Spartan Easily wins.

[BunnyPoopCereal]

Care to explain? The samurai is superior in many ways just as the spartan is superior in others.

Spartan wins because he was that massive bronze shield. Not to mention Bronze armour behind the shield.

Also a Spartan shield could work just as well an offensive weapon as defensive.

bullcrap

samurai wins because they were better wariors end of story. if you think that a bronze shield can save the spartan your worng. katana do slice trough it. bronze is not that strong material. its not steel.

dont forgot the exposed legs of the greek wariors. actually the samurai had more protection.

greeks were more trained to work together then single fighting. samurai is quicker therefore he will win.

people underastemate the samurai because he does not whear a huge armor like european wariors.

skill comes before armor.

Do take into consideration the Spartans were at least 1000 years(Not sure about the exact time range but you get the picture) before the samurais. Also do consider what kind of beast-soldiers they'd evolve into after about 1000 years of the Agoge and they also "modernised" to the newer war techniques etc ;p

[Undeadsteak]

Because Deadliest Warrior certainly is logical and scientific.

Ya the show makes me mad a lot of the time. The battle that really boiled my blood was the Spartan vs Ninja.

I think the modern ones are more fair than the ancient ones.

[Space Wolves]

Celt vs Immortal.. LOL

[BunnyPoopCereal]

Unfortunately people actually care for the results whereas I only watch the show to see the weapons, equipment and how it's used.

Same here. I like to see the weapons and dummies being horribly mauled, but I can't stand the woefully inaccurate sensationalism. I don't even watch the final battle, because it's usually so stupid.

[Morbius Sire]

Haven't watched the episode yet, but I would think it be a very very close call. Both Spartans and samurais are ultimate fighter in their times and cultures. They are the "tanks" of their times.



But the episode that made me laugh is the "Spartan vs Ninja". A light weight sneaker vs a mobile "tank" hahaha.

[Magno]

Spartan won for the reason the show explained- Katana's inabilty to penetrate spartan's armor as well as the fact that the spartan has 3 x 3 bronze shield that cannot be gotten past and if i remember correctly there was a pretty big margin of kills versus that of the samurai

[Visiar]

Spartan wins because it had a shield that could be used to defend and attack. Also, to me it seemed the katana was too long for close range combat compared to the Spartan's sword.

But even though Deadliest Warrior does say the Spartan wins I wouldn't agree with everything on the show. (A pirate beat a knight).

[Juggernaut]

I love how people completely ignores the fact that "Samurai" had a history of 750 years with very different equipment, tactics and organization depending on time.

I couldn't see the show on the OP's url, so I saw the clip on youtube, and it really got me WTF. A steel blade can't even dent bronze but a iron sword can easily cut through lamellar? A man who supposedly trained archery for his whole life can't hit a man sized target until he's only 5m away? A compound bow at such a close range can't penetrate a thin sheet of bronze? Why do the Samurai repeatedly bash the shield instead of aiming at parts that isn't armored, hasn't he learned Kaisha-Kenpou? Why are the Samurai's wearing what looks like a Tousei-Gusoku yet fighting like a Gen-Pei War Samurai? That's like having a Norman Knight wearing a Gothic Plate! Finally, why the hell are they fighting anyway? This show doesn't make any sense.

Remember, the computer doesn't take any of that in.

It just takes stats and data from the weapons readout and uses that to make the simulation.

So in other words, since the shield is so powerful no one can penetrate it. It's like the auto resolve button in Total war.

HAH, put a spartan against a pirate and watch the spartan still win.

The funny one was Alexander vs. Attila, that was ridiculous.

that last part left me rolling on the floor laughing

[Robertclive]

A spartan would own the puny samurai.

[Boyar'sNephew]

Rediculous. "300" wannabees. In my admittedly inexpert opinion, a samurai would massacre a hoplite 1v1. Hoplite equipment and tactics weren't even intended for use in that kind of combat.

I don't even know why I'm bothering to comment.
