Meh, Longsword is still better.

We got Sunder attacks, and good range. The enemy gets away? Strong attack to catch them up. Aerial attacks aren't so bad either. Damage is more than enough.

The frames of each attack combined with the frames necesary to deploy a shield are short enough to allow a quick block after 1-2 hits. And there are times where it's much better to block than evade (Stupid Borg Cammlan and that fucking stupid tail spin...).

Thanks to Impulse Edge, we also got Crush attacks like Buster Swords do, without the long charging attack. We just waste 1-hit's worth of OP and fire that bomb or radial. Surprisingly strong. So even if Sunder doesn't work, Crush does, and as such I can still win.

And if we need pierce, we use guns. Sure, your Short Sword has stabs, but these pale compared to a good barrage of shots.

In other words, we can do eeeeeevrythiiiiing. Everything you can do, I can do more.
