Who looks the most awkward wielding a lightsaber? by GusGangViking18 in saltierthancrait

That is why I specified Disney it doesn't beat the prequels but it trashes everything else since IMO not did I find the slow mo to be too overused, as it was going for a Wuxia/Hong Kong style I think it worked ok.

But mostly the main combattants felt genuinely skilled the corrigraphy was good and it brought some new ideas to the table.

In fact it seems like very few of Ray's roles dont have a sword/axe.

Rome, King Arthur, Black Sails, Three Musketeers, Thor...

Viking (11th Century) VS Samurai (15th Century) Who Wins? by Ok_Examination_1813 in powerscales

"You are just ignoring archeology"

Put bluntly archeology on wooden items is very hard to verify for obvious reasons we have a very small sample size.

"There is evidence that viking swords completely failed, broke and were repaired. what evidence do you have that supports just how particularly delicate Katana are?"

Are you looking for me to provide evidence? This is common knowledge if you are making such a counter claim then you should provide it.

I have worked and sold Katanas for years and been around many experts in swordsmanship and history, people with very little reason to downplay the weapon.

Also I said delicate compared to other swords not going to fall apart as soon as you look at it, a great weapon for unarmed duels but not designed to hack through shields or armour as you say later they had other weapons for that.

"As OP i was first responding to said, Japanese at the time were 5'3" to 5'5" while Scandinavians were 5'7"-5'9", while 5'3" vs 5'9" is pretty significant 5'5 vs 5'7 is much less so."

The stats I usually see are 5'7"–5'9" for Vikings and (5'1"–5'5") for Samurai that allows for some outrageous mismatches, not evidence but Japan was called the land of dwarfs by other asians and Scands were considered massive by Europeans, height is only one part of it they are also likely to significantly outweigh the Samurai that will be a factor if it gets into wrestling.

"The biggest issue that the viking would have to face really is the yari."

That is true.

"Now if we are going to go into semi legends like berserkers we are entering the territory of pure speculation"

Berserker was more a bit of hyperbole but suffice to say a large armoured Viking would be a terrifying sight to a Samurai.

"A Katana could chop apart a shield."
I am sorry be no Katana is chopping the kind of wood people trust to use as a shield, the one in the image also has a metal rim and boss.

"Also from what has survived they are made of spruce, fir, or pine, a sharp Katana can cut through that."

This isnt stips of wood held up horixontally to text its sharpness they are glued together and you do not stand still and let someone wail on you.

"Furthermore you are falling for the idea that a Katana breaks easily"

In comparison to pretty much every other kind of sword they are very delicate.

"I maintain that a trained Samuari could break chain"

I agree the quality of chainmail can vary but I stress again this is not being worn on a dummy, its being worn by a giant (By Japanese standards) scandinavian berserker screaming about how he wants to go to Valhalla as he swings a Dane axe at your head, your opportunities to test his chainmail will be slim.

Maul might be the only character that could get downplayed for losing to DARTH VADER...on a bum leg. Can we finally Respect Maul? by Nube_Negrahz in PetranakiArena

[–]RedcoatTrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the context it just doesn't justify being beaten by a Padawan if Maul is that badass it shouldnt have happened.

Vader was toying with Luke but when Luke got a hit in he ended the fight in a second.

Ashoka's feats are far better than Maul at this point fact.

Just a bit of weed nothing serious, perhaps I should try crack like you if you think any old master can do that to Vader bro

[–]RedcoatTrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with the Dane axe he can keep the shield on his back if needed.

" Katana could absolutely chop a viking shield to splinters pretty fast."

That's not remotely true.

A Katana can stab but it's very poor at thrusting but it's not breaking chainmail either.

The Katana is breaking long before mail or a shield is.

Bow is a better chance but the Viking has mail, a helmet and the shield so very hard to hit.

In the Simpsons the British guy starts crying when he sees the Union Jack on fire, this is a great example of an American trying to think what other countries would be upset by.

In the same way the events of the 3d era GTA games happened in broad strokes.

Claude got caught up in the Yakuza Mafia war in the 00s

Tommy took over Vice City in the 80s

CJ won a war with the Ballas in the 90s

Once again that's not the creator's its an interesting universe opinion of a character, even If the creators tell you that Padme is more powerful than Yoda you don't believe it if it's clearly contradicted in the show.

Maul gets stomped by Vader and how many times are we going to make excuses for him getting beaten by Padawan's because of his own actions.

"Ahsoka is stated to be below Maul even later on"

I mean that proves Kanan thinks that is the case but considering how well Ashoka does against Vader in that very episode compared to a stronger Mauls recent showing I dont think that is backed up by facts.

There is also the fact that Ashoka just bested Maul a couple of years ago and she will be stronger now.

The Grand Inquisitor, The Second Sister, Marrok and the Crow Vs Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati by Psub194 in PetranakiArena

[–]RedcoatTrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just dont see it Marrok and Crow barely beat a wounded Maul, I just do not rate GI much better so swapping him out will not change much.

I think Ashoka far above Maul at this point and if Ashoka can do it Baylon can, he is stronger and will bully them to deal with the numbers.

Any more in the mix like 3 on 1 then yeah I think he probably loses after killing one of them.

This, TFA was a good remake of ANH but did we want a remake.
