IS: Infinite Stratos

[Buffalobiian]

Question: why do you think that his weapon is useless for the IS-sport and meant for hurting people?

its a shield nullifying sword right?
he can pierce his enemy shield -> shield pierced = zero shieldpoints -> he is the winner with

From my understanding, it's a shield bypassing sword.

Take a hit = full shield, dead pilot.


Edit: No, you're right. The explanation does use "nullifying". For some reason, I thought it was the above ^.

In light of that, it does work (and very well) in sport - but still very dangerous. That is unless you have the control (and the technology works in a way that will allow you) to slash into the "energy field" to nullify it, but not contact the enemy.
