MD 33's Vote: "ORIENTALS, YES!"

Short Range: Katana vs Jian

A weapon with just one effective method of attack, but longer, against a sword that can thrust and slash due to it's double-edge, but shorter than the other weapon? I'd say that the Song Dynasy Warrior's Jian takes the edge here. Hey, I know that the Katana's a deadly weapon, and a well-known one, and longer. But due to the Jian's better versatility, it takes the edge here. Oh, and usually, the shorter the weapon is, the faster the weapon is.

Mid Range: Naginata vs Qiang

These weapons got similar stats in the battle. I'd say that it's EVEN. These weapons counter each other. The Naginata is more versatile in slashing and assaulting the enemy in a fast way, but the Qiang keeps the enemy at range. The Qiang's for thrusting, the Naginata is for slashing. Well, thrusting can inflict a deeper wound, but slashing can inflict a larger area of wound, so, yeah, even.

Long Range: Yumi vs Repeating Crossbow

Ok, so the Repeating Crossbow is more dangerous here in terms of damage, due to the poison. But, it would mean nothing to the Samurai's Yumi. Sure, the Repeating Crossbow is like an ancient machine gun. But the Yumi has a longer range. And what does that mean? Samurai will strike the Song Dynasty Warrior first before the Crossbow can even get into striking range. It's lighter, as well, allowing the Samurai to be more mobile in the shooting.

Special: Bajouzutsu vs Fire Lance

This completely goes to '''Samurai's Bajouzutsu. '''The Fire Lance is more of a shotgun. More devastating. But it's heavier, WAY HEAVIER than the Bajouzutsu. The Bajouzutsu has a longer range, and seemingly, more accuracy. Sure, it's single shot. But the bigger ammo capacity of the Fire Lance won't be useful after the Samurai takes a fatal shot with the Bajouzutsu at the shooter. Sure, the Bajouzutsu is weaker, but it's more accurate.

X-Factors: Samurai vs Song Dynasty Warrior

Samurai: 91. 5

Song D. Warrior: 85. 25

Samurai takes the EDGE.

WINNER: SAMURAI

No contest. The Samurai wins this battle. The Samurai's weapons are much more devastating than the Song Dynasty Warrior's weapons. The Katana might be less versatile if I say so, compared to the Jian. But it's sharper, and stronger, and as you said, may can dent the Jian. Then, the long range comes. Oh, before this, I knew that the mid range weapons are even, so, yeah. Anyways, the Samurai's longbow can be more lethal than the Crossbow because of it's longer range, allowing him to get the first strike easier. Then, the Samurai is more trained than the Song Dynasty Warrior. Their X-Factors totally trump the Song Dynasty Warrior. The winner here, is the SAMURAI.
