Awesome Showdown - Battle to the Death!
 

Most DEFINITELY the robot. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't vote for the robot, but I recently watched all 3 Terminator movies, and that robot looks seriously pissed - not to mention the fact that he is sending out signals, just look at his antenna, which means hes probably calling in reinforcements as I'm typing this.

Vikings kick ass. That's all I need to say.

Ordinarily I would throw my weight be behind the awesomeness that is the Ninja...

but, I have to agree with Medusa, Vikings are where it's at!!!

Don't fuck with the Vikings!

Pirate. I ALWAYS vote for pirate

pirates are sneaky, treacherous, and always have one more gun then you think they do

Are you people shitting me? Ninja, and it's not close.

Ever heard of pirate magic? Robot magic? Viking magic? NO!

That ninja exudes ninja magic.

I don't think that pirate would be able to fight very well. What with his lack of depth perception.

The ninja's crazy strike from the shadow skills will kill all but the robot because those red eyes look like they're infrared.

The ninja will then confuse the robot with shadow clones and then use a spinning blue ball to finish it off. Or at least that's the solution to every ninja conflict in Naruto :D

I know that many feel the Ninja is the greatest fighting machine ever, but thats just because they never had to do battle with the furious awesomeness of a viking.

On a related note, Jack Bauer would kill all of them before tea time.

Gold: Pirate
Silver: Ninja
Bronze: Robot
Pathetic: Viking.

You guys are blowing it. The robot is going to pick up the ninja and beat the others to death with him.

Ninja - dedication, heart, soul and science all wrapped up in black silk. That will take out any professional thug (read pirate) or berserker hunter-gatherer (i.e. Viking seasonal pillager). The robot is only as good as his programming and last tune-up. I am not always confident that a robot will be tuned up and programmed by the best of the best of the best. That means counting on a team.
Ninja rules.

Ninja.

Period.

Vikings get distracted with all the pillaging, robots are easily taken out with magnets and pirates are too focused on the booty. Ninjas are slick, highly focused, and even the girls kick ass. Who ever saw a female viking that wasn't toppling over from the sheer weight of her enormous rack, a female robot that could fight, or a female pirate that kicked ass?

No way!!! The pirate wins every time.

A. The robot will rust away to nothing tryin to get at the pirate on his ship.
B. The ninja wont be magicing anything after a couple cannon balls to the kisser.
C. Pirates have better boats than vikings. Have fun pillaging Davey Jones's(yes the guy from the monkees) locker.

For the fight to the death: Ninja.

Lifestyle I'd like to live: Pirate and Viking are a toss up. With a slight edge going to pirates because their home bases are more likely to be in the tropics, not the great white North.

Robots: Gimme a break...

The ninja has been training for a lifetime in ways to kill people, while the viking and pirates just pick it up as they go along. The robot might be a threat but his mechanical muscles are just too slow for the ninja!

Ninja all the way!

aaarrrrrr - I voted for me pirate matey. He has 2 weapons - thats gotta be worth some pieces of silver - aaaarrrrr

I say the Viking will win!
The skills of a Ninja are only useful to him in the dead of night - the pirate is probably too drunk to fight anyway and the robot poses no threat once his main circuit has been cut. But a Viking on the other hand.. he's an all round the clock killer..

robots will not only kill viking, pirate, and ninja.
they will kill us all.

why do you think the numbers of vikings, pirates, and ninjas are not what they once were?
robots. that's why.

but i do think shalafi addresses an interesting point...
each of the contestants might have an edge depending on the surroundings.
still.
i choose robot.
terminator... i robot... the jetsons... that sony robot dog....
we could go on and on here.

EXCUSE me. Pirates. Have. Canons.

Ninjas largely fashioned their mystique through lies.

Vikings have the finesse of a meat cleaver.

Robots are slow.

Pirates win, paint it purple.

You think PIRATES are drunkards? Vikings invented the tumbler because they never saw the need to put the cup down. Their blood types came in mead and glug positive.

I'll go with the less obvious "white negative space surrounding each character". Everybody knows that once you have your enemy surrounded they're done for.

Has to go with the Viking (being norwegian and all). The wikings are able to do a "beserk" - where they are in an elevated stage of rage, destroying all competition. (Not feeling pain nor fear is an added bonus:))

He's so tough he'll beat them all - and then discover America ;)
