Two-handed swords.

At a renn faire a few years back, a friend of mine got to see some folks that had actually dug up some old manuscripts about fighting with greatswords, and taught themselves how to fight with them. You know how in the movies, and books, and so on, people who fight with two-handed swords always swing slowly, and without a whole lot of finesse? Well, that's not exactly how it goes. The style my friend saw was mostly overhead, with the swords spinning, twirling, never stopping, and quick, devastating overhead chops. Requires a ton of arm strength, but just sounds scary.

So based on that? Two-handed swords for the win.

I've always liked Wan Fu's pillar of destruction in Samurai Spirits II.

spears and halberds really because they each are so useful in fortification and duel ended ones are really scary, Shou Yin would be proud

you ever see someone twirling a duel ended spear around OMG the pwnser 1337ness and finesse it takes and you could get stuck so many times before you knew what happened :shock:

Good god people comeo n. A lightsaber rules the field of imaginary weapons. Light, fast and cuts through anything. No weapon sould stop it except for projectiles and that would be difficult still. Lightsaber owns all other weapons!

So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up!"
