Ninja vs Samurai

[Clo]

What would you be? Are you HONORABRE?

Answer, if you dare. :stare:

PS. I want to be a samurai, but my character yells ninja.

[Christmas]

Naruto vs Bleach?

[Tigmafuzz]

They're both cool and they're both dead.

[Clo]

I don't like Naruto or bleach :(

I was thinking in a FFT sense.

Or something.

[Agent Proto]

:ninja:

oh, we need a proper ninja smiley.

As Sun tzu already said it over 2500 years ago, Winning or Losing a fight or battle depends on the elements in the equation and how they add up.
In a clean and open fight a regular samurai would normally win. These people trained nearly every waking moment in the martial arts to be as efficient a warriors as could be in an honest and open fight.
Ninja were sneaky fighters that relied on stealth and subterfuge. The element of surprise was thier greatest weapon. As most of the ninja only did these duties as a side job they were often not as skilled as a Samurai. However one must take into account that part of the samurai took their part in the ninja's activities. SO...
Who's to say.
There's just too many blanks in the equation to solve it just in this question

[Laddy]

Damn, Christmas.

Anyway, I prefer Samurai. They're just fucking cool.

[Jowy]

following FFT rules a ninja would totes win

draw out is fucking worthless

[Shorty]

Jowy> ban crystal for making that thread
Shorty> samurai, dude
Jowy> pleb

banning eric instead :aimmad:

[Clo]

I've never done anything to make me ban worthy.

Except drunk post. Which is what I've been doing this whole time.

Ps: I'm innocent

[Denmark]

don't ban anyone pls DON'T ABUSE YOUR POWER.

samurai i think but idk

PS drunk posting only way 2 go

[Clo]

Samurais are way more noble than ninjas. Ninjas attack at night. :(

[Shorty]

Samurais are indeed more noble. They have honor. Ninjas are sneaky bastards.

[Jowy]

you are all wrong

[Jiro]

This is the hardest question I've ever encountered.

[Denmark]

you've dodged it quite expertly

[Jiro]

I need to go away and do some research.

[Psychotic]

Ninjas are little pussy bitches who are too chickenshit to get into an open fight because they know they'd lose. When I played Tenchu and Assassin's Creed I marched around openly getting into fights with everyone because I have honour. That or low patience. Where's the fun in hiding behind a wall for 5 minutes while you wait for a guy to leave when you can stroll up to him and duel him to the death?

[Pike]

Samurai for life

Have you guys SEEN The Seven Samurai?

Yeah

[Mirage]

Samurai, man.

[Quindiana Jones]

I would say samurai, but I don't want to be associated with Tom Cruise, so ninja.

[Bubba]

Definitely a ninja. That way I can creep up to someone and shout "ORANGES!" extremely loud in their ear.

[Slothy]

I'm sorry Ninja, you want to whack me with your dual swords? *blade grasp*

[Clo]

you are all wrong

Yeah, well, what's your argument? :colbert:

[Raistlin]

Samurais aren't worthless, but FFT ninjas are definitely way better.

Ninjas all the way. Fast, sneaky, and you're dead before you know what happened. Just like how I have sex.

[Citizen Bleys]

Samurai all the way.

I'm 5/5 on Tachi: Shoha and have STR merits. All I have to do is swap to Quint Spear to wipe out a NIN's shadows, switch back to a GK, Meditate, and I can one-shot a ninja.

Also, Meikyo Shisui > Mijin Gakure.

[Clo]

Ninjas seem to have better movies. Or do samurais have better movies? :confused:

All I can think of the Last Samurai, and yeah.

[Rantz]

Ninjas have better moves, but samurai have better movies.

I choose dinosaur.

[Shorty]

You can't pick dinosaur, babe :colbert:

[Jowy]

having honour won't help you avoid getting a dagger to the back and shuriken to the face

[Slothy]

having honour won't help you avoid getting a dagger to the back and shuriken to the face

Duh. That's what blade grasp is for.

[Clo]

having honour won't help you avoid getting a dagger to the back and shuriken to the face

*gasp*

You're Canadian!

[Araciel]

Samurai. I neednt expound.

[Denmark]

*gasp*

You're Canadian!

dabrowski's argument is now invalid because he didn't spell honor the american way. samurai (samuraiD?) is clear winner here

[Araciel]

Spell it the Max Power way.

[Jowy]

I'm spelling it the correct way!

[Slothy]

dabrowski's argument is now invalid because he didn't spell honor the american way. samurai (samuraiD?) is clear winner here

If you want to butcher the English language then I recommend starting your own forum because you are no longer welcome here. :doublecolbert:

[Araciel]

Language threat!

[Jinx]

I've never understood this fascination with ninjas, really. They aren't that cool. Pirates are better. Samurai are better.


Fuck ninjas.

[Clo]

Ninjas are hired hands. Samurais have a lifetime of duty, training and cool pants.

[Jowy]

can i go twenty four hours without getting inadvertently threatened with a ban?! :aimsad:

[Clo]

Who the hell threatened you?

[Slothy]

It wasn't inadvertent, but it was directed at Denmark.

[Clo]

Great, he's Canadian and a paranoid schizophrenic.

[Jowy]

I wasn't being serious! :aimsun:

[Araciel]

BANHAMMAH

[Clo]

I derailed my own thread. :(

So, ninjas?

[Jowy]

ninjas all day every day

[Shorty]

can i go twenty four hours without getting inadvertently threatened with a ban?! :aimsad:

If you keep voting for the wrong team, absolutely not :colbert:

[Jiro]

I still can't decide. Can't I be both?

[Clo]

Ninjas have no honor. A samurai cannot be a ninja. :stare:

[Jiro]

That's a blanket statement that is not necessarily true.

[Christmas]

No polls? :bigsmile:

BTW, at least we can conclude that Japan produces cool warriors and assassins. :bigsmile:

[Raistlin]

Ninjas have no honor. A samurai cannot be a ninja. :stare:

Have you read Shogun? Many of those samurais were dishonorable dicks! It depends on what portrayal of ninjas and samurais we're going with here.

I salute you sir for your reckless endangerment of your character's life!

I would say samurai, but I don't want to be associated with Tom Cruise, so ninja.
Arthur has the right of it, if Tom Cruise is fit to be portrayed as a samurai how honorable, or sane for that matter, do you have to be? :colbert:

Ninja, all the way baby. <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/ninja gif/Jehuty201/Ninjagif.gif?o=7" target="_blank">http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk179/Jehuty201/Ninjagif.gif</a>

[Pike]

I'm rather surprised at the lack of samurai support here :mymelbert:

[aliciad]

Ninjas are always cute, for surly i go for ninjas.

[Pike]

Yeah the whole mask thing is pretty cute I suppose

[Jiro]

Cute and ninjas are not words I would put in the same sentence usually.

[Jinx]

I'm rather surprised at the lack of samurai support here :mymelbert:

Did you not see my samurai support? :(

[Pike]

Yes but we need more!

[Bubba]

Yay samurais...

:cheer:

[Unbreakable Will]

Yay samurais...

:cheer:
Only if it's Jack. :colbert:

What, no samurai smiley?

[Citizen Bleys]

EoFF isn't cool enough for a samurai smiley.

[Quindiana Jones]

From afar, that smiley looked like it was just the eyes peeking through the site, and I thought it was pretty nifty. But then I realised it's just a ninja face. :(
