Why do all these katana's hit the ground?

[Jinn]

It looks really sloppy to hit the ground with the katana move-set.
I mean it's supposed to a more fragile weapon, but the move-set makes you bash it on the ground like a stick.
No wonder the durability is so low if you wack it around like that.

It's one of the reasons I never use katana's in the Soul's series.
Your character just look really unskilled when attacking with them, visually wise.

The only Katana I can stand using is the "Bewitched Alonne Sword".
but it forces me to wear that durability ring for any extended pve use.


Does this annoy others too?

Ehh, not really. It has a hell of a range. I would use Chaos Blade a lot, because I was running a Blood Build. I just kept a lot of repair powders on me, when I didn't have the convinence of a bonfire, which repairs everything that isn't broken.

He looks unskilled with any weapon... with a few exceptions like maybe Ricard's rapier and some other stuff.

Bonerfist > Katana

[Xi Jinpooh, Lord of Man-Jynuhs]

Ice Rapier & Chaos Blade power stance > Bonerfist =P

Nah, just every weapon. Anyone in this thread could probably beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of these guys with any of the reasonable weapons in the game.

I'm not talking about whats better stats-wise or skill-wise.
So i don't mean the bleeding or range of the weapon.
but just the attack animation looks bad to me.

I understand a zweihander, or any massive sword resisting impact with the ground.
but a katana is dmged easily if used like that.

No kendo/katana user would ever slam his sword on the ground like that.
It's just a bit of a let down.

Guess I'm sticking to my murakumo.

Why dont you complain about something logical. like "why do katanas do way too much damage", or "why are they so much longer than their real life equivalents". Oh yeah, it is a japanese game. Gotta make a weapon from their culture the strongest.

Are you implying that i'm not righted to talk about a part of the game that bothers me immersion wise?

Explain why thiis isn't logical? It seems logical to talk about something that bothers me in the game. To me it seems ultra greatswords do way too much damage. but w/e this is not a topic about that.

It seems you're a bit salty when you posted that comment, did you get killed by some katana users or something?

Katana = Try Hard weapon

[Sweet Tooth]

MY IMMERSION, MY REALISM, HOW COME MY SAWORD DOES NOT CHOP OFF HEAD ONE SHOT? DEVS FIX UR GAME.

[Lцсᶖаᶇ º¹]

I think the same on any edged weapon where they grind it against the floor. Probably one of the reasons behind the poor durability as well.
