[quote=LeeRoy] Okay, let's just say this is a hypothetical situation. You have the perfect amount of strength to pierce and cut through human bone and flesh with ease. Alright.If you stab them with a spear or sword, stabbing motion. You're thrusting it into them, and probably out the back. BUT, once the flesh meets the hilt, the forward movement stops. Because it has nowhere to go.NOWIf you swing your blade in a slicing motion, axe/sword/halberd/whatever, your blade has nowhere to stop if you can go clean through them. So if you swing it, it'll cleave them in two. And it won't stop until you make it stop. [/quote] Well, that's assuming the foe is unarmored. Things become more complicated once you factor in protective measures, and even more odd once you throw in the nature of the protective measures (such as the material that they're made from or the angle of the attack). I'm pretty sure a lot of personnel armor, specifically plate armor, has angled and rounded surfaces that help to not only stop slicing hits, but to also deflect them. For some reason, WWII-era sloped tank armor (like on the T-34 or the Panther tank) comes to mind. [quote=MelonHead] Only Forsoff has that power. [/quote] What.
