Fun fact, this video actually predates the coining of that name, Trakata*. The RPG that coined that name actually was only released shortly before I made this comment. It's also a wild experience to have someone reply to your youtube comment 15 years later.
I've ALWAYS loved this lightsaber duel as a kid. It was the FIRST lightsaber duel that was ever to be put on CZcams in my opinion, and it's one of my FAVORITES! This is a youtube classic guys, you will enjoy it! :D
Your films are a major inspiration for my entire career on youtube and will always respect you’re ambition. Travis , Ryan, dork man, Brandon, all of you are so big and responsible for the pillars of early youtube! Thank you so much
16 years later and this is still the best lightsaber duel on CZcams. Great job Ryan, Brandon, Dorkman, and everyone else who works on these. I will always be waiting patiently for a new duel. May the force be with you all.
I remember watching Ryan VS Dorkman for the first time years ago with my cousin. He asked me who I thought would win, and I said the guy in the blue shirt. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I finally found it. I remembered this video out of the blue about a week ago and have spent hours trying to navigate youtube's algorithm to find it. This is good shit right here.
Nerds rule!! you guys are awesome, it mustve been so hard to piece together all that perfectly, like fighting with just an unreleased lightsaber but then edited it all to make it work! I'm eternally grateful, you guys opened a whole new world
Ryan, big fan since Dorkman1. Not only do I hope they hire you as the main duel choreographer for all future Star Wars movies (especially 7) I hope they let you be in the movie in a battle as well. Cameo's by Brandon and Dorkman too!
The rotoscoping technique this team used shows incredible attention to detail. Way better than current day light saber battles. The camera work is amazing as well. I saw this when it came out and it is still impressive in 2024.
It’s embarrassing that two guys on a budget can produce a waaaay better choreographed lightsaber duel than a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate with limitless resources and plenty of source material to draw from.
Definitely one of the first ever CZcams videos I watched for sure. This was amazing as a kid back in the day, it's a long time aspiration of mine to make something like this one day.
Forget about the effects...how do you choreograph something like this?! Great job, love these homemade sword/saber/lightsaber duels, better than the "real" thing!
You are all wrong, look at that: "Due in part to recognition from Ryan vs. Dorkman, Wieber was offered a job at LucasArts, where he worked from September 2003 to October 2004 in the visual effects department. During his employment, he worked on the video games Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Star Wars: Republic Commando. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (video game) (2005) (effects artist) Star Wars: Republic Commando (2005) (effects artist) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (2004) (visual effects artist: cinematic cutscenes) Heroes (NBC Television Series) 2006-2010 (Effects Artist) Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015 (effects artist) "
I think an idea for the next great video you guys could do, would be a team-up: Brandon and Dorkman against a few of the Ryan clones. That would make for an epic video. Though I really do enjoy the videos you guys already have out, and think you all did a truly excellent job on all this. They're hands down the best lightsaber videos I've ever seen, outside of the Star Wars movies themselves.
During the battle in Ryan vs. Dorkman 1, that Ryan with the blue shirt was another clone. In the very end when the other Ryan came and stabs Dorkman, he was the original Ryan, I'm assuming!
I remember I downloaded this during a lightsaber duel contest back before it had the lightsaber visual and sound effects. I pooed myself in awe of it then. And I think I just pooed myself in awe again. Awesome.
Lightsabers can do that. Brandon's lightsaber always got cut off in the videos by Ryan's saber staff. That's like one of the common battle routines that Ryan and Brandon have. Brandon always steals one of Ryan's half blades, too. :)
When will Ryan Vs. Brandon 2 will hit the youtube? I've seen some of it uploaded by other users here but it just cut off right before the fight finished... You guys are really good!!! Stay tuned for RvB 2!!!
A superb fight. Fast paced action, well choreographed, nice effects, excellant camera angles. This Video is second only to the RVD Series. Ironically enough, both actors in this vid contributed to the production of the RVD series. -5 Stars
@Brandon Flyte When will we see an HD remaster of my favorite battle? I first watched it 12 years ago... are you guys old and tired now too? "You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations *were* short."
This question's probably been asked before, but what's the music in the background during the fight? I know the music in the end credits is Battle of the Heroes, but its the main music I'm looking for.
the high res version isn't available anymore. Is there any way that it could be uploaded here please ? Or have a download link along with the sequel ? That would be even better since youtube can lower bitrates on upload. RvB 1 was available on the ryan vs brandon website, but it's down now, and using the wayback machine can't lead to the file.
Jesus christ! That was really good! Brandon was from the beginning the badass one:D The style of grip and work with legs, seemed much more confident from the very beginning...truly amazing
Very nicely choreographed. Question on the double saber though: That looks like a very small connection between the two hilts. How sturdy is it? Is that the Maul saber, or a custom job?
@ChipNick87 No the song at the credits was battle of the heroes. The song that plays during the fight is called "From Below V2" and it is from Unreal Tournament.
another amazing lightsaber fight :D this is really well done. but i was just wondering as another lightsaber duelist (yeah me and my friends spar with pretend lightsabers) do you prefere double bladed or single bladed lightsabers? i think double is better and easier lol :) anywho, keep up the excellent work! :)
hey great job I liked it a lot, The next one you guys do make sure you guys go all out. Pull no punches. keep it up guys. I am looking forward to the next one.
What kind of locking mechanism did Ryan use on his paired lightsaber? I am wanting to make my own for a duel and would love to know how he made his. Thanks for the feed back!

