their culture is still lasting. the culture itself is amazing. same reason i LOVE samurai. it's much, much deeper than the actions, and beliefs.. it's a "way of life."
yes, very cliché, but it's true..

Due to the different transportation methods of the time, leading to knowledge not being shared, both sides would not have understood the way of war that their opponent practiced. The engagement between European knights and Samurai would likely have ended in a lengthy draw.

I think it's obvious that the knight is going to move slower that the samurai. It is also obvious that a pike-wileding knight would definetly win a battle in a closed space, sinc ethe samuari cannot move around to find the weakest spots in the knight's armor therefore the knight would only have to jab at the samurai utnil he gets a hit. Yet, like the posted pictures of samurai show, if it was opened-space, the samurai would just "hop" or move around, avoiding the knights slashes and jabs, until he finds the weak spot and the right timing.Remember, the enemy gate is down- Andrew ¨Ender¨ Wiggin

A pike was a 'formation' weapon, not a good choice for a one-on-one dueling weapon. I suppose it's possible that the knight might 'catch' the samurai with the pike at range. However, the most likely result would be that the samurai would get 'inside' the pike and then the knight is dead.

How is it obvious that a man in plate armour is slower than a samurai ?
How is it obvious that a man in plate armour is better in an enclosed space?
What evidence leads you to think a samuai can simply avoid the knights blows?
What evidence makes you think the samurai's weapon can penitrate plate armour?

Your responce above, feel free to show why a properly trained man at arms or a knight, someone who was trained from age 6 or so to fight, would be so incompetent with a weapon ith which he would be familiar?
Moreover please show how the Knight would some how 'be dead' should he screw up so spectacularly and let the Samurai get past his guard? Did he forget his armour and sidearm perhaps?

"What evidence makes you think the samurai's weapon can penitrate plate armour?"
It seems pretty obvious to me that a Choku-To Katana would have a pretty good chance of penetrating plate armor. My reasons are explained about a page back in the thread.

If the Samurai gets inside the knights pike it's over. If i got inside the knights pike it would be over for that matter.
