Let's see shall we

Swords

May the Katana vs Longsword debate rage on forever more but in this match-up the Tizorna wins out. If my recollection of Deadliest Warrior is correct then the Katana struggled against chainmail as it negated it's slashing damage and the Tachi is a more primitive version of said Katana and so El Cid should be well protected whereas the Longsword will have an easier job getting through the Lamellar armour of Tomoe. The Tizorna is also longer, a big advantage in swords, heavier which allows for stronger blows and can be better utilised one handed than the Tachi which gives El Cid the advantage on horseback.

Edge: El Cid

Polearm

The Naginita and Voulge are very similar weapons in terms of usage but the Naginita's longer shaft and blade gives it an advantage right off the bat but on horseback lacks the strong point to be used effectively something which the Voulge does do better. That being said though I can't exactly see either of these two trying to use their Polearm on horseback and when it comes to the inevitable on foot portion of the fight the Naginita just seems like the better Polearm to use and as a Samurai, Tomoe would have had more of her training focused on it's use which makes gives her an edge.

Edge: Tomoe Gozen

Ranged
