User blog comment:BurnZ/Monster Hunter - Dual Swords or Long Sword in MHP3 or MH3?/@comment-1914437-20100414232710

I could never get used to Dual Swords due to the urge to rush with them, or maybe that's just me, but I always wanted to use demonization with them and just attack furiously. With a Long Sword I found an ability to be cautious and attack sparingly, simply using the poke attack then backjump attack or maybe the poke-upward slice then backjump. I didn't get hit as much so I will have to say that I favor Long Swords more, but even then I find Great Swords to be far superior.
