Damn... alot of people love ninjas...

HELL YEAH!! lol

Zelda is both pirate and ninja.
So I like both

Pirates need Ships to traverse water.

I rest my case.

I personally would like to see "Ninjas vs. Pandas"...my money is on the bears...

lol also i think they did that on "ultimate warriror" or i think it was pirate vs someone else..either way, pirate won due to better technology..

I've gotta say... I think we win. We have nukes now.

how long can a ninja run on water?

myth busters prove it can't be done so a whole...0 seconds

They can fly though..... right?

ninjas never flew...they jumped long distance.....and no

<.<
>.>
v.v

they're still awesome

For the last time Ninjas weren't magical assassins, they were spies who occasionally killed people with poison and daggers to the back.

I voted for both anyways. It always depends on the situation for classes such as these.

Jonath, they are as magical as unicorns and strawberry short cake...don't corrupt todays stupid youth...LOL

Actually, the Mythbusters didn't quite do the water walking myth correctly. They were on the right track, but Ninja didn't actually WALK using the water shoes. They used an oar to paddle along, while standing on them, keeping balanced.

As for Ninja's vs. Pandas, go play Tekken 5. =P (Then again, 6 SORTA has a pirate >->;;)

well you need to write them telling them they failed, they go by what the person emails and then tries it their own way..so whoever said with the thingys they used, was wrong.

It's possible they have by now...

I haven't had cable in over a year, let alone seen mythbusters.


Not to mention, I tried contacting them once...I couldn't figure out their damn forum >->;;

fail

True.

Though in my defense, it was years ago, before I used forums much at all.

Pirates vs Ninja is the one fight that Deadliest Warrior will never do, for a good reason. Massive fan wanking on both sides. Plus its an utterly ridiculous concept. Then again Deadliest Warrior is a ridiculous show, the "experts" handle it like a lunchroom debate in Middle School.

Not always. Sometimes they do legitimate testing and research it pretty extensively. If you think about it, how else are you going to determine the outcome of a fight between a ninja and a spartan or a gladiator and an apache?

It's still entertaining.

Sometimes they have valid points but the majority of the time the experts are only tangentially qualified to debate the subject and the debate degenerates quickly to posturing and squabbling.

You expect them to be mature? Have you seen Mythbusters? Their idea of testing something isdoing it in the most extreme way possible and usually end up having some sort of explosion. The whole idea of pitting two warriors against each other from different regions or time periods isn't really all based on expert knowledge. Besides, it's supposed to be fun too.

I wish they would do a Pirate v. Ninja just so the whole thing would be settled, but I doubt they ever will.

In a one on one hand-to-hand match Blackbeard could take down any Ninja, i'll say it again if a Ninja finds himself fighting face to face with someone (which I assume is the conditions for the presumptive battle that would occur) he has failed as a Ninja and is probably about to get his face smacked into the pavement.
Blackbeard only died after he was shot five times and slashed by a whole mess of swords. He died of blood loss.

Ninja's. They'll sneak in during the black of night and kill those Priates with throwing stars. Pretty Easy math there

Have your never played Ninja Gaiden?

That's talking about a fictional character. Blackbeard was a real person and he really died that way. Here's what a ninja really was.
There was nothing mystical about them. No killer weapons that sucked out their souls. No deals with demons. That's all legend and myth.

The only thing is both sides in this match up would be very dirty fighters. They both would do anything to gain an advantage because there was no honor on either side.

That was pretty insightful. My knowledge of Ninja's just increased. The no throwing stars and all black clothing caught me off guard. Though my vote still stands, Pirates are clumsy and use over sized swords while the ninja whould throw a dagger at him and end the fight before it could begin.

screw history when we have the present

Oh and... beat that pirates!

plus Blackbeard was only one Pirate. You can't generalize all pirates on Blackbeard

ninjas would obviously win for a multitude of reasons for 1 pirates may have guns but you cant shoot what you cant see or even know existed 2 the ninja would be like im here and the pirate would be like oh im gonna kill u and the ninja would be all like i beat u to it an the pirate would be like awww im dead

also ninjas are super fast with the ninjato

Deadliest warrior show is kinda moot... They almost always take the warrior out of any natural environment... For example. Why the hell would a ninja scream and jump down in front of a spartan walking through a jungle... WTF IS THAT???

Why is a spartan by himself in a jungle... why would a ninja just jump out and yell "SURPRISE!" Although checking out the damage that each weapon would do was pretty fun.

Don't double post, use the edit feature.
Also you're describing the mythical image of the Ninja as the consumate assassin and warrior when in truth most ninjas would have used long-term subterfuge and poison rather than ninjatos or shuriken.

To be fair, isn't it possible that this mythical image is a part of that "long-term subterfuge"? I mean, making people think they were unstoppable and unkillable masters of the killing arts sounds like a pretty legitimate tactic to me.

Yeah but it doesn't help them in a direct confrontation. Real ninjas vs fictional ninjas are a lot like the image of CIA agents and real CIA agents. Most of the CIA agents are basically accountants or computer technicians of some kind just like most Ninjas were really just spies with little to no combat training.

Yeah, so it only really helps if your reputation precedes you and you can talk the other guy out of the fight.

Yeah because talking things out always worked with Pirates.

Didn't help that they might have been too drunk to care.

That and the ninja's reputation didn't exactly make it to the Atlantic.

The ninja really didn't have a reputation for being anything but sneaky little assholes that pretended to be your servant or friend. It was only until Kabuki and then later cinema that ninjas became black clad assassins.

I thought ninjas were just a radical rebellion group... Civilians that used suprise and really underhanded tactics to defeat there foes....

ninjas cause they're well trained in kung-fu and healthier than a pirate.

You have apparently missed everything Jonath has said within the thread. Congratulations.

Always the pirate!!!
In my opinon they are so much more badass... swashbuckling ... drinking the nights away ... living life how you want to live it.
And as for Pirates vs. Ninjas ... my answer is gunpowder the pirates have it weaponized ... ninja's not so much

Well Im glad my thread has gained momentum again lol

Both pirates and ninja are dirty fighters... So... I am gonna say that celts will destroy them all.

no silly, I ignored everything on this thread simply to state my opinion.

I prefer ninjas

A Tv show called Deadliest warrior did this mock up, Pirates won cause of grenades and guns etc, personally I believe the pirate would be dead and the ninja long gone before his body was discovered, and random quote from a post above, ninja didnt use kung fu,

I admit Ninja's are bad ass... but case in point:

Ninja Turtles were bad ass. They always beat the foot clan... but a note - The foot clan was comprised of an entire army of ninjas! So turtles are clearly bad ass, while Ninja's are moderate at best.

Jack Sparrow road a pair of sea turtles... Clearly pirates are master and commander of turtles that act as their servants.

Pirates > Turtles > Ninjas.

A turtle pirate would likely rule the world, but until than, my logic is flawless and can't be disputed.
