Shootout at the corner of O.K Boulevard and Corral Street!

'''Melee: Even. '''A Battle Staff could probably handle a nightstick quite easily, as it's length is probably greater than that of the nightstick. Though, a quick connection with the taser could come as a shock to an enemy if he is concentrated to much on watching the nightstick. (Pardon the pun pleasedonthurtme!)

'''Explosives: Rolento. '''Now I don't know how most countries run their Police Forces' SWAT equivelant, but I'm pretty sure that your average, run-of-the-mill SWAT Team doesn't carry lethal grenades. Tear Gas and Flashbangs I'm sure of (Now Kurtis Stryker's Team may be an exception, I don't know). Rolento's soldiers I'm pretty sure carry lethal Fragmentation grenades. Tear Gas and Flashbangs may disorient your opponent, but they lack killing power that frag grenades have.

'''Ranged Weapon: Stryker. '''Unless Rolento is abnormally powerful and fast, I don't think he can outrange or out fire Stryker's Service Pistol (I'm guessing a Glock or an equivelant of). So, the fact that Styker can attack his opponent from farther away and pour more rounds down range, I give this to Stryker.

'''Martial Arts: Even. '''This may be rather surprising, but I give this a tie. I actually went and did some research on this (due to the fact that I know less than nothing about martial arts). By the vague term 'police martial arts' I was able to find the martial art Taiho Jutsu (or Arresting Art). The modern form of it was designed during the American Occupation of Japan, for when the Japanese Police had to fight off endless hoardes of civilians during the rebuilding of their homelands. It does center on incapacitating your opponent though (and has been revised to teach how to correctly do Taiho Jutsu while wielding a baton/nightstick). Though it's uses are used militarily as the US SAC sent people to learn the art, and know the USAF security people use it on threats. Eskrima on the other hand is mostly designed to be used while wielding a weapon, whether it be a knife, staff, etc. Though, due to the fact that it is 'hand-to-hand' I'm going to take a liberty and guess that there won't really be any weapons involved. Eskrima is a martial that is designed to be able to kill, so that is why Rolento and Stryker tie here.

X-Factors: Rolento. Rolento and his men have more experience, better explosives, and Rolento is a better leader (by your calculations anyway, and I'm not going to doubt you). Plus, Rolento and his men have the XP bonus of being Army Special Forces, though Stryker (kinda sorta) has the XP bonus of being Police Special Forces (is that even a thing?).

'Deadliest Warrior: TIE! 'Another surprise tossed out of nowhere courtesy of LB&SCR. Rolento and his men may have the Explosives and X-Factor bonus, while tying in two places, and losing in one. You do say that it will end with Rolento and Stryker going in hand-to-hand (which I take means they are probably the only ones left), and since in my mind they are tied in both Martial Arts and Melee weapons (just in case Melee weapons are part of the hand-to-hand), I don't see either of them giving an inch and getting an advantage over the other. Rolento & Co. may have the XP bonus, but to me the fact that Stryker and his men have the better ranged weapon manages to even the playing field out enough. So I see both of these great fighters tying.
