My first Castlevania experiance was Simons Quest so I have to go with whips. I remember it took me forever to get the flame whip as a kid.

You played as Sonja Belmont in Castlevania Legends for the Gameboy.

Agree, That sword had exreme range, and fast swing too. That powerful spear(damn, I forgot the name), had a great range as well, but you only attacked in the straigh motion forward.

Ah, yeah, that's the Ronginus' Spear. Good thing I have the GBA handy to check these weapon names... :)
