Comment on X-blade by finaformsora
I wish I could. They don't know how to design weapons AT ALL.
I mean it's a creative weapon. You could wield most of the keyblades, but the x-blade is supposed to be a legendary weapon, so why would it be easy to carry. A powerful weapon needs a powerful wielder
Yes you technically could wield them, but they would be about as effective in combat as a metal girder. They falsely call them swords when they are really somewhere between axes and maces. Edge alignment is nearly impossible because of the hand guard being on both sides, not that there even IS an edge. On top of that, there's a bunch of unnecessary material all over the weapon that just gets in the way.
what does a name have to do with the weapon besides itself? Have you ever held a keyblade before? You sound like that guy on youtube who tried to say the keyblade wouldn't work. Though it's called a keyblade it's used as a blunt weapon; you don't hit with the spiked side/teeth of the key, you hit with the backside. I have obviously made an held several keyblades and they all feel comfortable to hold and swing around as long as you're strong enough, like with a real club.
The unnecessary material IS just decoration based on the world it came from, but that doesn't mean it hinders the weapon. It just adds weight which takes us back to the strength of the user. You also have to look at the fighting styles of the character in the game to better understand some of the designs. The kingdom key for example is used by sora and mickey, one uses two hand (or one and a half hand) grip and the other uses mainly one hand. This keyblade is good for either style because it has more space between the handle and the guard. For two-hand grip, you grab the handle from each side of the guard, and for one handed you grab it from outside the guard, leaving it between your forearm and body. It's very comfortable, and with the teeth facing up in the air like they should be to hit someone with the blunt end, it feel very balanced. However for some reason, criticizers think the teeth go down which makes it feel unbalanced and confused.
I've had this debate several times. It's really getting old to explain it to people. Sure they could have used a different name, but why does it matter if it's creative and catchy for a game.

Okay, then if you just use the back, why is it any better than swinging around a metal pole? In fact, I think a metal pole would be BETTER because it wouldn't have all those decorations that WOULD GET IN THE WAY getting in the way.
because it looks good. It's based off of a key, it looks like a key alright, so they made the first design decide how they were going to use it. You dont want to damage the teeth on a key or you can't use it to unlock anything. If you want a pole, go get a struggle bat and be happy. There is literally no reason to be upset at the keyblade's design. It's a key, that acts as a club, that you swing like a blade.
I'm not saying this would be as effective as a real weapon, or against one, my only point here is that it can be used as used successfully and with ease. If you're not strong enough to lift and use it, then stop complaining. Because guess what kid, IT'S A VIDEO GAME WEAPON. It could be a standing fan with the special power to fucking oscillate on a high setting and it wouldn't fucking matter. You're obviously not fan of kingdom hearts or apparently video games in general so why dont you just stop.

Just because it's a video game weapon doesn't mean it can't be designed the way someone would design a real one. If it's supposed to be some special weapon that does something that others can't, they should make it look that way, and not like something that isn't even ass well designed as the 440 stainless steel swords in my basement that costed less than a hundred dollars. I may not be a fan of Kingdom Hearts, but who says I don't like video games? I just have a problem with people saying that a poorly designed weapon is the "greatest blade in the world" or whatever.
Oh wow you have REAL sword??? I'm so impressed!!wowwowowow I've never said it was the greatest, i've said it's interesting and creative. It's a special weapon because it's a combination of two people's hearts into one, so two keyblades, and a long blade on the end because it's the original keyblade. Even if you apparently like video games, you obviously have a problem understanding that it's fiction and has no effect on your life.
