Which weapon do you prefer? Also, keep in mind that this doesn't just mean pure numbers, but also the story behind each one. (Should you really give up the blade, with such meaning, to someone else?)

This entire page is basically one giant spoiler.

There really isn't any need to say that this is a spoiler, considering pretty much everybody here has fully beat Cave Story numerous times before.

I know, but spoilers just flat out suck. Everyone hates them, and with a game like Cave Story, It'd be a shame if someone got spoiled.

The blade level 2 has the best DPS in the game, and is great for hell speedruns, so my vote goes to that. (Also you get both weapons with Curly's nemesis.)

Nemesis, definitely. Blade 2 is good for getting up close and personal with bosses, but otherwise I don't find much use for it. The Nemesis I find is much better for getting through areas in general, and really it's far from bad against bosses. The main issue is obviously trying to avoid experience, but with the range it has that shouldn't be an issue.

Well, to be honest, in this thread I was hoping more for a discussion about if you should swap the blade for the nemesis. I mean, King friggin' went and DIED and gave you a sword with his soul in it, so is it okay to just give to someone else?
I don't mean to discourage practical use, but I was hoping for more of the above.
I say the blade, because King's soul rests in it and he gave it to you as his dying action.
Avoiding crystals for me kills the nemesis, and the blade is powerful in all its stages.

"Pummelator" kinda implies that you are attacking with your fists. Look up the meaning of the word "pummel".

I know, but the Blade is the closest thing to that in CS.

I prefer the Nemesis, only because I mostly do the different challenges like the Boss Rush and Hell Run.

Though I like the Blade's backstory more; When I'm speed-running the ENTIRE game, then I prefer the Blade, also the Blade at Lv 2 is the best weapon for spamming, but getting Exp during some boss fights is difficult.
