Do you jack off to pictures of big, burly, hairy vikings? You seem to be in love with them. "OMG, SUM1 SED VIKINGZ WUD LOZE. HOW DARE TEHY?!?!?!?!?!"

See, here's your flaw with defending vikings: you keep changing your viking whenever a new opposition is brought up. A pirate carries both a cutlass and a pistol. A viking would have a spear, bow, or axe. Not a combination of a bow and an axe or spear. Some vikings may have a sword, but only the most wealthy.

Choose what your viking is. Does he carry a shield with an axe, spear, bow, or sword? You can't change him for the sake of the argument.

If your viking has a bow, in short range combat, he'd most certainly be killed by a pirate or ninja. He probably would lose if it was long-range, as well, since his accuracy would probably be poor, unless he was an excellent marksman, then he would most definitely kill a pirate and a ninja. He'd have to be damn good to hit a pirate or ninja on the run not being slowed down by any armor or shielding.

If your viking has a spear, he might have a better chance in short range combat, as the spear would probably be quite long. However, he'd still probably lose if the ninja or pirate was able to take their swords to the spear and sever the point, leaving a blunt stick. Long (medium) range, he'd probably lose again, unless he was excellent in accuracy. Once he throws the spear, he has nothing to use on the offensive if the pirate and ninja are not hit by the throw.

If your viking has an axe, he stands even better of a chance in short range combat. Though, with the weight of the shield and axe, he'd be a lot more sluggish than the ninja or pirate. Though, if he managed to catch flesh with his axe, there's no doubt that the pirate and ninja would go down. There is no long range capabilities for this weapon.

If your viking has a sword, he probably stands the best chance. Though the pirate and ninja depend on their swords for most of their fighting, if the viking is any good with his sword-fighting, he'll be quite the match for both the pirate and ninja. Again, long range is not applicable with the sword.

Note: I did this without the pirate using his pistol. The pistol is a fairly short-range weapon, so a pirate using that and being accurate would take the viking down no matter what weapon he uses for short-range combat.

That's my point though. Pirates are Cutlass and pistol exclusive. Vikings have used (Over the years):
- Swords
- Shields
- Spears
- Bows
- Axes
- Guitars

Whatever a Pirate or Ninja can dish out, A Viking can easily counter using one of the above. As for not being able to use more than one, I point to Baleog the Fierce from The Lost Vikings, who carries both a sword and a bow.
