opened the candy bar and walked out, chowing down. Yeah... this was an easy breakfast, right? She left the surprised clerk long behind as she headed back out onto the street.

Haah... what was she going to do today, then?

Konpaku Youmu


The entire meeting after one of the people on the other end had insulted her and more importantly Yuyuko-sama and stormed out had felt sour to the small half-phantom. Still, she couldn't deny that going out to eat sounded appealing... though she was more then a little worried about what Yuyuko-sama would be ordering. And indeed, Youmu's concerns were almost immediately brought into reality when they sat down and looked at the menus.

"Eh-heh, Yuyuko-sama..." Youmu sighed. All of them? Yuyuko-sama wanted to order one of everything? ... It wasn't even surprising, really... it was nice getting eat with her regardless. "I guess I'm not surprised at all."

Some small part of her had always wondered if certain features of Yuyuko were influenced by the amount of food that she ate. The rest of Youmu blushed whenever that thought came to her mind and tried not to think about that any longer. As she looked over the menu, however, the small white-haired girl was quickly overwhelmed. There were... many options. And she didn't recognize any of them. Some of them looked a little like foods she was more familiar with... except they had many ingredients she didn't know much about, and names she didn't recognize.

"... E-er..."

Finally, she pointed at something creamy, with a poached egg and pieces of what she guessed were some kind of pork-based product in it.

"... This?"
