One on one, knight probably wins. Force on force, medieval Japan probably wins against medieval Europe due to mounted archers.
JawaLol
My bet is on mounted cavalry. Arrows, no matter from how strong a bow won't go through plate armor. Hell, they'll have trouble with chain
Glephnir4
Shields also work great against arrows and knights had archers as well. Also gonna drop this here. https://youtu.be/Ej3qjUzUzQg
TheTastiestTampon
When I mean force on force I mean a standard European army vs a standard Japanese army. Very few armored knights
Glephnir4
Well in that case it would be a bunch of spearmen on spearmen for the most part with archers and Calvary striking where they could
TheTastiestTampon
Exactly, but that's why a large group of talented cavalry archers wins

the old age Samurai vs Knight debate. Katana was a cutting weapon. not for stabbing. a chainmail is plenty good against that. A gambeson 1/2
kahlzun
But what will you do when he svers you ateriex in the craveges?
Raz0rking
eh...what?
Raz0rking
does also great unless the katana is razorsharp. Full plate armor is not that heavy and mobility is more than adequate. I would like to 2/3
Fraidieponge
Between 25 and 35 kg and i recently learnt that it was about the same for the kind of Armor the guy put a picture on
Raz0rking
35 kg over the whole body is not bad imho. iirc a samurai armor was about the same weight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAzI1UvlQqw Highly recommended, a race between fireman, modern soldier and knight
dannishadow
That was cool. But I feel like just going based on weight skewed it a bit. The soldier and fireman were slowed by the bulk at some points, >
Raz0rking
i know that one. interesting results. you know the youtubers Shadyversity, Skallagrim, Lindybeige and Schola Gladiatora? Good HEMA and 1/2
Raz0rking
see a trained knight in full plate agains a samurai. Would be interesting to say the least
Fraidieponge
Well I'd say the Knight got the advantage, in the way that samurais doesn't have a sword made for stabbing (as opposed to the longsword) 1/2
Fraidieponge
But we gotta keep in mind that those bitches BOTH had access to an arsenal of weapons. I also wonder WHY the Samuraï armor is more about 2/3
BattleMercy
I would inagine the samurai would win, if he pulled a dagger out, and went for grappling, since he would have better freedom of movement due
Fraidieponge
big flat parts. Maybe it does have a better mobility than the european armour.
