That's nice and dandy, but showing off your skills in the field of archery is not what I was aiming at. It's just a matter of taking out hostiles before they're close enough for you to smell them. You've got to be practical about these things.

Nah, just talking about her ability of using a knife.

Classy deaths are only classy if you use a pistol or a bow - much cleaner, the rapier makes a mess.

You know, some would find Gallade's abilities with a variety of deadly weapons combined with the fact that she's a teacher with not too much love for her students a bit troubling.

Also, I don't think a crossbow's fire rate could beat that of a trained archer with a bow.

It has more power, but that comes at a cost.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that I do not actively seek such situations. Also it should be noted that killing people is not a sport. I have other ways to deal with my violent tendencies. Legal ways, even.

A skilled archer with a straight or compound bow could probably hit first with comparable strength, yes. I imagine they could get two or three in with a recurve.
