Which sword is more weeb to use in a video game?

1. Energy sword
2. Katana
3. Ridiculously huge sword
>>
Ridiculously huge energy katana

The one that comes from Japan

What's ridiculously huge, buster sword?
>>
>>321328348
I think of Halo when I think energy sword so cross that out
>>
laser swords are always cool, not gotta be weeb.

Ridiculously huge sword can be alright, but if a tiny 14 year old boy is swinging it like a feather, then it goes into weeb territory.

Katana is weeb like 90% of the time.
>>
>>321328348
Katana>>>>>Ridiculously Hueg Sword

Energy Swords have more Western appeal and aren't they Western in origin?
>>
>>321328348
Katana. Huge swords are for knights/vikings.
>>
>>321328348
4. 2 katanas

Katana energy sword that turns into a ridiculously huge sword for ultimate attacks that have like a 30 second cutscene just to perform while screaming out the name of said attack the entire time

Any typical anime character wielding a sword far larger than their body
>>
>>321329016
Xenoblade comes pretty close to this
>>
>>321328348

Most energy swords are looking for the star wars audience most of the time, not weeb

Ridiculously huge swords can be done right if they are shown as appropriately heavy and slow to swing, fast swinging massive swords wielded by needle armed kids are weebish

Katanas are concentrated weeb in weapon form

Right in the childhood, that shit was so cool. Call me a weeb if you want, but I loved those giant swords literally made of ghosts.
>>
>>321328348
I would say anything matching the size or smaller than Cloud's Buster Sword or your average MH Great Sword is not in weeb territory. Especially with MH GSs because they're treated has heavy as fuck weapons.
>>
>>321328348
katana because it was actually invented by the japanese

If it's energy sword, then Halo is a weeb game.

Katanas are weeb as fuck, but I don't care long as they got some of that iai shit going down

Energy swords are pretty weeb if they're plain as shit like in early Gundam or OPs pic, but if they look interesting like Halo's energy sword, then they can feel pretty bad ass. And conversely, ridiculously huge swords are weeb as shit if they're over-designed to hell and back, ie needlessly spiky, impractical design (beyond its size alone,) etc, whereas solid, plain chunks of iron, like DaS' great sword or the Buster Sword, look bad ass. Huge swords can usually be pulled off pretty well if they're kept simple. However, katanas are irredeemable weeb tier, and you're shit if you use/like/have them.
tl;dr:
Huge > Energy >>>>>>>> Katanas

Gundam energy swords are a knockoff of Lightsabers though.

The thing about energy swords that pisses me off is that theres never protection on the hilt
Energy sword duels would focus exclusively on chopping the others fingers/hilt

Both games had energy blades.
In ML2, to get the blueprint you had to beat that history/pop-culture quiz from lady milf and her daughters.
Or, if you suck at that, donate a retarded amount of money to her village (after donating to fix all buildings, since you have to give the money directly to her).
