Well especially on stairways, say in the dungeon, if someones kinda up against the wall, you can just walk up behind them and stab the crap out of them before they can move. Then after about 4 stabs, lundge them down and kill them. Simple.

There are a lot of advantages, such as faster climbing (even though people don't think so), and a lot more dynamics than the simple butterfly. I suggest you try it, and don't just lundge. But I recommend learning yourself, the guides are a load of crap.

Also Daggers are lighter than swords so you can throw on some more armor. Weee.

There are no advantages in D-style cuz k-style pwns all.

Nayruu · 09-05-2006, 09:49 PM

you can carry heavier weapon combos like rockets and shotguns without having to streak around naked... thats about it. and people get get really pissed off if you kill them with dagger, if that like... turns you on or something >.>;;

Erm, u can dash faster? Dagger-delay lower.

Cenon · 09-05-2006, 10:04 PM

daggers are very versatile, goto world 2 and search for some daggershot people... goto their games watch them

Yuna · 09-05-2006, 10:07 PM

Hmmm, IMO, i feel daggers suck in Glad matches.

Cenon · 09-05-2006, 10:15 PM

lol of course they do.

Yuna · 09-05-2006, 10:26 PM

Katanas block ftw. =)

Kitrine · 09-06-2006, 01:13 AM

D-style can own k-style if used properly~

FreshMike · 09-06-2006, 01:14 AM

I think the main thing that's good about daggers is what Yuna already said. The delay. & that you can stab while dashing and running. Basically, if you catch someone they're in sh**.

The advantages os using dstyle:
-simpler to use (no need to cancel slashes just to move, makes things simpler for less experienced players)
-a bit less weight

Lunge is nearly useless in high level games because in short ranged fights you get owned by sg spam(no block), or people just bflying avoid it ._.

Actually, the advantages don't make up for the disadvantages, the 5 extra weight you get from changing from lightweight sword to phantom slaying dagger doesn't make up for the handicap in melee and lack of block.

Cant think of any because with D, you dont get a block function.

azn_waste · 09-06-2006, 08:16 AM
