The mistake \'\'you\'re\'\' making, on the other hand, is that you are viewing Mai as a real person, with actual skills. She isn\'t. She is a character in a manga and anime, with no canonical ability other than what is shown onscreen. She wins or loses as the writing dictates, and the writing dictates that she always loses onscreen. She is set up as an incredibly skilled duelist, one of the best in the world, but has nothing to show for it, because the writing will not permit it. \'\'This is the definition of InformedAbility.\'\' A real person cannot suffer from InformedAbility, because there is no audience to inform, no plot to mandate their loss, and no writers and actors involved whose efforts fall short of that person\'s supposed abilities. People in RealLife succeed or fail on their own merits. Fictional characters\' success or failure is dependent on the writer.

Also, [[ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot if you seriously believe any character in Yu-Gi-Oh! is in any way skilled by real-world standards, you are incredibly naive.]]

Also, [[ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot if you seriously believe any character in Yu-Gi-Oh! is in any way skilled by real-world standards, you are incredibly naive.]] Again, success or failure in the anime is defined entirely by who\\\'s got the plot on their side, actual \\\'\\\'strategy\\\'\\\' be damned.
