Title: Vlad the Impaler on an episode of a TV show. Did anyone see it?
Post by: darkwzrd4 on July 13, 2010, 10:20:52 PM
Before anyone states that this has nothing to do with CV, I would like to say that this is sort of related.  After all, Dracula was based off of Vlad the Impaler.

Now, on the what I was going to say:

For those of you who get the spike channal on TV, there is a show called "The Deadliest Warrior".  For those who don't know, it is a show in which Max Geiger (a computer programmer), Geoff Desmolin (a bio-medical scientist), and Armond Dorian (an ER doctor) perform tests on two warriors from world history and then runs a simulation in which the two fight each other.

In this particular episode, Vlad the Impaler went up against Sun Tsu.  For those of you who saw this episode, what did you think of it?  And, what do you think of Vlad methods of fighting?  Do you think that he was an appropriate individual from history to base a vampire off of?

I do know a little bit about his methods and how soldiers were afraid to fight him. I believe they said he was one of the earliest to use psychological warfare.. but, I'm really more concerned with who won. I didn't catch that episode... so who won?!

Vlad won of course.  His weapons were more brutal and lethal.

If it were actually Sun Tsu, I think he'd be busy trying to stir political intrigue in Vlad's court or trying to ambush him with mooks rather than fight him head-on.

Well, that's the problem.  Sun Tsu's tactics are meant for combat between armies, not one-on-one like this fight was.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. It's just irksome to compare the two in a one on one fight.
Then again, thernz. It's just for fun so go away.
Okay.

I never watched the sequels.

Oh hell yes! Even Mathias would have his ass handed to him by Vald.

Vlad- "Who's the real Dracula!? Say my name b***h! Say my name!!" *Impaling sound effects*

But you know what would stop Vlad?
A random guy with a gun.

Y-yes. I'm able to forgive the fact that Chong Li's taijiquan beat everything because he was portrayed by Bolo Yeung.
