Yeah, I particularly liked how he stated that any animal in "Vikingland" just deepfroze and died on the spot, so the vikings must go raid for food... But fortunately the vikings eventually invented IKEA, so they could trade food for sword stands instead.
Forgot to mention something my sensei thought me about ninjas vs. pirates. Pirates' effectiveness is directly proportional to increasing numbers of pirates deployed, while ninjas are inversely proportional. The more pirates you have the better they are, the more ninjas you have the less effective they are.
I was very sceptical against MapPats video. But damn Eugene did change my mind. Glad we have Ninja Eugene to clear up all the BS that Shad, Skalla, Metatron and company been telling about this
Though, to be fair, mail isn't found very commonly from the Norse during the Viking Age (at least archaeologically), and the average soldier likely wore far less in the way armour. Of course, that's true of most soldiers at most times.
Japanians are geniuses. Their katanas can cut through the fabric of reality and their arrows can puncture the thickest and hardest armour. Also, their bows have a draw weight of ∞ lbs (roughly equals ∞ kg). It's quite obvious who's the victor.
What're you saying, Ninja Eugene!? Vikings would win, of course! They have Brendau, which can fire 7.62 Talwar Pommel Rounds that can destroy tank platoons.
I usually enjoy Matt's videos, but that video was just... a magnificent shitshow of faulty information and random bits of common tropes from games and TV quoted as fact. He is totally right about Scandinavia though. I would know, seeing as I live in the permanently frozen north. Up here we totally just take our longship down and raid the rest of the EU for food. Then we sell it at our IKEA's, because real men live of cold air, rust and salt water. That's the food you need to really bulk up and grow some proper hair on your body. Because in this frozen wasteland clothing is for the weak and the man who shaves is no man. Armor though, armor is the greatest sign of weakness. We have no need for it. Rust and the cold makes your flesh strong. There is no need to cover your weak flesh in metal, if your flesh is strong as metal. Because that's a totally accurate description... or, well, at least as accurate as Matt's video.
Realistically if a knight and samurai both from the sixteenth century with equal years of experience and level of skill were to fight, then the knight would win 99% of the time. Both knights and samurais had pole arms, so that's mute. Samurai's bludgeoning weapons were typically made of wood, so they'd be far less effective than a steel morning star against full plate harness for instance. It's doubtful that the samurai bow or yumi bow (I believe it is called) would even be able to penetrate full plate harness with its weaker draw weight. And finally we come to the katana; the sword that can cut through mountains and even divide sub-atomic particles. Katana is a slashing weapon that is ineffective against chain mail alone, not to mention a gambeson underneath and steel plate on top. It'd be rendered basically useless. European Swords, particularly those used by knights are more stab oriented, thus having the capability to easily penetrate past the inferior protection provided by Japanese armor.
I somewhat disagree. Assuming both combatants were fully armed and armoured and dueling one-on-one on foot, I would definitely give the advantage to the Knight, but I wouldn't say 99%. Most fully-armoured duels most often ended with grappling and stabbing the opponent through the visor (lifted if need be), or at least that's the impression I'm given. Samurai armor is good, but it isn't nearly as durable as it's western counterpart, and western swords are certainly better at defeating armor (but are still by no means the go-to anti-armour weapon). However, with dominant positioning in the grapple, either combatant would defeat the other. Knights would certainly have the strength advantage, partially because they're a larger race (diet also being a factor in size as well), and partly because their training was more strength-focused. The Samurai, on the other, would have some useful tactics granted by jujutsu in particular. Chief among them would be techniques such as the shoulder-throw, which allow one to utilize an opponent's forward momentum to send them to the ground, as subsequently kill them. Knights would be particularly vulnerable to this, as most knightly grappling relies heavily on forward momentum to knock their opponent over, which plays directly into the hands of a jujutsu practitioner. Another would be mount-escapes, which might be marginally useful against an unsuspecting knight. On the topic of blunt weapons, the Samurai's were certainly less efficient, but would effective enough. A kanabo would still be enough to wound a knight in full-plate, just not as efficiently as a mace would. Knightly polearms were definitely better suited in full-armor engagements, but most polearms are at least sufficient to deal some damage, and so could be called at least adequate. I would probably give the knights closer to a 70% chance, give or take. tl;dr The knight would probably win more like 70% of the time.
