The automatic stance is similar to fencing, which puts considerable strain on the wrist.

Let’s train.

I wonder where the bolt of the rifle is fixed and how it is operated.

I can only see a future where my wrist gets messed up, but it seems like Cypher might be easier to use!?

The rifle type seems to have a look similar to the WA2 bayonet.

Squall’s Gunblade has a grip that is shaped more like a sword hilt than I expected.

But Cypher’s really seems like it’s going to wreck my wrist.

The Executioner’s Sword is nice, isn’t it…

It looks too difficult to hold normally as a sword.

Moreover, it vibrates with the trigger… my wrist is going to give out.

The vibration sword that is shaken by the explosion of gunpowder is such a mysterious sword; I think the difficulty of holding it comes second to that…

The corpse twelve style is good.

Isn’t a mid-fold dangerous for the blade?!

>>12

There are also issues of intensity, and I’m only thinking about various romantic ideas.

The squall looks like it’s just a sword with a magazine attached to it.

Is Lightning’s gun a type of transforming weapon?

All the gunblades except for 8 were just regular bayonets, right?

After all, the explosive vibration sword is too much to handle.

The way the cypher’s gunblade is handled and posed is just a complete homage to the knights of the witch from the movie.

It seems that the setting is quite absurd as a form of swordsmanship.

>>17

The performer said that they only used the Gunblade during training.

I was surprised when I learned the setting because I thought it was releasing some magical something sealed in a cartridge of ammunition.

The handle of the squall guy looks like a rifle.

If it’s constantly vibrating at high frequency, that’s one thing, but if you apply a vibration from gunpowder that just goes “bang,” it seems like the blade would get damaged.

I love weapons that combine guns and melee weapons in any kind of work.

I am a samurai who loves the anti-material rifle scythe used by Bayonetta.

Damage from explosive vibrations increases by 1.5 times!

There are no critical hits that double the normal damage instead!

It was an unnecessary consideration.

I still think that a sword gets in the way when shooting bullets, doesn’t it?

>>27

Huh?! What’s the necessity of having cancer…?

>>30

It’s a weapon that uses gunpowder to create vibrations to cut.

I want a saw to be attached as well.

If you completely ignore things like the human body’s durability or grip strength, I think Cypher might actually be quite easy to use.

To truly ignore those parts vigorously is, to be blunt, the same as with Squall’s law, so there is a question of how far one can completely immerse themselves in foolishness.

Cypher’s gunblade is meant to be used for thrusting, as you can see in the OP movie.

Thinking of it as the same angle as the grip of a foil used in fencing is actually more rational.

…Huh, during the game, you just swing and don’t thrust? Yeah…

Depending on the work, there are certainly gunblades that combine guns and swords, but the ones in this and FF8 enhance cutting power with the explosive impact of fired bullets!!! It’s a ludicrously crazy weapon.

In the story, it’s treated as a ridiculous weapon with overly strong quirks, and there are hardly any users for it, making it unpopular.

>>32

There were probably many Gunblade users who dropped out due to tendonitis during the Esthar campaign…

I like that each boss has unique continuous sword motions and timing bars.

I remember stabbing it right into the head of the Jabberwock.

I think the shape of Cypher’s blade is really cool and very triangular.

The name Hyperion is also subtly cool.

Isn’t it possible that this is just a silly weapon that relies entirely on bluff…? I thought that first, and well, it’s kind of cool… I guess…? I tried to convince myself.

It’s surprising that it’s treated as an almost entirely bluff weapon in the story.

>>37

It’s just unpopular in the story, but it is a weapon practical enough to be learned even in the military training of the Galbadia army, where equipping either a two-handed sword or gauntlets is common.

Well, the Estha soldiers use pickaxe guns, and I don’t really understand the military in that world…

>>41

It’s the latest weapon from Esta! But what’s served up is a mysterious soft object.

The Esta army is quite a bizarre entity even in the world of 8.

The gunblade in FF8 is classified as a type of vibration sword.

By pulling the trigger at the moment of slashing, the gunpowder explodes, creating an incredible vibration that results in a very sharp cut.

Other gunblades can function as multi-weapons that can shoot and slash, but that’s a different story.

Making this resemble a futuristic sci-fi gun or a toy might give it a look similar to a Kamen Rider weapon.

I thought it was good that Squall from Kingdom Hearts shoots fire from the tip of his Gunblade, giving it a gun-like quality.

It’s not a bluff.

If we were to compare it to reality, it falls into the category of British weaponry or something along those lines.

It’s because of the background of 8 that things turn out this way.

I like the one where the scabbard is blown away with explosives for a high-speed draw, but I can’t remember which work I saw it in…

>>45

Is it MGR?

It’s nose-heavy, so I want a vertical foregrip…

That’s right, it’s Metal Gear.

It’s cool, isn’t it…?

The gunblade in Parasite Eve 2 could also fire shotgun rounds.

Is it a different religion from bayonets?

It looks really nice, but when I think about it calmly, it might be easier to use a regular sword with a magazine and a switch attached.

Doesn’t this bolt action dig into the space between your index finger and thumb?

There is no shotgun type, huh?

>>54

In Parasite Eve 2, there is literally a gunblade that combines a shotgun and a sword.

The blade part is a high-vibration blade.

The upper part of the single-edged blade is a shotgun barrel, and when the distance increases, it becomes a shotgun.

If you get too close, I’ll cut you.

Furthermore, with the recoil from firing a shotgun, you can also perform a cannon slash like Guts.

Although the reasoning is not convincing, it was a pioneering game experience where the controller vibrated with trigger actions and effects.
