MNer is one of the few character where, even if the fight is a close, I feel like he'd either always win or always lose.
So I'm not saying it's not a decent fight. It is. But he wins, and every time imo.

Midnighter's abilities only, IMO, make him on par with some of the great comic martial artists. Even Wolverine has feats saying he can beat 12 supercomputer chess machines while performing in the Danger room... or something...
Point being, for the uber MA's, it's pretty much instinct for them to take the most optimal course of action, whereas MN'er actually calculates it... same outcome.

Sometimes even the best calculated course of action leads to a loss ... just ask Data.
