@The Ultimate Pawn "you're saying that Issei has all the advantages when he doesn't." I never said this. I only said he had the most advantages. Most =/= all.

"Rias has quite as many advantages as Issei does." Objectively false and it has been explained to you before. By this point you're just in denial.

"You're not Ishibumi so stop acting as if the match is decided already. Predicting that Issei will win is fine. But acting like it's an absolute certainty that Issei will win isn't." When did I say the match is decided? When did I say it's an absolute certainty? Dude, you're just coming off as butthurt af when you react in this way and even have to put words into the mouths of others to make your post.

"If you're using Issei's team far outclassing Rias'(besides Ddraig I don't really see how that's even an argument), then Issei should have definitely lost the game in Volume 25 and Diehauser shouldn't have beaten all those god teams as he's only a Maou-class devil." The difference between those cases, as you have ignored when explained to you previously, is that Issei's team and Diehauser's team had strategic, utility and play advantages other than brute strength. Rias does not have such an advantage due to the presence of Ravel in Issei's team and his team's utility factors being vastly superior to Rias'.

"That's the logic you're using to try to turn the whole match in Issei's favor just because you want him to win." Wow dude, you are the biggest case of projection I have seen in an entire month or more. So when people explain to you the multiple advantages Issei's team has over Rias', not only outclassing her in brute force but also in strategy and utility, and you say it's just because people want Issei to win? It's rather the opposite. It's you who can't rely on facts to discuss and can only attack the positions you invented to make your argument, not even the real positions that people have exposed to you. It's almost tragicomedic.

"Because honestly Issei's team and Rias' team will be equally matched." Factually incorrect, and it has been explained to you why that's not true at least in the current state of things. You choosing to ignore that and only take the in the invented position you made up to make yourself feel better does not make the real replies you have gotten go away.

"Why is that as soon as Xenovia got Avalon and Ddraig appeared physically that peoplr started acting as if Rias' team isn't anything compared to them?" First of all, stop calling it "Avalon". Avalon is the name of an island in Arthurian legend. What Xenovia got is simply the Scabbard of Excalibur. On your real question, perhaps it could be because they are immense boosts to Issei's team? Who woulda thunk it~! And you are ignoring the presence of Roygun and the Mistilteinn that Rossweisse got, which is a God-class being's weapon that enhanced her magic to the point it can trade equally with the Satan-class strongest Valkyrie, one shot her once she got an opening and also one shot four Valkyries. You are making these enhancements out to be some sort of minor repair when they are immensely powerful boosts.

"Especially when people were wanking Rias' team to such epic proportions after Volume 23 because of Strada and Crom Cruach being on her team." At this point you are just being illogical. People were wanking Rias' team because it was extremely strong at that time, but guess what? Issei's team has gotten immensely better since that moment, with superior boosts to what Rias' got. Since Issei's boosts are superior, and prior to each of their boosts Issei's team was superior to Rias' (Issei's team without Ddraig, Roygun, Scabbard and Mistilteinn vs Rias' team without Crom and Strada), then it obviously makes sense that Issei's team has the highest chances to come out on top. Stronger base got the strongest boost, that's all.

"You can't use one or two factors of one team to say they have all the advantages." Once again, never said they have all the advantages, That's something you invented. And second, it's not just "one or two factors".

1. Presence of two Heavenly Dragon-class fighters in Issei's team, both of which vastly outclass anything in Rias' team except for Crom Cruach, and when it comes to him, Ddraig is superior due to his abilities and Issei wouldn't have much trouble due to having both his Ascalons. Combined with three Maou-class players in Grayfia, Fafnir and Roygun, Rias' team is outclassed in power.

2. Presence of a literally indestructible Knight in Issei's team, who managed to keep a Chief God with long range and trapping capacity busy. And before you go on about your rant on stamina, Arthur, who had to expend stamina in both dodging and blocking, still kept Strada busy until the end of the game. Xenovia does not have to spend stamina in blocking or dodging because Strada cannot hurt her, so she has an immense advantage over Arthur in this regard, and therefore it's extremely unlikely Strada will be able to deplete her stamina before the game ends. A Balance Breaker which straight up offers an area of invulnerability, and a team member who can change the terrain, along with a Maou-class with the ability to deflect attacks from a Top 10. Rias' team is outclassed in utility.

3.  Presence of Ravel in Issei's team, who has had three successful strategies against Rias' grand total of one, which was against an opponent who wasn't even taking her seriously. Rias' team is outclassed in strategy.

These are three immense advantages Issei's team has over Rias', which consist of not "one or two factors", but SEVERAL factors.
