Peypeypeypey Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 My initial thoughts are that the Hand seem to already use swords, so that might benefit them. How well trained are they? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenaryblade Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I don't think it would be too much of a stretch for The Hand used to Japanese martial arts weapons to adapt to using European medieval weapons. Plenty of Kendo practitioners adapt well to HEMA longsword techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSkillz Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Heh, the Hand can't seem to get out of the Dark Ages. We meet again, C. T. Much like the last round, I'm willing to bet that at least some of the Hand have disguised themselves for a medieval reenactment or two for missions, and some ninjutsu and medieval techniques blend to an extent.

Bergy_Berg Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I think stormtroopers actually have a couple advantages here. They are both more accustomed to fighting in armor and to using formations more akin to medieval combat. Ninjas in general rely on surprise and mobility. Bog ninjas down in armor and make them act as rank and file troops and they lose their advantages. Pitched medieval combat favors the stormtroopers.
