Shocking news: Big cumbersome offense-oriented zweihander not good against evasion oriented rapier murder ghost.

Up next: Does Smitty do something dumb and dangerous with his power because George got hurt? Stay tuned.

[ ] Long sword
[ ] Big sword

For what it's worth, that style of basket-hilted broadsword has also been called 'claymore'. Sword nomenclature can be weird like that.

There's ghosts in the trainyard near the start of the game, but they aren't very murdery. Gi Nattak in Cosmo Canyon is very murdery though.

Yeah I'm not much of a DMC fan, but Alastor is redeemed by being so great in Viewtiful Joe. He canonically is Dante's sword, according to a few lines of dialogue.

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
Just saw this on the ask blog:

Abaddon posted:

I’m hoping to finish book 3 (the current book) by the end of 2017, then we have probably book 4 which deals with solomon and white chain, then book 5 (Breaker of Infinities) which kind of wraps things up. I’d say we’re comfortably in act 2 at this point, maybe about 30-40% done with the whole thing. Act 3 will probably start at the end of book 4. I have a very clear picture of how this whole thing ends and where it’s going and I’m fully committed to finishing it.

Nice to have a timeframe and to know K6BD won't become an intolerable slog like some other webcomics, but sad about knowing we've only got 60-70% of the comic to go.

This entire adventure has been about buying time with one dirty trick after another, they can only surprise the insane murderghost so many times before she adjusts and kills them all.

I realized that George is using Smitty's order powers to help her zip around but Jeanne can see those rainbow threads. And she can cut them. Suddenly I'm fearful for what will happen. :ohdear:

No she's not. She can teleport wherever she wants. Smitty uses his power to subconsciously predict when she'll appear in front of him.
