Who do you think would win in a close combat battle? No back up from either side, just solo.

Tartarus stands over 9 feet tall, and wields the Fist of Rukt, and is a cunning leader.

Ripa Moramee stands at 8 ft 1 and is considered taller, stronger, and more violent and reckless of a leader than other Elites. He also wields a special energy sword that he can draw quickly.


Who would win in a deathmatch between these two?
Just curious to see what everybody else has to say about this. It'd be a pretty interesting fight.

EDIT: If you are going to place a vote, explain why you chose it.

Have you even battled Tartar sauce in Halo 2? This is like having a morbidly obese hamster without legs fight a gorilla to the death.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

It depends upon whether Tartarus has that shield of his. If he does, no contest, because I doubt Ripa would have the patience to use a particle beam to weaken Tartarus.

If he didn't have the shield, it'd be an interesting fight, to say the least. But I have no opinion on the matter.

"Find where the liar hides, so that I may place my boot between his gums!" - Rtas 'Vadum

Tartarus would tear Ripa limb from limb.

Ignoring the fact that Thel had to have help from Johnson and all those other Elites, Tartarus has been described by Truth as being able to rip to shreds a fully sized Hunter.

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

Tartarus would probably fall over and not be able to get up.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

For me it depends. Does Tartarus have his god shield and The Fist of Rukt?

Personally I think:

Tartarus completely unarmed < Ripa 'Moramee with Swords.

Tartarus with any help > Ripa 'Moramee with anything.

It's only because he was too arrogant. Facing a foe like Tartarus, he would have no time to be arrogant or show off like he did, or underestimate him.

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

While Tartarus has a hammer that can kill anything easily, and an almost impenetrable shield. Tartar sauce can also leap extreme distances. Ripa can't possibly win.

If Tartarus really wanted to, he could just use his gravity hammer and toss Ripa off a cliff

I dunno. He's had pretty bad luck with pushing Arbiters off cliffs.

  • 10.04.2011 5:16 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Obviously Tartarus, I've always maintained that 'Ripa was the worst Elite ever, and he was.

Well, he did toss the Arbiter down the library shaft. He probably would have died if it wasn't for the Gravemind

Tartarus. One it from the fist of rukt and bam ripa's dead. tartarus would rip him to shreds. I'm just sayin'.

Ripa looked kinda big for an elite.

Tartarus would wipe the floor with Ripa. Those energy swords? He'd ignore them as he crushed him with Rukt.

That was his point.

Gray socks are best socks. White is second, black third. Every other sock color is simply horrible.

Rukt renders Ripa's swords irrelevant.
