Actually, if you look closely at the delays of all the melee weapons (taking the best of each melee):

Sword: 329
Kodachis: 260
Daggers: 346

So the melee weapon with the fastest attack speed is actually the kodachis, then the sword, then the slowest is actually the dagger. This is especially with Void Step (Quick Slash) and BF used by K-Style for swords and kodachis, which CAN be faster than dagger stabs.

Then why do people say the order of speed in all melee weapons goes as follows from fastest to slowest: Dagger, Kodachis, Sword?

This is because Dagger has the best dash-cancelling ability and makes you most unpredictable and more agile. You can walk around while stabbing (basically you can stab almost anytime) unlike swords or kodachis. You can stab when you are dashing, walking, jumping... and cancel out of dashes if you like.

But swords and kodachis cannot do the same. They have to follow through the whole animation before they can move or dash again, while daggers can just cancel their way out.

People talk about the overall speed and agility. That is why Dagger is considered the fastest weapon, while kodachis are in the middle and swords the slowest.

Do you agree with me or did I make a mistake somewhere? Discuss.
