Default Vikings vs Samurai
We always hear about Pirates vs Ninjas, but what about two classes of warriors made for up front and personal fighting?

Let's compare.


-----------------------
A Samurai relies on speed. Vikings rely on brute strength.

A Samurai has a code of battle. Vikings are plainly violent.
-----------------------

Your thoughts?

Vikings like cold weather. Samurai prefer warm weather to sip their herbal tea in.

Some parts of Japan are freaking cold.


Vikings function best when drunk. Samurai's kill themselves without being drunk.

Violent, jeez is that all you can think off? Can't they just sit down and share sushi and beer over a camp fire? California Rolls and a pint of Stella Artois, ah good times.

FOR EVERY SAMURAI BLADE THERE ARE TWO VERY HEAVY AND VERY RUSTY AXES. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PAIN A RUSTY AXE CAN INFLICT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WEIGHS LIKE A BILLION POUNDS? SERIOUSLY, IT'S A LOT OF PAIN. SAMURAI CAN'T HANDLE THAT SHIT. COME ON MAN, THEY WEAR SANDALS. WHAT KIND OF WEAK SHIT IS THAT? ALL THAT FANCY SWORDWORK WON'T DO SHIT WHEN AN AXE THE SIDE OF A HOUSE COMES DOWN ON YOUR HEAD OKAY?

VIKINGS OWN THIS SHIT.

True story.

Isn't Viking vs Samurai the same as Pirate vs Ninja?
Vikings were the first pirates
Modern day ninjas see themselves as modern day samurai.

Therefor: Vikings!

Vikings for me, beards, beer, pointy helmets, and gods like Odin and Thor make for good times. Someone pass me that beer and spiked club, I have a village to pillage.

Ninja's would massacre pirates, but since this isn't the discussion... Vikings would probably win. Thirst for blood > honorable fighting.

Vikings have the women to go home to when the fighting is done. A samurai must practice the art of the ninja, so they live alone.

So, for motivation and recruitment factor - Vikings>Samurai.

Tom Cruise was with the last samurai and George Clooney was with the 13th warrior

My vote goes for Clooney

Cookie if you know who this guy is...

My vote goes for samurais, simply cause this little cutie is a samurai. <3 And I can't stand Viking-type characters. Giant ugly hairy men with loud voices and huge axes don't appeal to me.
