Well people try to compare Saji, who has slightly above average luck to Issei, who has extraordinary luck. Saji isn't that bad off. We're just trying to compare him to a guy with a Longinus with a Heavenly Dragon sealed inside it who has a body made of Great Red's and Ophis' flesh. Does Saji have that? No. And yet I would say he's doing pretty well. Saji knows he can't be Issei. No one can be Issei. Would you say Rias is Yamcha just because she's falling behind? How about everyone else?

Now calling Saji Yamcha is just a plain insult. Yamcha is useless in Dragon Ball. I can't say the same about Saji in DxD.
