>Landing on the grill - one hit against Ranma.
That is a hit?  I call that landing on a surface you didn't know
was hot.

>Getting hit by the glue batter - two hits against Ranma.
Actually I think it just landed on a large surface which Ranma landed
on.  It looks like he jumped over it to me actually.

>Two more hits against Ranma.  (Depends if you could the tempura flakes as
>one or more.)
It was kinda hard for her to miss with that one.  She just jumped over the
ring and dumped out the pail of it onto the whole ring in a little cloud.

>>Then Ranma runs after the fleeing Ukyou.  He insults her saying fight like
a

>>kicks her cuts open her shirt with the spatula then breaks the spatula.
 The

>>time he is actually hit is when she slaps him for grabing her chest.
>That makes another hit for Ranma (sort of).
Actually it looks more like two to me.<shrug>

>Only because he was female.  Once he returned to being male, he KOed Mousse
>with two attacks.  Ukyou, at least was dodging some of Ranma's attacks.
>(Not too shabby considering she was trying to hide her chest at the same
>time.)
By my count she dodged one out of a total of five attacks by Ranma.  It was
one of the two after he cut open her shirt.

>Yup.  The difference is that Ryoga's emotional wimpiness isn't hurting
>anyone except himself, while Ranma's emotional problems are hurting
>everyone around him.
Given his record if their situations were reversed Ryouga would be as
bad or worse than Ranma.  As a matter of fact as it is he hurts Akari
by not deciding.  Akane isn't even aware.  Anyway if their situations
were reversed Ryouga would most probably fall in love with all of them
which would be even worse.  I mean what would be worse not being
loved and not knowing itor being one of four people equally loved and
knowing it.

>Oh?  How so?
Just that Ryouga doesn't seem to beat Ranma very often at all.

>I think that was due to a misunderstanding more than anything else.  Ukyou
>is the only one who was probably motivated by anger over Ranma making a
>choice
How was it a misunderstanding.  And yes she was angry, exploding food hehe.

>Shampoo was pissed because she's delusional and thinks that Akane
>has Ranma under a spell or something.
Where does it say that?

>Lies to her and leads her on, amongst other things.
I thought he lead her on in an effort to drive her off without hurting her
by telling her to leave him alone.  Lies?  I think that was covered in
the previous statement.  Out of curiosity is that based on anything
other than the ten year sauce story?

>Whether mind games, fights are meant to be a measure of skill (usually),
>and when you use tricks like that, you aren't judging skill any more.
>Therefore, any fights won using said tricks isn't a true victory.
Funny, to me a fight is meant to see who wins.  A measure of skill is
a tournament which has rules to insure fair play.  A fight is to see who
knocks the other silly first.  In a fight you use what you can to win.
And tactics are primary amongst them.  Basically you are saying that
using a weakness of someone else against them is cheating.  Something
like if their defence is weak on the left side you shouldn't hit there
because
it's not a true measure of the skill of their right side.
