I know fantasy swords are all the rage, but I need something a little longer.
post about polearms you like, characters that have fun polearm combat, and famous named weapons that you'd call a spear.
give me those popular polearms, those holy halberds. those nifty naginatas, those charming Qiang, those legendary lances, those pristine pikes, just let me have em.

I love polearms but the only ones that come to mind in myth that are commonplace in games I see are:
gae bolg
gugnir
longinus

name ones that are unique iconic weapons... I'll start with the most obvious I can think of, the weapon named after the person who never touched it outside the Saturn release.

kain gets 2 weapons in dissidia 012 called able's lance and highwind. they are pretty alright.
if i can find any good ones, i'll post about them.
 
Hell yeah! I make half my soul 6 customs after her, I was so sad not only wasn't in 5, but had no "next generation" character.

I think Ables lance was his ultimate weapon they added in all ports of 4
 
i looked up Seong mina's weapon. it's her default weapon with no special effects or abilities. it's also one of the few consistent weapons that she gets to use in each game that she's in.

soul calibur 5 was extremely rushed and only had 25% of its planned content in it. Raphael is apparently nightmare in that game. it's never explained but you can see him in the suit in the character editor.
 
The Brionac "Judith's lance" from tales of Vesperia:

You get it almost at the end the game but is a very good weapon to use in the endgame.
 
Ornstein is based as heck. a giant armored knight with lightning powers who uses an ornate spear? feels catered to me specifically!

what is Momiji from? I'm less familiar.
i think dead or alive. i've seen her in the volleyball games.
then again, i was convince rio was a dead or alive character, but she is from a different series, apparently.

She is in Dead or Alive but I know her from the Ninja Gaiden Series. Specifically 2 and 3.
 
goku's power pole. that's another well renowned one.
and the zodiac spear in FFXII.

OBJECTION!!! it is a pole! not a polearm! no blade! no deal!

I never went for that, but I did have Vaan be an Uhlan the whole game to make sure to see him using a spear the whole time. It's kinda funny they made it a new named class because of the lack of jumping... not like having no dragon to ride from 4 onwards warranted a new name.

Never played that! but I like the design!

Momiji's from Ninja Gaiden, debuted in NG Dragon Sword but didn't get the naginata until NG Sigma 2.

i don't think polearms have to have blades, but i'm going off of some vague memories from playing soul calibur. i main link, nightmare, and Siegfried.
i did some checking, polearms are supposed to have blades of some sort on them. they can vary in shape or size.
i must have been thinking about the polearms in ff12. most of those don't have a blade on the end; usually there is just a blunt object on the end.
