This fight was a joke. I don't see why people think Rias was a tough opponent for Issei. In fact the rating game was mid difficulty for Issei's team despite Rias team having power ups. I still say Typhon and Dulio were tougher matches for Issei. Which is sad considering Rias was the first match of the main stage.
