Earth Meld S:CE question [LSJ]

[Kevin M.]

Meth A is active. Meth B is reacting.

Combat happens, blah blah, Vamp A declares their strike as S:CE via
Majesty, Vamp B declares their strike as S:CE at superior via Earth Meld.

Does Vamp A's S:CE "end" the combat, and therefore negate the effect of
Vamp B's S:CE (and untap), and therefore Vamp B stays tapped? Or does
Vamp A's S:CE "end" the combat, and then just after combat Vamp B untaps?

The strikes resolve simultaneously [6.4.3].
Both strikes end combat and B untaps.
