Sword or Bow

[Yggdrasil]

If you were surrounded (close and long range) and only had one which one would it be?

For me it would be the sword since I can't aim and the close people will arrive first.

[Jim Van]

Sword. All I need are my arms and a steel extension.

[Choby]

Sword. I can block arrows and kill everyone without the reload time.

[Syn]

It really depends... I mean, most Archers will have a small sword or two to defend against close range attacks. What I'd do is use that sword to knock down the nearby enemies, Snipe the far away ones, and finish off the close range.

[Yggdrasil]

Good point but some of us can't aim. can you? If you can then all the power to you.

[Choby]

I can aim damn good... I finished first at bow competitions

But I think if you specialize in bows theres a good chance that you wont be good enough to push the close-range guys off...

[Syn]

That's the thing. You just need to stun them, knocking them to the ground even. After finishing off the long rangers, you'd use your bow to aim an arrow in the middle of the other guy's face.

[Yggdrasil]

Yeah but what I meant was like it was a last stand and you guys were up against too many too fight and win and you just wanted to take as many with you as posible. sry for not saying that earlier. also there would be at least 100 thousand against just you (to put a number on it) and you can't use magic because of some wizards out of your range was blocking all spells.

[Choby]

OH THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!

I'd take a crazy bow and just kill the *part got CENS'RD*ing wizard. That way Syn and y'all could use your magic and kill them all

[Jim Van]

I'd choose a sword. Still. A Sephiroth style, super long sword! =D

[Syn]

If it's a life or death battle, I'd go for a sword. Of course, I'd always have the Biosteel Edge, so I'd have all sorts of swords in my arsenal. However, I may be pushing a bit when I say that Techniques may not be blocked. If they aren't, a few Chaos Arts would help out, especially a nice explosion to take out a few close range units.

If they were blocked, then I'd just rush to one of the wizards, killing anything in my way, and then beat him up.

[Yggdrasil]

weapons arts are not blocked but the wizard is too far for even an orbital railgun to take out. and its not life or death its how many you can take with you since there is too many to fight and win. but I would still use a sword and start ripping off Kimimaro's attacks and acrobatic skills, just not his ability.

[Choby]

Oh well if there's no way to kill teh wizards blocking me... I wouldn't take any, I'd beat them all up in martial arts.
