300 spartans vs 300 samurais, who would win?

Question

Remember the spartans defeated most of the Persians only because of their well placed position in the battle field. lets say this one was in an open field with no horses or any type of calvary, just weapon to weapon combat.

Answer 1

One answer...Chuck Norris !!!!

Answer 2

The reality is it would all come down to tactics and strategy employed... The Spartans fought in one way and one way only, the phalanx. It was the core of their type of warfare (and the rest of Greece as well). The only time the Spartans fought with anything other than the phalanx, was when it broke. And then it was individual warfare.

The samurai would never have broken the phalanx of the Spartans with only foot soldiers. With calvary it is a possibility, especially if they flanked the Spartans and forced them to fight from 2 different angles. However since you negated the possibility of samurai calvary in this situation the only other possibility is for the samurai to employ their archers effectively. (It helps that the Spartans did not employ archers as they thought the concept cowardly)

And for the record... Samurai honor is very much overblown. The romantic ideal of the samurai like that of the European knight is a very far cry from what they actually were.

Answer 3

Spartan would NEVER leave themselve in open for a fair battle. They will always try to find the best advantage and a way to "cheat" and doesn't give a fvck about honor. Even a lowly foot soldiers wouldn't mind chopping the Samurai general's head off while lowest samurai would probably not even dare to touch the Spartan general.

Well... since this question is so interesting with so much different things to thinks about. Not about who win, but how badly spartan would outmatch samurai and how they would beat samurai. I can write books on this so I guess I'll do some research and write a review for my 360 on this. Thanks for the idea.

Answer 4

on condition that both communities were divided by technique of over a million,500-2,000 years technologies can be a figuring out aspect, from bronze to metal. And, both communities stepped ahead their approaches, guns, armour through their existence – you won't be able to say that there is one definitive Spartan or samurai which applies to all. yet your evaluation that a samurai could be more suitable positive experienced is likely off the mark, on condition that, by technique of custom, the Spartan became experienced from the age of seven (six years prior to the classic age of the samurai). In Sparta, for a lot of its historic previous, each and each Spartan became outnumbered by technique of the Helots in a ratio of 10:a million, they strongly relied on their protection stress prowess to live to inform the tale as a u . s ., because of that they were compelled (by technique of the state and upbringing) to coach continually. The Spartan spear became a stabbing and slashing, no longer a throwing weapon (they did use javelins to boot) – the Spartan hoplite became continuously meant to be a member of a unit no longer someone struggling with yet another human being. Swinging a blade, any blade, takes longer than stabbing a spear. A spear geared in route of the eyes is a small objective that travels in a right now line, hence the gap is difficult to guage it may take more suitable ability (and stress) to shrink or deflect a spear than an arrow (btw Samurai bows do no longer have an identical determination or ability as many different bows, like the Mongol composite bow). I gained't come to a end, it truly is a desirable exercising yet one which could in no way be determined, the “Deadliest Warrior”-variety evaluation is riddled with issues no longer least that one can't hit upon a Spartan or Samurai who has lengthy undergone the education regimes.

Answer 5

the Spartans can work as a single unit, and fight independent. the Samurai fight as individuals, even if in a group.

without putting them together we will never know the outcome.

the Spartans would also be bigger and stronger. they held off the Persians because most of them were conscripts or captured and forced to fight. the Spartans grew up with war games and daily training. they did have the advantage of ground also, but a traitor gave the flank path to the Persians. It wasnt only the Spartans there that day. because they had also conquered a lot of Greece, all those villages had to give men in times of need, so the army of the Spartans was a few thousand. but only a few hundred were true Spartans and only those who had male children were allowed to go. and they knew they would die, but if it wasnt for them holding off the pass for those 3 days, Greece wouldnt have had the time to join all its armies, and Greece would be a nation of Iran today (perhaps). I knoe that other factors were present in Persias defeat, but the Spartans at Thermopylae were attributed with severely crippling the Persian land attack.

Answer 6

300 Spartans would win because their tactics were better then the samurais. the samurais would just run in to battle but Spartans would just push them with their shield then cut their heads clear off. But the Spartans did not use the phalanxes the Macedonians used the phalanxes with their shield covering them and 18 foot long spears. Another reason why becuase in the movie there was samurais and the Spartans just ripped them open.

Answer 7

With the Phalanx I would say the Spartans would win. Spartans had superior tactics compared to the ones the samurais used. That alone would guarantee a victory for sparta.

Answer 8

Well the Spartans should win because of their over-powering tactics. The Samurai would have to get awfully close to be able to kill a Spartan but the Spartans have their 10 foot long? spears and not to mention their shields which can protect them from any arrows the Samurai try to fire off.

Answer 9

Samurais would smash the spartans. Spartans used technique in battle, Like calvary, field position. Face to face samurais have much better defense training. Especially with swords.

Answer 10

The samurai had better weapons and tactics than the Spartans. I also believe that their training was much better.

Answer 11

spartans were supposed to be great warriors because that's all they knew how to do, and samurai were warriors with great skill and honor so since neither of them would likely surrender i'm gonna call it a draw.
