Thread: The Kodachi Guide! By: Sougetssu

Seriously? This is a good guide? Boy oh boy, am I confused.

For one, ALL of the names you gave are majorly innapropriate, and you should probably use the real name.

Flip-block-slash = Instafall. Slash(hold)-repeat = Void. Double butterfly.... you didn't know you can do it with Kodachis? Dubyatf. You can TBF with Kods too, honestly, what did you expect?

All the shooting/flipping/slashing/dashing combo stuff is a SITUATION, it's not even a move.

And I'll give you the number one reason I think Kodachis suck BALLS : It's double slash can be blocked with 1 block.

If you look down and double slash (slash-slash/block), and the enemy is holding block, neither slash will go through. This is the ONLY reason Kodachis would be better, is because their double slash is way faster. Voidstep is completely useless unless you're juggling with it or something, because it leaves you majorly open to anything with half a brain. Other than that, every other move you do with Kodachis is do-able with sword, and since voidstep / double slashing are the only two things that Kodachis do better than a sword, the sword has a damage/weight advantage to the Kodachi in EVERY other move. Not to mention Red Bloods are bugged and the second slash doesn't even work half the time. Also to mention, you can e-lunge with a sword, which has (nearly) the same effect as dash flipping with a kodachi. Yes, the kodachis actual flip lasts for a bit so you have a bigger window to hit the flip, but it's not that big of an advantage compared to the sword damage.

MY major comment here is that kodachi double slash>>katana double slash. Yes, the kodachi double slash can be blocked using 1 block, but you can also use this to your advantage. If you angle both of those slashes and stand to one side of the person, you'll be taking enough steps in a short amount of time, enough steps to be able to hit the person's back. And since the double slash is equal to that of a single slash, it's like attacking a person in two different spots at once, during a singular attack. You can't do this with a katana since it's divided into two attacks. So the bottom line here is that there's no flaw with dachis, it's knowing how to use them, the same holds true for anything else in the world.

ps: If that confused you, then you're just not pro enough to understand.

Ehhhh I think the guy I quoted doesn't know enough about swords to even be posting here. >< There's plenty of kodachi-only moves out there that can't be duplicated whilst using a katana. Also if you're a gladiator, you won't care about the damage difference either. Kodachis>Katana. Coming from a guy who's highly experienced in using both.

Shows what you know. Everyone knows E-Lunge-With-Sword > E-Flip. I mean c'mon, the name is longer and everything - means auto win.

Swords have slightly longer reach.
