Specially for parring an attack , using a sweeping motion, to deflect the oncomming sword away , then that leaves the lighter weapon more room to manuver. This making the katana less inferior by far. It is not the steel strength... it is the weilder of the weapon that makes the difference.
Yeah, that kind of just slipped out. I'm tired of people assuming that "Katanas are OMFG THE GRETEST SORD IN THE UNIVERS TEHY CAN CUT THREW ROCKS AND STOP BULLETS!". Result of spending six years of my life as an anime fan before they started pissing me off more than usual (hence why I stick to video games now).
It's... kinda like one of my berserk buttons. That and I just prefer a good arming sword or zweihander any day.
