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!
