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.

"Uwah!"
Why was this happening again!?
Two days in a row! Two days in a row she'd been on her way home from school, mind on important subjects, and she'd been crashed into suddenly and knocked onto her butt! How was that fair!? How was that right?! Gritting her teeth in anger, Hikari's head snapped up.
"Why don't you wa-"
And in an instant, her anger was suddenly dissipated by something else entirely.
That was the very same chatroom she'd been looking at before. The same channel. Everything. Even if the other girl had snatched it up in an instant, it had been exposed long enough for her to identify it. For a few moments, the small brunette was silent, eyes slowly drifting from the spot the phone had landed on to the girl.
This was the moment to file this knowledge away. Yes indeed, not to say a single thing about it, act as if she didn't see a thing. ... but was that right? They were magical girls after all! She was new, and it was the Hex Night where people were fighting each other and all that, but that didn't mean she had to be secretive... but was it stupid not to be? It might have been, she had to think this thro-
"You're a magical girl too!?"
The words had escaped her mouth even as her mind raced.
"..."
Some part of her had been taken by her excitement at being part of this world of magical girls. And it had slipped out in that instant. Damn it, being put into this situation...! All because someone wasn't watching where they were going again!
The the few moments since she'd asked her question, however...
[Lucky-chan]: You saw them too?
[Tetsu no Kokoro]: I saw them out my window... creepy...
[Koakuma]: What a freak! Peeping on girls like that!

@The 42nd Gecko: That looks good to me, accepted!
@Genon: Well... Sapient undead are incredibly rare, it's almost impossible to actually get one intentionally. Which is why there's not more of them.
Additionally, necromancy is considered an abomination by the church(at least, the raising the dead type. There's some offshoots of it that have medicinal uses and communing with spirits of the dead isn't viewed poorly), so someone who could even attempt it just being around for the king to ask it of them is pretty much impossible. Let alone the king asking them to begin with.

@Ammokkx: Naoko's wandering around, there's a few other NPCs that exist but are currently inactive(I could even just post sketches of them and have you pick the one you like the most at that rate).
Hikari's nearby, still, as well, if that helps.

"That's exactly it," Chise responded, with a small nod. The brightly-smiling Hina nodded as well.
"... Wait wait, you do go to our school!?" Hina asked, suddenly, rounding on Hanako as she did. It seemed as if Himeko's mild teasing had managed to convince her that Hanako had been disingenuous about her age the previous night. Not that it took a lot of effort to convince her of such a thing, and at least Chise seemed more dubious about the matter, instead giving her friend a bit of a look before focusing on the task at hand.
Chise had planned ahead considerably more, for that matter. If Himeko was a magical girl... hadn't Hanako offered an alliance? In that case, couldn't she be expected to either stay back, or perhaps join in, if they ended up fighting Himeko? The miko was an older girl, and probably knew her powers pretty well(if she was a magical girl) which made her pretty dangerous. Of course, that relied on her getting her powers earlier in life and not recently, but... well... there was a lot of moving parts, okay? The point was Chise had a plan, and it was a plan she felt pretty confident in!
But they first had to determine if Himeko was a magical girl in the first place, and either get somewhere secluded or stall until it got darker out.
The black-haired little girl glanced wistfully at the sweets shop. ... Maybe getting somewhere more secluded could wait.
"First..." she paused for a moment, then got a piece of paper out of her backpack. On it, in quite neat scripture, was a set of questions. She had to make it convincing, after all!
"... What was it like growing up as a miko?"

@LuckyBlackCat: Missed mentioning you, sorry!
@Raineh Daze, @RolePlayerRoxas: You scene can continue as it is, a little retconning means it can be taking place currently rather than during the school day.

