Double Lightsaber or Dual Sabers?

katana are the most effective of melee weapons in terms of cutting power, but they're not very good against heavily armored opponents. They hold a sharp edge far better than any other weapon though.

 

Oh, I know - it's why say a battle between a 16th Century Samurai vs a Medieval Knight would be fascinating. The Samurai would have perhaps the most brilliant sword produced, but the Knight would have the best suit of armour ever made (the Italian stuff could stop English long bows).

 

I'm sure from your statement your aware of the way weapons went in Europe to combat the armour, so I won't bother commenting further

dual-wielding lightsabers wouldn't be nearly as hard as actual swords because lightsabers are much lighter. All the weight is in the hilt so balance isn't an issue, but that weight distribution is exactly what makes lightsabers hard to use in the first place.

 

Agreed, though interestingly I think the lightsabers lack of weight, would make it harder to keep track of. As when I'm wielding a sword I keep track of where it is when out of sight by the way the handle is responding in hand, if you follow me.

You guys have clearly never seen a Samurai sword properly used.... They are lethal - and easily the most effective melee weapon made as of yet. I'll see if I can track down a video of a sword master using a Katana on a 2ft wide tree; he cut it clean in half, and before it had dropped to the ground, he had cut it again, leaving a massive segment - was truly amazing! (Does of course help when you have arm muscles as big as his too )

Yeah. I have seen a video of it once (on television). It is amazing how strong they are. In essence, they are just amazing. Simple as that.

 

Here is an interesting video.

That is awesome. Medieval weapons are damn effective, did you know a cross-bow will go through the armour of any of our modern tanks? Fortunately Al-Qaeda don't seem to have realised this.

Wow. I never did know that. But yeah, medieval weapons are amazing. I want a Samurai, and a cross-bow then.

double, hands down.

duel really annoy me, because it seems like there's something missing. plus theyre supposedly stronger, and requires more 'skill.' so you know, if you're up against someone whos using double-bladed lightsabers, they must be good.

On JKA, doubled is called noobstick on multiplayer...

Can gues why? lol ^^

Duals the way to go!
