If we're not going with the fact that Lalafell must be able to hold their own physically to continuously keep up with their Hyur and Roegadyn counterparts in the Yellowjackets, the Blades, the Sultansworn... then it means that a -lot- of Lalafell are just able to fight at better standards. Their skill level in terms of combat knowhow and such would have to be, in average, at higher level than their larger counterparts.
We're applying the laws of physics, reasonably so, to a world in which we don't know what the laws are.
I don't know. It's possible part of the "edge" lalafell have is that majority of someone else's opponents are going to just be larger than what you're used to. If you're an archer and you're used to hitting people two yalms tall and suddenly you've got a quarter of that target size? It's going to come into play. Similarly, if you keep your shield at chest height - the place most opponents are going to be swinging - you're at a serious disadvantage when your foe is swinging for knees and belts. Without crouching - an awkward position to fight in, to say the least - you're not on a level stance against someone completely comfortable.
I don't think it's better standards, I think it's different standards. Put the fastest qwerty typist in the world on a dvorak keyboard and watch them struggle to outpace someone who's only been typing on dvorak for a month.
