Who were superior at combat in ancient times? The Japanese or the British?

[tshadowchaser]

If they had ever fought against each other we would have an answer but they did not and we do not. All speculation as to which was better or which sword was better in battle is just that speculation based on simulated battle scenarios that we make up today

Lets fire up the old PC game Age of Empires and find out......

Yeah but the Japanese also have Sonny Chiba

The Europeans also have king author and he has a table (not just any table) a round one

 

[Xue Sheng]

NAH, here is the proof, the Deadliest warrior game, Knights vs Samurai

The Deadliest Warrior TV show did Vikings vs Samurai but not knights...sorry

Japanese don't need no stinking round table, they can sit on the floor AND Japanese eat raw fish..... you don't see those mamby pamby knights doing that at their round table now do ya :uhyeah:

 

[donald1]

No, you got a point there, the knights just got their chairs and roast pig with the occasional roasting chicken :lfao:

 

[Xue Sheng]

Yeah but what about this

they wouldn't stand a chance against this

Now, now, I have it on the best of authorities that true knights could go a month without eating!

I believe this comes down to Godzilla vs Friar Tuck.

VS

Looks pretty even.. could Tez with a golf club tip it in favor of the brits?

[Dirty Dog]

Yeah but what about this

Did anybody else notice that right at the 1 min mark, Belushi actually hit the guy behind him in the cheek?

Yes, I watched it. I'm not proud of it, but I did.

 

[donald1]

You don't have to feel ashamed, it was a funny video

That guy was Buck Henry and I saw it happen on TV when I was watching Saturday Night Live...likely live and I'm proud of it too

So at an approximate time when the Japanese had the Samurai, Ninjas, and so forth and the British had the knight with broad sword shield and Armour.

It seems the Europeans where superior at war even back then, they had castles, archers, cavalry, and it just seemed larger scale, more advanced as a whole, and superior.

Although the Japanese had more advanced swords imo and made clever innovations, but as a whole I think they were inferior, when it came to war.

I don't know about the other Europeans, but you are correct in that the British were, and are, superior. Everyone knows that, right?

The samurai were mighty warriors but it doesn't matter if they rode tigers, lions, bears, rhinos, elephants, sharks or fire breathing dragons. The Brits would still win.

The above is scientifically proven fact, and the fact that I'm British in no way negates that or implies any bias

Well you are British for now lol, if you are in Scotland you may wake up not British!
'British' however didn't mean a United Kingdom until the 18th century when all the countries were joined legally.

I'll definitely still be British tomorrow, I'm on the right side of Hadrian's wall

Hope the jocks don't go, but if they do vote to leave the UK, wouldn't they technically still be British? I mean this island we share is still Great Britain, no?

I know we're getting off topic now, but TS is banned (who could have seen that coming...) so does it really matter?

 

[donald1]

I don't know... Could go either way

That's a shame, seemed like a nice person when he wasn't calling people trolls or idiots but rules are rules