Well, Ninja Eugene is accurate as usual. At least about accurate as the source video... Also, it is true, you were making fun of badly researched "historical" videos before it was cool. Keep setting trends, my friend.
I actually really liked Gnoggin's assessment of the fight, since he not only addresses the problems with MatPat's video, but he also considers the information presented by people who know what they're talking about, like Shad, Metatron, and Skallagrim.
i'm glad that the warden is the best class in the actual game :D sucks that the lawbringer is bad though. deals the least damage even though realistically, he has the strongest weapon o.O
This is the best video on the subject(in terms of entertainment) and it's a shame it doesn't have more views and you don't have more subs. Also where you been?
Ninja Eugene has the clearer opinions on all of this... or shall I say "facts"? he takes the truth and nothing but that truth, and he helps us all become properly informed on the matter
Guys go easy on Matpat he made an apology episode on this ...he is a very cool guys..Someone who I can watch with entertainment and without my mother taking me off the tablet for every bad thing someone says
if you do reactions like this with a funny personality than plz keeep going most reaction videos are just unneeded and stupid to watch but u do it funny and sarcastic #loveit
from a historical standpoint the irish vikings were slaughtered by about 300 welsh mercenaries who were knights on horse back led by Richard Strongbow de Clare who was to be king he took around two irish cities dublin and waterford and one town called wexford which is were im from but im no historian so there is more to it but still the real thing was nothing like the show vikings cutting through mail like butter and vikings not wearing armour what a load of horse shit
I want to learn the secret way of the ninja and learn the technique that allows my katana cut through icebergs with 1 swing, not that European swordfighting technique that can't cut in half a plate armor soldier.
3:03 Funny thing is that in WW2 when japan and America fought japan aircraft were quickly out classed, there tanks were so garbage that a Sherman tank in the pacific was like a tiger tank in comparison. Plus America won that war and no ninja's were spared. this is for laughs guy
you see you have a hobby with swords and stuff but as of matpat he tries to have all the hobbies and know all the stuff but no one really can know everything.
Pc Genie, but I want to see what he think about my work. You can search Stav Flash Games in google and see the first result is the game I made. I actually like his reaction videos because they bring points on the fight from his HEMA expirience.
You thought 2,000,000 people actually believed it? Matpat used to actually put in some effort on fact checking, so while one or two things may slip through the cracks he used to still be informative, but anyone whose watched his shit lately knows he stopped doing that.
ok am commenting for the lonely valentine's day joke haha and you got a like and sub (i feel so alone in my world filled with comforth fresh water heat and a roof)
I genuinely couldn't watch this, not because of Ninja Eugene, but because of the Game theorist's comments. Holy crap... I'm not trying to be funny; I genuinely think the character Ninja Eugene is better informed than the game theorist...
Yeah, I particularly liked how he stated that any animal in "Vikingland" just deepfroze and died on the spot, so the vikings must go raid for food...
But fortunately the vikings eventually invented IKEA, so they could trade food for sword stands instead.
Finally, a conversation on this topic worth having. Glad Ninja Eugene cleared that all up.
I ship you and Ninja Eugene.
A masterpiece :D
Metatron Yo bro!
Happy birthday!
Great videos from the both of you 😁😁😁😁
Forgot to mention something my sensei thought me about ninjas vs. pirates.

Reddokk Fheg Lol at first I was gonna get a little upsetti, then l, you know, finished the video.
4:39
I was kinda disappointed you didn't use the song "My samurai" by Shanadoo
HAHA!! Where were you when I was editing?
Forging stuff. But I'm always online on Facebook. :D
Ninja Eugene should _always_ be making videos in your stead while you're sick, Knight Squire...
He did a great impression of me at the end of the video. XD
Wow, no kidding! I fully thought you made a cameo appearance!
Loved how MatPat recognized viking helmet horns being pop culture nonsense but not that vikings wore chainmail like everyone else did at the time.
