Did you fight back?
Or did you say I love you to David?
I said I love you twice before fighting back. Brothers or not when someone starts actively trying to kill you over petty relationship drama (that I had nothing to do with) I'm pretty sure that gives you the right to knock some sense into them.

I fought back immediately. I was wanting to do that all season long.
My Javi did fight back from the beginning. David always was an unlikeable idiot, I tried to give him a chance, but after the end of episode 4, when he shot Clint, David was dead to me. Brother or not, he is a cold maniac and has to be treated like one.
I said I love you so I could get into his head.
I didn't fight him because anger is not the Jedi way.
I fought him instantly and ended up saving him in the end.
I was silent and let the timer run off.
At first no but playing it again yes because David deserved to get a beating and saying "i love you" and taking the punches changes nothing and he still runs off with Gabe, the only redemption from saying I love you is if you make a promise not to fight him but it does no change to David
I love you.
Javier: "I love you, brother."
David: UNINTELLIGIBLE ROAR
I probably would've done that two if I was a more petty and/or immature type of player.
Not calling you that, though.
Damn straight.
I didn't fight back, it kind of reminded me of the Gryff scene in GOT, just to show Gryff/David that you're better than him
I didn't fight him.
I feel like just saying that "I love you" feels a lot more natural than actually fighting him.
I would have fought him if the fight scene was better, but it was just boring.
Same situation, I was passive twice before fighting back the third time. As far as I'm concerned I didn't break Javi's promise to his dad. I tried to make the relationship work for as long as I could but like you said, when someone is actively trying to kill you, you gotta try to do something about it.
Well I would probably speak up if there was something other to say than "I love you", which seemed so inadequate and even nonsensical that it has thrown me off the atmosphere and almost ruined the scene for me (music helped a lot, it's probably my fav track this season). I figured punching David would do more harm than good and infuriate him even more, so being silent was all that's left. Not gonna lie, I thought David will back off after a few punches, but it seems like he would've killed Javier if Clementine didn't stop him.
I fought back. David was out of control, and I was not going to stand that. But I dont hate him, and I was not trying to kill him, just stop him. I did the same thing when Kenny attacked me on the train.
I fought back. His reasons are stupid, he was trying to kill his own brother out of jealously. I didn't even touch Kate but bitch had this coming.
It was only Kate's fault, glad she died in my game
I fought back with zero hesitation. David genuinely irritated me throughout the game.
I probably would actually be as David in real life, and I felt bad about that. Knowing it wasn't him but the stress and stuff piled on, I resisted the urge.
David: AUTISTIC SCREECHING
You are sick in the head.
How much would you be like David? A cold-blooded soldier idiot who has a sick definition of "family", was ready to abandon his wife and children, didn't even try to find them in the apocalypse and then blames and eventually fights his little brother for everything he did better?
Said I loved my bro. Was more comical anyhow.
I thought the scene was actually quite powerful if you don't fight back. I give ANF a lot of shit, but the voice acting in places is actually really good. You can hear in David's voice the anguish and internal conflict he is having when he is trying to choke Javi out. David can't handle it anymore, he feels to distant to his family and he feels like Javi has taken away every thing he has. Then, Javi just said "I love you" and the "No!" David screams sounds so genuine. It's really shaky and unsure. He feels like he doesn't really want to do what he's doing.
It also proves that Javi is better for Kate and for David's family, but can also show that Javi respects his position, and still loves his brother. I think it would have been better, though, if the dominos flashback was in a previous episode. Following his wishes would have felt a lot more weighty at that point. Overall though, the whole scene was probably my favourite in ANF.
Now if the overall context, being the rest of the game, around that scene was better, then the fight scene would be 100x better.
My Javi kept his promise to his dad.
I remained silent two times then I said I love you brother.
petty relationship? bro you clearly hitting on his wife what you expect him do go somewhere and cry lol
I fought back, he had already hit Gabe once, and broke someone's arm and I was not dealing with his shit anymore.
It kinda was Kate's fault. They wouldn't have fought if she didn't bring up that stupid relationship shit, which she does even if you reject her.
Yeah, he'd cross the line one time too many and hesitating could end up being very painful.
Plus, when he hits Gabe the first time, you can see he's literally scared of him. He literally crawls backwards just to get away from David.
I'd understand where he was coming from if I actually did hit on his wife, but I never did. I denied the relationship at every opportunity, but he refused to believe it. It made him come across as paranoid.
Well that's just an understandable reaction in general.
"I love you, brother".
Wasn't going to fight my favourite character of the season.
How does David respond if you're silent? What did being silent come up in the choices as?
I kept saying I love you, but the second he hit Gabe, I fought back. Nobody hurts my nephew.
Ending stats are broken for me so I don't know. David throws Javi on the ground all the same and silently beats the shit out of him until Clem shoots her gun. I don't think it matters much.
I didnt fight back the relationhip between javi and david throughout the whole season reminded me a lot of me and my bro sometimes we get angry
Well, you can turn that argument around you know. Fighting him doesn't change him either.
