The thing is, ninja's have been around since ages ago but kids wouldn't know about them till they are around 13 because some ninja manga's are kinda rude whereas pirates are new but its ok for children to know about them because Disney mussed up their image.
Ninjas are silent and kill people quickly. While pirates pillage villages and such, however, they have guns, so that's an advantage.
I think there was something like this on Deadliest Warrior and the pirate won. Here's the score table. I couldn't find the video, though. It could be on YouTube.
my armatar says it all. i just hope it isn't a woman
To me it looks like a woman since the eyelids are bluish and it looks like eyelashes are there so...
Well ninjas are more suitable for stealth combat but when they go head to head against a heavily armored warrior then they're beat. Just look at the Deadliest Warrior* episode where the ninja faces the spartan.
Pirates well, I guess they're more suitable for head-to-head combat since they have cutlasses, pistols, blunderbuss, and other stuff and the guns give them an edge in battle since plate armor became heavily outdated when bullets came. Look at the Deadliest Warrior* episode where the pirate fights the knight.
Personally I'd go for the ninja being better since most of the time the ninja would have already slit the throat of their target before they even hear him.
Same here Strop. I don't know if this reflects a change of the AG crowd, or if the piracy people are offline.
Whenever I see a Pirate versus Ninja thread on AG I will be reminded of this.
Anyway, I'll be a pirate. Pixie214 convinced me a long time ago, and honestly if I was to be realistic being a pirate would be much more entertaining. Both aren't necessarily glamorous, but I'd prefer to be given the opportunities that pirates had.
If you ignore reality, I'll be a ninja. The ladies will love me for my magical powers, sharpened senses and enhanced libido. I'll be able to kill you and no one will remember you even existed.
