King Leonidas (300) vs The Red Viper (GOT)

Originally I was going to have Leonidas vs The Mountain but I think Leonidas would take it based on how well The Red Viper did.

Equipment is as follows

Leonidas-Helmet, sword
Red Viper-Spear

Both have minimal wearable armor so I called it even there. I took away Leonidas' shield as I felt it would even the fight a bit more.

Leo every time.

I can't say I disagree.

Leonidas is basically bolo stomping

Hmm... weird match and tough to call. On one hand, GoT characters don't do that well in mvf's because their fighting style is too realistic and gritty. In short, it doesn't look that skilled. The whole movie of 300 on the other hand had very stylized fighting... which would then mean that Leonidas fighting skills look far more impressive than the Red Viper's.

That said, Leonidas never really did fight any skilled opponent 1 on 1. Leonidas seemed more of a commander than a duelist, whereas the Red Viper looked very much at home in a 1 vs. 1 match.

Guess it could go either way.

that and alot of Leonidas' fights were slow mo

He took on that giant as well.

Leonidas was a ****ing lawnmower on the field of battle and possessed blatantly near-superhuman to superhuman physical abilities. He'd casually kill Oberyn, or any human fighter from GoT.

Just to add on again. I took away Leonidas' shield to even the battle a bit. I still think Leonidas wins but I'd love to see the matchup. Good point about the skill level as well

I'm pretty sure this is obvious stomp. Its been a while since I've seen 300, but weren't the spartans comfortably above any real world human? they're at least peak human. I love Viper as much as the next guy, but he wouldn't last 10 seconds.

i honestly see viper taking this, his stamina isn't quite that spartan level because they were machines but his irl fight was honestly better

Leonidas wins. GoT characters are portrayed as skilled, yet realistic, warriors. The 300 Spartans weren't.

Great point.

Just rewatched the Mountain vs. Red Viper fight again, and I'm going to go with Viper on this one. If it weren't for the mountain's armor he would have been dead in the first few seconds of that fight.

If you take away all the slow mo from 300, Leonidas didn't seem to show as much skill as Red Viper. Plus the fact that the spear is way deadlier in a duel than a short sword.

i like it

Leo, comfortably

Leo was cutting a swath through Immortals, who were said to pretty much be the best fighters in existence aside from the Spartans. So much so that it seemed the Spartans were the first to actually kill them in battle. So when you take the most impressive fighting force in the world, and then a guy wades through them like shallow water, I'll give him the win.

I don't see Oberyn having a kill count like Leo if you put him in the same position.

Yeah well I didn't see that much skill from the Immortals either. Couple a dropkicks here and there but nothing much. Plus again, spear is at a huge advantage against a short sword. And I do mean huge advantage.

That's the thing though... Leo would be very comfortable fighting such a battle. Back then, it was routine spears would break during battle and they'd go to fighting with their short sword, while their enemies could still have a spear. Leo would be very used to this scenario and very comfortable fighting like this. Plus, he's an expert with the spear, thus he knows its in and ours and weaknesses as well. This will only aid him in this fight.

Leo is simply better in virtually every single area of a vs. fight.

persians are pussies (i do love the feline breed thou)
Viper takes this, leonidas is at a distance and if he gets too close vier will snap the spear and go in. he seems to be faster then leo and a smart fighter
