Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: The katana definitely has that extreme cutting power, but the strongly-built Saxon will be able to easily parry the katana with his longsword or block the on coming slash from the katana with his shield. Edge: Saxon

Mid Range: The yari gets it for it's longer length and practical military use. The boar spear was really meant for...well hunting boars. But it is still a deadly weapon. Edge: Samurai

Long Range: Tough decision but I stick by the Yumi on this one. It's a devastatingly powerful bow and I like it because of its capability to be used on horse back and on foot. Edge: Samurai

Special: Another tough choice! I like the axe because it can slash and if not it can cause severe bruising or even broken bones. However, I have to go with the kanabo, it'll easily shatter the rib cage since the Saxon isn't wearing plated armor. The axe will definitely inflict a large does of pain towards the samurai, but it won't break bones or cause gashes because of the curve in the lamellar armor. Edge: Samurai

The Deadliest Warrior: Samurai, he is way too nimble for the Saxon to keep up. This is somewhat like Viking vs. Samurai based upon the weaponry and similarity in tactics. Plus the lightweight, but still effective armor of the Japanese warrior will heavily decrease the amount of trauma dealt by the Saxon's weapons.
