Minotaur vs Centaur

http://www.ugo.com/movies/minotaur-vs-centaur/
I found this hilarious page today...
So who do you think would win in a fight: a minotaur armed with a trident, or a centaur armed with a crossbow?

The centaur ofc, he has both ranged weapon and advantage in speed to kite the minotaur!

Several variables to consider:
Does the crossbow have more than 1 arrow?
Where is the fight taking place?

If the answers are "yes" and "in the open" then the centaur wins every time.
If the answers are "no" and "in the open" then I'd still say the centaur, but it'd be a close one.
If the answers are "no" and "in an enclosed space" then the minotaur has it.
If the answers are "yes" and "in an enclosed space" then it'd be all down to the speed of reload, but most likely the minotaur would win.

Judging by the picture, the centaur has way more arrows than a minotaur might need
So yeah, i'm still voting for the centaur.

Neither, they will be ganked by adventurers.

This.


Will Ferrel got something that others didn't though... which is... Tridents can be thrown with great force and pretty good accuracy as well -- at least by a Minotaur. Right?

I'd say Minotaur tbh.

Edit: Hahaha... Ozzy was just... why did I expect anything else? xD Hulk Hogan picked a third combatant... the senator, which state I don't know.

Edit 2: There we go... D&D (the only one that counts) gave us the answer.

Not sure, but a Minotaur is much stronger and can probably leap or charge quite a bit.. I think he might just catch up with the Centaur unless they're on a really open field or so, I mean.. the Minotaur only needs one hit and the Centaur needs a hell of a lot. (although the Centaur can reload while running at full speed, but I still think people underestimate the speed of an angry bull.)

But yeah, if the Centaur is a good kiter, the Minotaur is dead meat.. but if he gets within melee range (trident range isn't that short) he's a goner.

I probably don't get the point of it... but why do people debate over such at all? o.O














I think minotaur as well.. he could throw that trident.

...And miss. Centaur is just too fast and agile for him

Centaur has 4 legs but he would still strip!

Since when are Horses agile? It's not as if they're a cat or anything. Horses can run fast and jump, that's about it. Ever seen a Horse dodge? No.

And the cenario has been open field, which would put the Centaur in obvious advantage. How about one where both is at advantage... an Arena that has open spaces and confined areas, both which have obvious transitions, then we're talking.

The whole point is not that who would win in the fight, Nerinil... it is the reaction of the celebrities for such a question.

I'd vote for the minotaur; he can block the arrows with his trident, and he doesn't get killed by one arrow unless the centaur is a really good sniper - and if he gets close enough, the centaur is dead.