This deserves a HD Remake.
About that...

There is a second one, which is essentially that. Look up "Ryan vs Brandon 2".
it's 2006

12 years ago, it was badass
now it's been 17 years, still badass af, and always be.
I remember watching this back in the day. Oh the nostalgia.
😭I want my childhood back😭
makes me wanna break out my old lightsaber lol
I miss these days😭
I miss those days too.
I know, I miss these years.
I was 8 when I first saw this back when it was new in 06 god I feel old
Hahaha, I love the way Brandon fights. Turning off the saber, the way he flipped the saber when he got it from ryan. What a badass.
It’s called Trikata

New as in Ryan vs Brandon 2?

DudeWHo'sBored Same! Like when it was first shown, I think it was part of the LCC. Wasn't this song used in Unreal Tournament?
I don't know. When CZcams came out, I was just watching videos just because I could.
DudeWHo'sBored me too
First youtube video I've ever watched.
CAB1802 yeah me to
Same I just came back to it
Me too
Mine I'm only a teenager and I feel old watching this. These were my childhood.
Back then when people used to make videos for fun and not for money or something like that :)
MrAlexman13p yeah. Also before CZcams got screwed over by all those changes.
I miss the old CZcams. It was so much simpler and so much better
@@TREVORVADER true
Nerds rule!! you guys are awesome, it mustve been so hard to piece together all that perfectly, like fighting with just an unreleased lightsaber but then edited it all to make it work! I'm eternally grateful, you guys opened a whole new world
Certainly better than the stuff from the sequel trilogy we have now...
Ryan, big fan since Dorkman1. Not only do I hope they hire you as the main duel choreographer for all future Star Wars movies (especially 7) I hope they let you be in the movie in a battle as well. Cameo's by Brandon and Dorkman too!
One of the best fan films regarding rotoscoping I’ve seen and I first saw this back when it first came out. Love it! Very professionally edited
Brandon should be anakin skywalker
I kinda thought he was a depiction of Anakin Skywalker
Yeah it was like Mustafar all over again
He is not a true Anakin until he slaughters a bunch of children
why thank you
That was some pretty awesome work you guys did. As Ryan said on Mavaloharly's "LightSaber Duel Kaito vs. Haku": THESE ARE AMAZING.
Kylo Ren is that you?
One of the best lightsaber duels i have ever seen!
The rotoscoping technique this team used shows incredible attention to detail. Way better than current day light saber battles. The camera work is amazing as well. I saw this when it came out and it is still impressive in 2024.

Can’t believe this is 17 years ago. And it’s better than any of the crap Disneys released
Brandon, you did an amazing job on RvB! I can't wait to see the finished RvB2! Great work!
It's 2021 and I'm still here.
11 years later, one of the best videos on CZcams for me.
Back when I thought no one would put out videos like this. I was so proud to be a nerd when I first saw this. And I still am.
Ten years later I now know it's the same Ryan from the Ryan vs Dorkman vids. Holy shit these videos were great!
Forget about the effects...how do you choreograph something like this?! Great job, love these homemade sword/saber/lightsaber duels, better than the "real" thing!
It's funny how Star Wars fans make better lightsaber duels than Star Wars itself.
the second part after the green lightsaber is destroyed is kinda what an alternate Anakin and Obi Wan fight would have been like.
Why they never hired you for the choreography in the prequels or the force awakens is besides me.
I think Ryan is in the VFX credits for The Force Awakens.
chris magaleoun Ryan and Brandon both work for Lucasfilm now
When the prequels came out, they would have been too young to work for Lucasfilm, nor were they well known, they were just fans making home videos.
@@Mr-Tibbster Damn good videos

Сколько не смотрю - не надоедает !
awesome. i always love the duel sabers. nice display of choreography. Cant wait for part 2 man!
An elegant video, from a more civilized age. Before the dark time... Before the Disney Empire
this is my fave fan-made lightsaber duel. you guys are awesome
Oh my God, this was made almost 15 years ago.
Ok, now THIS is one of the best video I think i've seen on youtube. Great Job!

