Skirmishers are definitely not strong vs Mamelukes, only Elite Skirmishers could have a claim for that. So on the normal Skirmisher page, I think it should not be listed to be strong vs. Mamelukes. So I don't know why the discussion continues on this page.

Against archers, Elite Skirmishers have two advantages: thier bonus damage and their high pierce armor. The mameluke deals mellee damage. So the Elite Skirmisher loses one of these advantages, which makes them moderately effective. That is different as strong vs. or weak vs.
