Elgb's "Tank vs Stealth" EDGES!!!

Short: The ninjato is at most, a hollywood invention that probbably didn't exist. If historical ninjas used swords they would have been carrying a wakizashi or somthing similar. Nonetheless, I give this one to the espada ropera because of blade length and practicality. The ninjato's only advantage is in draw speed but seriously this isn't a quick draw competition; the ninja's needs to be slow and calculating if he's going to take down an armored conquistador with a short sword. The latter on the other hand won't have any problems putting his blade straight through a ninja. EDGE: Conquistador

Mid: Alabarda easy. More options of attacking and that long pole for reaching. A kusarigama's chain does give it a long range, but its very difficicult and complex to use in a fast-paced battle. The ninja was probably trained on how to use that thing effectively in combat, but the alabarda is still simpler and quicker to use, and its large head is basically an arsenal of weapons that the conquistador can choose from. EDGE: Conquistador

Long: Yeah the pistol crossbow is a flimsy and unreliable weapon, and those tiny bolts are way too weak and too lame to actually cause that much damage to a well-protected ninja. The blow dart and the shurikens may not have the same penetrating power as an actual projectile weapon, but the latter is a good distraction tool and the former can still kill with its poison. EDGE: Ninja

Special: No contest really, the tanegashima was basically designed to be an upgraded version of the European arquebus. The only advantage that the latter has is its shoulder stock, but the former beats in any other category such as having a front sight for accuracy, a more modern and easier to use trigger mechanism, and the abilty to be fored in the rain. EDGE: Ninja

Deadliest Warrior?

Even though the ninja won out in long range weapons, the Conquistadors won every other category from melee weapons, armor and x-factors. I feel that this is basically Ninja vs Spartan all over again but with guns. The ninja was basically an irregular specialized troops while the conquistoadros were actual professional soldiers.

A coastal town does give the ninja some edge since there will be people and alleyways for them to hide from, but  as the anon below me stated, the ninjas are carrying weapons that aren't that hard to spot. I f this battle does end in random combat then most of the ninjas's weapons will do little against the conquistador's armor, while the conquistadros are going to butcher the ninajs on the spot.
