- Where did he find the blade in the first place? As far as I know, there are no shops other than that one in the Labyrinth in Cave Story, but yet, King was probably never down there.

- Why is his soul encased in the blade? I know he loved that blade, but putting his soul in it...?

- Why is it more powerful at level 2 than level 3?

-doesn't it feel a bit like, Arthur left it for him?

-Well, he died holding that thing, so automatically he became the blade.

-Level 3 is actually more powerful. It's auto-multi-targeted, locks the target by a split second, which is something (maybe I'm making things up) and has a higher range than Level 2, plus the multi direction effects just now, so it is most powerful most of the time. Just that you're too concerned about bosses that it feels less powerful. I think




And I'm not really confident of my points up here, like some might be acceptable and some not, like point 1 and 2 surely can't be simultaneously correct.

Where does anyone get anything? Clearly, there were other businesses and a functioning economy before the doctor got there and started kidnapping or killing everyone.

As for why his soul appears in the blade, he entrusted it to you avenge his death and that of Toroko, with his dying breath. Why shouldn't it carry a symbolic piece of him?

As for why level 2 is (arguably) more powerful, that's not a plot thing, that's an oversight in gameplay balancing.

i think if arthur gave it to him, if he wanted you to avenge him (king) his spirit could still be in it.

Actually it is because lvl2 is more powerful spammed at close range but isn't all that powerful at long range, and is only good against one enemy. Blade lvl3 works efficiently at both short and long range and against multiple targets, but doesn't pull off as much damage per second as the lvl2 blade spammed at close range. Blade lvl1 has the longest range but lacks the power of the lvl2 and lvl3 blades.

So if it is multiple targets, then use the lvl3 blade, else use the lvl2 blade at close range.

There were probably shops around before the Doctor invaded.

I think when he died, his sprite vanished and was replaced by the Blade.

Maybe he became the Blade! Or he probably infused the Blade with his soul.
- Why is it more powerful at level 2 than level 3?
Because King can get pushed down easily by Toroko.

So naturally, King weakened the Blade. :D

Caught him by surprise?

Twice?

Which means King has very weak perceptive abilities then?

I thought all cool guys go "THE SAME THING WON'T WORK ON ME TWICE!"

Duhhh! He and Aurthur were both ninja assassins at one point. You guys should know that. And besides maybe he got the blade special order from the gunsmith.

King got his blade from Arthur, who found it in/near a lake somewhere on the island.

Because King Arthur got his sword Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake! :eek:

...Of course, that likely doesn't apply here. Oh well. Maybe Arthur even made his own sword!

King can't be ninja because he does not wear any cool ninja clothes. Arthur made his own sword. Also, during the war, Quote wielded a battle-axe.

Why, because I made a theory about something that has no real answer.

Well said, but I also said special order, that usually means that it is not what is usually made. Make sense? If not, thats ok.Thats why its a theory.

I wouldn't call it a theory. I'd call it a hypothesis. :eek:
