I've been using it recently - here are my opinions: The charge attack on this weapon is really weak but it's almost always a guaranteed knockdown which you can now follow up with a deadly ground finisher. The aoe on it's jump attack is also very nice for a short range weapon and the flip kick from the dash also knocks enemies down. Basically it's a knockdown > ground finisher beast that happens to have really quick strong regular attacks too. The additional arc of your kicks makes it easier to hit enemies in front of you and the charge attack is so fast that it can be used to get single targets out of your face.

Furax has a much stronger charge attack but it's linear and difficult to aim. People seem to like the uppercut running attack more than the Kogake's flip, but I believe the flip is technically superior due to having a better hitbox (two of them actually as opposed to just the one)

they both do the same amount of damage with single hits but Kogake has more range, faster attack speed (only slightly) and a much faster but weaker charge attack. Kogake also hits more times per attack as some punches hit twice in one swing.

In the end, I guess it depends on whether you want to use charge attacks or spam light hits more often. Kogake also has a sick wall attack, but you probably won't be using it much.
