Englishman's "this is the equivelant of you asking me to pick my favorite child, here" edges

Primary: The Ikwla and Ishlangu combo were revolutionary for African warfare, however, they're down fall in this battle comes from the fact that the materials they're made from. The Ikwla is much shorter, so range is out the window, and iron was replaced by steel for a reason. And both the Katana and Wakizashi can easily slice through the Ishlangu and Shaka. Also, Shaka's combo is effective against those who can't keep up, but This is Musashi we're talking about, he fights in fast paced duels every other day. Edge: Miyamoto Musashi

Secondary: Weapon beats training stick. Edge: Shaka Zulu

Ramged: I'll just agree with everyone else. Edge: Shaka Zulu

Special: These weapons are interesting. The Assegai has the advantage when it comes to versitility, as it can be thrown and used as a stabby stabby upclose, however, Miyamoto knows how throwing weapons work, and knows how tl counter them, hell, he could just throw his Wakizasgi or Shuriken to kill/mess up Shaka before he can even wind up to throw it. The Naginata, on the other hand, is made of better materials and can easily cut through bone. Edge: Miyamoto Musashi

X-Factors

The Deadliest Warrior is Miyamoto Musashi
 * Physical ability: Shaka has trained to enhance his speed, agility, and endurance. He's basically immune to pain and can move much faster than the average warrior, however, Miyamoto (to my knowledge) is much stronger, being able to break skulls, arms, and ribs with his bokken. And the katana can swing incredibly quikly as well. Even
 * One v One: This one is obvious, Musashi was a duelist, Shaka was a warlord. Edge: Miyamoto Musashi
 * Tactics: Shaka Zulu's combo may be something new to Musashi, but, as i mentioned before, Musashi can negate the combo with his own swords. And Musashi's pycological warfare will be the final nail in Shaka's coffin, Shaka's mental state is something i've always questioned, as of, when his mother died, he ordered all pregnant women and their families to be executed and even had 7,000 Zulus executed, because they wern't greif striken enough, he even had cows killed so their caves would know what loss felt like. Miyamoto's phycological warfare is the perfect tactic against someone like Shaka
