Staff or Sword.

hmm tough question.

Maybe sword :D
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Fai D. Flowright on April 12 2005, 01:24 pm
I'm going with the staff =p Because they're fun to swing around and you can use magic with them.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: lumizstar on April 12 2005, 01:28 pm
Hehe, I would definately use staff :P Don't you think Sakura's " star"  staff looks cool?? And its sooo handy with the transformation (from key to staff).
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Ralea on April 12 2005, 04:01 pm
Staff! Or was the other term wand?
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: D.J.P on April 12 2005, 04:21 pm
Its 'Star Wand'

-now back to the topic :)

Oooh...that's tough.  Would it be okay to have a staff/wand that can transform in a sword?   :hehe:

...Okay.  Maybe not.  lol  I'd definitely choose sword though.  Close ranged combat is what I love.  ;P

I'd want Meilin's butt-kickin' karate skills!  She's a dangerous weapon herself!  Seriously though, I'd probably go with a sword like Shaoran's simply because I think it looks cool. ^^

YES!  Mei Lin!  I miss her.  ;_;  I wish she'd appear on Tsubasa.  Besides that, hell yes!  Mei Lin's mad skills are wha anyone wants.  She's so cool!  XD

Ahh...Syaoran's cool sword.  Of course, everybody wants a cool sword like Syaoran's.  But no one can handle it better than him...;P  [swoons]

Post by: lika-chi on April 13 2005, 08:47 am
i want stafff but that's only if i get the cards too XD haha.. because the staff doesn't do much if there aren't any cards XP
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Lexi on April 13 2005, 09:28 am
I would have to go with Syaoran's uber-kool sword :hehe:  I love Sakura's wand too, but it's just a bit too girly for my taste :confused:   *huggles Sakura-chan*
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: scarecrow_wingz on April 13 2005, 06:54 pm
i dunno what i prefer...i can't choose...but if i have staff hopefully that means i have magic and i can turn it into a sword anyway ^^

okay...staff ><

You can use it to bonk people. >.< But then again, you don't need a wand for that.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Arcademan on April 13 2005, 10:08 pm
I'd have to say the staff. It can be more easily concealed than Syaoran's sword as the key necklace so if you had to infiltrate, you can get away with it a lot easier. Both have very powerful mystical properties but of course the sword has a slight advantage for you can slice meat and cheese with it while the staff will only make a mess :tongue3:

Yeah...THE STAR STAFF!
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Tune on April 13 2005, 11:00 pm
if i could have a sword, i'd choose Balmung from ragnarok online~~heh~~its urber and GM- only weapon ~~*dreamy*~~
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: ani on April 14 2005, 01:02 pm
I'd take the magic staff.. :P :D because it can also turn into a sword.. LoL.. its really hard choosing between those two.. but as soon as you find a loop.. [like being able to change it into a sword] its really easy! :D
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Dragonia on April 14 2005, 11:12 pm
i´d take Eriol´s staff coz i like it!
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Xiao Ying on April 14 2005, 11:59 pm
I would like Syaoran's sword but.... uh.. Sakura's wand is better for me! ahihihi!! ^_^
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Takeru on April 15 2005, 12:43 pm
I'm a boy, and since I believe that swords are better for the visceral feel of the blade cutting flesh and not for spellcasting, I'd have to pick a bowstaff. Held in the same manner as a double-bladed sword.

There is one instance, however, in which Syaoran uses a card without his sword. Dash. He holds his two forefingers in front of his face while holding the card in his left hand.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/yamamoto114/CardcaptorSakura30_0001.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/yamamoto114/CardcaptorSakura30_0001.jpg)
(Click image to see bigger size)

I would use this technique and prioritize it over anything else, even a bowstaff.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: cblossom on April 15 2005, 12:51 pm
I would pick staff for some reason I dont know why?
Well I do but I dont want to type it. It sounds silly anyways I think.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Arcademan on April 15 2005, 12:55 pm
Personally, give me a morningstar or shruiken...now THOSE are weapons :)

Still like the Star Staff...
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Mirror on April 15 2005, 02:22 pm
Staff, no question...  I'd hate to try and use the Fly on a sword.  Ouch.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Eriol on April 15 2005, 03:04 pm
Whoa!!This topic gone hotter than I thought,so I chose the staff because it's good when casting spells like Sakura does.The sword is good too but there are durability,endurance and carefullness when using it!!! :okay:
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Shinigami Zero on April 16 2005, 06:39 am
Well, I'd choose the staff if it was a little less showy.

