This is just a question that came to me, so I thought I'd ask it: how do you personally scale the various martial artist of Ranma 1/2? How do you place them, from lowest to highest?
My own scale, and please note that this is based on the anime, my familiar canon, goes like so from weakest to strongest:
-Sasuke/Soun Tendo
-Principal Kuno
-Kodachi Kuno
-Akane/Tatewaki Kuno
-Ukyo/Shampoo
-Genma
-Ranma/Ryoga/Mousse
-Cologne/Happosai
I've actually thought up a personal "threat index" (aka how dangerous an opponent each martial artist is) to go along with this, but I'm leery about posting it to this topic- don't know if it's on-topic. Still, I'll put it up if people think I should.
For the curious, I'd rate the manga (from what I've heard of it) like so:
-Soun Tendo/Principal Kuno/Kodachi Kuno
-Tatewaki Kuno
-Akane Tendo
-Ukyo/Shampoo
-Genma
-Mousse/Mint
-Ryoga/Lime
-Ranma/Ryu Kumon/Herb
-Cologne/Happosai
-Saffron
