With no "exotic abilities" I don't really feel the gap between most of these chars is significant enough to make a constant difference. There are just too many variables. And just because one person is 3% better doesn't grant them an auto victory.
edit
I just cosigning all of this after second read.
only side note I have to add is that you don't nessarily have to be top tier fighter in skill, to be a great chi amper. They can be to seperate learned abilities espcially in comics.
