Llyssa Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Try fighting a guy with an axe and shield with a sword sometime if he knows what he is doing with it. Talk about OUCH! Good point about hard versus soft blocks. But still, one solid cut and you have half a saya... Hard to parry with 4 inches of wood... POSSIBLE, mind you, I have seen it done. But HARD. Didn't think you were one of the people who play anime style games and figure they are 9th dan masters of Kenjutsu. If I implied that I did not mean to. That said, since this is far future, I guess the saya would be made of super hard dense metal. Gallium maybe? (snicker) Gallium is a liquid. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyssa Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 ...also, "rubedo" is a (apparently fictional) material alchemists used to make gold out of other materials. So, rubidium has nothing to do with it. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadwyrm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Well, considering the fact that the katana is curved... ... That was kind of expected. Someone skilled in that should be capable of making arced cuts in almost any angle from the scabbard except for the silly ones like trying to draw and cut the floor from a standing position or trying to draw and cut to your left from a stationary position without turning and using your right hand. In one motion. Edited April 1, 2014 by Sadwyrm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadwyrm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Which is why I snickered Too many people seem to equate katana with saber. Two TOTALLY different styles. The kanji for "katana" does have the general meaning of "Bladed implement of the backsword style with a curved blade", though. Nowadays the classification of []-to isn't used much outside of the Chinese language, iirc. Yay multilingualism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays the classification of []-to isn't used much outside of the Chinese language, iirc. Yay multilingualism. True. Don't even get me started on people calling anything curved with one edge and a one or two handed hilt a katana... (tachi, No-dachi, Dao, falchion, scimitar... I have seen them ALL called katana. *sigh*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderoftheAether Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If that Katana is to be added in addition to the upcoming melee update... PLEASE! Please please please, have that Katana worn the other way up. I don't know if anyone else knows much about Kendo or Iaido, but the katana is worn the bladed side up. Doesn't Digital Extremes do research on this stuff before making them? I mean even some anime that portray much less realistic content have got this part right. I would expect Warframe's next update that focuses heavily on melee to at least present melee with integrity. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, and I don't know if anyone would like to add to this. This IS in the feedback category right? So here's my feedback. Also, you might think this is disrespectful to the developers, but what they've done is disrespect the sword and it's art. Just my 2 cents. Actually, the sword is facing the right way.

Kalenath Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Actually, the sword is facing the right way. Now it is. In screenshots, it was shown edge facing down. That was only for horseback use (and usually with a tachi, not a katana). Edited April 1, 2014 by Kalenath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadwyrm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Actually, the sword is facing the right way. It used to be facing the left way. Now it is. In screenshots, it was shown edge facing down. That was only for horseback use (and usually with a tachi, not a katana). Adding on to that, the tachi has a slightly longer blade, more curve and only enough handle length for one hand, if what I've read doesn't fail me.

A horseback and battlefield version of the same basic blade design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadwyrm Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nope. That is it. A horseback and battlefield version of the same basic blade design. I figure a spear or naginata is more useful, with the tachi as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of the reason I got excited at seeing the bo animations. DE wouldn't work that hard to animate just one weapon. As a side note: I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the de-railment. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otakuwolf Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It would be cool if there could be a Katana+Wakizashi held "Tachi" style as dual version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlayn Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Actually, there's no evidence ninjato existed before ninja fanfics created them. They never had a name for the sword they used either. The ninja used a shorter version of the katana. NOT the wakizashi. The sword did not have an official title. So later on the future more like modern times they gave those swords a label which was Ninjato. It was basically a shortened katana. Since the Japanese style of making swords always caused it to have a curve at the end. The Ninja needed something small not ludicrously huge, and unwieldy by the average person. Something that could be collectively and easily mastered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you might think this is disrespectful to the developers, but what they've done is disrespect the sword and it's art. Just my 2 cents. You do realize that the katana will be situated based on what slot it is worn on primary, secondary, melee since in melee 2.0 you are supposed to be able to equip a melee weapon in any slot you choose. They could also be basing were the katana is placed by researching kinjutsu which is what came before kendo and laido and both of those are based on kinjustu which means art of the sword. This is also what the samurai used as there fighting style and combat art so if that is what they are using then it is placed right. And you also need to chill its a game were non of that even exists anymore your just over analyzing it chill out and enjoy the game for what it is a 3rd person shooting/slashing game now if this game actually took place during the time of the samurai or say a 100 years after they were massacred then I could understand your raging.

Odachi as a heavy weapon? Its not really heavier per say just longer reach and longer grip sort of a medium between light and heavy weapons.
