Just pick among the 29 gem weapons that can be bought at the shop in normal SF2.
I have a feeling that people will most likely vote on the Pneumo Fists in the first poll especially since the Composite Sword is considered to be overrated

Well, not everyone knows the full potential of Pneumo Fists, some also thinks Composite Sword is the perfect weapon to defeat Titan till this day.
Best: Pneumo Fists. High damage, quick, and very easy for Head hits. They're a beast once mastered.
Worst: Two-handed Cudgel. Slow and require perfect timing, so-so enchantment, very difficult to be mastered. Overall, just not worth it IMO.
Voted! Reasons
Worst gem wep 100% plasma rifle expensive as crap oh and that gets to my second point: its bullcrap i hate it more than nunchucks god damnit it hate youyeah it suxs
best gem wep #blaste tonfas fo lyfe
Voted :)
Best - Ornamental Sabers. Yes I'm aware of the Oriental Sabers but these are so much cooler, especially in design xD
Worse - Two handed Cudgel. Picked this since we can only pick one otherwise it's a tie between the Cudgel and Devastator. I absolutely do not like heavy weapons in SF2 and would never spend gems on them (except Scythes). They're way too slow for my playstyle.
Best - Pneumo Fists. In my opinion, this is pretty much the only gem weapon which is useful to me. Enchanting the weapon with Frenzy + Tempest Rage makes this weapon a powerful choice for raids.
Worst - Devastator. I can't really decide which among the gem weapons are the absolute worst but I'll just say that any gem weapon without an original attack is bad (I mean any gem weapon with attacks that can all be tried in at least one standard weapon/challenger weapon/boss weapon) because there's little point in getting them when you can get a standard weapon equipped with the same attacks. Some examples of these unoriginal gem weapons are Blood Reaper, Imhotep Pounders, Harrier Hooks, Shuang Gou, The Sting, Devastator, Sapphire Fang, Coral Prickles, Staff of Night, Silver Glaive, Harbinger Sai, Katars, Ornamental Sabers, Daisho, Leeches, Dragon Teeth, Flayer Claws, Emerald Cutters.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I personally think the Devastator is the worst.
Well, that's like... 62% of gem weapons in this game. One of their selling point is, their designs are cool. Some may ignores the unoriginal moves thing, since their looks alone are enough to attract some players.
Some with unique attacks are not really outstanding as well, like Big Swords and the dreaded Cudgel. Only Ninja Sword I deems worth a try, and Act 7 gem weapons that is not Plasma Rifle.
Frankly, I'd rather stick with Boss Weapons, Challenger Weapons and Monk's Katars for the whole game. Like Anon said, design is the only thing that I like about gem weapons. But gimme Monk's Katars any day and I won't even look at other weapons when it comes to fights.
Beat weapon is pneumo fists.Its super fast and with frenzy opponent doesn't stand a chance Worst weapon is two handed cudgel.Plus.weakness???
I've been using the Blood Reaper for weeks and it's mostly worked out for me. Otherwise, I use the Shuang Guo/Harrier Hooks or the cute lil' twisty daggers Mountain uses, because of the sheer amount of combo ehehe (they are called krises)
But seriously, I'm only on Lvl 13 and a half. So. The Sting's not bad. Dissector's useless. The Devastor looks useless. (I'm playing a hacked version, so I can use all the special-edition weapons) I really like the look of Pain and Panic though, they're pretty neat and deal some nice moves.
Sapphire Fang? Ugh. Why. At least it's got the bomb thing.
I personally think the award for "most unoriginal name" goes to the Level-15 big swords, adequately named "Big Swords".
I'll have a look at the "Two-Handed Cudgel" everyone hates...
OH GOD SPARE ME. HORRID. ONLY A MUSHROOM WOULD DARE USE THIS.
And yes, I know this page is several months old. Just my (slightly sarcastic) opinion.
