I think the only thing that really bugs me is the assumed "My character will be better than yours." How exactly do you know that? Do you know if/when my character has been training? Do you know her complete background to make that judgement call? There is no possible way for a another character who doesn't know mine to know how strong she is or isn't. Anyone who walks into a fight oocly (ICly cockiness is a thing) with the attitude that their character is stronger than anyone's is being highly HIGHLY presumptuous.
Now, Armi would probably lose, true, but I know plenty of RP characters who are completely combat capable and to assume they wouldn't give your character a challenge is amazingly naive.
