Who wins?
I've got 12 gold on the Vikings, any takers?
It depends on the circumstances of the fight. If it's a caged death match sort of deal, I'll place my bet on the Viking. If it's a free for all, the ninja will just wait around and poison the Viking's mead, the point and laugh silently in the shadows.

That was the problem with that show Deadliest Warrior. It was always assumed that it was a straight up one on one fight. Every culture's warriors have a different strength based on their style of fighting... I agree with Audrin, straight up fight, Viking, given stealth and tricks, Ninja would take him before he even knew what hit him.

Vikings were pretty impressive in their own right... they weren't uber warriors but they definetely were badass.
Not every ninja of the era was an all round package of sneaky death - they had their specialisations, much of which was espionage, sabotage etc not ambushing Samurai.
so true, the Kunoichi (female ninja) were more the info gathering, phsycological warfare/Mind games and poison your meal type. While others were more gorilla combat based.

Which is my general point. These "warriors" excel in their own arena. Ninja were not only the iconic stealthy bast-iches, but they were always sneaky. Whether it was "in-your-face" sneaky, behind your back sneaky, or manipulative sneaky, they were still sneaky. Hence the meaning behind the name, Nin-ja.
Sorry to rant, but forgive me if I did not include ALL types of ninja, just as I only really was looking at the Viking berserker...

The problem with Deadliest Warrior is that it is a bad show :[
Hmm Greg, are you free to side with either? I had been contemplating a Viking character for this path because of the impression ninjas were the bad guys and they were fighting ninjas on this cover.

Deadliest Warrior is a bad show. Along with most of there experts being only half way good at what there experts at. There are a tone of the so called experts on the show. That don't realy know much. And 100% of the time the weapon slection is what kills the show. Limited to 4 weapons for each team is a joke. Where you see some of the warrior pull in front is the weapons they chose vs. what they chould have. Or a understanding for what some weapons are for. So there raiting for weapons is just full of !%#^.
Example:
The ninja egg grenads. They show them being used, but do not show them geting killed in the few sec after there blinded by them? Realy the enemy is blinded and your not going to take advantage of it. What a load of !#@%!.

I would say that there are good and evil of each, so feel free to take your pick... just based on what Greg said though, you may be fighting a few of your kinsmen as well though.

My 5 gold is the guys that fight dirty:). Fair fights a for suckers.
One of the best lines of all time. (Jim Butcher: Codex Alera:First Lord’s Fury)
I wasn't trying to conform to the standrads of a duel. I certainly had nothing to prove to anyone. And I have seen to meny battle to have any illusions about an honorable struggle; If i hade my way, I wold never engage in a fair fight ever again.
What about an Ulfen Ranger who eventually multiclasses into a Ninja along the trip? How are we going to be able to solve the question then?
