If this has been done so sorry but I wanted to shout out to Faith. I was thinking about some of the best fights and a lot of them have Faith in my mind.

I enjoy her fighting with Buffy it is so interesting to watch both slayers both different approaches.
Next would be her and Angelus her fight with him in season 4 is the most memorable to me.

So this got me thinking Faith gets in on a lot of the good fights, which are your favorite of her. Do you think her fights are some of the most memorable?
 
Buffy and Faith's fights were fascinating. I'd argue there fights were the best seen on the show. The technique, the action, the verbal sparring, just brillant to watch.

Oh I know I always look forward to their big fight in season 3 especially how they antagonize each other and the wit lol it is bloody brilliant as Spike would say. Plus I always get a kick out of Faith calling Buffy "B".
 
Faith's fight with Angel in "Five by Five" was by far my favorite of both series. It was so passionate and raw, and then Faith's breakdown at the end. That will always be my favorite. But yes, Faith's fights always were interesting and her battle with Buffy in season three was pretty epic in itself, for the show. 🙂

Oh, almost forgot! Faith kicked serious butt in "Chosen"! She had like six ubervamps pinning her down and right when you think she is a goner, she does what she does best! Kicks the ubercrap out of em! 😀

One of the best moments and yes the breakdown that is a fight and a very good and true moment.
I always look forward to her fights! For a while she was the only reason I would watch the show, because Buffy was really annoying me lol
 
Well I tend to think Faith is overrated a lot of the time, so I tend to think most of her fights were a tad overrated as well.

I love the Season 3 fights with Buffy though. They were amazingly choreographed, with witty dialogue and the camera work is great. One of my favourite fights in the Buffyverse is definitely the Graduation Day Buffy/Faith fight. I remember the first time I watched it I was bouncing around with the glee of it!

The rest of the fights are good, but a lot of them don't stand up against other fights from the series that I love. Dark Willow/Buffy was awesome. Angelus/Buffy was mind-blowing. And who doesn't love the fight scene in The Gift?
 
Certainly, the fight between Faith and Buffy in Faith's apartment was awesome, but to me, the best two fights that she ever participated in were the fights with the Beast in Season 4 of "Angel," and the fight with Spike in "Empty Places." The totally lost the first one (in her defense, I have no doubt that Buffy would have done the same) and she made exactly the same mistake fighting Spike that Buffy did in "School Hard." She completely underestimated just what a powerful fighter Spike was, though she should have had at least a fair warning of that from their confrontation in "Dirty Girls."

In Faith's defense, she was obviously out of training after spending time in prison, where the most formidable thing that she ever had to handle was an overweight inmate with a fancy dagger. A few more months to get back in shape, and she almost certainly would have given a better showing of herself.

Oh yes the beast on is great. I am going to be honest I was scared for the AI team during that one. That is the only one where I thought wow Angel may loose.

Well, I guess in a way they did. Jasmine and The Beast easily did the worst damage of any Big Bad (arguably in the entire Buffyverse). They lost Cordelia, Connor and Lilah. Two of which were the most important people in Angel's life at the time. Through The Beast Angel also lost himself in a way, and in turn, lost AI. You could also say that due to The Beast being the reason for Angelus's return it was the reason that Fred and Gunn broke up. So really - no fun times for any of the gang. The death of Cordelia, Connor and Lilah though - definitely puts AI on the lose side of the coin.

Very true
Hands down the Buffy/Faith fight from Graduation day and the Faith/Angel fight in Five by Five. Both of those were intense, awesome and beautifully choreographed and makes me rewind just so I can watch them again.

I really enjoy most of Faith's fight though, she's so... unbridled in her rage. It's fascinating to watch.

I just love watching Faith. Big fan of Eliza!!! My favourite has gotta be her fight with 'B' in Graduation Day!
 
It's hard to choose between the fight in Graduation and in Release. But I'll go with Graduation because I'm a Fuffy shipper. And two Slayers fighting is more interesting. They're supposed on the same side, lol.
 
As much as I love Buffy as a character, there is something about the way Faith fights that makes me watch certain episodes again and again! I just LOVE her fight against the Beast.Let's keep in mind that she has been "out of business" for 3 years. And yet she still manages to fight. In Release I love her even more. She knew somehow that Angelus would try to turn her and she proved to be smarter than him! And I always enjoy the fight between the two slayers in Graduation Day pt1. And finally, "Chosen"...the moment she grabs the Scythe, I don't know, it's so cool!!! It's like Buffy making her a leader because she thinks she is unable to fight now!

You can really tell she loves to fight/hit/violence, it's a rush to her. For Buffy too, Faith told her that she does love to fight. But they see it really differently. Maybe because Buffy is the good girl, the good Slayer, and Faith is the bad one. Maybe that's why Buffy didn't admit in the beginning that she loves it too. They're both very strong, so a combat between the too is an eye catcher. I don't really like Faith, and yes, I think she's a bit overated. But just a bit. I think their inner selves are very different from each other. It's like, each one is fighting for their own reason. And I don't mean just the fighting vampires thing, or evil fighting (Faith), or for the greater good or bad. They see the fighting thing differently from each other, and it shows on the surface. Did I make any sense?
 
Oooh! There was plenty of great fighting scenes involving Faith. But most of the time she either lost or just didn't PLAN on winning. As an example the Angel/Faith fight in Five by Five... That was awesome and I love the end but she didn't plan on killing Angel, she just wanted to die. Then you got her fight against Angelus in Release, which was pretty good. But again she wanted to lose so he actually bites her 😀 Tricky Faithy! Fuffy fights obviously were hot and neat too 😉 I like the one in Revelations!

And finally... even though she get her ass kicked, her fight against the Beast was cool.

In conclusion I think i'd pick the Five by Five as my favorite, just because there was so much emotion in it.
