    Default Spartan vs. Ninja

    Not that this is necessarily about the mod, but there are lots of Sparta-lovers (like me) who play XGM that I thought would get a kick out of this. Mods, please delete if too off topic.

    So, who would win in a one-on-one?

    Watch and find out...

    Spartan vs. Ninja

    Look guys, I know this is fluffy and semi-retarded...but I had a good time watching it .

    :sparta:...let the battle begin.

    LOL, I thought the Ninja vs Pirate Debate was ridiculous, at least I agree with this video's conclusion

    Yeah, the actual fight scene at the end wasn't too bad either! Watching a ninja battle a fully armored Spartan is both pretty cool and odd looking at the same time.
    I was a little surprised at the pig chopping though...lol.

    Ninja are a bit over-valuated. I practiced Martial Arts for 8 years and Ninjutsu practitiones are HARDLY among the toughest ones i meet.

    Ninjas were trespassers and backstabbers, no frontline warriors. I Think that any well trained spartan (or any other well trained warrior) would make them pieces in a battlefield.

    You don't even know the half of it! You couldn't have said it better if you tried...

    'Ninja' Tries To Rob Weymouth Dry Cleaners
    WEYMOUTH (WBZ) ―
    Police are looking for a man who tried to rob a Weymouth dry cleaners Monday night dressed as a ninja.

    According to the Patriot Ledger, the man, believed to be in his late 20s, entered Galaxy Cleaners on Main Street around 8 a.m. wearing all black, a ski mask and a sword in a sheath on his belt.

    The paper reports the man pointed the sword at the clerk and demanded money. When the clerk said she could not open the cash drawer, the suspect left the store.

    Police are still looking for a suspect.

    lol, that vid was hilarious. Go pirates! Er... Spartans.

    Let's not even joke around. The ninja had no chance, seeing as Sparta has Gerard Butler.

    :sparta:

    I have this episode saved on my DVR. It was great as a whole, but the fight scene at the end alone is worth keeping. The previous episodes (Apache vs Gladiator and Viking vs Samurai paled in comparison).

    But, unlike the pirates vs ninja debate, we found out for sure who was the deadliest warrior. :sparta:

    BTW, did anyone notice that the show's narrator is David Wenham, the actor who played Dilios in 300?

    That leaping spear thrust is a common technique, AFAIK. I've seen it executed elsewhere other than just in Troy.

    But that doesn't denote from it's awesomeness in any way.

    It's fun speculating when none of us are either Spartan OR Ninja. I would have trouble beating Papa Smurf.

    I wanted to see the conclusion of the Pirate vs. Knight episode, but couldn't. Can someone tell me who won?
