samurai vs spartan

Samurai, primarily because of the katana. A fine-edged steel long sword against bronze armor, and bronze swords ... sorry, but the Spartans would be disarmed in a hurry. Their shields were also wooden, with a plate of bronze laid on over it.

The samurai's weaponry alone would carry the day, as bronze weapons don't stand a chance against iron; let alone steel.

I second that.

But for me it's a toss up.

Most Samurai "battles" only lasted a few seconds, were the two opponents would run at each other and do one or two slashes at critical points of the enemies body, defeating him. Samurai aren't traiend to fight in any prolonged engagement.

wow. its amazing how much you believe anime. its ludicrous. really. GET. A. LIFE.

Samurai fights could go on for hours, it depends on the skill.

I don't know what to do. Point and laugh at you because you evidently didn't bother to read what I said, or ... well, it's mostly just point and laugh.

You're a tool. Just shut up and go home.

My point was don't believe in ANime, were the samruai woudl fight and jump over roofs and sh*t. Samurai never did any of that in real lfie. Good job completely misunderstanding what I was saying.

He didn't misunderstand you; that "charge one another, make a few slashes, and it's all over in seconds" nonsense DIDN'T HAPPEN outside Anime. Samurai vs ordinary peasant warrior, and that MIGHT be the case. Samurai vs Samurai however, it very well could take a few hours, especially if both fighters are good and of approximately equal skill. The fact that the style of swordsmanship they used focused more on avoiding the sword just as much as blocking it (if not more), makes your claim of battles lasting only a few seconds even more ridiculous than it already is.

YOU are the one who needs to shut up, or at the very least; do some research. Even a meager amount.

Now it's YOU who needs to understand. Whether it's been scene in Anime or not is irrelevant, he is the one who drew up that conclusion that I was thinking of Anime when in reality I was actually telling people to not get anime sword fighting confused with real sword fighting. Fail.

This is the message I was trying to give. You can't tell ME what my point was. Until you find a quote of me saying that Anime sword fighting is real, feel Free to shut up and go back to your *** forums.

I wouldn't have been quite as pissed off if the tool didn't just come into this thread to bash me for his own misunderstanding, then leave.

I find it Ironic how the guy with a Halo sig who repeatedly posts in most inane forum ( Off Topic) somehow thinks he can criticize a guy for believing Anime.

Is there a problem with people posting in the Off Topic Forum? People just happen to be relaxed and playful when they/we post there.

Anyway, back on topic and less about whether the actions of 2D characters actually reflect the truth of the real world...

I honestly think that the Samurai would win this fight. I'm not exactly an expert on either one, but I think that the strength of the Spartans was their phalanx and their ability to fight as a cohesive unit.

if a Spartan from Sparta's height in all his heavy armour with his nodding horse hair plume on his huge corinthian helmet, with his huge ****** shield, and his long spear and his leaf bladed Xiphos was to fight a Samurai from the Sengoku period is his Yorei armour and his huge helm and his Yari and Katana and Wakizashi on even ground at midday and they both were on foot who would win?

One on one: Samurai (more advanced armor, better close-up fighter)

Army vs Army: Spartans (the phalanx does wonders)

Samurai.

An army of sheep lead by a lion will defeat army of lions lead by a sheep.

You do know that army vs. army the Samurai would stand off and shoot the phalanx down, wouldn't you? There's a reason that formation went out of fashion. There's no getting around the fact that in both equipment and tactics these comparisons are more than a millennia apart.

😑 That completely boggles my mind.

I *think* I get it...

"A disciplined army that works together and is led by a brave fighter will always beat an army made entirely of brave warriors that fight individually rather than as a group."

Army vs Army? Remember, in "300" they only stood their ground for so long because they had a huge advantage using the small passage. Added to that Samurai will likely outsmart them. Their flexible and cunning, and they will just flank them or something.

Remember what happened with the spartans in "300"

This of course true only figuratively. One or two Lions could slaughter an entire flock of Sheep regardless of who their leader is ! 😱

That does make sense. ✅

The Spartan would win due to the range of his weapon, the Phalanx was for battle, in large scale, if it's one on one the lack of a man on each side would hardly be missed, and they were trained to wrestle and fight one on one from 7 years of age, the Samurai although they were very skilled only had about 5% of the amount of Samurai that actually had good skill, and only another 5% in that, that held the greats like Musashi, so the average Spartan would eliminate the average Samurai, the lack of Samurai power is due to the Samurai only being high stature and new people unless they were in the family line and male would fight, and they were constantly at war with themselves so the good warriors would die from fatigue and being overwhelmed or like Musashi go into a more peaceful way of life and write a book(s), while all Spartan men and boys were skilled warriors, they had the average Spartan and the top 5% would be veterans with the resolve to not fear the enemy. Technology would not matter because the Katana was like the Spartan sword, backup, a spear was for stabbing and would get caught on the bronze shield, or simply be deflected while the Samurai would have a 2 handed spear and not be able to parry the Spartan stabs quickly especially with them deflecting the blows made on them.
