this info might be helpful to some. I modified a list from a NGB moves list. most moves are in tact on the demo without need for the normal upgrade procedures required for certain moves in the full game. Pics taken straight off my HDTV with my old camera.
BTW, I'm now ranked #38 on Very Hard and #48 on Hard. :D
Dragon Sword/True Dragon Sword
The best weapon in the game in terms of overall balance. It's quick, powerful, and has the best combos once all levels are unlocked. It's also the only weapon that gets a bonus upgrade during the story. Never a bad choice.

Lunar
The Lunar is a devastating weapon with longer combos than the sword but more strength then the nunchucks or the flails. The best reasons to keep this weapon handy are its charge attack and incredible range. Holding [TRIANGLE] will charge the staff twice and release Ryu's hurricane attack. Not only does this dole out huge amounts of damage, but even after one charge Ryu will benefit from a lengthy period of invincibility while in the hurricane.

Dabilahro
The mighty sword is much mightier when fully upgraded. This is a better choice for a heavy attack than the War Hammer, plus it looks cool. This is one of the best items you can receive.

Nunchaku
This non-upgradeable weapon is fast and cool to use, but isn't very practical. There is a far better weapon with similar (but more deadlY) properties. This one's for nostalgic purposes only.
