In every instance we've seen, in hand to hand a Spartan is superior or equal in terms of strength to an Elite. John out-wrestled one, and stalemated a second in the novels. Tom (at age 12) destroyed one in hand to hand, and Jai smacked around the Arbitor before fleeing.
John was losing a wrestling match against a Brute, and Cal devestated a Chieftan in unarmed hand to hand.
It seems like Elites are the equals in terms of raw strength, and Brutes are vastly superior. But in terms of tactical prowess, it usually always goes to the Spartan.
When did Jai attack an arbiter? Oh and we haven't seen accounts of hand to hand combat between a Spartan and a high ranking elite, such as an Ultra, Zealot, or higher.
As far as I know it's entirely Major or below, besides the one between the black armored(spec ops?) and Master Chief.
He means Thel Vadamee, he was the Arbiter at the time of course. And, IIRC, Thel was a Zealot, seeing as he commanded a ship in the Cole Protocol.
Guessing you mean one of Grey Team?
If so, I don't even remember that fight taking place. Sounds like it was more of a surprised smack then run instead of a hand to hand fight though.
Yeah, the Jai from Grey Team.
I believe it was right around when Faison got wounded and insisted on Delgalo leaving him behind to distract the Covenant.
Jai and Thel encountered each other shortly thereafter and had the briefest of fights, so yeah, it basically was a "hit" and "run". It was enough of a fight though for Thel to know that in, more or less, his own words "there were Humans as strong as them."
