A fun little thought that could become something more if someone has the funding for it:

In a competition between 3-swing swords, 2-swing swords and Cutters (because they're the only 5-swing sword type in the game), who would win?

Which team could clear a gate in the shortest amount of time?
Which team would die the least, or use the lowest amount of pills?
If you had a representative from each team in a 3-man party, who would be the MVP in that party?

Weapons could be restricted to two slots:
Team Cali would use a Brandish and a Cali (or perhaps a Flourish?).
The S.S. would most likely use Avenger and Faust, unless they want a Khorovod.
CWC would use a Dread Venom Striker and... well, maybe a Blaster to even things out?

All I'm saying is, I would enjoy something like this and I think it's a good jumping-off point for a discussion.

Go Team Cali!

I think it'd depend on which levels you got, honestly.

I've been using the Troika line, just upgraded to the Kamarin, and I have to say, against certain enemies it's a wonderful weapon to have. Against others, not so much. At times I feel that I'm about to give up and look for a Cutter of some variety, and then I wind up in a situation where the only thing that saves my tail is the utterly insane knockback the Kamarin has.

It's pretty good for dealing with jellies, zombies, wolvar and such. Gremlins can be annoying, and I usually find myself scrambling for my gun when I run into any of the Lumber series, or when dealing with Gun Puppies. I also feel a little worthless on Jelly King, but honestly I've only seen him about three times now, and I'm still not sure how to approach that fight.

Cali for the win!!!

I'm telling ya it's kinda the best of both worlds. Very good power per hit and has a good knockback as well. Having a Levi is hella nice.

@ Magnus
I Google'd CWC and the only thing that came up was Chemical Weapons Convention OwO! Was that what you meant?

@ ShadowSgt
I hear you. I love Calibur because Slash-Slash-Block on Cali does more damage and DPS than Slash-Block on S.S., and you can't exactly Slash-Slash-Block on S.S. if you want to retail the ability to block-on-reaction. The main draw of S.S. is the range and knockback, not necessarily the damage... and then there's the Cutter doing it's own creative thing in the corner.

Anyway, I'd love to see what team everyone's on at the very least.

I'm on the bare knuckle side, where I beat the living snot out of Gremlins and make baby blankets from their pelts.

@Fenix Let's just say that

@Fenix

Let's just say that talking about Chris-Chan AKA CWC isn't something you wanna do on a forum dedicated to a game that's built on childhood dreams.
