You just have to see the Saber vs Berserker fight in HD to trully appreciate its spectacle.

Shit

Lolwat.
In what way? In here Alter managed to the same in one regular ass sword swing what took regular Saber a whole lot of prep + prana burst.
I just don't see how you can look at this and not think Saber Alter is anything but OP-as-f*ck. She was spamming Excaliblasts left and right and pretty much leveled the Einzbern castle with zero difficulty.
I'd argue this is the strongest she's ever looked.

Where's Sella and Leys? Don't tell me Alter fried them.

Raw power, sure. However, my point is that weakened Saber in UBW is pretty much able to lead Herk around by the nose and suffer no real problems doing so, so seeing Saber Alter just constantly throw around Exalibur blasts is only special in the sense of showing off mana supply. Based on the UBW fight, Herk shouldn't have even had a chance to counterattack.
Of course, maybe Saber Alter just didn't fucking care and went the lazy Gilgamesh way of approaching fights.
I thought that was how SAlter was meant to be. Hence the "like a runaway train" analogue.
Beside, the Herk/Saber fight in UBW went the way it did because she didn't have the excess mana she does as Alter.

It's been half a year, so maybe I'm not remember the fight well anymore, but she certainly didn't seem hindered in terms of the agility/instinct reduction from being darkened. As for damage resistance, that would require Herk to actually hit her in some way to be shown.
Near the end of the fight, Berserker throws a huge punch, just like the one from the fight in HF1. Instead of getting rekt like before, Saber Alter tanks the hit (only getting her visor damaged), uppercuts Berserker, then Excaliburs him for the final blow. Her greater damage resistance was certainly conveyed.
You really don't remember the fight. Herc hits her with a TOWER. He grabs her by the head and grind her face on a wall at high speed, with stone fragments going around them. She tanks a fist which shockwave blows in fragments the stone floor around them, and then answer him with an uppercut.
Shame the only thing Saber under Rin did is stand and watch as others solve multiple problems one by one all by themselves, with her minimal effort against Sasaki, who should have been an one-shot if Sabr undur Run Cun Dufut Bursurkcar or whatever Nasu said.
