User blog comment:BurnZ/Monster Hunter - Dual Swords or Long Sword in MHP3 or MH3?/@comment-1696682-20100413033223

There's a slightly longer delay after attacks with a Long Sword (or so it feels to me) that I can't roll out of, unlike say a Dual Blade. Sure, I need to get closer with the blades, but I can get outta sticky situations easier too. Vitality before Violence.

...Course, it doesn't really matter to me, I'm a Gunner all the way.
