The Deadliest Warrior
« on: April 29, 2009, 09:58:57 AM »
Anyone else been watching this series on Spike?  I have been sucked in and record all of the to the DVR.  I was a little dissapointed in the results of last nights Pirates V. Knights.

I guess I should have looked a little more into it.  Regardless, I kind of like it!  If for no other reason than it would be a blast to beat the crap out of those ballistic gel skeletons with those types of weapons.

I own a sick Katana blade made by Paul Chen called the "tiger", the first time I saw the show I was wishing I could use it, on those. :rofl


I wanted to see the Samurai vs Viking but I missed it, anyone know the results?   I say the Samurai, hands down.   this match up is a conundrum for me, I have Norseman blood in me, but I love and respect Bushido.

I want to see Samurai vs. Marine Scout-Sniper.

Or maybe Viking vs M1 Tanker.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

 Even a katana cannot cut through an oak boarded shield with metal rim and boss. A Danish sea raiding party of 200 men in a shield wall would trample 200 samurai into the earth. Not to mention that even a stunted norseman would tower a good twelve inches over the average samurai.

One on one the samurai would stand a chance if he was skilled with the naginata or nodachi, or some other longer blade.
 It would take an exceptional master of the katana to beat a sword Dane armed with heavy sheild and axe or blade. The swordmanship of european history is hardly recognised. A sword Dane trained to fight from birth just as a samurai and could easily double the strength of their Asian cousins. Eastern weapons and disciplines have a romantic notion about them today, and often seem more appealing to us visualy and spiritualy. Nothing about fighting with sharp metal is romantic or spiritual. Vikings own Samurai.

You really thought the knight had a chance?

Yes, and I think it was fixed. The refs clearly wanted the pirates.

I don't know why, but i just watched it on youtube.   Once again, someone gets bashed in the head with a one strike kill weapon, and jumps up like he was hit with a nerf baseball bat.

The samurai won by such a LUDICROUSLY slim margin its stupid they even gave him a victory.

He was helped by a horrible misunderstanding on the show of how Germanic warriors fought, unfairly weakened the Viking's shield, (those things were STRONG) and they cheated by giving the samurai a weapon that arguably could have been disqualified as something the typical samurai wouldn't have carried (kanabo).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Just watched it and was not impressed.  They also totaly disregarded the viking double spear throw, those things went through wooden logs they would not bounce off.
