Must be you because they are regarded as the top tier weapons together with the kusarigama. I use nothing else once i get these 2. You can cheese master ninja because you are basically a walking invul frame...unlike -15 on block RyU in doa

Dual swords is top tier? Huh, I never knew, it's one of the 3 weapons I gloss over in all my playthroughs cuz i don't like how it feels (the other 2 being the vigorian flail and the tonfas)

But I agree with u on the kusarigama, that thing just turns you into a walking whirlwind of death

It takes a little time to get used to the weapons but it is indeed one of the best ones. From what I remember, Ryu's 360 triangle move with the dual katanas is an invincible move, well, it is in NG2, it is a really good move against some if not most bosses in the game, plus, Ryu using the TDS and the Blade of the Archfiend at the same time/together is very cool and it screams of power.

The tonfas are my worst weapons but pros rank them right behind the other 2. Kusari hard attack makes you invulnerable throughout all 4 spins too, that's how I played ult ninja in 3 lol. And the 360 sword spin has the added bonus of being a launcher if you hold the button, which means: Izuna vs non bosses all day long
