    Knight would obviously win that. Samurai would be torn apart. There weapons and armor couldnt match the knights design. Samurai armor would be wrecked by the blunt force trauma knight believed in. Samurais sword while superior quality would have no effect being a slashing weapon. Then the european destrier against samurais steeds (if they even had one), they would be bowled over. Finally sure samurai has a bow but it probably wouldnt be effective enough.

    My moneys on the knight in plate armor wielding a spiked morningstar.

    i almost guarantee they give it to the samurai because he can meditate.

    True, but






    Sorry, it is that is still amusing, even if what you said in the post I quoted is entirely true. And Heavens forbid The Wizard posts in the EB Forum...

    In a shocking twist, it was Viking vs. Samurai, for reasons that could only be attributed to an attraction to the mystic of the East and an interest in big flipping axes.
    all that depends is whether that big honking axe makes contact.

    By the way husar that's a really good essay. im thoroughly enjoying it

    so you guys get different episodes in europe?

    No, but our TV stations sooner or later copy everything bad from America, Britain etc.
    We had a show called "Galileo" that was like a documentary about different topics etc. Now it's, well it does comparisons like this etc. and they added a show called "Galileo Mystery" around the time the Da Vinci Code was the newest shizzle.

    On a different channel they had a show called "Quarks & Co." and that was rather "dry" treachings about physics with professors going through all the maths etc. Nowadays it's more like a documentary with a moderator as well but they still seem to reasearch their topics well, so I like it.

    the Deadliest Warrior is the one who catches the opponent by surprise.

    Because the concept is SOOOOO good, and it is the ONLY one of its type. Just keep hoping for a good one, and keep getting disappointed.
    Of course there is also the entertainment value. There is no denying that it is a very entertaining show to watch. That is not what people get mad about though, it is the historical inaccuracy.

    I just started watching this show after having told myself i never would.

    Some things do leave you going huh but its entertainment and thats how i take it.

    The people you guys should be getting mad at about some of the weapons matchups are the "experts" who seem to be the ones that get to pick their sides arsenal.

    That's my boy!

    Well, they did that here and the Samurai won IIRC, I think he could get through the obstacle course faster and when hung onto a puppet his armour could withstand an arrow.
    Then again knight is not knight, the first armoured riders of the Franks were certainly different from the knights in the first crusade and the ones with plate armour.
    Did I already mention that someone posted a good comparison by a guy who knows a lot about swordfighting?

    I guess it was this one: http://www.thearma.org/essays/knightvs.htm (incidentally the first google result)
