Don't forget that the entire spear is the weapon not just the pointy end. You can treat most spears like a staff and parry attacks in swift short motions just as if you were using a quarter staff or the like. 3nodding spears are usually less then person length unless we are talking long spears and the like. 3nodding

What if you're stuck fighting in a room neck deep in marshmallows?

Don't forget you can also do slashes with a spear. A well designed spear will have the capacity for slashing.

And yet, hacking and slashing while neck-deep in marshmallows seems far less feasible.
Minus the marshmallows, you might have something.

Whatever I say about spears halberds are the best weapons purely because they're an axe and a spear stuck together.
Even if they're not really designed for fighting people.
It's like if you stuck a sword and a mace together.
Maces are the best one handed weapons by the way. Hammers are s**t.

Because I can hit you with it before you hit me.
Right round the noggin. You won't be standing up after being smacked round the head with a mace though you won't have much of a body after a hit with a warhammer but the simple fact it fighting with a war hammer is an incredibly difficult affair that focuses on ridiculous ability to control distance and predict attacks.
Anyone who can fight effectively with a war hammer and not simply as a skirmisher or a berserker who's intended to die is worthy of respect.

What about an axe? Would that lose to a mace?

An axe is just as ponderous as a warhammer. Maybe a shorter hatchet? But then you lose reach.

Depends? We talking hand axes or battle axes?
Are we talking armoured on unarmoured opponents?
Battle Axes are some of my favourite weapons purely because of how threatening they look however.

Well the smaller the axe the more speed you have, but you have less strength against the mace. The bigger it is you lose the speed(unless trained enough to swing it around like it was made of air) but the more strength you have with it.