Why is always ryan dying?
Ryan vs. Brandon 2 seems to imply that Ryan's been the villain all this time, so that might have something to do with it.
Colton Hunt Yeah, because of the clone shot, Brandon can never find the original Ryan!
During the battle in Ryan vs. Dorkman 1, that Ryan with the blue shirt was another clone. In the very end when the other Ryan came and stabs Dorkman, he was the original Ryan, I'm assuming!
He's local Shaun Bean))
Because he has a bunch of clones
im disappointed in myself for not seeing this masterpiece sooner.
this video kicks ass, the lightsabers, the choreography, the footwork not to mention the location, recipe for an epic battle 5/5.
I remember watching this 14 years ago. Finally found. Went and bought my first lightsaber after watching this when I was a kid.
This video is REALLY Growing on me.
The sounds are so awesome.....
For 2006 these effects were pretty mind blowing
It's fantastic. I can't believe itas over 10 years ago since i saw this with an old buddy of mine. Oh how times fly by fast.
Eight years old and I was an enthused Star Wars dude even then! GOD how the years have passed!!!
That unreal tournament track fits this so we'll
I remember I downloaded this during a lightsaber duel contest back before it had the lightsaber visual and sound effects. I pooed myself in awe of it then. And I think I just pooed myself in awe again. Awesome.
I'm not even a huge Star Wars fan, but my life is complete (-er) for having seen this. Damn, you guys are GOOD.
I love this vid!!! all the rayn vs branom and rayn vs dorkmen are the best light saber vid`s ever!!!!!!
well, Brandons lightsaber getting cut in half
Lightsabers can do that. Brandon's lightsaber always got cut off in the videos by Ryan's saber staff. That's like one of the common battle routines that Ryan and Brandon have. Brandon always steals one of Ryan's half blades, too. :)
yeah
@@zaclovesschool2273 Lightsabers should be uncuttable.
Amazing, choreography, stunts, and overall performance.:
This is really good. I like how professional this looks and sounds! By any chance do you have out takes for this?
When will Ryan Vs. Brandon 2 will hit the youtube? I've seen some of it uploaded by other users here but it just cut off right before the fight finished... You guys are really good!!! Stay tuned for RvB 2!!!
Another amazing lightsaber duel from the men who brought us RvD1 & 2!
Bravo!
All in all, I wanna say this does a great job of showing how a Sith (or Dark Jedi) and Jedi apprentice would duel in the Old Republic. AWESOME JOB!!!
Badass! Ryan wielded the double-edge lightsaber, awesome.
The OG fan duel...and a classic for a good reason.
One of the best I've seen, should be proud of that one!

1:53..Brandon pulled off a Flurry..damn that's a difficult move. Beautifully done.
These serious of videos are some of the very few videos of lightsaber combat that actually got the sound effects right across the board.
Boy, you just *can't* root for Ryan in these videos, can you? XD
sure you can, i think of him as the "bad cop" without the "good cop" sidekick :P
Er... Ryan killed Alex in Alex vs Nate 2.
Casey C-ManCoolMan Pitt Yeah but that wasn’t his duel and he backstabbed him literally lol
NOPE
ey.. how do u make the lightsaber effects? really wanna know.. so cool maan!
HELL YEAH. That was friggin' amazing. Kudos.
Floppy Hair, Baggy Clothes, shot in 360p on a potato, Unreal Tournament Soundtrack….
I miss the early 00’s
One of the best lightsaber fights I've ever seen in my life these two need a job in the movies
great moves! great people! great place! great effects n great sound!
WOW!!!! that was as cool of a fight as what they do on starwars! Awesome!!!! and how did you make that guys head come of at the end?!!
Ryan and Bradon's sabre fight are just brillaint, they corigraph them so well.

Ok, has Ryan ever been in a duel where he didn't cut someone's lightsaber in half only to be killed by his own weapon afterwards?
where did you get the lightsabers you used for these movie???
Crazy to think, that this is better than everything official we got after 2005 😅
awesome Flyte man.. seriously
hey great job I liked it a lot, The next one you guys do make sure you guys go all out. Pull no punches. keep it up guys. I am looking forward to the next one.
Holy sh*t!!!
That was incredible, especially when Brandon turns off the saber and Ryan falls through lol
These dudes make the best saber fights
This is Extremely good, very Extremely Good, I wonder have you guys ever injured yourselves in anyway during the making of this?
What kind of locking mechanism did Ryan use on his paired lightsaber? I am wanting to make my own for a duel and would love to know how he made his. Thanks for the feed back!
i must admit, this was very nicely done. that little shut off the saber to let them fall trick is something i'd have done myself.
