Well, there's also PIS\CIS\specific weakness thing.
Karate Kid's powerset\skillset makes him a nemesis of any brawler, but put him against somebody more versatile in PIS\CIS-less fight...and his chances are considerably lessening there.
Example- Karate Kid can take down Hulk, since Hulk is one-dimensional brawler. But I don't like Karate Kid's odds against for example Exodus.
Having opportunity to beat some class of charactersdoesn't mean moving up or down, it does mean having advantage over said class. In Karate Kid's case, he's a nemesis of one-dimensional brawlers\characters who use brawling as preferred way of fighting.
