They are near equals, it varies with the individual.
Also, isn't the Elite head fleet commander or what ever in Ghosts of Onyx like 11 feet tall? (citation needed, hold on I'll get my book)
Nylund has hinted that he uses platform boots and a headdress or that he modifies his hologram to make himself look bigger.
And well, the second encounter (Ascendant Justice) was John being tired, but he teamed up on the Elite with the help of Johnson, Polaski and Haverson.
How do you cite? I swear it says 'a meter taller than John and wore blue armor similar to that on Covenant warships'.
Yeah, he did get help, but he was still able to match him in strength, and hold him off for a good while, after being buttass tired, unarmed, and without his energy shield.
He was only able to momentarily stop the Elite, I remember him getting his arm injured by the Energy Sword and well, Johnson was the one that did most of the job, shooting at the Elite from behind with his Assault Rifle.
Eh, they tussled a good while, I'd re-read it. It was only at the very end the Elite almost killed him.
But let's turn the situation around. I'm sure if Master Chief was armed with an Energy Sword (hell, a machete), had shields, and was rested, and took on an unarmed Elite without his energy shield, who was exhausted, the outcome would be different ending in MC cutting down the Elite pretty quick. Even if there were Grunts and Jackals waiting to shoot the Chief, and the Elite was trying to steer him towards them.
Thel Lodamee was more than able to take him on even though he had been fully rested, actually, he beat him in an Energy Sword duel and was about to kill him, but the shipmaster used the gravity lift/well to pull him out.
