My point is that more impractical saber weapons exist that nobody threw a hissy fit over.

How? They're all practical instead of the claymore version of the lightsaber.
A lightsaber whip is anything but practical.

I disagree.
Infinitely greater than a steak knife.

Feet first into fun!
The one showed in the trailer is a terrible design. They should use this on instead.

I disagree.
Even though the chances of accidentally removing a limb is infinitely higher than the claymoresaber from the trailer?
The whip is literally the epitome of impractical.

Nah there are a lot of uses for it. Makes for a great weapon.
But a crossguard is impractical? K

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I agree OP.

Add the new impractical lightsaber to the rest of useless list.

Yes. If you've ever seen the technique required to use a Claymore, the fact that the hand guard could cut you or get cut off is very impractical.

A whip if used properly could slice the shit out of people.
If used correctly, it wouldn't be a cause for concern, just like the whip.

Yes it is. Not to mention that's Halo and Elites fight a specific way.


Not really. That would be much easier to cut a finger off considering the blade is around the entire hand.

I agree with OP.
The saber in the trailer looks kinda like a long sword or broadsword style weapon.
You have to remember that using a sword like that would require a difference in tactics such as more power attacks/ slower more methodical ways of fighting.
Couple that with whoever is using it must have trained in ways that are tailored to that particular weapon thereby making it a very small chance he will mess up with the fundamentals of handling it.

It would be much more practical if it just had two metal bars under the light-guards.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Eh, Shoto one doesn't look that impractical.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

I've always disliked these though... the multi-threaded lightwhip was possibly the single dumbest idea to come out of the Legacy books to just make Lumiya stand out.
