The Kodachi

Escoda · 04-22-2006, 12:41 PM

Ok since i'm using an Kodachi i'm asking tips replays movies etc.

I can't climb walls with the normal sword very good so also tips on that are welcome. Everything is welcome to improve my game play !

He typed that or something like that, wich probably means that my Kodachi is wortless if i'm right. And yes i don't speak french at all, its my most terrifying subject on school. Stil i don't understand i owned him with it.

i personally find it the same to wwall cancel with any melee weapon

anyway, kodachis are bad for ks

they're fast though

:P

I hope ks = Kil Stealing. I don't do this very often. And if i do it i would do it with my shotgun or rocket launcher.

Kodachis are useless overall. They're just heavy, and if you K Style, the delay effect isn't going to help much. Swords are the way to go, they're just as strong and they're lighter. I will never touch another kodachi, they just plain suck.

Waffle Iron · 04-23-2006, 04:07 PM

I dont like em, theres not much that you can do with Kodachehs that I cant do with a real sword. 'Cept maby quick slash a little faster.

Trism · 04-23-2006, 04:35 PM

Well i guess you can wallclimb faster and ss faster too.

they weigh to much for me.

i like sword!~

~~spongenoob~~ · 04-23-2006, 05:18 PM

kod's screw up my aim when im hsing/ssing cos the dash/slash effect gets in the way
oh, and it takes ages to flip.

Demonicsky · 04-23-2006, 09:34 PM

well personally i find the since the delay is lower it helps me get better control through the air, and wall climbing/running is easier. I cant use a sword because im used to kodachi and using something so slow seems...weird.... X.X

Kodachis aren't necessarily useless, every weapon has a use in GunZ it's just waiting to be found by you. IMO I think the only use for Kodachis is the low delay rate and the looks on different techniques. Swords may be stronger and lighter but they have a higher delay rate but not much. It may give you better control with certain techniques as demonicsky said but overall, Kodachis are just personal preference like many other weapons are.

Indeed, its just the way people play with it.. I have seen enough lvl 50ish people owning around in Kodachi only channels. Keep posting though. Replays on normal swords are handy aswell btw.

Just remember this: Kodachi look retarded when butterflying.

I like Kodachi, but i dont have the weight for them =/ i'm at 100 wght with 2 Breakers, 2 rings and the normal clothes.

Wrong. Kodachis ARE useless, worthless, and shouldn't be bought.

Reasons for supreme suckiness.

Weaker than sword and barely stronger than daggers? Check.
ALMOST DOUBLE the weight of swords with the disadvantage listed above? Check.
Delayed special attack? Check.
Any redeeming features that makes it worth using? No check.

You see, if you are going to use a sword, you will need to K-Style with it. Or turtle really well. You're not just gonna run around attempting to chop people. That doesn't work all that well.

I'm just saying, there's no advantage worthy of 20 weight, and a maximum of 18 damage (Same as a level 10 sword).

Kodachis have good and bad points, good point is that in an all vs all gladiator match, and can just slash away at people and because you are faster you get more hits in, however...I've been told that the block in the butterfly cancels the slash anyway, so it doesn't matter about the delay when/if you butterfly step.

The fact of the matter is, most people will not use Kodachis in normal combat past level 20 because they weigh too much with the level 20+ armour. Most people use guns more often than their melee so heavier guns will nearly always get the preference.
