 Too true, but don't you think all new character seems more powerfull 
then they really are? You don't know how close Ranko was to losing. As 
stories go, you have to intoduce new characters. As for the rest I said 
it was just rambling to prove a point.

If Ranko was close to losing, then it was your job as author to convey 
the sense of close-run tight fought battle - whereas what you did write 
was about an angry and outclassed Ryouga going down to inevitable 
defeat.  Ranko acknowledged that Ryouga was powerful, but *SHE* never 
seemed to to have doubts about the outcome or to be in the slightest 
difficulty. 

As for introducing new characters... you can if you want, but it is never 
necessary, it is always the authors choice.

P.S.
 Authors note: Ranko like Ranma tend to bost a bout stuff. 

Actually Ranko comes across as quite modest in the stories, wiping the 
floor with Ryouga and then acting like it was no big deal.  It was 
more that your replies to comments involved you boasting about how powerful 
she was.
