Reverse Grip: Difference between revisions

* Baiken in ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' does this with her katana (which is her main weapon—she doesn't have an offhand weapon because she only has one arm, but she stuffs a lot of weapons in her other sleeve [[Inspector Gadget]] style). In her case, however, it's partly out of practicality and partly out of habit - she lost her right arm, which was most likely her dominant arm. Considering the weapons crammed into her right sleeve, a sheath there might get in the way, and so she wears it on the left, usually drawing it in a reverse grip because that would be the easiest way to draw it when the arm and sheath are on the same side. Of course, some of her fancier [[Rule of Cool]] steps in.

** Can't bring up ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' without mentioning Sol's fighting style, too.

* When playing for the Lotus Clan in ''Battle Realms'', Blade Acolytes dual-wield their swords this way.

* Most classes in ''[[Project Reality]]'' that aren't able to [[Bayonet Ya|mount a bayonet]] on their main weapon will usually still carry a knife, and will often wield it this way when using it.

* Krauser in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' holds his knife this way. Justified as he's clearly had military service (U.S. SOCOM).
