Vikings vs. Spartans

[RobbPWNS]

I can't honestly say I've ever seen this question asked, so what are your ideas? Who would win?

 

[Cortheya]

Spartans. Better disciplined, better trained, more awsome.

This. Plus they're spartans...you don't get cooler than that

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Spartans they were trained to be warriors at a very young age through grueling trials.. Vikings were powerful warriors too but Spartans were at the peak of human fitness.. Still steroids came along

 

[Shadowlolz]

Spartans..nuff said

 

[Nanissimov]

Spartans hands down

 

[Fightgarr]

We'll have to wait for it to appear on The Deadliest Warrior. We already know that the vikings couldn't beat the samurai.
For the record I think that show is fucking terrible. Its like Jurrasic Fight Club minus the dinosaurs and plus actually including all the retarded "science" behind it.

 

[Hippobatman]

Bah... You all forget the power of the mushroom! They make you twice as big and strong.

Did spartans eat magic mushrooms? No, they did not.

Wait, the samurai won? I watched the first half and there was no doubt in my mind that they were gonna say vikings.

The spartans have a couple advantages. The phalanx formation would give them an advantage on a larger scale and the spear is a nice penetrating weapon.

 

[Bullfrog1983]

One on One? Vikings hands down.

Both warriors live to fight, the Spartans are more disciplined but the Vikings have better armor and weapons than the Spartans.

In a battle? Hard to say...

Probably the Spartans, but I doubt it would be the same every time.

 

[Spacelord]

Vikings had berserkers. That's right: guys that go TOTALLY FUCKING APESHIT on command. You can have all the phalanxes and sissy bronze spear tips you want, you can't mess with a bunch of burly aryans in irreversible kill-mode.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

One on one I believe a Viking would win, but in a proper battle the hoplite's discipline and teamwork would win the day. Berserkergang is worthless when your charging an impenetrable wall of shields.

Note: It annoyed me when the show called hoplites "Spartans." Spartan is a nationality, hoplite is a soldier trained to use a hoplon (the large, round shield).

 

[Deef]

Have you seen Deadliest Warrior? Spartan and Viking have both been on it.
Spartan beat Ninja and Viking lost to Samurai.
In history Ninja beat Samurai, therefore Spartan beats Viking.

 

[Perryman93]

vikings are sooooo much cooler, with their longships, shield walls, pillaging, oh and my favorite books are based on actual vikings that there are records of

 

[sky14kemea]

Spartan maaaan, you cant get cooler than that XD

but im not saying vikings are wimps, it'd probably be an awesome fight, i just think the Spartans would win in the end

who won the Vikings VS the Romans


Vikings

and the Romans were just the Spartans allied together

 

[Rajin Cajun]

Why is everyone talking about Spartan Discipline? Has no one ever heard of a Shieldwall? Bloody hell that was a basic Viking tactic.

This is the internet.
Transitive property doesn't apply here.

On topic. Vikings.
Why? Because they are cooler.

they drank and ate shroms then went crazy and kicked ass, they even lost limbs and continued to fight on

Please don't be so ignorant. Or maybe you're a troll. I dunno.

That. Vikings are like giants with axes, which would work well one on one, but spartans would win an army vs army fight.

Now for a new question, what about pirates vs Spartans? Or Vikings vs Ninjas?
