Cause Ninjas are cool. Although I must say, Samurai>Ninja. Ninjas were assasins of Samurai. One major difference though. Ninjas focus on stealth. Samurai focus on honor. Stealth is a useful tool in battle, but isn't as honorable as a fair fight. So, if the Samurai fails to see the ninja coming, he will be killed. However, if he does see him coming, the Samurai will pwn.
Depends on the strategic advantages of the situation really....................
But you forget one major factor..........armor...........
The samurai wore full body armor when they went into battle.........this armor was heavy which tended to slow the samurai down, and making his movements difficult..........especially in CQB.....................a samurai operated better in open areas...............This gave the ninja a great advantage....the ability to move fast..........very valuable in a combat situation.............
A ninja on the other hand didn't wear armor, carried smaller lightweight weapons and were very agile..........and could come from anywhere............many samurai met their doom from a ninja hanging from the cieling (using special claws that were tied to the palms of the hands)........and were very quiet..............
Though they did operate mainly on stealth, when discovered a ninja can hold his own in open battle........though it was highly avoided at all cost...............but in all truth, in open battle between the two, it all depends on the strategical situations at that time.............but I would put my money on the ninja........but thats just me.............
