Bushido Blade 2/Broadsword

Info

Description: The game's most destructive and overpowering weapon. However, it's heavy enough to where even Power characters can have trouble swinging it quickly. Thus, its attacks are easy to predict and parry. As long as its slow speed is realized, its immense power can be effectively utilized. Players seeking that one well-timed hit will like this weapon.
