I also think that people should just admit to their strengths though. If another character is meant to be stronger than me(assuming he's not some random that walks along and claims to be the new heir to the empire's throne) then I have no problem with getting thrashed in a fight scene. I'd just like the same in return. For all I know people ARE more than willing to oblige, I just remain skeptical and avoid it regardless.
Two of my three 'main' characters are average fighters and are slightly above in a specific area unique to them both. On the other hand I have a third character who is literally meant to be strong. Being strong defines his personality because it has turned him into an arrogant piece of work and frankly I was looking forward to someone actually beating him at one point. Though against most typical or even "good" fighters I'd have liked him to come out on top. Albeit, I feel that people would deem that as too much to expect.