"... So... she was that strong?" Hikari asked, shifting awkwardly as she did. She didn't really know how this stuff worked, but the oni girl had seemed pretty strong, even if she'd ended up running off. It wasn't like that didn't make sense, given she was using an oni as her power source. Though, was that her Concept or her Archetype? The small brunette wasn't certain. It sounded like it was something that could be either, based on what Tokiko had said about them.
In any case, the rest of the conversation went smoothly. As did the rest of the school day, as expected nothing much particularly happened while she was in class. The Hex Night was meant to be a secret, after all, so there was no way a magical girl could ever start a fight in broad daylight without facing the consequences.
Soon enough, it was over.
It was still quite light out when Hikari left school, perhaps a little faster then usual. As soon as she had finished her duties as class rep, she was gone as quickly as she was able.
She still didn't know her archetype. The fireworks made her think her concept was either Festivals... or Fireworks, with the former seeming more likely, but her archetype... was there a hammer related to that? Besides, she had to train more too, didn't she?
At the very least, Hikari knew she had to stop someone like that Kagami from being able to claim whatever wish she wanted.
The people who appeared next, now that school was out, were likely the last people that Hanako wanted to see at the moment. The honey-colored side-ponytail and the long black hair would be immediately familiar to her, given she had seen them just the previous night. This time, however, both of the little girls were clad in school uniforms, given that class had just let out.
"If you eat too much sweets, won't you get too soft?!" Hina could be heard crying out, as if she had absolutely no ability to control her own volume.
There were a few moments of silence on Chise's part.
"... No," she said, finally. It was the kind of tone that indicated that Chise had absolutely no conviction in her answer and did not, in fact, want to get 'too soft', but the allure of sweets was far too tempting. It seemed they had been going to the same shop as Hanako and Himeko, as well... it was only a moment before both of the girls noticed.
"Oh, Chise-chan, it's the girl from the shrine!" cried Hina, immediately turning to face Hanako. Chise turned, as well.
"... She's a miko-san too?" she asked, cocking her head slightly. But more notably, both of them had their eyes on Himeko as they approached...
"My name is Fujikawa Chise," Chise introduced herself.
"And I'm Hina! Minami Hina!" declared Hina, "We were doing... um... what was it again..."
"It's a school project," Chise reminded her, with a small sigh.
"A SCHOOL PROJECT ABOUT SHRINES!"

Saber - Benienma
In the scant seconds after Benienma had shouted her orders, Hijikata appeared to have snapped out of his Mad Enhancement. But rather then surrender, he instead immediately raised his rifle and opened fire!
The redheaded girl tensed, ready to evade, but realization soon struck that he hadn't aimed for her. No, instead, his rifle had fired upon a fire escape hanging above the heads of a crowd that had built up nearby to watch the fight. She hardly blamed the civilians, a clash between Servants even in a city of Servants was impossible to ignore. But their lives had been placed in immediate danger...! Hand still placed upon her blade, the small enma took a deep breath as she bent low. The safety of the innocent people nearby was the most important thing!
With a sound much like the gunshot that had been fired, Benienma rocketed across the distance between herself and the falling fire escape! It had barely begun to descend when she reached it, drawing her blade in a flash. The katana struck once, splitting the metal structure in two, and the enma's platform geta clacked again as she pushed off the opposite building. This time...!
It was impossible for a bystander to perceive what actions took place. Benienma's blade was drawn and flashed again and again and again, cleaving the air over and over before an observer could even blink. By the time her katana was sheathed, the fire escape had been reduced to harmless, tiny chunks, with very little momentum behind them.

Mihama Nanako
It took a moment for Nanako to even realize what had happened. The sleep deprivation, the horrible realization that the construction workers had been eaten, she barely understood what had occurred, mind unable to even parse Meltryllis's words for a few moments. What she did realize, however, is that she had been attacked. That crossbow bolts had rained down towards her in her stunned state, and it was the Alter Ego's efforts that had prevented her from being riddled with them and dying.
And then the Servant was off.
The sight Meltryllis arrived at was indeed, finally, the attacker. Like the Berserker, his form was cloaked in shadow. He had a hood up, and a face that almost seemed to be nothing but inky blackness, features almost entirely nonexistent. Whatever thought processes were behind that darkness clearly hadn't expected to be directly attacked so swiftly, even as the Shadow Archer brought his crossbow up to bear.
But it was clear that the advantage was now held by Meltryllis. It was over quite swiftly, the Shadowy figure bleeding crimson after having been slammed to the ground, without making so much as a single sound.

The Hospital
Kiara delayed for a few moments, until Mary had fallen asleep after a brief greeting. It appeared it wasn't a subject she thought best to discuss while the girl was awake. Once she was taking a nap, however...
"Saikawa-san had been visiting me for emotional counseling," she explained, "I offer my services to anyone suffering from day-to-day stress and other similar problems. I'm hesitant to reveal any further details, as I feel that would be betraying Saikawa-san's trust. But I'd spoken to her many times before now, and she is quite a lovely, sweet girl I am happy to have met."
The nun paused for a few moments.
"... What happened? I know she was shot, but..." Kiara frowned, glancing back towards the bed, and the girl's sleeping figure, "... It's hard to imagine why... was it an out of control Servant...?"
@RolePlayerRoxas@PKMNB0Y
The Arena
"Ah!"
Bradamante was unable to react swiftly. In spite of the speed of her advance, she was still take off-guard by quite how quickly that sword moved and took her spear with it. Realizing quite swiftly that it was a bad idea to be as close as she was while left completely open in such a manner, the blonde-haired paladin of Charlemagne leaped back, taking a more defensive stance for the moment.
"... To be expected of the Knight of the Lake," she said, finally. The comment she'd intended to sound respectful instead was marred by a voice jittering with excitement and uncertainty. To actually be fighting one of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot no less... It was still almost too much for her.
