Just woke up and I'm grumpy, so I'm gonna be that guy.The whole "lighter weapons swing faster" thing is a myth anyway (to an extent, a dagger and a claymore are two entirely different beasts). The difference in swing speed between two weapons is so minute as to be inconsequential. The biggest difference is in how much energy it takes for somebody to move the weapon at that speed and how maneuverable it is. But those two variables can also be mitigated with good technique.

This is true. I guess what I meant is, in flashbacks and the like, I've shown that Cub has only ever used a hammer and the only way to use a hammer effectively is momentum. where swords can pierce and parry and axes can cleave and disarm, stopping a hammer is dangerous and getting it started again takes time. Keeping that in mind, Cub would find a sword to be easier to start and stop and thus it's easier to get from zero to sixty, dig?
