kodachis vs swords

Firebird · 11-12-2006, 12:54 PM

hey, im new and was wondering if kodachis are usefull compared to swords overall. I know kodachis are faster and deal lower dam., but what style are they each used for?
Thnx

If you can Double Butterfly then kodachis are fun because they are so damn fast..

Overall tho I would still use a single sword.

Kodachis are better for k-styling and butterflying trust me but to me it makes people even more laggier.

i used to use kodachi but since i made my nagunz char i just started using katana no difference to me im skilled in all melee weapons.
kodachi:
higher speed
lower dmg
kodachi rapid slash glitch
sliding slash glitch
easier to k-style
can do ordinary wall slash faster i think
can MOVE while flipping
Katana:
slower
more dmg
must stand still to flip
pretty much average everything else... lol

I use katana because it's lighter.

You forgot about that advantage.

Katana is not lighter...kodachi is lighter, hence why it's faster.

Katanas are better than kodachi in almost all areas:
More spike damage.
Less weight.
Not glitched.
Instafall is easier.
Longer reach (I think).

Katanas are lighter.
Lightest sword = 9
Lightest kodachi = 14

1) Yes, swords have more damage PER slash. Quickslash with kodachis is devastating, though.

2) Err... But we have two swords! Ha!

3) Only Red Bloods are glitched.

4) I agree. It's bloody hard to instafall with kodachis!

5) Yeah, swords have longer reach.

I'm stuck using swords in NAGunz, but that's only because I'm using (HEAVY) automatic weapons. Kodachis are excellent if you learn how to use them, though.

Lol. Not neccisarily. Look at the weight differences. A lightweight kadochi vs. lightweight sword.

Sword wins.

Other than that Kodachi beats Katana in every other area except damage...

Kodachis look more sexy, and that's what matters most

Yup. Who wouldn't want a golden sword?

it does almost the same things in kodachi and katana, kodachi is speed make damaged, and sword is damaged high but swing slower, it hv been neutralise.

Katanas deal the greatest melee damage, but is slower than Kodachis.

Kodachis are faster than katanas, although they are heavier than katanas. The final attack in a ground combo deals double the normal damage. Kodachi flip functions the same as the sword, but the animation is longer, and it is harder to hit with. However, a player can carry their momentum while using it, unlike the sword (ability to move). Kodachis are not popular due to their low damage compared to swords and high delay compared to daggers, along with their higher weight.

I, personally, use katanas because I feel that they are just as fast as kodachis when butterflying. +rep p10x
