User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Longswords/@comment-5020152-20121119014006

1) My favorite Longswords in MH3 and MHFU are the Dancing Flame (Agnaktor), Guan Dao (Jhen Mohran), True Devil Slicer (??), Hidden Saber (Nargacuga) and Fire Dragonsword (Lao-Shan).

2) I'd encorporate the weapon sheath into the fight, allowing you to block with it.

3) I've only played MH3 and MHFU. They're equally good in both games, although I tend to use the LS more in the MHFU.
