same lvl, same gear, same wep +3/5 or sos w/ ever the s/s will win I think cuz he has higher mag def and the spear dont have def against KD/stab

[__MagnuS__]

Pot war. Block, KD, stab stab stab. Rinse and repeat. S/S will eventually win because of the block and KD/stab. Unless the spearman's zerk is full...

[Gman22]

Spear can block when knocked down though. Unless that spear person doesn't switch to shield.

[Hawkster]

yeah but spear does stun them but KD stab will kick in sometime...

If the spear is played the way I play... then the spear can stay alive for quite a while. After being KD'd, switch to shield, as soon as you get up, phantom away (if your phantom walk isn't maxed, this won't work as well). Instantly switch to spear and nuke. However, you have to expect a nuke from the sword user as well. If you practice this you can time your nuke to launch before his does then you can switch to shield to lessen the damage of his nuke. There's a lot of little tricks like that you can use with the shield since some spear moves have a wait between them.

I'll go home tonight and make a short video clip to show you what I mean. I fought the same guy using 2 different fighting styles. My style and the traditional SSS, Ghostspear style. I died everytime using the traditional style but using my style we tied 5-5 after 10 fights.
