If this was anything other than a Rating Game, you would be totally right. There are many varieties of Rating Games and different approaches to them. While having tactics and a sound strategy isn't enough to overcome pure power, power can be rendered useless in certain situations. Issei and his team lost against Dulio and his team. And Dulio's team won because his team had more points and the time ran out. While being powerful is good, you shouldn't go into every Rating Game thinking that way. I believe that Issei is going to win against Sona. It would be awesome if Issei used Dress Break on Sona while Saji was standing right there. I think that Issei and his team are going to get a bit more tactical when they face Sona.