Though, to be fair, mail isn't found very commonly from the Norse during the Viking Age (at least archaeologically), and the average soldier likely wore far less in the way armour. Of course, that's true of most soldiers at most times.
Alternative history facts
Japanians are geniuses. Their katanas can cut through the fabric of reality and their arrows can puncture the thickest and hardest armour. Also, their bows have a draw weight of ∞ lbs (roughly equals ∞ kg). It's quite obvious who's the victor.
This comment is hilarious. Just took a picture of my screen to send to a friend. xD
As soon as I saw the game theory, I was just thinking *I wonder when knighsquire will WRECK Matpat*
And I was then dissapointed :(
Guys been wrecked enough, and I doubt he even cares... He'll just head on to the next video.
Eli Gibbons As he said, he did it before it was cool.
What're you saying, Ninja Eugene!? Vikings would win, of course! They have Brendau, which can fire 7.62 Talwar Pommel Rounds that can destroy tank platoons.
Aulvikdngr fire arrows would set the bullets on fire tho

Armor though, armor is the greatest sign of weakness. We have no need for it. Rust and the cold makes your flesh strong. There is no need to cover your weak flesh in metal, if your flesh is strong as metal.
Because that's a totally accurate description... or, well, at least as accurate as Matt's video.
You know what woud be cool? MatPat doing a video about Samurai+Knight+Viking vs Ninja Eugene.
I put my money on Eugene.
I put my money on knight
I put my money on... Wait, I don't have any money
Why doesn't NinjaEugene have his own RUclips channel? He's awesome!
Agreed. KnightSquire should just hand over his channel. ;P
Nah. It wouldn't work. His waifu a shit.
Did we just witness Ninja Eugene end MatPat rightly?!
The best par about this is that Saiyans are fucking aliens.
Ninja Eugene is my spirit animal.
"Valentines Day... Again?" Brilliant! Do they have V-Day in England or Australia or wherever you are.
"History. Like that's a real thing."
Thanks again, NinjaEugene, for confirming my preexisting notions about samurai based on anime, Hollywood, and cultural fallacies!

You need to have a channel that's just Ninja Eugene.
i'm glad that the warden is the best class in the actual game :D
sucks that the lawbringer is bad though. deals the least damage even though realistically, he has the strongest weapon o.O
I think we all would love to see a live stream of Ninja Eugene playing For Honour.
Get well soon, sir knight
Your service is still needed on RUclips
I remember this like yesterday, seeing all my favorite Historical youtubers gang-bang on MattPat. It was beautiful
This is the best video on the subject(in terms of entertainment) and it's a shame it doesn't have more views and you don't have more subs. Also where you been?
Metatron, Skallagrim, Shadiversity, ThegnThrand, CloakingDonkey, SnapJelly, and you all owned Matpat's misinformation!
Wow, ninja Assassin's Creed? That actually sounds pretty fun. xD
can see knightsquires real opinion shining through Eugene XD
*casts a meaningful, even loving gaze, to the husaria*
Eugene needs his own intro screen.
This might be the best debunking yet, since Matpats theory seem to be on Eugene's level...
"It's Valentine's day...? Again...?"
That line, voice and expression. Hit a little too close to home...
I know that pain.... The pain of dial-up internet
Ninja Eugene has the clearer opinions on all of this... or shall I say "facts"?
he takes the truth and nothing but that truth, and he helps us all become properly informed on the matter
this video was pure gold, no fuck gold this is Dimond
yes but did ninjas fight cuthulu and the true overlords of the world
Horses
Guys go easy on Matpat he made an apology episode on this ...he is a very cool guys..Someone who I can watch with entertainment and without my mother taking me off the tablet for every bad thing someone says
Ahh, classic naked singing KnightSquire.
Fan service at the best :)
I like how HEMA crowd got their asses burned over a GAME THEORY :D
I very much doubt everyone, maybe not even a majority, fell for what Matpat said in that video.
Oh wow, Eugene for coup de grace. BRUTAL!
Has everyone made a video about this now? Have we finally done it?
