If I were I bad ass fighter... I'd be the Son of Sparda. That's just about it.

Seung Mina was my favorite character in Soul Blade. But Kilik won me over.

Spatha, targe, vambraces, and kukri on my back waste with the handle facing the left. Use a low, fast style meant to keep my opponents off balance while allowing me a greater balance. Use the targe to deflect typical attacks and step into a persons guard for use of the spatha. Vambraces allow of extra protection and can be used to catch blades with my sword arm or with my shield arm should I loose the targe. Because the targe can be strapped to the arm instead of held it allows me to reach the kukri for suprise attacks if I am disarmed or clashing with an opponent. I'm also a heavy user of Aikido and all the weapons I use are light enough to allow for a few maneuvers to be used while still wielding them. When not wielding my spatha or targe, the vambraces allow me to protect myself from blades while using Aikido to disable my opponent. The kukri is meant for surprise attacks or as a backup weapon primarily but if I lose my targe I can also duel wield the kukri and spatha with some efficiency.



You could go with all that or you could just give me some meteor hammers...... I'd love to be able to use fire meteors but if we're going realistically that's beyond me currently.

Bo staffs are for girls.
I'd use a spear, and Shaolin Ken moves for close quarters combat. I'd also use a lot of insults and Yo mammas coupled with a healthy amount of headbutting.
I'm gettin really good at headbutting people, but that's what they get for goin' after my hog.
