Elgb's "Eastern Warlords" EDGES!!!

Short: The wakizashi may have the sharper penetrating blade, but it lacks range. I gotta give this one to the jian because it's twice the length to keep any ninjas back. EDGE: Sun Tzu

Mid: This is an easy win for the yari. While the Zhua can be a terrible tearing weapon as well as a disarming one, the yari is longer and has the deadlier point to kill with one accurate strike. EDGE: Hanzo

Long: Well this is a curbstomp for the repeating crossbow. It's got the longer range, penetration power, accuracy, and rate of fire. The only way to make the shuriken lethal is to aim it for the neck or dip it in poison. EDGE: Sun Tzu

Special: An easy win for the Ge. Just like the halberd, it's got a variety of uses such as piking, stabbing, and tripping. The kusarigama needs more training to be used and takes a lot more from the user. The Ge wins this because of it's simplicity. The point end goes to one person... finished. EDGE: Sun Tzu

X-Factor: I gotta disagree with you on this one Milen. Hattori Hanzo definately used armor (as seen in the picture) but only when he was fighting in the field or bodyguarding his lords. While I do have to disagree with some of you who said that Sun Tzu's armor is weak and pathetic. From what I've seen in "Ancient Discoveries" Chinese armor typically combines leather, wood and even paper that is enough to stop a crossbow bolt and even a sword slash. But still it's got nothing against Samurai armor. In terms of Tactics, well Hattori fought in more battles. But dudes, it doesn't meant that Sun Tzu is inexperienced in combat. IIRC Sun Tzu definately fought with his men in the Battle of the Chu Outskirts on death ground (and probably others too). Hanzo is great really, but in terms of his ninja experience he's pretty exaggerated. There was only one or two instances where he actually went with his ninjas to assassinate people. Most of the time his ninja networks are used as bodyguards (but still he's more experienced I think). In terms of tactics well this is an obvious win for Sun. Hanzo has lead troops before but he was more of a follower to higher authorities. Still, Sun Tzu didn;t exist, but well let's just say this is a Fiction vs Non-Fictional Warrior Battle :)

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm going against the tide here and vote for Sun Tzu. Yeah I myself believe he didn't existed. My vote will probably not help Sun win this war, and I'm scared people are going to chew me because of this, but hey it's just how I see it. Hanzo has the better armor and experience, but in terms of weapons and tactics Sun has it. Most of Hanzo's weapons weren't meant for combat, and some of them are too complex for they're on good. I just can't see shurikens and a kusarigama go well in a heated group battle (they were designed for individual combat). But what really gives Sun Tzu the victory is, is the repeating crossbow, jian and Ge. Both are better to be utilized in this small squadron fight and is just more practical to be used.
