Oddly-Shaped Sword: Difference between revisions

* While most weapons in the ''[[Soul Series]]'' series are fairly reasonable and realistic, several extra weapons you can buy/obtain tend to fall into this category, such as Siegfried's Flamberge (a zweihander with a wavy flames design, not unlike the page image). [[Dem Bones|Revenant]], an extra character in ''Soulcalibur III'' and ''IV'', also uses twin wave swords known as Gatekeeper.

* Sol Badguy's Fireseal/Fuuenken in ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111030092758/guilty-gear/images/b/b8/Ggxxr_cs1_so.jpg is a blunt, rectangular blade.] It makes up for its supposed lack of sharpness due to [[Hot Blade|its ability to generate intense flames]] (presumably thanks to an engine/exhaust-like mechanism installed in the sword) although the blade is still able to draw blood in-game. By the time of ''Overture'', however, [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111029045961/guilty-gear/images/1/1f/Gg2o_cs2_so.jpg the weapon has undergone heavy modification and resembles a more traditional sword] (the tip of the blade is still fairly blunt, though). Back during his days as a member of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, Sol instead used [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111108135038/guilty-gear/images/4/43/Ggxxac_cs_or.jpg an unnamed sword] that appears to be little more than a giant slab of stone or concrete.

* The Sparda sword in ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' has a huge crescent-shaped blade, and the position of the handle should make it quite difficult to wield. Lampshaded in the last line of [http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/899 this] ''[[Manly Guys Doing Manly Things]]'' comic.

* In ''[[Fate Extra]]'', Saber wields Aestus Estus, a large sword that tapers and widens somewhat randomly and comes to three points on the cutting edge... Well, [http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/images/f/f9/AestusEstus.png see for yourself].
