Swords: Longswords are some of the best ones to have around due to the fact that it presents many options of attack. Has the weight behind it factoring into power and even has the wider blade. The Tachi has the issue of the katana when it was also compared against chainmail and even have the issue of having to face plate. Its essentially going to take plenty of power or having to focus on an entirely different area to attack just to do any damage in combat. Neither is really great for horseback combat, but the longsword is better since swinging with one hand with a Tachi is going to be ineffective as hell. EDGE: El Cid

Polearm: Another problem with Tomoe's weapons right off the bat, if this match starts on horseback, the Naginata is going to be not so good once more. Its lack of a real point means it only works as a slashing weapon. The Voulge has the better overall design for both horseback, forcing a rider off or even ground combat. Its design is more effective against armor and can be used for chopping, slashing or thrusting depending on the axe head being used. EDGE: El Cid
