We are n0ot talking about videa game knights and samurai, you douche. We are probably talking about the REAL WARRIORS that existed centuries ago.

At any rate...

I would say a Samurai could be better, but only due to some clauses. Not only is he faster, but you forget that his sword usually has a slender tip. If the Samurai could evade attacks from the Knight and find a weak point in his armor, a simple impaling would probably defeat (or possibly kill) the Knight. Other than that, Knights have a greater adventage
</font>[/quote]You're dismissing knights as slow - they may be portrayed that way in the movies, but in reality knights were trained rigourously in terms of agility. Also, the knight would probably be using a shield - which samurai rarely if ever witnessed in their time. And no, katanas cannot cut through steel.
