Elites remind me of the ancient Samurai.
They both live in honor of themselves and would never act disrespective against their forefathers or worthy opponents.
Now i wonder what if elites would fight against Samurai both groups with Katana's of with energy swords?
I guess that they are equal and they should learn from each other.

But i like and respect the Samurai more then elites because elites were blind in trusting false prophets so i guess that the Samurai would kick some Covie ass

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Really? I mean...really?

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

Wouldn't a sword bounce off of an Elites armour.

The OP said they would both have energy katanas. Personally, I think it's no contest. While the samurai may have been great warriors, they are only human. The superior strength and speed of Elites would prevail.

Drugs are made to destroy your brain, your teeth fall out and you go insane.
You lose your friends and you lose your mind, your grades go down and you fall behind.
You steal from mom and you steal from dad, to buy more drugs and you end up sad.
You run away from home, cold, broke, and sick, you die and go to hell a drug addict.

Elites were a match for Spartans in strength, speed, and combat skill. Could a Samurai best a Spartan? I think not.

Elites are much stronger than a normal Human and probably faster too, so it is not much of a contest.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Samurai ftw.

I didn't read OP. Only the title. I vote for elites.

The Elite would have to have no armor. If that were the case, I'd honestly give it to the Samurai. They may be weaker, but far more agile. Looking at the Halo Wars fight with Forge, the Elite is incredibly slow compared to Forge. A Samurai could use that to his advantage and slice and dice the elite. Piece by piece.

Ripa was being to cocky and gloating in his victory too much. He was stupid and that's how he lost. Any other smart Elite would have ended him a long time ago.

Not really.

The Elite is bigger, stronger and faster.

But the Samurai were the finest warriors in all of Asia.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

I am sure that any human would be at a disadvantage using an energy sword for (hopefully) obvious reasons.

According to 343i, nope.

Explain.

The Elite would easily kill that poor samurai.

Now, a flaming ninja, on the other hand...

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

What?

Anyway, Samurai are far cooler than Elites and are more all around balanced people. That's what they strive for.

Glasslands. The way Traviss "fixes" the Elites viewpoints on things. I cannot be arsed typing a 10'000+ character post but basically, it was like she took all the reasons mentioned for why Humans were respected, and twisted them into making them reasons as to why Elites now think of Humans to be dishonourable, lying scoundrels with no right to live. (And this supposed to be after the Schism... Completely ignored the changing moral Zeitgeist in the Elites that was the reason for them being excommunicated in the first place) And 343i sanctioned the extremely watered down and rehashed premise in the novel so they are obviously fine with it.

Halo fanatics at there finest.
@ Op
I guess you couldn't stand the thought of anything from halo possibly losing from anything, so you go and do this.
I love your common sense...oh wait.
Well I'll just no vote for the Elite.
Next up, Arbiter vs God Emperor of Mankind.

Since there 8 feet tall, have plasma swords and can go invisible... Elite, they would murder a Samurai just like the Spartan did in Deadliest Warrior.

Elites are not opposed to using new technology. Samurai's were a bit stubborn when it came to that.

are you stupid?
you don't get the point, they are equal.
