Ninjas are stealthy.  They are basically just like assassins, only cooler.  A viking or spartan could not defeat a Ninja.  They would be dead by the time they realized there was a Ninja lurking in their vicinity.

ninjas are good at stealth I admit, but what about one one one up close combat? or massive battles or wars?

Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever tried a ninja army, but if they did, it'd be a one-sided battle. The ninjas wouldn't march into war; they'd lurk about and assassinate all of the enemy.

that the thing, stealth is fine and all, but sometimes you need strength when you battle somebody one on one. thats where vikings, spartans and samurai win.

There were strong samurais back in the day who relied more on armor and heavy weaponary. I have a book on it. So the big guns would go first, but before doing so, the stealthy ones would pick some off.

learn a bit of real history before you judge a warrior like the spartans. I wouldnt use movies as your reference for spartan history.

but im talking about warriors, somebody who does not rely on stealth to be a fighter, you can be as stealthy as you want, an axe or sword to the face still kills anyone.

  IF it were a one on one fight its a toss up.. If it were actually a war battle between two forces, spartans/romans/ any regimented unit would crush the others to dust..  Theres a reason why these numerous cultures dominated a large amount of the world and Japan hasn't..    And Japan would have a helluva time agianst a greek phalanx formation.. In the end they would most likely be easilly beaten because they have had no experience in sucha  performance..  Ninja's is a dumb comparsion because they are liek any other assassin in just about any other culture...

   In the end though any Dark Age european army would crush these forces to dust due to the vastly superior technology they had. From Metalurgy, siege weapons to their advanced tactics..   Japan though cool their tactics were no where near the level of Romans, the Greeks, The Huns so on and so fourth..

Ninjas are overrated.  Their greatest asset is hiding in the dark.  The greatest warriors of all time, easily the hobbits.

I wouldn't mess with a hobbit.  Pound for pound they are the toughest fighters.

The Spartans were very mean and well trained soldiers. 300 of them once held a small beach against thousands of their enemies.

I would have to say that the greatest warriors are in modern times. Think about the Spec/Ops, Spec/Forces. Now think about the Spec/Ops/Forces that you don't know about! :P

You get the idea.
