I would have to disagree with you there. It's first of all extremly rare, it doesn't have any forward step slash, like the two-handed R2 of the Longsword and, finally, it quickly loses to the Longsword if you level Strength.

Quality and Strength builds would have little to no reason, bar the moveset, to use the Balder Side Sword. The R2 of the Longsword is also, in most cases, easier to follow up with another attack, than the BSS's R2, due to much lower ending lag.

As always, it's down to personal opinion, in the end. But the BSS can easily find its match in a Longsword.
