Am I a madman?

I have recently started playing Charge-blade because I always thought it was a cool looking weapon. Ever since World I only realy played SnS and Longsword. With the occasional DB in there.

I went for one practice run of CB in the training area and followed a quick guide on how to. Then I invited my wife to do a Tempered Arkveld as a testrun. She called me insane for using it as my test run but honestly I think CB in sword-mode feels allot like SnS. Just slower and a bit more complicated.

Am I realy insane for learning on Arkveld? I found it quite easy afterall.
