A Katana, it has excellent reach, speed and power, if you know how.

Do you mean that the balance between these three is excellent in a katana? Because if you look only at the reach, it isn't spectacular, in fact it is just like any other longsword. Speed isn't it's main attribute either. It is very strong however, and shows a nice trade-off between many variables.

Crossbows really pack a punch, plus thier more accurate than a bow and arrow. If I was in a close quater combat I would choose spear.


better not get too close with that spear or my claymore will mess you up.

Katana or Ballista. I am also a fan of the trebuchet.

Do you mean a halberd? Look here:

And the grim reapers weapon is called a Scythe: Its funny because its is used for reaping and hes the grim reaper? Hes probably based on his weapon See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythe

Shinobi straight single-edged swords are ideal, as well as German-forged daggers.

my favorite weapon is definitely the hidden blade (assassin's creed).
see: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_blade

this weapon is deadly!

plus, no matter what other weapon you have, you will not know you are attacked until its too late.

I'm talking about combos. Power can come from one powerful single swipe of the blade, or, can come in 5 swipes in 3 seconds. Basically, if you were a ninja, you wouldn't have a problem handling a katana like an expert. Katana can sift from great power to great speed, but not both at the same time. It's reach isn't all that important, if you rush like a maniac, which most people with katanas did that time. And it looks nice too


Don't you mean samurai?

I basically like most long swords and bows. One of my favorite weapons has to be the Templar Knights' great sword. My favorite bows would be the bows that the Mongols used under Genghis Khan.

Lances are also awesome, when mounted of course.
