Vikings> as in the bearded Scandinavian men who plagued Europe with long boats and round wooden shields?

Samurai> as in disciplined well trained master swordsmen who were utterly devoted to their retainer or master and lived their life to a code of honour?

Comparing those two is like comparing the SAS to a drunken mob of thugs.

Ninjas have idiotic animes with an even more idiotic audience devoted to them, Vikings don't.

When Viking gets defeated in a fight (not to death), he gets drunk and wants revenge as soon as possible.
When a Samurai looses a fight, he kills himself with a sharpened bamboo stick/special knife.

I mean, come on. It's like "do you like a giant angry bear or a bunch of lemmings that jump off the cliff".

I have to say that punctuating this sentence provided moments of fun.

My vote goes for Clooney
Actually it was Antonio Banderas in 13th Warrior.

No it's not. Now go away and buy WAR and join the only MMO that has PvP comparable to GW in terms of skill vs gear.

Vikings would kill those weak samurai's!

Ask the English how hard they were to stop when they went on one of their "party cruises"
Look up Grimsby. Wikipedia claims Grim was a fisherman ... hmm, sure, he might have caught some fish on the way to the party I suppose

Vikings in 'berserker form'. Seriously. What's crazier than a hairy, enraged, bear/wolf skin wearing viking berserker charging at you?

Damn, this is a hard one.

I mean ninjas vs pirates is no contest (ninjas would kill the pirates the night before the fight, just cuz) but vikings vs. Samurais? Hmmmmm......

Samurai's have Bushido, Katanas, and a shitload of class.

Vikings have RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing big axes and body hair.

Calm and collected vs. Totally crazy.

Might have to say it is actually a fair fight.

A Samurais' sword would get trapped in the body hair of a Viking. Therefore Viking wins.

Vikings in the days of old were the definition of rape.

Samurai would get owned.

vikings can just run over those bamboo-leather armor wearing sushi-makers. Sure, they have the best swords but vikings have supermega macho-man strength that exudes rape and pillage. vikings > sushi
