Spartan's and Elite's are roughly physically equal, however Spartan's are much better trained. They are put into the best training course in the world at a very young age, and are trained to become thinking killers, a very deadly combination. Even without superhuman augmentations, Spartan's would be extremely dangerous.
Our combatants:
1. Noble 6: One of the better Spartan-III's. Has been shown as being capable of taking on multiple Field Marshall, Zealot, General, and Ultra class Elites in hand to hand combat.
2. Emile: Not at Noble 6's level, but is still one of the better Spartan-III's.
3. Thel: According to evidence and feats, Thel is the most skilled Elite in the entire Covenant. He was a Zealot before being "promoted" to Arbiter, and after his "Promotion", he showed incredible feats such as taking out the Heretics almost single handedly, killing their leader, etc...This puts him equal to a Spartan-III, and is possibly the only Sangheili who can match a Spartan in 1v1 combat.
4. Rtas: Special Operations Commander. This puts him slightly under a Zealot in terms of skill and experience.
Scenario 1: The Elite's both have swords, and the Spartan's are unarmed, maybe carrying combat knives/Kukri's:
A Spartan-III (and II's) training in hand to hand combat allows him to easily take on Sword wielding Elites by utilizing ducks, dodges, blocks, grapples, throws, and counter's taught in many human martial arts forms. They could just duck under a sword swing, then land a right hook taking out the Elite's shields, and a left hook which cracks the Elites skull.
Now lets say that Noble 6 takes on Thel. As mentioned above, Thel is the most skilled Elite, and can match a Spartan in 1v1 combat. This would mean that a sword wielding Thel would have a draw against an unarmed Noble 6, with Thel finding that Noble 6 is too fast and skilled to be able to land a solid sword swing, and Noble 6 realizing that Thel is also too skilled for him to succesfully counter attack and land a solid bone breaking punch or kick.
While Thel and 6 are fighting, Emile would take on Rtas. Now, in Ghosts of Onyx, a 12 year old Spartan-III in crappy SPI Armor, the type thats bulky, slow, has no shields, and does not make the user twice as strong and five times as fast, is shown to be easily able to take on a sword wielding Spec-Ops Elite in hand to hand combat. If a child Spartan-III in SPI Armor can easily take on an experienced Spec-Ops Elite in "hand to sword" combat, than a fully grown, slightly above average Spartan-III in MJOLNIR (Such as Emile), would be easily capable of taking on a sword wielding Zealot with his bare hands, and Rtas's rank and skills are roughly equal to that of a Zealot. Emile would kill Rtas, most likely with a punch or a kick, than go and assist Noble 6, who is still duking it out with the Arbiter. The two Spartan's would then stomp Thel.
Scenario 2: All 4 combatants have swords. Now, contarary to popular beleif, the Spartan's would not win any quicker if they had swords, because Elites are more skilled swordsman than Spartan's are, which means that the two Spartan's would have their swords disarmed in a matter of seconds. Then, we would be reverted back to scenario 1, in which the Spartan's are unarmed, and the Elites have swords. The Spartan's win, but not any quicker than in scenario 1.
Scenario 3: All 4 combatants are armed with the approapriate weapons. Thel has a Sword and a Carbine, Rtas has a Sword and dual Plasma Rifles, Noble 6 has an Assault Rifle and a Pistol, and Emile has a Shotgun and a Pistol. Spartan's are much more skilled in the use of firearms than Elites, mainly due to the fact that an Elites training focuses on the spiritual and honorable practices, while a Human Spartan's training is more focused on the tactical and practical aspects, which is also why Spartan's are more skilled in hand to hand combat as well.
I don't see anyway the Elite's would win in any scenario. u talk to much. Just say the spartans would win.
LOL...
Anyway.. you are wrong i read that Rtas was THE BEST with the Sword... in a battle against a infected Elite by the Flood (who was considered as the best with the sword) he managed to kill him, and he only looses a part of his jaw... You understimate Rtas!
