Hi guys!

none of them is bether then the other ;)

Katani = fast(spam) low reach, medium damage
Nodachi = slow, good reach, good damage, no stab
The demons are falsehood. They are the  taken shape of lies, which were given power by the chaos.

You should buy the katana, it will teach you how to block good because of its lower reach, if you already know that go for the nondachi: higher reach, better damadge. Spam is useless on any half decent oponent

Defy me, and you will know what it is to stand against a god.

Swing twice before they can swing back after a block.
And it is very, very possible with proper footwork; weapon hardly matters for it though. Opponents using Unbalanced weapons are easier to spam, since they take longer to recover from blocks.
"oh, my opponent has an unbalanced weapon! Express ticket to spam town!" 1 second later, you get a kill when they think they can swing back at you. If you do it right. And No, I am not telling you how because I despise it.
If you play NA you can watch Castor, grey [formerly knows as guts], Cyranule or a few others do a guaranteed double-swing spam footwork technique. If you don't pay full attention to the subtle footwork while blocking, you'll lose the duel.
