Let me put this in the form of an analogy. There\'s a big name in...some competitive on-one-one game. Chess, let\'s say. They have a reputation for being one of the best there is, and the number of players they\'ve beaten professionally is countless. And yet...you\'ve never heard of any of these player\'s they\'ve beaten. They\'re nobody. Absolutely inconsequential. And when they go up against people you\'ve actually heard of, people you know for a fact to be skilled...they lose. Every single time. Now, one or two losses would be perfectly natural--no-one\'s perfect, after all, and everyone has weak points--but to lose \'\'every\'\' time? Sure, you can talk about how they \

Sure, you can talk about how they \\\"always put up a good fight\\\" or their opponents \\\"used a totally unexpected strategy\\\"--but the more they lose, the more it feels like these are just feeble excuses to cover up the fact that they really aren\\\'t that good a player.
Now, Mai has the advantage of being a fictional character. Those \\\"nameless nobodies\\\" she defeated presumably \\\'\\\'weren\\\'t\\\'\\\' lacking in skill--they just didn\\\'t have enough importance to the plot to make an appearance. (Furthermore, at the start of Duelist Kingdom, it\\\'s the \\\'\\\'main characters\\\'\\\' who are the nameless nobodies from the perspective of the rest of the world--except the viewers don\\\'t get that impression, because all the focus is on them.) But since we never see them, we don\\\'t know for sure, and the effect on the viewer is the same.
