  This is starting to turn into a ridiculous character debate.
However....

  I'll put this bluntly: why is it so much of a given that Kuno would
lose to any of the Kenshin characters? Simply because of the fact that
Ranma doesn't have to raise an arm to beat him?***********

        That and the fact that Kenshin is about or at least as fast as Ranma
is (as shown later on when he learns his session tech.), and just as
adaptable. Also, although more time has went by and more styles have been
created, doesn't necessarily mean that they can beat techniques from an
older school that was probably lost over time. Newer doesn't necessarily
mean better.

    And finally, he would have a hard time fighting a Kenshin character for
the same reason Ranma might have. Ranma characters are Martial Artist, while
Kenshin characters (some of them) are warriors with the eyes of the
Hitokiri, and they have fought wars to the death. I mean really, can you
image Kuno beating the Hitokiri Battousai?!?! OR Goro?! The only one's who
could come close would be Ranma (considering he's usually the one taking out
the SPV in the series), and possibly Ryoga.
