I think we can agree that logic doesn't mean anything here, all I'm saying is speed doesn't mean everything. Issei proved that by predicted his actions and came with a strategy with Transfer. It's hard to imagine no one Issei's team wasn't prepared. Unlike you guys I don't what to have a one track mind. Underestimating your opponent or hesitating could lead to defeat. The fact of the matter is no one on either team thought  it was going to be an easy match. It's simple Kiba wanted to face Issei, the same with Crom or Draig to be precise, Rias to Grayfia and something tells me Strada vs Xenovia and Irina was something they both wanted. It was emotional, personal or pride. But tell me this do you know any battle in stories  (manga, novel and anime) where it didn't have any of that or love, hate, excited or thrill. None of them are ever emotionless, even robot battles seem exciting or controlled by someone with emotions. Emotionless battles are boring and wouldn't make a story.
