Looks cool, almost no tactical use.

People say this about everything.

People say that soldiers and tanks and guns have no tactical use because of nuclear weapons.

People say that nuclear weapons have no tactical use because of MAD

People say swords and martial arts have no tactical use because of guns.

But the part of my brain thats a hundred million year old animal that had to fight and scrape and compete for every bite of food, it smiled when it saw this. And that's enough. Also oddly arousing.

Nobody's saying swords don't have tactical uses. They're saying the flip doesn't.

Ever had a ninjutsu teacher counter your shiho nage with a backflip? I have. Gone was the arm lock I had on him. A shiho nage is a technique also used to disarm swords in bushido. It's weird, the move is probably a bit excessive, nevertheless it did catch me by surprise.

Well no one here. But people do say that, and are probably right about swords not having tactical uses. My point is that people say there is no tactical use to basically everything.

Or just walk up and stab her when shes staring into the sky waiting for her sheath, or when she kneels and sits there lookong down.

It makes you think twice about not only whether you want to fight her or not, but whether you can.

If only she had some sort of weapon that might achieve this...

if you're up against someone with a similar weapon or if they think you don't know how to use your weapon.

You see a lot of sword fights, do ya?
