I'm not saying they were inferior, but also not automatically superior. What I'm saying is, a European knight would be trained to the same level of a samurai in the art of killing people, PLUS he would have the natural advantages of a bigger muscle mass and longer reach from genetics/diet, and higher stamina from having to adapt to wearing plate armour. Just because the Japanese add a bunch of stuff about "no mind" and moving like the wind doesn't make the fighting style any better, it's just their way of going about it.