All you really need is a good solid beating stick, right?
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Fight_Card on April 17 2005, 03:14 pm
Personally I would pick a bow and arrow . But if I had a choice it would be a staff in the shape of the sun, but I love swords too so it is hard to choose.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Ruby Chan on April 17 2005, 06:00 pm
I would choose Syaoran's sword AND magic....like Takeru Yamamoto said, Syaoran can use magic without it...

Besides, the sword is just as good as the staff....you can still use cards with it...but you can use ofudas too. Plus you can cut down anyone in your way.

That said, keep in mind a few things about the staff and the sword:

1) The staff can transform into a sword, which powers is dictated by the will of the user. It has been shown to slice through solid rock!

2) The sword in theory can deflect the staff, though not for a prolonged period of time. It deflected The Sword and it can also hold of mystical attacks. The only way the staff can do that is to use The Shield.

3) Syaoran's sword can be used as a regular weapon, where as Sakura's staff MUST be activated from its form as a key.

4) Again, in theory, the staff can NOT be broken. Its mystical properties will not allow it to be broken into pieces (as I wrote in my fanfic story 'Arcademan: In the Cards...' when a villain tried to bend and break it only to have a backlash of magick smithe the villain). The sword, with its mystical properties may have the same thing but if it ran out of magick, it would most likely become another metal sword unless the metal itself was forged by magick.

Heh...just adding more fuel to the fire :wink:

Yup, that's a good choice to have Syaoran's sword and his magic.  After all, you can't use the cards or ofudas with just the sword :sweatdrop:  (It might slice through it if you don't have magic :XD:)

Weapon? I'd like to have telekinetic powers. LOL. Seriously, I'll take a sword because it looks cool. =3
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: J-san on April 18 2005, 06:56 am
I'd be more of a fan of the Staff, yeah they can both use magic but a staff can look so much neater =D Plus I'd be too afraid I'd cut myself with the sword, and I already have a sword that's pretty much the same ^^
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Keruberus on April 18 2005, 09:18 am
I think the staff is the best, because staffs are always related to magic and casting spells, and fighting with staffs is also cool!
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Takeru on April 18 2005, 03:38 pm
I wonder how a lightsaber would work with magic.

Takeru: Fiery!!
Some Random Undisciplined Jedi: Whoa, that's crazy dude!! A force power that creates fire!!
Takeru: Uhm, sure, let's go with that.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice

***There is one instance, however, in which Syaoran uses a card without his sword. Dash. He holds his two forefingers in front of his face while holding the card in his left hand.***

Ah, Syaoran is TOO cool!
And when he was doing all the practice moves in his room with the sword, that was awesome.

But...

I'd choose the staff. Yukito's staff in Tsubasa looks really cool.
Also Sakura's star wand is just really cute. :O)

And yeah, you could use it to fly if you had too.

OT: I saw a store online that sells wood swords for cosplay. One of those looked very similar to Syaoran's sword.

You don't need a staff anymore. You can have it on your back, remember?
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Ruby Chan on April 20 2005, 05:51 am
The staff is obsolete...sword and magic covers it all!
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Takeru on April 20 2005, 08:51 am
Swords are overrated. Nice for combat, not for spellmaking. And besides, the Sword[/color] card is a cheap weapon. I mean, you slash it, and its attack radius covers a huge distance. That's just freaking awesome.

