As I'm sure many of you already know, there is a show on Spike TV called "Deadliest Warrior", where history's most known (and most cliche'd) warriors come together in a battle of strength, intellect, and weaponry. Basically it's to see which of them would win, according to an "advanced program by Slytherin Studios". More on that later.
Anyway, one of the first episodes features the deceptive Ninja against the barbaric Spartan, and two over-enthusiastic teams of each side respectively had to compare weapons & technology as well as fighting techniques and the X factor to find out who would have won. I'll cut to the chase and show the video:

F[/URL]irst off, the element of surprise combined with the lethally poisonous dart gun would have easily ended the fight before it began. Also, the black eggs would have seriously hindered the Spartans performance, likely to the point of blindness and excruciating pain. I imagine crushed glass in the eyes would not be fun. Furthermore, the Ninja would probably be faster and less clumsy than he was in the video.

I call BS. What do you think?
We all know the whole show is BS and this is best left to 12 year olds in the playground arguing about whatever vs whatever.
I think the only way is to get a friend to be a Ninja and you be a Spartan and you should try kill each other.

Good idea.
Have you ever watched [url="http://spoonyexperiment.com/"]the spoony experiment[/url]? He HATES this show. Actually I think he did a vlog about it a few weeks back.
I've never watched it, but I get the idea. Sounds pretty stupid
i like how the experts they have on each warrior talk shit like they're all actually going to get in a fight
i'd pay to see that
Regardless of how inaccurate this show is, it's still pretty cool to see a man punch through a pig.
It's actually quite interesting at times, the show.
But anyways, it comes down to if the ninja can achieve a critical hit/get past the Spartan's armor, which is only a chance. However, the ninja has no armor and the Spartan's hits against the ninja don't need to go through that second check, to see if they get past armor, since there is no armor. The spartan would normally win, UNLESS the ninja achieves enough hits that get past the Spartan's armor, which is, like mentioned earlier, a chance, so, there is, statistically, a higher chance that the Spartan would win each fight.
They basically just flip a coin and pretend they have a program that can do shit.

They should have made it pirate vs ninja

I'm actually quite interested if they actually do have a program that calculates all the shit that they need to calculate. I'm not willing to believe that it is fake flat-out, but there is a chance that the program is just for show, to make people think that they actually do know what they are talking about.
The weapon demonstrations are badass, either way.

They have a pirate vs. knight episode.
The pirate won by cheating. Not that that's a bad thing.
This show is a goddamn joke. In the Vietcong vs SS episode they tried to compare a flamethrower to poop sticks. [b]Poop sticks.[/b]

Deadliest warrior is pretty inaccurate, but fun to watch.

They apparently enter all of their "statistics" into OpenOffice Calc (which is basically Microsoft Excel), and then they put that into a program that is "made by Slytherin Studios", and that tells them how many kills each of the warriors got, and how.
I think it's fake, too. I tried to get my hands on the software, and it doesnt exist.

This is really how they find results:

Bunch of bullshit.
One of the episodes I watched had a barbarian against Sun'Tzu. And because of Sun'Tzu's book, and
superior knowlege, he won easily.
/facepalm.
Why is this not in the TV/Movie section?
Who won the Taliban vs IRA one in the end?

This is the best episode ever. I forgot which Facepuncher made this but I love him. His videos are hilarious.
According to Deadliest Warrior, a katana blade can cut through chainmail, even after the viking guys proved that there is no way to simply cut through chainmail.
disregarding the utter bullcrap outcome of most fights though, everything before that is pretty interesting.
Deadliest Warrior is absolute bullcrap as anything other than entertainment.
My favorite was Viking vs Samurai. Yeah, let's put a farmer-as-a-day-job militiaman against a warrior-from-birth trained elite ruling class. And let's give the samurai the benefit of modern metallurgy techniques, because with an actual katana using actual metal available in the 16th century, he wouldn't be able to do any of those fancy moves.
Now let's compare them one versus one in a totally sterile environment, completely ignoring the relative tactics that made them different and the entirely opposite forms of warfare they practiced- hit-and-run raiding versus territorial conquest. And let's make it one on one, so their training in fighting as a group (or rather, the samurai's lack thereof) doesn't come into play.
Makes perfect fucking sense. What's next, Roman Centurion versus Taliban Insurgent?

Not to mention all the fancy katana blade folding techniques (pretty much pattern welding) were only done because Japanese steel is of terrible quality, and it was the only way to actually make swords that wouldn't break- whereas the reproduction sword that Mr. Samurai was showing off was assuredly a modern one made with only the finest steel money can buy.
In an outright fight, Spartan would win easy, end of story. Ninjas were trained to take out unarmored targets, not people trained from birth and armed with spears and massive shields w/ chest plates. So tired of this retarded weeabo ninjaxsamuraiarethebestever shit, samurai would get raped by any armored foe, and ninjas are not perfect assassins that never made a mistake, they were sent in groups to accomplish shit, not solo.
[QUOTE=StormHammer;31694893]In an outright fight, Spartan would win easy, end of story.[/QUOTE]
This is what I don't understand about the whole scenario. They're putting a Greek soldier, trained to fight wars, against a Japanese assassin, trained to kill stealthily? Ninja weren't even soldiers. It's just an idiotic setup to begin with.
Ooh, ooh, I got an idea: Frankish Knight vs USAF Radar Officer. IT'LL BE GREAT, REALLY.
To be honest it doesn't matter, we all know the real battle that matters, told to us in great debates by 12 year olds:
Master Chief vs. Gordon Freeman
The ninja might've won if he didn't have to shout as he swung his sword.
well being japenese expert in history i could SAYmurai that the ninja would win as he has the anicient element of surprise, a thing the spartain was in lacking of
If they put a Ninja and a spartan in a boxing ring who would win?
Edit: I can see why shurikens got a score of 0, they were used to fend off and incapacitate chasers (quick to throw, slow down and cause pain to the chaser) while escaping instead of trying to fight a guy with a really big shield and helmet from the front.
Edit2: actually this whole thing is pretty stupid and I should go to sleep.
This is a terrible thread.. It is a mediocre show and there are ton of variables that comes in with each fight.
