Lets see shall we

Leaders: This is a very close matchup. Ridley clearly has the edge in head on combat with his huge size, multitude of projectiles and speed in flight will allow him to bombard Regret and Ripe'Moramee with projectiles while being virtually untouchable with his speed in the air. However when it comes to actual leading the covenent take it by strom, with thier's troops fanatical devotion to them and with Moranmee's skilled tactical mind making a powerful army. However each leaders strength also has a major weakness which stops them from getting a clear edge. While ridley is a force to be reckoned with in combat his huge size makes him a easier target to hit and the cleansing beam will most probeley one hit K.O him, unless he is in his hardened state. While the covenent's devotion and loyalty makes them a force to be reckoned with if Regret should be killed in battle this would have a absoulutly devestaing effect on the covenent's forces, making the jackal's and grunts turn and flee, the brutes into a range and if Ripe'Moramee should also be killed would shatter the orginised ranks of the elite forces. Both have major weaknesses but also major strengths so this one is even. Edge Even

Big Boss: The only real advantage the Hunter have here is the fact that they outnumber the Omega. The Omega has more powerful weaponry, less gaps in it's armour and it's invisibility will confuse the hunters, giving the pirate enough time to plan an attack or retreat if it has taken heavy damage. The Omega Pirate is alo more considerate of it's own troops and will try not to crush them while it is charging where as the Hunters (Who have no respect for the grunts which they are leading) will scatter his own troops around to get to the Omega, leaving them wide open for attack.
