if u could have a weapon what would it be

Hmm, well I took a look at it (thank god for Google) and it unfortunately falls into the one class of swords I really don't like, the rapier/foil selection. The blade is far to thin for me, it would be almost impossible to block against heavier weapons.

✅ 😊 i agree

The problem is it's pretty much a one shot only blade, if you don't kill or incapacitate your opponent in the first strike all you can do is dodge and hope he makes a mistake. That's not my idea of a good combat strategy.

True but i wouldn't quite agree with it being just a one shot blade thing though me and my friend do sparring with weapons but depending on how skilled u r with weapons depends on how ur opponent would cope with you my friend has caught me out a few times with that particular weapon before but on the other hand u r right 😊

I'll admit it's a dangerous weapon in the hand of a master, but against a heavier weapon the blade is too thin and light to block effectively. Speed is the key to fighting with that type of sword, if you get stuck in a prolonged battle you'll have a disadvantage.

i'm glad i don't have to ever fight u guys u might slice me up or something 😱

Please, I can't fight I just know about the theory. Most people could beat me senseless. They'd regret it later but lets not get into that 😈

Exactly. Thats what I was getting at. In the hands of a master, a schiavona can litterally slice through you with out even realizing it.

It does however have a wider blade then most rapiers. It is most commonly used too thrust and slice. Saito Hajime was believed to use a version of the schiavona. Due to the fact his blade was double edged.

Sorry I didnt give you the information, I was studying for my finals. Unkown girl put the jist of it though.

Oh it's no problem, Google knows all lol. Well I figured it had a wider blade than most rapiers, in fact for a little while I was undecided on whether or not it was a rapier. However the blade is still too thin for my tastes in swords. It's not that I'm knocking it, it's just a matter of opinion. I stated earlier that I prefer Polearms to Swords, not because I believe they give you any more of an advantage than a sword but simply because I prefer that type of fighting style.

True if u did possesse that sword then u'd have to be fast guess thats a disadvantage for my friend🙁 but then again i'd beable to beat her🙂 yay!

I'm not exactly light on my feet so using a rapier would be a stupid idea.

I'm sure u r fast but just don't realise it 🙂

No, I'm slow...well by that I mean I have no real ability in agility or movement. If it's running in a straight line then I'm fine.

Yeah see I was always quick on my feet thats why a Rapier suited my needs. I knew I wouldnt be able to out power opponents with a arming sword. (Knights sword)

I'm not quick on my feet but I have a very solid frame, which is why I prefer the polearm. It suits my type of build and physical ability.

Yeah I actually trained with a Glaive, but realized I wasnt meant for power. Thats when I traded in my polearm for a Rapier.

Cloud's Sword All The Way!

I wouldn't mind having a weapon like Tira's on SC3 its like a hula hoop lol

batman I'm more of a gun type of guy so would have to saw vash's revolver in trigun and possibly both of arucard's weapons.

lol cool 🙂 like ur sig btw
