(Musashi Miyamoto wrote several books and dozens of poems. All Samurai were of a class that allowed higher education many thousands became scholars so don't try fitting me with that stereo type. I even used one of the more famous ones for my point, though I will give you a few extra pounds on the Katana but it's still lighter than a Yari, and the heavier the blade the more force and momentum behind it. It's always a good thing to know of inertia.) Scholar, a yari had lesser weight per unit length. A katana roughly weighs about 2.64 pounds, a yari would only be a little bit more, but regarding the length of the weapon, that wouldn't really matter much, since it feels much lighter. Also, force equals weight and acceleration. We can't really determine the acceleration of the blades, so trying to argue that is a moot point. However, lets take some arbitrary numbers, and say; Katana: 2.64 pounds Meter/Second 2: 1 Yari: 3.00 pounds Meter/Second 2: 1 Force of Katana: 1.19 Newtons Force of Yari: 1.36 Newtons

Not to mention your Katana is substantially heavier than an average katana, and also a foot and a half longer. You're not going to be swinging it around as you are. its heavy, unbalanced heavy which makes it even heavier. You also don't have the reach that I do, and I'm not getting up in your shit to stab you with a Yari, as I've stated multiple times.

Maeda Toshiie was sick of the impossible movements this man was pulling, seemingly bending time space and the way a human moves to block his attacks. Hopping back a few feet, he pulled back the yari, and drove it forwards, out of range of any blocks that the man could pull. The Yari would fly from his hands with all the force his body had.
Letting go, he dropped his hand down the katana, a normal sized one and not out of Sephiroth's personal collection like this man's, at 2 and a half feet long. He launched himself after the yari, using it as a screen. Since the man would have to react to that, the stab that would come at his midsection would be impossible to block, unless he somehow had another katana, or moved at the speed of light.q

When the man hopped back Suehiro did the same. Staring at the man as he through the Yari, he could not block it but the distance between them allowed for him to dodge. After narrowly [NARROWLY since we aren't at point blank range anymore so it was doable without lightening powers] avoiding the Yari he saw the man trailing behind him. His blade was smaller than his. He was charging at his midsection, but the range distance of his blade was better. Suehiro used his blade to knock the Katana away while trying to move it in such a way that it's momentum propelled the blade to hit the Katana again. Suehiro then tried to move away from the man ready for any kind of counter attack.

The man misjudged how far back maeda was, and when he dodged, he really didn't have a chance. Since they were barely 12 feet apart when Maeda threw the yari, the distance it covered in the split second was faster than the man could ever hope to be. Since he had to chose whether to block the yari or the sword, the Yari bounced off his arm, cutting deeply (You can't move that fast, i'm sorry. You're also wearing no armor, so you should be losing an arm here, thank god I"m generous).
The man tried to move away, but unfortunately, that was not happening. The man's katana was huge, and unwieldy, and Maeda let his katana be knocked away, and with his current momentumm and inertia, coming to within the man's minimum range (A katana of 4 feet would have a minimum range of about 2, meaning within 2 feet your ability to fight is nearly impossible, due to its size and the strength needed to wield it). Maeda could easily bring his sword around, from having it knocked away, and brought it down in an over the head arc, the blade aiming directly at his head. Since the man had already been moving, Toshiie took this into account, and the sword would still land directly on his head, unless he was a master of time and space, again. His only hope would be to catch the blade by letting go of his own and holding it in his hands.
And this was impossible, so please don't try.

A baseball can be thrown up to 97 miles an hour, far faster than anyone can throw an Yari, and at twenty feet it is possible to avoid it... not entirely likely but entirely plausible. But I guess I should resign. I'm really not in the mood to argue all that much. Even if dodging a spear that is going far more slower than a baseball, probably only reaching 30 or 40 miles an hour. It isn't exactly a stream lined spear. But again my own tenancies are getting the better of me...
Suehiro realizing that the duel was lost fled from the scene running for help.

A javelin can be thrown at 28.3 m/sec on average. You're not moving anywhere near that fast, no matter how fast you think you possibly could be. Literally, you were tops 15 feet away. The Yari is 6 feet, roughly. He's hucking it as hard as possible, and at the extent of his arm, the tip of the Yari begins only about 12 feet away. I don't fucking care how fast you are, especially with an odd move as that, no one's going to be getting out of the way.
Then lets move onto your next post; you say you knock the sword away, and then it hit it again? How is that even possible? You're not even trying to fight me here, and I'm in close quarters. Knocking my sword away only pushes it behind me, while I continue moving forwards. Since you're trying to hit my sword, which is behind me, and a katana is not meant to be pulled back against soemone. The blade is duller, and the edge thicker, meaning its not effective against armor, which i'm wearing. Not to mention you didn't even try to do this.
Now, you're moving away. I'll admit you're probably faster than I am at a dead run, however our speeds, in such a small area, are roughly the same. Not to mention that now you're sword is realy behind me (Since its god awfully long), and you're trying to hit it after its already been it, its not far fetched for me to easily bring it from behind, up, and over and down, which is an effective technique for an enemy who is in a vulnerable position such as this.
Face it; you don't use enough description, you put way too many moves in a single post that invalidate your moves if one of them is broken, and you're not using weaponry or techniques that are feasible in an actual duel setting. Only reason i'm being an asshole now is because you don't fucking listen.
