These.

They are wielded lighter than a broadsword and as such, are used more for thrusts and dueling than for hacking and slashing.

The épée is also the kind of sword used in fencing.

I thought those were called Rapiers....

They are. The épée is just a modern descendent of the rapier used for fencing.

Either way, I see Rarity using a dueling sword like that because she's of such a high class she wouldn't want to lower herself to the brutish nature of broadswords.
But if you piss her off, that fabulous rapier of hers will hurt more than any broadsword. Because Rarity is awesome.

Rarity don't need a sword :p

I don't think it will, since they clearly showed the portal between the human world and Equestria permanently close. When human Pinkie Pie (or whatever her name is) tried following Twilight in, she just went face first into a mirror.

Oh those, yeah i can definitely see her using one of those.
But Sentai warriors always have weapons, is better, MUCH BETTER!

Not necessarily. GekiViolet didn't use a weapon, for example, and he was awesome :p
(And I just really, really love that gif :lol)

The only one i can see using her fists over her weapon most of the time is Applejack.
