Since when was that a melee weapon?
Well, Sisok, if say, a Japanese samurai and an English knight fought each other, depending upon their accoutrements, I think it would matter much more which of them were better fighters. Back then, warriors from all countries were extremely strong, very disciplined, and usually quite skilled. I guess the samurai would probably have better armour, but the knight's weapon might be better for piercing armour.
Then again, actually, I guess the samurai would have the advantage there. The average european warrior was skilled in one particular type of weapon, which the Japanese warrior would know how to use a spear, a bow, or a sword well- which means he could use the spear to pierce the knight's armour.
But, I'm mostly just guessing. Like I said, what would matter most is which of them were better.
