Elgb's '"Two Robert the Bruce battles? WTH? Did DF got Invaded by Scotland or Something?" 'EDGES!!!

Short: I'm giving this one to the claymore. Both are great big fat swords taht can cut through a person with ease. But the claymore's got the longer reach and the heavier blade for blunt force trauma. The tachi's more curved and slimmer blade will be useless against the Scottish chainmail. While the Claymore's reach and power will be able to cleave through the heads of even armored samurais. EDGE: Robert

Mid: The naginata jsut has the longer pole and the larger blade. The locahbar axe is nice when you need to hack through people, and that more linear blade will be able to stab more effieciently. But that's negated by the fact that the naginata has a one-foot range advantage. Being able to chop with an axe is something, but I'd rather stick with an actual blade that can slash and cut through more neatly. EDGE: Minamoto

Long: The Yumi is only good in horseback and t's more accurate than the longbow. But besides that it's pretty much inferior. I mean Jesus, it lacks any armor-penetrating pwoer, and has only a range of 40 frigging yards. The longbow can punch deeper and can be shot way farther than the yumi. While samurais were arguable the better bowman, their skill is trumped by the fact that they're using the inferior bow. EDGE: Robert

Special: A small toothpick like a tanto is no match against a friggin axe. Nuff said. EDGE: Robert

Deadliest Warrior?

In a classic battle between a knight and a samurai, I'm giving the edge to Robert the Bruce here. Both were tactically and strategically smart, being able to defeat more pwoerful and better armed enemies. But the thing is, is that Robert is carrying the better weapons here. His bow would decimate Minamoto at long range and his claymore and axe would decimate him again in close range. He's also got the better and less heavy armor too, which Minamoto has no weapons to counter by. In terms of feats, Robert has definately fought in more battles and was successful in building his nation, while Minamoto only fought half of what Robert the Bruce fought, before getting betrayed amd commiting suicide in the end contrary to what the author said in his bio. In the end, knights still dominate over samurais everytime.
