I saw it but thought it was off topic to post it.
ok. so back to the topic! does anyone here know a tutorial or anything else to make a sword fight?
Try a montage of clips. Make it seem like they are fighting a lot. It also makes the fight seem longer with a montage.
there's still a thing which bothers me! In errol's tutorial you can see this image 
If I make a sword swing/hit (or anything like that) isn't it a bit too unsmooth then?!
No, trust me, it looks great.
okay... I will make a little test!
Thats a perfect example of easing in and out, DONT MESS WITH ERROL, HE IS WISER THAN YOU
Of course I won't mess with Errol!
It's only 90* angle so it is not that much.
The point of the graph wasn't to say "use this many frames"; it was to show that when minifigs use objects, the objects should accelerate, not that you should use four frames for the whole sequence. You will want to use more if you shoot with a high frame rate. The number of frames you need to take depends on the time it will take for the sword.
anything about a fight with swords?!
Swing, swing, block, block, STAB, the end

very helpfull, thanks... 
I made this. Not sure if that'll help but you could try watching it frame by frame.
just to be sure, are these ^ claws meant to shoot knives (as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhihVPVSWP0 ) or just to stab his enemy?!
Hmm...If he shot the spikes/daggers at him it would definately be great. Not sure how you would do that though, being as lego don't make little seperate spikes. I think whatever they are meant to do, him slashing and stabbing his enemy would be easiest, and still look good. 
I have still some things to say/ask. This is my set:
Mr. Hassassin and Dastan are having a sword fight. I readed/read (or something like that) Errol's tutorial and I gained some experience about making a fight! but does anyone know a tutorial or anything about a fight with swords?!
i will try and make a short clip using a similar sized set if you wish. And maybe brek it down frame by frame.
I suggest moving the legs of the minifgures while fighting. It looks totally boring when they just stand around a tsching tsching with their swords. Also, use the other arm to make it look "balanced".
just to be sure, are these claws meant to shoot knives (as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhihVPVSWP0 ) or just to stab his enemy?!
I would use them as claws, it would be much easier. If you make a test video with them, i´d like to see how Dastan´s sword is stuck in these claws. You don´t have to, just a suggestion.

Ease in/ease out is when you make it seem as if they're powering up Fancypants has a great tutorial on it, I recommend you check it out.
