Pros:
Can Bhop whilst having it ready to attack any second.
It doesn't slow you down like it does in knife matches.

Cons:
It has a slow attack.
It can take up to 3 slashes sometimes to kill someone at full HP.

There's probably more, but I've not used it much. Note that you'll be getting more opinions then facts.

Exactly this. In only knife matches you're pretty much screwed with it :

1. You don't really have the option to slash someone, because the enemy can easily stab or give you a hadshot until you slash 2-3 times.

2. So you have the only option to right click (stab) him.
In this situation you have to get lucky against pro knifer.

Situation :

A (you) is holding the katana with the right click and you're prepared t attack.

B (enemy) runs towards you, but in the moment when A thinks B comes directly towards him and A starts to attack him, B just goes a step backwards and then A is pretty much dead.

I bough it and I've hated it in knife only matches but In gm I've been doing very good with it. How high Is It in gm? What are the pros and cons?

hmmm, let see: a ninja weapon in a stealth game
Btw, you can easy make 80 kills on 12min game on arena if:
you don't slash like the noobs do with axe, you don't rush like you do it with a shovel and you will use in the right moment, you must try to use the left hand atack from 1 move, don't keep your finger on click, if you hold you will walk really slow (in gm you don't have problem)

The problem wih the katana in GM is the same as in every other mode : it's too heavy. You'll have trouble starting your hops, and if there are good GR players, they'll instantly kill you when you fail your hop. Other than that, it's not a good melee when there's a lot of enemies in a small place.

It seems pretty good for GM but for me personally it is impossible to use with mt control setup.

axe > all

You'll be b-hopping slow and one mistake will cost you your life if you're up against half decent players. Honestly, it's awful in GM.

Normally the axe is the most greatest BL weapons for GM

wrong, kukri is, kukri is the most OP melee weapon out that a ghost can use.

-easy right click timing
-fast bhops
-1 hit right click anywhere
-does like minimum of 60 damage left click
-pretty silent slashes

No, use axe.

for me i will use Kukri.

Depends on the situations. If you play against noobs that don't PP, run around and don't pay attention to sound. Then it it's one of the best because you can just camp and hold right click until you bhop to them, or they run to you. I also find it easier to clutch with (if you pick off the opponents 1 by 1).

If you play against pinpointers like VATAV, then it'll get you killed because your bhopping will be really slow. And if you miss, then you're screwed because the recover and reswing takes forever =.=

Exactly, but yeah, you're fine for the most part since a really small amount of people know how the game works and that you can actually hear ghosts.

This.. People should use headphones..
As I started to use headphones last summer - hale julia -
I started to love GM.

Against a skilled Pin-Pointer, katana is very hard to use.
The shear weight of it makes b hops very slow and short, making you much easier to find for Pin-Pointers. The weak and slow primary attack is completely useless, the secondary attack starting unsheathed is faster at killing.

The only good thing about it is that it has the longest reach of all other melee weapons.
But very rarely does that reach come into play. It barely better then knife, but even that is arguable.

Still, I use it because I'm a masochist when it comes to playing video games.

Vatav may be right for the thing with the range, because I haven't tested Kazana's range yet. Knife, Shovel,Axe, Kukri have the same range.

Here I mean the range directly towards the enemy and not the range when it hits the body. (the space it hits the whole body)

But I doubt the Katana has more range. All melees have (Kris too btw)
a range from 3,4 - 3,5 meters. But I will test it again more seriously.
