I briefly mentioned a few days ago that I was going to pull all of my in-world Wave Katana vendors in preparation for an update combined with switching to networked vendors. What I didn’t count on, though, was that I was going to run into an RL emergency situation yesterday evening that was going to take me days to recover from.
So at the moment there are no Wave Katana vendors in-world - unless I missed some, which is certainly possible - and likely there won’t be for another day or two.
Not that I expect this to be much of an inconvenience to anyone, I’m just putting the information out that I didn’t anticipate this delay and will put the vendors out again as soon as I’m able.

I spent some time talking to Malachi today, and with his assistance I was finally able to reproduce the problem he’s having. It would appear that the timing necessary to successfully do two consecutive aerial kicks is just natural for me, which is why I couldn’t reproduce it before, but I’ve got it now.
After a little more exploration of the timing, and combining the idea that Aimee came up with for a HUD that displays which keys you are using at the time, I thought I’d throw together some quick little video captures of what the timing on the Taketori is like.
In these videos, you will notice that I can hit W very fast, and while the W slash is still "in progress", I can simply press and hold the next attack key and wait for it to fire off when the W slash is done. It’s possible to chain attacks like this for very long combos if desired, and you can still break the chain to go into block at any time.
Sorry about the poor video quality and choppiness, I still don’t really know how to capture video from Second Life. I did slow them down intentionally (and some browsers play them even slower than that), so if you’ve just come across my site randomly and aren’t already using a C:SI sword, please don’t think they are actually this slow 
I’m still trying to figure out the best way to resolve Malachi’s issue, as I think it has implications for some of the other issues that have been reported, but I think it also helps if people know what to expect with the Taketori, and hopefully the above videos will help to demonstrate that.

I just released an update to the Taketori Katana that addresses some very important issues that have been reported since the initial release.
While it doesn’t address every issue that has been reported by customers, some of which I cannot seem to reproduce, the issues that are addressed were important enough to send an immediate update.
As I said last night, I am not trying to spam people or be annoying, but I really do feel that it is important to get this update out right away.
Please let me know if you have any problems with this update, and I will do my best to get them fixed.

Seriously, I’m not trying to be annoying…. First I put the wrong sheath in the update… Then I crashed while updating the update server… Then I crashed AGAIN while updating the update server…
So if you got 15 updates of the Taketori Katana, I am SINCERELY sorry!!!