I wonder if you can use it just for regular combat though... nothing too superpowerful.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: bLuetopaz on April 24 2005, 09:38 am
my choice will be Sakura's staff and preferably with the clow cards... *grinz*

Well, Kero said that the strength of the Sword Card is maximized by the will of the user or something like that.  Like, if you barely wanted to scratch somebody with it, the Sword Card would wound them, and if you wanted to wound them with it, then....so, it all depends on the will of the user.  I wonder what would happen if Shaoran had gotten the Sword Card....Would it make his sword even stronger?  Would it it extend the length of his sword?  Or would it give him two swords?
Title: Re: Weapon of choice

LOL... nah it would just make his sword 'harder' so to speak

it'd be sword because you can use as it is(slashing)
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: jovi206 on June 14 2005, 04:33 am
I would choose the staff because it can do so much magically.the sword is too bulky and anyway the sword just belongs to syaoran only he can master it well enough :hehe:

Yeah he is but i was talking about syaoran's particular sword for him not the big long one Kurogane uses.There is absolutely no doubt that Kurogane can master his sword.Anyhow i still choose the staff for all it can do.

Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: S. Espoire on June 14 2005, 01:23 pm
i think the staff but only if I'll be given all the clow/sakura cards and magical powers along with it. If that's asking too much then the sword is better. oh and don't bother to arrange it for me. I think I'll go and ask for it from syaoran myself. just tell me where to find him. :heh:
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: svr on June 15 2005, 11:26 pm
u can so much with a sword, lyk Sayaoron the can evoke the power of the cards with his sword... as well as without which makes him a very useful character... dont ya fink?
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: mallow on June 16 2005, 12:31 am
Of course the sword. I always like the way he used his talisman to summond the thunder, lighting, fire and wind. It is very different and unique from the shows which i watch where they used sword and talisman too. He reminds me of the hongkong tv series, 'I have a date with vampires'. Some how similar with the slayer ma xiao ling.

Off post: Cloud what do you need help in? Just PM some one about it and they will help you out. As you are new here maybe you should introduce yourself in the intro board.
And you shouldn't ask for help in such topics as then your post being offtopic will be deleted.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Eriol on June 21 2005, 05:27 pm
I also agree w/ that, I will back the topic: I really like the sword than the staff if you're getting very out of hand in battle!!!

There are many 2 kinds of swords can be used.Syaoran's sword is one-handed and easily lifted if you have quite strength and the Two-handed that mostly used some knights and crusaders in medival ages that really utter heavy enough to lift while the staff got also this.  :hehe:

Plus those kinds of lessons are really expensive.

I want... a spear! haha I have one already... and I like it cause it keeps the fresh feel of the close range slash and the neat short range stab :] lol but back to the topic... I would like syaoran's sword, it's just unbelievably cool!! ^_^ lol and you can use the charms too O_o along with stabbing the cards to use them haha [never really got why the sword went through the card O_O]

Personally, give me a morningstar or shruiken...now THOSE are weapons :)

If there are later, unwritten adventures of Sakura, she would have the ability to create new Sakura Cards so she can create "The Weapon" card, then my choice of morningstar would definitely come into play :D

sword into it to activate it looks awesome :inlove:

I'd go with sword. In all the online games I played, i'm always a swordsman   :lol:.
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Arcademan on September 29 2005, 04:28 am
Swords are nice but I'd still take a morningstar over them...better long-range attack weapon and does widespread damage on top of that :)
Title: Re: Weapon of choice
Post by: Kasawa Lanford on September 29 2005, 07:50 am
Forgive for going into detail here

For me, I'd go for a sword.

I've been trained while young (Started training with a sword at age 5) and I know how to use the thing, I also know how to use two sword's at once without causing harm to myself

But, other than sword, I would have to choose a staff as well for blunt damage, but for internal damage, I'll take a sword :)

Yeah!!I agree with that but still many countries never fade the lesson of the sword!! :okay:

The sword is a weapon of art.. it shouldn't be wielded by novices... thats why those new to the art often use a wooden sword

The same applys for Polearms.. a novice wouldn't know how to use it effectly without thus causing injury to thy self. Thats why they have a wooden pole

Ahh.... to be able to practice those arts... its just to bad my legs prevent me from doing that anymore *sigh and looks at the razor sharp sword he has on his desk*
