Alright, I've been reading all your posts about weaponry and the peoples "Real Weapon.." but just for the sake of it, I'm going to toss something into the air and see where this discussion lands.....
What if the characters -don't- have a set weapon as -their- weapon.
No one has confirmed that characters have weapons they call their own.. like in MK: DA, instead.. we're getting Boon talking about multiple weapons, in the stage.
Here's a thought.
The characters don't have a weapon that is designated as "theirs", instead, they can readly grab a weapon that is ALREADY accessable from within the level, and use the training style they have designated for the character.
Every characters "weapon fighting style" would be different as the character would have different training... of course. :].
Think of the rammifications if this little.. assumption / thought could be true.
