It doesn't matter which side you put the Scotsmen on because eventually they just start fighting everybody, and then when they're done with that, each other.

Oh man you guys should go read the Medieval II: Total War Let's Play and tell me jack about Scotsmen. (Caution, it's akin to reading a book, I'm not kidding, it has 9 PDFs)

Scotsmen totally rule.

Yeah, I played it out in my mind, and in a battle of 500 vikings vs. 500 samurai vs. 300 spartans, spartans win. The samurai, while deadly, would be horribly equiped to deal with the armor of the vikings and the spartans, and the spartans were, as we all know, tactical enough to make up for a disadvantage in numbers.

Samurai lose first, then Vikings, then the Spartans all die because their water supply was poisoned earlier that day by 3 ninjas. In truth the ninjas poisoned everyone (but themselves), but only the Spartans lived long enough to actually die from it.

Spartans were really good. However the Norsemen could take them because they've got better armor and weapons compared to the very weak brass and bronze armor the Spartans were using.

Oh, and a good cavalry charge by European knights would take them all down.

Scotsmen totally rule.

You mean rule at massing armies of lightly armored footsoldiers in the field against English longbows? Cause they totally ruled at that.

Yeah but then the Golden Horde would take them all to pieces.

Hey, you got to give the Scots credit for all the things they've almost done. They've almost developed weaponry beyond that of the bronze age.
They've almost blown up the British Parliament building.
They've almost evolved their accent to a point where I can understand it. Almost.

Anyway, back to ze triple match: I don't care who you send in there, I'd just send one guy in. One guy with a suitcase nuke strapped to his chest (this would be voluntary, of course, you'd just have to find a crusader who hated Samurai, Vikings, and the Spartans. Now that I think about it, a Scotsman with a suitcase nuke might be the most dangerous man alive, because he's certainly not afraid to use it. (I'm not insulting the Scots w/o experience to back it up, my best friend's grandfather is Scottish, and he's just like this).

EDIT: (Well, except for the suitcase nuke part. He'd rather settle all his fights with fists. Ex:
"Hey, Graham's grandpa, what's hangin?"
"Eil tich yea te rispict yir ilders! C'mn, yea meggity cops, you; put up a feet, whie donchu?"
"Sorry, let me just... go over here"
"Thit's right, roon wheel yea can, yea doosty skiliton!!!"
Despite all this, I like him a lot.)

The Horde wrecks up their party too.

It goes like: Carthagenians < Roman legions < European cavalry < Mongolian hordes, because the Mongolians just happened to have training and a consequent model of warfare that outstripped anything else at that time or prior to it, owing mainly to the necessities of day-to-day survival on the steppe. Nobody else had a huge body of men trained to ride horseback while also firing bows that incidentally also outstripped the range of any bow anybody else happened to be using at the time, so there just wasn't a whole lot any given army could do when the Mongolians rode up, rained arrows down on the army's heads, rode away as soon as the army tried to advance (while still raining arrows down on the army's heads), then turned around when the army got tired and rained yet more arrows down on them. You could bring all the war elephants and germanic barbarians and whatever you please, and then the Mongolians turn them into pincushions from farther away than any of your people can possibly hope to reach. And then Genghis Khan dams your rivers and floods your entire city, cause he's just that kind of asshole.

I ban the fuck out of both of them and anyone who happens to be in their general vicinity.

TP Link vs Cloud. No contest, Cloud. ALttP Link might have a chance Or full powered OoT/MM Link(Nayru's Love + Golden Gauntlets + Giant's Mask + Great Fairy Sword would be pretty damn broken. Invincible, capable of throwing mountains(if the gauntlets power up parallel with his size) and wielding a sword capable of making the Buster look like a toothpick, with the aforementioned strength).
And cause I'm bored by this, I'm gonna have how they'd do in the gypsy paladin debates and catfight. Cloud wins the debating and catfight sections though, due to him being able to talk and apparently looking good in a dress thus being the only one able to enter a catfight. Link wins if it happens though cause FF7 Cloud never launched several dozen ton rocks or turned into a Giant.

Oh and I've done this debate before(except the catfight and debate side) hence the complete answer.

Ganondorf vs Sephiroth - Which Ganon?Any of the reality warping or control those with evil in their hearts ones would destroy/control Sephy.

Sephy wins the catfight section for the same reason as Cloud, Ganon couldn't pass as a woman. Though Ganon would win if it happened by pulling Sephy's hair, until he cried, which wouldn't be long cuase Ganon's tough and Sephiroth looks like a crier.

Debate, Ganon cause Sephiroth's pathetically badly written. Wheres Ganondorf while cliche is awesome.
