Who would win?

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-02-2003, 08:53 AM

Depends on which kind of "maritans" you're talking about.

Do you mean ones from:

Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles? (who weren't the kind you think of)
Mars Attacks?
Those old 1950s cheeseball movies?

hard for something fictional (martians) to defeat that which is not (ninja).

the answer is ninja, duh.

**Karpo_007** · 02-02-2003, 10:09 AM

A regular Joe could defeat a ninja. It would take only take a little range and a handgun. Of course presuming that Ninjas don't use firearms...

*heretic888* · 02-02-2003, 10:13 AM

they do.

almost every American ninjutsu dojo I know of teaches at least some basic gunfighting skills.

in any event, when you say 'ninja' I assume you are referring to the more or less 'traditional' ninja that would go all-out in his or her training (such as the tmnt undoubtedly did) and not just some shmuck thats taken a few classes.

besides, its hard to shoot what you cant see. in many ways, the art of invisibility (which exists on many levels) is the art of invincibility.

**Karpo_007** · 02-02-2003, 10:15 AM

Well the TMNT rarely uses fire arms..

**Kali** · 02-02-2003, 10:16 AM

Yes, ninja have been known to use firearms in defense. But they generally aren't well-rounded or multi-purpose weapons, and I personally don't really like using them because of that.

Plus, there are many more ways of fighting a battle than combat. I gotta go with ninja.

Edit: Gah! I hate it when people post while I'm typing!

That is because they don't carry guns. They do, however, undoubtedly possess the skill to use them if the need arised.

Yes, on the whole, most ninja dont carry weapons on them.

Martians would win easy, they have special powers where as ninjas are puny humans.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-02-2003, 01:40 PM

How could a ninja defeat that?

Well, on first glance, I notice they don't have skulls... Or maybe they do, I'm no expert on Martian physiology.

Special powers?? Like dodging a sword stroke blindfolded?? How about batting shuriken out of the air with a sword blindfolded?? Or sending a full-sized man flying with a two-inch punch?? Or crushing small boulders with one's bare hands?? Or knocking down relatively high trees?? How about throwing a full-sized man to the ground without even touching him??

Besides, I don't think 'martian powers' would be much help against sniper rifles, fully automatic weaponry, poision gas, and incendiary mines.

With a land mine.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-02-2003, 11:56 PM

How about the Martians just blow up Earth and take out the Ninjas and you with it.

*heretic888* · 02-03-2003, 11:32 AM

'blow up' the earth, huh??

and how, praytell, will they accomplish that??

With laser beams shot from their ships in space.

*heretic888* · 02-03-2003, 09:49 PM

You and I both know these creatures don't possess the technology to do that.

Besides, a laser by its very design and function would be incapable of destoying a planet.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-03-2003, 11:50 PM

yeah whatever.

Ninjas would win if the martians aren't cowards and proceed to burn our planet from outer space. And even if they do, they'll still have to deal with Space Ninjas!
