What Would Your Ultimate Weapon Be?

[Itsunari 2000]

That's a great of an "STUPID" warrior who lets his openant come that close "before" he drws his sword. If a warrior knows how to use his brain he will draw his sword BEFORE he gets close enough to his enemy to start the battle

Of course , I wasn't implying all people who wield broadswords are stupid ... I just think the weightof an average broadsword is a disadvantage when you're dealing with an opponent who can deliver a strike like chain lightning.

This whole debate over what type of weapon is best makes me want to smash my head into a wall. All weapons have advantages and disadvantages. It only comes down to personal preference. I've done training with a fairly wide variety of weapons to know that in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, ANY weapon is deadly. Even a spork.

Actually, I think I might be changing my choice to spork....

Wtf?

[Martyr]

Wtf?

Sporkinjo.

The weapon works like a knife, sai and a 3 pronged spear (Trident-like) at the same time. They can be dual wielded and thrown. Sometimes they provide for games during the in between times of battle. The game composes of looking at the back of your spork and seeing who has the highest number.

But honestly now, don't tell me that you haven't engaged in many a spork-fight during those tremulous days of your youth!

or playing 'flick little stuff by bending it back a ways'

infact, that same ability of teh spork adds to its arsenal-- lightweight projectiles.

Damn... I forgot the mightiest weapon in all history. How could I have BEEN SO BLIND!!! THE SPORK OF DOOM COMES FROM THE SKY TO SLAY US ALL WITH ITS INFINITE POWER! RUN LEST YE INCUR ITS ENDLESS WRATH! AAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!

But that's not completely correct. The hevier and stronger blade of the broadsword makes its blows harder to block with a thin katana blade. And the weight of a broadsword is still not too heavy to deliver fast blows. Not as fast as with a katana... since it takes a small amount of more time to recover from a blow from a broadsword. But the blows themselves can be just as quick as from a katana if you know your stuff and if you are not using a broadsword in Clouds Butterfly Sword-size. in your example the broadsword-guy was slow and stupid while the katana-guy was both phsycicaly and mentaly strong and with alot training. Let's imagine that they are EQUAL instead!

If you're He-Man or somethin. You still have to wield a weapon that takes two hands. Which implies that it's heavy (or the dude or dudette would have two). So it makes it slower than a katana. Katanas use two hands too but it's based on the fighting styles to deliver good blows.

But like I said it's all skill and luck.
Mr. Katana guy could slip on a rock then Shazam in the face you know. lol

Ever heard of a 1-handed broadsword? they exist you know... and still... a 2-handed can be just as quick as a 1-handed + it's taller. Some of the broadswords that are made today are way too heavy but a good-quality broadsword whenever it's 1-handed or 2-handed or even 1&½-handed they are too heavy to deliver fast and deadly blows. And since a katana would have a hard time taking the blows from a good broadsword it would make up for the slower recovering with the broadsword.

Skill, luck, knowledge about your battlefield, strenght, agility and weapon. THAT'S all.

[Shoden]

mine would Be a Gunblade but the blade is really heavy and slightly larger than normal it will have abilities of Strength +60% magic +30% Spirit +20% Vitality +30% Quadruple overdrive and swift attack which is two atatcks per turn

Who needs weapons when you`ve got your own fists?

[Sr. Tobias]

check the signature... and wtf do u know about honor? u say all that crap now, but in a real "me-or-him", u'd just hav th time to change ur mind b4 th bullet pierced ur skull between th eyes

it'd hav to be some kickass gun, really well crafted, with beatiful engravings, and ivory handles and crap like that... it would be impossible to use in real life, but there's no ultima weapon in real life either, so...

[UltimaLimit]

Yeah, it'd be cool if this world were still that simple. But when was the last time you took on a guy with an Uzi using just your bare hands? (Well, I would if I had to, but I mean if you have a choice in the matter.)

Besides, weren't we originally talking about what our weapon would be, not what weapon is best of all?

Yes, but some people seem to enjoy the weapon VS weapon disscusion much more.
And it's still pretty much just a disscusion about what really is the ultimate weapon (or maybe just the "stronger" weapon but whatever) since the ultimate/stronger weapon means the weapon with the most advantage. That's why we discuss all this.
