Samurai have fought opponents on horseback before, they can easily take down the Knight who would be down and have to lift his visor I'm sure the Samurai could out fight a Knight on the ground. Knights were weighed down by chain mail etc. They were not very good without some sort of a shock value. | ||

what you really should consider is that samurai and knight's weapons and armours are designed for different kinds of warfare. not to mention that in the days of cold weapons... Asian typically had far larger number of men in the armies. | ||

,best thing samurai could do is go behind the knight make him fall then when he is on the ground find an opening. but then again the samurai got a heavy armor too so he wont be 2x as fast. to everyone saying samurai can just run away and wear out the knight. the knight can just sit on his ass and wait. | ||

So, unless the knight runs the samurai over with superior length, the samurai can just keep hacking away until the knight is left with stubs of weapons. | ||

Samurai fought the mongols, using Chinese and Korean troops. Samurai had to adapt. Those soldiers used shields, catapults and explosives, for example. When Hideyoshi invaded Korea the only thing the Koreans had going for them was their composite bow. Samurai were superior in all other respects. Knights get butchered by simple men with pole arms. Their horses are disabled by arrow fire. Crossbow can penetrate plate while bows can't? So what exact tech levels are we talking about? What time period? Katana isn't going to do anything to plate. Are they allowed to adjust? Or are they forced to use their stereotypical weapons? | ||

Even though Knight's plating is advanced and harder. Samurai just needs to get close. After he gets close -- he can pierce the knight with the agile katana easily. | ||

In Arena DM the Knight would probably win because he's pretty safe and doesn't have to move a lot. Though the Samurai might just make use of physics and let him run against a wall. In SD I've got no idea. Probably a draw. Whoever starts crying first loses. In UMS the one with mapping skills wins which would be the Samurai because Knights are dumb as fuck after years of living inside a box. In FFA... you pick. There's quite a lot of game types, I don't know where to stop! Take map imbalances into consideration as well... x_X | ||

Better armor - only a little heavier, but in this case negligable since it's a duel and not a marathon. Deflecting platemail, ring mail, padding for blunt trauma. better training - not just fencing and swordplay, but even good old fashioned grappling and pummeling. more diverse arsenal - hammer, shield, dagger (when grappling and going for the slits in the armor), longsword, broadsword, all depending on scenario. Take the good old longsword, only weighs like 30% more than the katana (1.3 kg), you can grip down on it (on the blade) if in close quarters, you can use it as a hammer, sharp pointed for piercing etc. It's not primarily used for slashing. bigger and stronger. In just about all categories the samurai loses out, but the most important one is size and strength, especially since they are both armored. Bigger and stronger usually wins. | ||

Do they get horses? Do they get similar era weaponry? Where does the battle take place? Do they know what kind of opponent they are facing and get time to prepare? Are they in an enclosed area and if so how small? Are these seasoned fighters or aristocratic men? What state of mind are they in as the enter the fight? I think the knight would be best served coming into battle with light leather/chain armor, a small buckler shield, a sword he can comfortably wield with one hand and a crossbow. Heavy plate armor in a 1v1 fight is asking to be brawled into submission and stabbed. | ||

Don't underestimate skilled shielduse. Weapons get stuck in shield. Weapons get blunt or break on shields. Shields are also offensive. *Bash* It can knock the weapon out of the oponents hands. | ||

I so want to see you wearing a real knight's armor and then swing the shield in all glory. I'd take the bet your face hits the ground first. | ||
