Okay, so I'm just wondering if all of you realise that the Japanese katana would be completely demolished by a European broadsword or longsword. And if the two weapons were in a battle against each other and both the combatants were wearing appropriate armour (the broadsword wielder a set of knight's chain and plate mail armour, and the katana wielder a set of traditional samurai armour) the broadsword wielder would win in that regard as well. Seeing as the broadsword would destroy the Samurai's armour while the katana would barely scratch the knight before shattering.

Just wanted to make sure you all knew that.

You know what's a tactic OP?

Since katana couldn't break the armor, the samurai will use the fucking WOODEN SWORD (bokken) and knocked you unconscious. To finish you up, the katana will slit your throat through armor gap.

You say the armor can protect your head from a full swing? Try yourself. Wear a frying pan or something on your head and let your friend take a good swing. Post the result here for lols.

With those heavy armor and heavy bastard sword, I wonder how agile a knight can move in a bad terrain hmm?

Seriously, if I were to go by what you're saying I'd have to believe every night fights unarmed, and the a frying pan offers up as much protection as a full plate helmet with a layer of chainmail underneath. You have a solid argument here but for God's sakes man, stop being so 12 years old.

All I was saying is that wood < plate and chain, also knight's are agile and smart enough to avoid a swing to the damn head. They're not slow bumbling idiots, they damn fucking move out of the way of things.

/jp lives off leeching their parents. If you are rich enough to buy a knight armor set, then for the sake of science, buy those and start the experiment.

Otherwise, improvised. If you have better arguments rather than empty comments, feel free to contribute.
