...ok i might be the only one speaking about this...but iv been tlking to some of my SK friends and they say tht the cutter series charge is much like a short ranged autogun charge...but the thing im tlking about is y doesnt the Cutter series charge flinch??...u try charging on a slag after it swings...slag can still hit u...and yes the Cutter is an agressiv weapon...but so is autogun...(excuse my language) but y doesnt it freken flinch monsters like the autogun series?...yes its a good and powerful sword but the charge leaves everyone wide open for monsters to attk (as in the monster ur hitting)...i dont mind if SK changes the cutter series charge...but it would help ppl...and if ppl agree with me then say something instead of just letting it by...sorry if i offended SK or anyone...
The main appeal to Cutter lines is the basic attack of five swings, each swing having an afterhit/ghost swing/other which deals less damage than the hit which created it but is extra damage. The charge attack is intentionally impractical because it is supposed to be used as a sidearm sword. No, it is not an offense based weapon as Calibur, Brandish, and Flourish lines are. Autogun is an offense based weapon but for its own reasons.
Cutter is more of a situational "I need to do some damage but lack the time to charge my Calibur/Brandish/Sealed/other line" sidearm which excels when the user needs to attack at that very second for a few quick swings. See here for more information.