Since there's Ninja Eugene, will there ever be Knight Gary?
if you do reactions like this with a funny personality than plz keeep going most reaction videos are just unneeded and stupid to watch but u do it funny and sarcastic #loveit
Do I want to know what Ninja Eugene has written on the wall behind him?
from a historical standpoint the irish vikings were slaughtered by about 300 welsh mercenaries who were knights on horse back led by Richard Strongbow de Clare who was to be king he took around two irish cities dublin and waterford and one town called wexford which is were im from but im no historian so there is more to it but still the real thing was nothing like the show vikings cutting through mail like butter and vikings not wearing armour what a load of horse shit
Ninja Eugene vs Francis! (It's time for a Death Battle)
The katana is magic and the armour is magic.
your satire level is over 9000 😂
GAME THEORY: Is NinjaEugene KnightSquire hiding his power level? Das jus a theory!!
So glad your back
Thank you, KnightSquire!
Does it physically hurt to say so many things that you know aren't true?
They Wouldn't use bones they would just throw theyer Katanas like boomerangs
Ninja Eugene is an awesome character. Please do more :)
I gotta go, i need to see my waifu
I died XD
Yo. Dude. Not gona lie. I never watched it critically like this. I'm trying to sort information and all that. I was dumb and I see that looking back
Knight squire, let Eugene post his ninja training in your channel please.
I want to learn the secret way of the ninja and learn the technique that allows my katana cut through icebergs with 1 swing, not that European swordfighting technique that can't cut in half a plate armor soldier.
I like the video, even though it made me cringe and I kept having to chant to myself that this was just a joke. A+/10
You make Rikimaru proud.
But your hero and personal mentor, doesn't use a katana
3:03 Funny thing is that in WW2 when japan and America fought japan aircraft were quickly out classed, there tanks were so garbage that a Sherman tank in the pacific was like a tiger tank in comparison. Plus America won that war and no ninja's were spared. this is for laughs guy
you see you have a hobby with swords and stuff but as of matpat he tries to have all the hobbies and know all the stuff but no one really can know everything.
MAFIA LORD OF THE 4th WALL he shouldn't make videos about stuff that he knows almost nothing about.
Wecros yee
The knight would win because of pommels
The fucking mouth breathing! hahahaha...
Ouch! Get well soon!
I know this is satire, but it still hurts D:
What does mat pat say about Brian Danner now? I never heard him mention him
but who would win between Goku and a ninja?
I'm glad to have other sources of information on RUclips to inform me that his shit his false when it is. I like being in. formed ;)
plants don't do much ^^
WHATS UP RUSSEL "BLONDIE" BRAND!
hello knightsquire can you react to the game I'm making about longsword fencing?
He will never react to your videos. GET OVER IT.
Why are you asking him to react to your video...
'Reaction' videos are terrible for the most part.
Pc Genie, but I want to see what he think about my work.
You can search Stav Flash Games in google and see the first result is the game I made.
I actually like his reaction videos because they bring points on the fight from his HEMA expirience.
I suppose you meant a general review, in which case it may well be fascinating to see his opinion of your new game.
i love sarcasm
You thought 2,000,000 people actually believed it? Matpat used to actually put in some effort on fact checking, so while one or two things may slip through the cracks he used to still be informative, but anyone whose watched his shit lately knows he stopped doing that.
ok am commenting for the lonely valentine's day joke haha and you got a like and sub (i feel so alone in my world filled with comforth fresh water heat and a roof)
Wait, what? Who is the mentor and deadliest warrior of all time? I want that guy to be mine mentor aswell, but i cannot find him. Pls help ;(

Fuckin geocities m8 lol
Ninja Eugene is a plagiarist! I saw all of his arguments in the original video's comment section, made by weeaboos! :P
Is Ninja Eugene for real or just sarcastic?
you are too young for this channel
Who's Brian Danner?
I genuinely couldn't watch this, not because of Ninja Eugene, but because of the Game theorist's comments. Holy crap... I'm not trying to be funny; I genuinely think the character Ninja Eugene is better informed than the game theorist...
It's valentine's day.... again......?
ha
Plz more of ninja eugene!!
Uh...can you make a video about the Badang? The southeast Asian warrior?
